Who cares what other MMOs have or do? All that matters is FFXIV and how it handles content.

There's fundamentally nothing different from a clear and learning party - both are attempting the same thing.

Those expectations are how the community divvies content based on skill level.

Clear = ilvl when it comes to quantifying one's skill. Both are equally flimsy.

While you will inevitably come across bad players in supposed farm groups, it lowers the odds since you have assurance everyone has seen the mechanics in the actual game.

Yet still, multitudes fail many "stack here" mechanics.

AYou merely seem to believe farm parties are made up of elitists because they don't want people who haven't cleared the fight yet in their party.

All of them? No. Do they noticeably exist? Absolutely.

No matter how many times you insist otherwise, that isn't elitism.

No matter how many times you insist other wise, doesn't mean there isn't a degree of elitism.
