    FFXI pre-dated WOW, this elitist attitude was there in spades .. and exists to this day.

    No.

    I could elaborate on just how wrong this is, but just no.

    In 2002-2003 majority of NA players weren't even end-game yet, elitism was very rare in the Japanese end-game scene, nothing like it is in WoW or most MMOs today. Let's not forget that the 75 cap didn't happen until shortly after release of the NA version, which was 2003 - Don't confuse the fact NA players taking advantage of the Japanese player's niceness and eventually "brushing off non JP players" with elitism - You seem to talk about XI predating WoW, so you remember the Dokaka festival?
