    If by elistist, you mean somebody that won't do certain dungeons with certain people because they simply aren't good enough.
    (VCOA, VWGT, VICP)

    Rest of the dungeons, I don't mind going with anybody.

    I don't do LFG business on gold pledges/trials/vet dungeons anymore after a group wiped in every vet Fungal Grotto fight, and a normal Maj group took 4 hours to complete the trial.
    I greatly appreciate people who are willing to teach and host learning runs - that's how we all learn after all, but i'm not patient enough to do that for others :(

    Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
    V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
    Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
    Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
    Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
    Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    I'm not competitive and don't like thinking that I need to prove to myself that I'm better than someone else. As long as I am successful with whatever I choose to do, that is how "I" determine success. Therefore I can't really be an elitist if I don't like to try and put myself above someone else. ;)

    I've been in the top NA guilds and interacted with the elitists there and it's not a very nice place to be. most of the 'top players' are really toxic people unfortunately, and the cheating / exploiting / hacking that they do to get to the top is abhorrent (known for a fact). from being kicked from groups because I WOULDN'T exploit, to being abused and ridiculed for not fitting into the elitist cookie cutter build types or questioning their outlook on what a GAME is, i'm much happier since I left.

    as long as you can complete the content to a reasonable degree then you're ok in my books. and if you can't then let's maybe sit down and work out where you're going wrong. let's NOT call you a 'filthy casual' or be a disgrace to both the human race and the gaming community by being elitist about it.

    @Kammakazi

    Elitist can mean many things to many people. Are you asking if ;

    a) Are you a total ass-hat who talks *** to everyone, posts your FTC report after every trash pull, constantly tell others how awesome you are and talk down other players constantly etc etc?

    or

    b) You choose to play with people who are equally as skilled as you and therefore avoid pugging. (ie play with guilds/friends and choose not to do content such as vCOA vWGT vICP or trials with random pugs. You feel that pugging wastes time and you dont always feel like spending 15 mins explaining every boss fight to every random pug who didnt even bother to go read up on the instance you're in thereby wiping you and your group for the next hour. You also don't like to play with special snowflakes who feel that they just have to do mag DD in 5 piece heavy armor while spamming snipe cos they want to play how they want. If you encounter such a player (a rare occurrence since you play with friends/guildies mostly), your response is to tell the group "ty for the run but I dont think this is going to work and then apologise and leave".

    If you're asking if I fall into category A, then no.
    If you're asking if i fall into category B, then yes.

    So im not too sure what your definition of elitist is. Please elaborate and maybe include a quick definition in the poll! Ty!

    I did play with an elitist in a random dungeon group today. I tanked it and after we were done a guy wrote "Thanks for group all, you were awesome. Except "insert name here" because he was a *** healer!"

    It was a bit disturbing.

    As for me, im not elitist, but i can tell when a group is bad or not rather quickly.

    Technically asking people to be reasonably competent is still "elitist", so yes I guess I am. If by "elitist" you mean expecting everyone to be top tier, then no.

    Elitist:

    1. A person who believes that they are superior to others (and thus deserve favored status) because of their intellect, social status, wealth, or other factors.

    2. Somebody who believes that society should be ruled by an elite class.

    So no, technically asking people to be reasonably competent is not elitist. So in no way are you an elitist (snob). My friend you are just another reasonable human being that does not want to waste his/her time.

    very interesting article, and for the most part on the money. I will disagree with one point though. in my experience within ESO some of the top players (ie no1 on the leaderboards) are the most vile, disgusting people ever to have walked the earth, and would better serve the game by leaving. I've seen them in zone actively abusing and harassing everyone just because they are such reprehensible individuals, using their 'status' to demean anyone playing the game just for fun. even sadder is that they often go to zones in groups of like minded bottom feeders and i've seen them gang up and shout down / ridicule and outright attack anyone who questions or confronts them. it's truly disgraceful. no amount of skill or titles can excuse such behaviour, and why they would do so is beyond me. definitely some serious issues going on there.

    The same reason why celebrities and millionaires are so taken to things like drugs/affairs etc etc. They have the perfect life we all want, tons of $$, cars, houses, dat hot girl/man on their side. But they feel the need to spice up their life. It probably gets boring having it all.
