The number of bad players are rising!

[ispano]

Changing the naming from bad to rude, etc. does not change the fact that there will always be a self selected group of elitist who believe they are special. Furthermore they feel they have to right to call everyone else bad and treat them as such. That is fundamentally the problem.

They feel they have the right to subject everyone else to their expectations and demands, but it is actually they themselves that are actually bad, and bad for the community and the game. It does not matter that they put in more time or got better gear or they know the tactics better, it does NOT give them the right to belittle other players and mess up their experience by simple things like forcing people to skip cut scenes that they are seeing for the first time.

Which means it's also not right for people on the other end of the spectrum to belittle people who put in more effort and time into the game either, because that happens just as much if not more often in my experience.

The idea is this, the so called "elitist" people that you are trying to describe, do exist. However, they come from a smaller chunk of the playerbase, whereas the mirror of that type of person comes from a much larger group.
