Of course, no one is going to believe that it's "just an alt", so they'll get lumped in the same group regardless... how is that not elitist?
Because farm is specifically meant for people who have cleared. At this point, they have put in the work and are not obligated to help everyone else. Regardless, it's a moot point since the patch notes allow us to block first timers. No more sneaks allowed.
