Like many others too, it's hard for me to understand what your actual problem is. If you believe this is a good thing, maybe just another bit of proof of the stupidity inherent to the rest of us, continue believing it by all means though I fail to see the point in such posting. If this isn't your intention, trying to make it clearer might help.
If I got it right, you believe that many of us put too much effort into world-building and too little into the plot. The questions about world-building, magic and the like annoy you, because you don't think there important or consider posting them a sign of arrogance. By the way, I've noticed that this kind of things isn't too welcome on the forums anymore and therefore stopped posting any of it quite a while ago.
If this is your problem I wonder why you don't just ignore these threads and read those with "better" questions. No one makes you click on threads which annoy you though I also know that there is an unhealthy tendency to do just that.
It's become quite common here on the forums that members talk about how they've figured out what has to be done to become a succesful author and how everyone with a different opinion is so wrong and doomed to failure. I don't understand this missionary fervour. If you're sure they're going to fail, let them (us) fail and prove yourself right by succeding yourself. Not becoming a succesful writer will not mean life-shattering misery, at least not for me.
