Tired of Elitist? Just be patient

[Fuz]

I actually think that the item level requirements for the dungeons will be way, WAY lower than what people are asking right now.

Can't wait for it... will be fun to see that they'll have no excuse anymore.

As people say it's to stop the fate grinders to show up in AF and rest level 20 white rings/belts/etc and try to get carried.

<scratches head> meanwhile when i say something similar to this (with more tact, not calling them parasites or anything) I'm an elitist..

Maybe I just have a way with words?

I'm so glad sub started for 1.0 and soon for new players....we need to ween them out this is getting ridiculous in the dungeons.....see ya later not gonna miss you

Most the time it has nothing to do with someone being an "elitist" but rather someone who wants to complete a fight and can not because others think they can bypass the grinding of gear and get carried by the ones who spent the time to get it. I admit it is very frustrating to do a fight with people who are not geared for the fight, I also admit to being part of that problem when i wanted to rush my relic weapon and then i realized it was not my parties fault but my own for not having the gear to complete the fight. I changed that I have been grinding and grinding and was able now to complete Garuda with ease and can run AK in my sleep. Everyone wants to throw around the word "elitist" when 9 times out of 10 its not elitism its frustration.

I am the farthest you can get from elitism and will be glad when a lot of that calms down. However, I am very happy about the new requirements and I have not even done the higher dungeons yet. Personally I waited until I was much higher level than required for Bray, Cutter, Qarn (and worked to get better gear - GC and materia enhanced - in the meantime) so I could be better prepared and not be a burden to my team. I have ground my levels and won't even attempt to play the other dungeons until I feel I am ready. Titan was no problem for me and I am coming up on Garuda. I will now feel that I am ready when the time comes. I would not have been before.

I don't understand the mentality of racing ahead through levels (or BUYING them) without learning to actually play. What benefit is there?

We can only hope, but it seems that they may a have won a bit this time around.

Not that #2 is horrible or anything, but it might further drive the elitism to a higher lvl...

Expecting people to not be worthless baggage in your party is now "elitism."

I love these forums.

I only find that about 1 of every 5 player is an elitist and are usually never in for the long haul of the game.Wait about 3-6 Months, They will drop like flies back to games like WoW

I would like to know what an "elitist" is, and I would like to see the info you used to make the first claim (1/5 players).
Also please share your method to see the future, it could help a lot of people.

The bigger problem is people showing up to dungeons and raids in AF and Lv30 accessories.

Which DF dungeon requires gear better than AF?

I'm kind of annoyed with people assuming AF = shit player. Had a guy early-ragequit Garuda HM the other day because I was in WHM AF head, body, and legs... despite me having the damn Garuda Wile (WHM weapon.) Anything before Titan HM can be done in AF, GC weapon, and AH accessories as long as folks know what to do or are keen on learning as they go along.
