Since I'm still somewhat new to MMO gaming, I'm not sure if what I've gleaned from the word 'elitist' is accurate. It speaks to me of a person who is knowledgeable, intuitive, skilled and well equipped (good PC/console/thing, as well as a good internet connection perhaps) but yet expects everyone else to operate at the same level regardless of their circumstances, talent or experience. When this expectation is not met, they either try to help others get there (to the best of both their and the other person's abilities) or mock/dismiss them for not being good enough.Â
There's both negative and positive in there, so when I read someone calling another an elitist, I try to take note of the context and the tone of the rest of what is being said.Â
Perhaps it is ignorance or obstinate contempt, but I find the very idea of a 'roleplay elitist' laughable to a pain in my sides. There are roleplayers who I deem good, and those I deem...not so good, but I could never look at a roleplayer and SERIOUSLY call them...elite. Nope!Â
Those who designate themselves as such make me laugh even harder -- seriously, it cracks me up to tears.
