Counter to Elitism

[Alkimi]

Make fights that every job is viable with (impossible)

The Garuda fight probably did the best job of trying this (post BLM zerg nerf obviously). It's perfectly viable to do the fight with 1 of each class, plus probably another BRD for plumes as the 8th.

You can't really "counter" a personality trait. People will be like this because that's who they are. It's not "wrong," and while to the average person it sure can be annoying, it's not really something the dev team has a responsibility to try to control (nor can they realistically control it).

Players of all levels of talent have a place in the game, and no one group really has the right to suppress any other. If a particular person bothers you for being elitist, blacklist them. You are in control of the company you keep.

*Smacks you with a rolled up newspaper* NO. BAD.

I admit I carried around a ton of gear for SMN (and my other jobs), I had no choice if I wanted to perform upto scratch, but I would rather not see my inventory get faceraped in 14 because of needing a certain ringset or a certain staff for a split second every minute. D:


Ontopic - You're always going to get elitists in every walk of life and the best thing you can do is laugh at them and walk away. There are people that want you to perform well and the people like that who are worth it will guide you, talk with you and show you how to do a great job if you're having difficulty. The ones that are not prepared to do this are not worth your time.

Absolutely not. No gear swapping while engaged is the best thing to ever happen to this game. I should not have to carry 100 pieces of gear for each job, with 90 of them only being used for 2 seconds every time a specific ability is used, just to be considered "not gimp" on any given job.

I just ignore elitist, they don't know how to have fun.

Red Wizards have fun with everyone equally, except elitists for the above statement.

If real life is short, then an MMO's is shorter and shouldn't be taken so seriously.
