Donation situation

Hello, folks.
A seasonal server looked pretty attractive to me though I didn't dare to try Frostmourne realm after I had read that donation shop with equipment from the (currently) latest raid would exist. Now, after some time (and Naxxramas), I want to ask, how does it influence on the realm's community? How often do you meet overgeared players with no understanding what's going on?

It's not like Icecrown where every plate is running with Shadowmourne, donating for gear is mostly for catching up if you don't have the time to grind but it's hardly necessary since raids and arena points reset twice a week. From a PVP perspective donating has done nothing to hinder the balance.
