I always wonder how many of these "elitists suck" threads get started not due to actually elitism but people who just generally are bad at the game, refusing to learn or to try to progress, and would rather get mad when someone tells them to get on par rather than do work. Not saying that is a majority of the cases but looking at how bad some players are and how stubborn they seem towards any criticism, wouldn't surprise me if half the forum complaints are from those types.
