Iron Banner only comes once a month dude you can do the raids every week. Besides I have like no interest in the raid at all right now, so at least I could spend a little time doing IB and level up. You also gotta remember that the rewards are [u]random[/u], and quite honestly how does it hurt you in any way? Just because someone took a different route to get to a higher level doesn't mean that yours is any less significant, if you think their achievements make yours less valuable then that's just your problem and yours personally :)
