I suppose I'm the odd "elite" then since I think that those that are "elite" should help the less experienced, I mean the ones willing to learn, and pass on the knowledge and things they've learned to those that are learning (i.e. yesterday someone asked me to get on their mumble and give them healer tips for T13 since healing was a roadblock for their group). I say I'm odd because my whole FC and another LS say I have a "helping addiction" so I might have a higher tolerance than I others I guess. In other words those of higher skill should teach those that are willing to learn and not just seclude themselves to their cliques because you might be creating more "elite" players for you to play with. Just my opinion

Now I have run into those antagonistic "elitists" that people complain about. They always place all of their mistakes on others and never admit to their own mistakes and always call out and berate another in the party for a simple mistake. I would also say that the "inexperienced" players will sometimes (or most of the time) blame their mistakes on lag/"you didn't tell me this"/whatever manner of excuse they come up with. People need to learn to 1) admit their mistakes and 2) if they're new and they make a mistake, apologize if your group is upset and ask what you can do better next time if your confused. Now I am not by any means defending the people who go on the forums and complain about "elitists" but from my point of view it's the few vocal people who are giving the majority a bad rep.

Sorry if my post doesn't make sense, it's 3 AM -_-'
