I agree with OP.

Western Progression has single handed-ly killed mmorpgs.

And the biggest truth of it all is, because of how lazy people have become.

since when did being a good gamer that tries his very best suddenly become the hyperbole term Elitist?

This is no different then saying people that are hard workers at their job, and are good at it are assholes who dont deserve their job, but instead the lazy high schoolers that spit in peoples foods for fun deserve the job.
