when i played very frequently, i made shaman epic priority. i joined a guild - and then kept checking /who all fearplane to try and time the golems that way. then would show up and do many other raids regularly with my guild, and over time try convince them to check golems if i had a hunch theyd be up. got lucky, got a golem and a tear for DKP.
when i started playing much more infrequently, i didnt have the ability to coordinate things like epic kills as easy anymore - so i had to farm plat in my own time, and buy MQs. was able to get a cleric epic this way.
i agree that MQ farmers make the epics more accessible to lots of other people. its a different path to epic to group in velks or seb or chardok and repeatedly return to tunnel to sell items and squirrel up for an epic MQ. but, its a path that works for many people. without anyone farming the MQs, that path wouldnt exist.
