If you take the time to teach other people, like I do, you'll find that people listen, more often than not, and learn from their mistakes. No one likes hurling themselves at a fight 30 times in a row... take the time to explain the fight (calmly and without snark) and you'll find that most people will listen and adapt. That's been my experience at least... yours may vary. I suspect being called a senseless noob or elitist troll right off the bat might put them off from being interested in listening though, so more tact might be in order.
There seems to be this misconception that there are actual elitist trolls on our server. That does not exist. The reason why this mentality is present is because, to put it frank, people are mad because these "elitist trolls" sell runs and know our jobs. We are some of the kindest people if you treat us with the same respect, much like anyone else. Not once have I or a lot of us have been deliberately rude to anyone (before anyone jumps on this, I said a lot not everyone and no one is perfect).

In fact I don't know anyone other than a few of us who've taught players about their respective jobs, certain fights, even crafting, more so than others on this server who claim to be doing the work of Hydaelyn or something (not you, I'm sure you're doing a fantastic job). I agree with your statement: "Not everyone that hasn't cleared Alexander is a 'senseless noob', and not everyone that has is an 'elitist troll'" You're right, tact may be in order for everyone. Hope you didn't find my comments rude, I talk with a matter-of-fact tone and sometimes text can transmit weird.

Oh and before anyone uses the "derp u guys so rude on the forums tho" yes its called taking an easy advantage from easy people who seriously need a reality check. Waw so much drama on this server I'm done venturing in this part of the world today QQ
