When you compared a games requirements to a jobs requirements, you know the situation is dire. I quit WoW in the first few months because of this mentality and would really hate for XIV to get as bad as that. As I've said before, an MMO being successful does not always mean it is good. "Unsuccessful" MMO's that have a smaller player base have a lot less elitism and trolls, and a generally nicer community. Of course there will always be these elitists running events but not to the point of 8/10 groups being "experienced only". It's at this point that I really hope people get bored of it and leave already.
