Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[Mature]

To me elitists people are morons who believe they are amazing and they are better than others and always highlighting the fact as to how many t13 items they\\'ve got or a bit like TELLING you how bad you doing rather than advicing you what you could do to make things better. This morons are usually between 16-20 years old . They don\\'t participate in LS (as I called them the mute ones cause they don\\'t say anything) they usually have a static too without it they will be in the same boat as everyone else. And of course don\\'t forget the PF called : one shot only , no noobs. And I could go on forever. I CANNOT stand people like that . I just simple blacklist and ignore.it makes you wonder why people get like that. Its not like they hold a world record or anything. They are just as ordinary as we are.

We all agree to disagree, this is based on MY very own personal experience and what I\\'ve seen so far in my server. I\\'ve seen people change which is just sad.

OP, I'm glad there are more people like you who aren't afraid to paint themselves as "Elitist" despite so much hate on this forum. There is nothing wrong with networking yourself around players of your level in order to enjoy some of the most challenging and rewarding content that the game has to offer.

The harsh reality is that for players behind the curve for whatever reason (just start the game or have little time to play), they can't expect to get carried or clear mechanical-heavy content without doing their own research. It's hard to make learning party because there will be fewer people in your situation. It's even harder because most veterans eventually get bored of old content and have no reason to revisit without new goals or incentive. You can't really blame them when the game overly promote repeating old and obsolete content (Relic quest) to make up for the lack of content to hold players until the next patch. You have to realize that you are playing the game differently than those that were doing new primals on day 1, jumping in new coil wings on week 1 of each update. You are essentially being forced to play the catch up game whether you like it or not.

Fortunately being left behind can have its advantages. There is a multitude of written/video guides to help you familiarize yourself with the content. There is also plenty of good FC out there that aren't afraid to take on newbies and help them through old content. If you aren't lucky with finding the right people who truly can open their arms for you then don't give up. Keep trying. Make threads on server forums and transfer if you have to. Once you find your dream FC/group to enjoy the game with then you will be set. The worst thing that you can do is give up completely and go on the forum and trash on other players just because they have their own cliques and prefer to play with similar level players.

I wrote it while Titan was in the air. True story. (I was bored)

I was eating breakfast and choked with laughter. Lol.

Once again the OP attempts to put words in the mouth of other people.

There are people that use their status in the game to punch down on others. There is no denying that. When you use experience as an excuse to be an asshole, you deserve whatever words get thrown at you.

What being an asshole is varies for a lot of people, but there certainly enough of the behavior out there in pf and df to have an effect in the vocal community.

But if you want to willingly call yourself a term that widens the gap between people and promotes classism, who am I to argue?

However not watching a guide is not the sign of a bad/weak player. To some players the challenge of learning a new fight is more fun then beating it.

100% disagree. The fact that it is an mmo means that you'll be playing with people other than yourself. For a dungeon, going in blind is usually fine, but for 8 man or more content, it is either lazy, spiteful or both. Don't get me wrong: If you want to learn the fight on your on, that's cool. You're probably not the only one who wants to do so. So put up a party finder or post a thread and find kindred souls, and go learn and laugh together. But to impede the progress of 7 other people is extremely selfish and should only fill the perpetrator with shame. I repeat, it is possible to find other people who want to figure things out on their own, but people who want to figure it out on their own, and go with others who are actually trying to make true progress are either lying and looking for a carry, or being nuisances.

Nothing wrong with being an Elitist. Just dont forget that your actions towards other players determined if that's a bad or a good thing. Don't put yourself above other people because you play how you wanna play and others play how they wanna play. That goes for all people.

[Skeith-Adeline]

And of course don\\'t forget the PF called : one shot only , no noobs.

We don't carry :P If we are farming, we don't want others to presumably leech. There are reasons why persons haven't cleared, and one of the most blatant is the person lacks the ability to clear. By avoiding a sol bonus, the chance of incompetency is reduced dramatically. And there is a bit of skill difference between the persons in ilvl 128 gear who can't push 4 meteors in T9 than the persons who push 1 meteor stream in T9; 3 bennus vs 5; 1 set of adds in Titan vs 2+... our skillbase isn't carbon copies of each other. If it was, we would all have our savage titles by now lol.

OP, I thought you learned your lesson a long time ago with your Titan post. This game is not about you, your clique. You are an overgrown bully and coward, someone who has gotten way, way, WAY to big for her britches. Just because you put in the practice and time and got good at something doesn't give you the right act cocky and arrogant like you have. Once again, you are all about the DF and how its for "experienced only" like you and your clique decided how a resource available to the entire community. Make a party in PF if you want an "experts only" farm party if you want it so badly. Being an elitist and being a noob have their bad points.

Stop coming on the forums to make the same post over and over and over again.

Lol. Looks like you're addressing a douchey mentality, rather than player ability. There's douchebaggery on BOTH sides of that spectrum. There's terrible people that wanna be carried, and there's terrible people that refuse to acknowledge that they once had to learn the instance/ dungeon as well. As a competent player I enjoy helping others through mechanics, which is why I switched to a tank class to begin with. As a competent player I also like learning stuff at my own pace. Main tanked garuda ex for the first time while learning on the fly. Took more than a couplea wipes, but we came out victorious- and nothing beats that feeling! With the possible exception of watching lazy players asking intolerant players to carry them. it's rare when I get both types of douches in my df, but when I do, I get the popcorn. 'Cause THAT'S entertainment

[Brill_]

They're mad that elitists just don't want to help them.

Wrong. They are sick of elitists that rip on people because they are not perfect at the fight on their first try. You said it yourself, fights are easy if you do them 100 times. I agree with that. What if it's my 5th time? I'm not going to be perfect, but elitists expect me to be perfect.
