They don't wanna punish the noobs. They just want to play with others like themselves. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't want to make up for other people's shortcomings. I want to play with people that will pull their own weight as much as I am. And if I'm the weak link and the reason a party is failing I will gladly excuse myself from the group while I figure out what I could do better. If that makes me a so-called elitist, I'm very much proud to be one.

And note this only applies to PF. I almost never DF unless I really have to.
