Yep
True Elitists aim to to obtain the most valuable and strongest loot in the game that make them the strongest players in the game stat wise by crushing the hardest challenges in the game that challenges them by their skill at playing their own character.
Mindless grinding for money which can be obtained through casual and hardcore content does not equal to being Hardcore nor Elitist worth. It is down right insulting to call mindless grinding for gil (or gold in most MMOs) as hardcore or elitist level content.
Mindless grind for Gil is a time sink that serves nothing more but to waste people's times in the game that could be used for actual Hardcore contents or Casual Contents. There is nothing hardcore or elitist about wasting a players time being the level of casual, hardcore, and elitist.
