What is an 'Elitist'

[Sessurea]

In an mmo community it sometimes but rarely means group that take that stride beyond everyone else, ff 14 example being the people who beat T9 I guess 1st ( or indeed, any1 who has beat it so far, as I'm sure there is no guides ). This would be a positive, complimenting connotation of the word. Nobody else could even begin to claim this elitism really. Elitism should be very very rare, almost non existent. What fraction of ff14 players have beaten T9?

But its most often used as a negative insult to throw at people, most often thrown at people who wish a certain level of play from their party. It's also thrown at people who condone parsers and any1 who is critical of other peoples play. The people who would get offended by being criticised by these people would throw the term "elitist" in an attempt to hurt the ppl offering criticism.
