Yeah, if they took ten times longer than the usual player, maybe anyone could get the gear just the same - and be behind everyone else - alongside a job, but they shouldn't be "forced" to wait that long just because you are fine with doing it that slowly, nor be attacked as if their reasons for it are "fail" because you have some anecdotal evidence to show it can be done.
