I'd go as far as to say that raids are the reason behind why he's like that. If you went into the game without considering raids then you'll be fine, since as far as I can see, raids are the only point where you have to start caring about that stuff. It seems to me that for non-endgame content you merely have to not be totally stupid and you'll be fine. Just don't consider raids 100% of the game and you won't have to worry.
The WoW community has decided that raids are literally the entire game, which is something that I personally don't buy and is probably a big reason why WoW gets so much shit from everyone who doesn't play it.
