You earned your stripes in the Iron Banner for the armor you needed to become a level 30. Coming from someone with a character that did both, I congratulate all 30's and those close.
Who cares how they "earned" their armor. We should be stoked for others progression through the game, not create some stupid debate to make you feel better or above someone.

If you actually played in IB then you earned your gear. If you just went afk, hid in the corner and/or had a KD of less than 0.5 then you're the ones who make IB gear look bad. That said between glitching and getting carried, raid gear doesn't mean that much either.
