Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[Dante_V]

I've never reported a parser. I kind of wish that it was mandatory for anyone with a parser to tell me my DPS at the end of every run so I can know. lol

SQUARE GIVE ME A PARSER SO I CAN SEE MY DPS. *shakes fist at the sky* IDGAF about anyone else DPS. Just let me see my own.

With that logic, it's kind of pointless to report anything.

I see your point but I feel there is a huge difference between reporting a bot/rmt and a player who uses a parser because ermurgurd math.

Lol op is not a "elitist"

My thoughts exactly. I've played a lot of MMOs and generally the people who claim they are "elitist" are usually just decent players who like to belive they are in the top 1% of the playerbase when in reality they are in the top 20%. Not bad by a long shot, but not elitist.

Except it's not both, as I said. They don't learn the lesson, but you get some free dopamines from feeling morally superior. That's the only effect.

I think you underestimate the effect that "You don't get to play this game for a while; keep it up and you never will again." has on a lot of toxic players. Look at League of Legends (which is one of the few games to publish this kind of data): the vast majority of people who get banned once never get banned again, and their rate of reports drops off after their ban ends.

Forced to speed run? Dear lord, why would you ever NOT want to speed run? Tanking dungeon trash pack by pack is quite possibly the most boring form of tanking in this game

Some of us actually enjoy the normal pace of dungeons, mind you. Not to mention speedrunning is only available to you once you're overgeared. Which is a minority of the server population. Imposing that on people not ready for it gear-wise is a very selfish thing. On that occasion where I fought a healer wanting to strong-arm me into speedrunning, I was doing a WANDERERS PALACE NORMAL run with my girlfriend who was a FRESH 50 using AF1 gear.

Completely agree. Plus the obvious implied "I'm to good to wipe with you scrubs" mentality.

"Do you have any idea how many EX roulette's Ive ran to obtain this set of poetics gear???" LOL

It's a bit of an inside joke. OP is just embracing the elitist title given after some posts made in the past. For example:

Unfortunately, or perhaps tellingly, the ones not aware of this just latch on to the word "elitist" and then things spiral out from there.
