Counter to Elitism

[Reynhart]

Actually, if an MMO does it right, it should require adequate amounts of both. You should be good enough in elite content to know what you're doing, and it should also not just be a one-shot run for elite rewards.

One shot can be justified if the run is really difficult. The Raven Nevermore always gave you the Earring, but you'd still deserved it.

For the dungeons or primals, you probably need severals items, so you'll be doing them more than once. But even if you don't have an item each time, you should have something that made you progress towards your goal.

Like 100% totem drop for Ifrit, or a token from CC/AV. Something a little better than "Thank you Player, but your drop is in another dungeon"
