LFM... I'm confused

Comparing RL and video game logic really just means you don't understand what you're talking about. As Rydin said, killing one IRL is alot harder to explain than in a video game.

Aside from that. Comparing games doesn't make sense either. Games don't typically start that way, but the community of MMO players has shifted a bit and it's need to adapt. Honestly it's better starting your own groups anyway, as sitting and complaining you wait for hours and don't get accepted seems like you're lazy to put in effort, and complain you get no results. It's counter-intuitive.

That reminds me of a good point. This isn't a typical launch. There are a lot of "Already 50" players who have done content somewhat similar to this in 1.0. Do players see that as an invitation to be elitist? Path of least resistance and all that.... Recruiting players who are already geared is the easiest way to get geared yourself.
Good point Strychnine

That said, Rydin, you can't call someone elitist for looking for other like-geared players. Because they want someone who put in the work they do(if that's the case I'm sure not always is however)you can't call them a jerk for it. The eventual truth that players like to miss is that we're all equal to other players, but the truth to that is we're not. Being in the same game and being another person playing it doesn't mean you meet someone's standards, nor are you entitled to do exactly as they do when you want .

Sure there is plenty that are just jerks. But the better way to steer from this behavior is not to partake. Start your own group and help those trying to do it. Players often mistake entitlement to something, with ill-regard to effort to obtain it. Take in mind if someone shouts for 12hrs that's on them, you could be done by now. Just seems pointless to insult them, just because you're insulted.
