Gear doesn't equal skill though, so people with good gear can be bad players. People will always be elitist but with the duty finder the way it is they're all cramming into it and insulting players rather than planning beforehand. There will always, and I really mean always regardless of an item level check, be people who can't do what others will want them to do either because they were piggy backed to the top or simply people expect better than what you need. The latter is unfortunately true for a lot because people want things to be done as fast as possible and don't like any wait at all.

SE just need to help the community find a place to recruit players of similar skill/playstyle so that the duty finder isn't abused as much as it is currently. Or add more filters to the duty finder to distinguish between elite players and laid back players. I am a laid back player but I have no time for people who rage quit after 1 wipe simply because somebody was new. I like helping people not slamming them about it, and people leaving helps nobody. I have to say being thanked for helping someone get the feel of a dungeon for the first time brings more satisfaction to the grind.
