I do understand concerns about “elitism”. Actually it’s not elitisim, but “jerkism”. You can be a good player, striving to be the best, and not being a jerk to people less skilled or whatever.
Anyway, the fact is that it’s already the case today. The fact is that players will always find ways to discriminate others for many reasons.
The fact is that if you want to raid in good conditions, you do it with your guild and friends. If you want to PUG, bend to the rules of the group you try to join. Or make up your own group? Apparently there are plenty of people who do not care about how much damage you do. And guess what, I’m one of them. I’d happily spend an entire night explaining boss mechanics to newcomers. I do it almost every week for what it’s worth.
The fact is also that if you need to improve (your stuff, your rotation, or whatever), you will never know unless someone/something points it out for you. I’m using Janxnx, and truth is that I noticed I suck. Did my group kick me? Nop, they’re helping me to improve. And this kind of tools helps, I would not know without them.
It’s not about discriminating people, it’s about helping each other. I’m pretty sure you have something to teach me. And I’m pretty sure you could learn a thing or two from me.
This is very much needed for everyone willing to improve. The pros largely overcome the cons.
