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.
