Personally speaking I usually prefer to play with people even in there AF, I was walking around with no "elite" enough gear but I managed just fine. Was hoping a lot of the WoW crowd would go the Final Fantasy crowd are a much nicer bunch of people we like to help others and won't kick you just because your not elite enough. I prefer the journey and story of the game, I don't see the point in always needing to speed run and show my epeen around to others. Yes you have good gear but urm you suck at your job is what I see with most of the elitist players who think they know it all especially when there new to the game and try telling me how to play my job.
