It feels like 'elitist' is just the word everyone uses when they feel inadequate about their performance in the game when it gets brought to their attention. Slightly exaggerated comments we see in game and on the forums all the time:

My dps is leagues below everyone else? You're an elitist for pointing that out!

I'm using a really bad rotation? It's just a game and you're an elitist for not letting me play how I want! I don't care if there's a enrage!

Experience required in your PF? The fact that you don't let everyone run in blind and learn from 30 hours of wipes in a pre constructed party you're making is elitist!

Requiring a voip for high level raids? Pure elitist.


Yeesh.
