What is up with the DF community?

[RyuujinZERO]

I'm sorry but GW2 community is awesome, I played GW2 a lot and I've never seen the elitism displayed here, the worst I've seen there is people QQ for nerfs on some classes but that's about it.

Very much this.

GW2's community - at least on Tarnished Coast, is/was pretty much a beacon of how a community should be. Pretty much the ONLY place you found elitist attitudes was in the CoF farmers (And frankly there was no good reason for anyone but similarly minded farmers to join those runs), and in highest-tier fractal running (Which represented the cutting edge of GW2's progression gameplay. And like any progression content you had to be completely on top of your game, so yes by it's nature people were picky about who they took with them) - everywhere else, people tended to be friendly, helpful and open to newcomers.
