To be completely honest with you...I don't think it is elitist for static groups to have certain conditions in order to join. It is kind of bleh to start throwing that elitist term around just because static groups who worked for farm status don't feel like teaching a new player the content.

It is their static, their group, they are allowed to say whether or not you can join them and their reasons are their own.

Helping others is nice and I do it a lot, but you can't expect it from everyone all the time. They have their own desires to do what they consider fun and adding someone who hasn't even cleared A9S into a group who is on A12S might not be what they consider fun.

It would be nice, sure, if people gave people more of a chance to prove themselves, but again they have every right to not bother since it is their group and if the majority of the members in it don't have enough time to spend on teaching someone new then that is their right. I would say it is because no matter how good of a player you are you are still going to need some time to learn the mechanics in the fights you've never even been in and maybe those groups didn't want to give up their own time to deal with that.

So maybe the best option would be to make your own group?
