Loose use of the term "eliteist"

[tukuiPat]

I agree with OP.

Western Progression has single handed-ly killed mmorpgs.

And the biggest truth of it all is, because of how lazy people have become.

since when did being a good gamer that tries his very best suddenly become the hyperbole term Elitist?

I wouldn't call him an elitist, I'd call him an idiot for the fact skill =/= gear, and his posts are all about gear. I've run into plenty of idiots in MMOs with rather high end gear that couldn't do their job in the raid/instance then me because they lacked the skill factor. Gear helps, it is not the almighty factor that prevents something from not happening if people lack any form of skill.

My point is, Skill =/= Gear and Skill > Gear. A top-tiered geared who lacked skill would be outperformed by a mid-tiered played who doesn't lack skill. This is fact from every MMO that came before this one.
