It's much harder to go from WW/Honor to Land/NW than vice versa. This is evidenced by the few warring kingdoms that have successfully made the jump.

In the grand picture...it may take more skill from the leadership to lead a NW/Land kd to crown but by average among all 25 players it requires the same or less skill to play in those types of KDs instead of war KDs who require more complex participation from each province individually.
This ^^^ is just wrong. A successful warring kingdom also "force-feeds" builds and training plans. Both WW/Honor and Land/NW kingdoms use attackers that can make ops (why waste the stealth and mana on all your attackers?!). In both kingdom types, the "general population" is told exactly what to do in wars and hostiles.

I was once like you and thought whoring was the easy way to play. Both have their challenges, to be sure.
