I would venture to say yes, maybe not immediately but over time. It's a vicious cycle which is logical. The way this game is progressing, everything gets more difficult. It's getting harder to be more competitive. Your DP may go up from winning a Tier reward but it gets negated the next event because the bosses are powered up a little more. Everyone uses every advantage they can find, that includes finding better allies. Tier 1 players "cut" those that no longer apply to their goals (damage, time zone). It's no different then you cutting lower guys to add in higher ranked players or time zone players, again, better allies. That also leads to other problems. Banding together in the top ranks means that come the last day, they are 2 and 3 cubing to move forward. If not, then they could potentially be seeding an ally that is also contending for top tier that might push them out of the running. That's why the rest of the tier players may not see as much "action" from some top players but you still see them going way up.

I can understand being peeved or frustrated because you're friends or helped them get to where they are. Here's your chance to change it or deal with it and not just quit altogether. I say take it in strive and keep pushing up. Show everyone what a free player can do. Remember that this is suppose to be a game, meaning something to play for fun so enjoy it. Don't let the "little" things ruin it for you.
