It's not a fear of elitism. It's an understanding of people and game systems and numbers.

Look at WoW, for example. You have all sorts of of choices (talents, covenants, soulbinds, and conduits, currently) but despite having options there's always a mathematically correct pick for every situation. You always take this talent, you never take that talent, "lol, you picked THAT covenant?", and so on. The game doesn't stop you from making the wrong choices but there absolutely are wrong choices.

FFXIV just cuts out step.
