There's no metric to measure RP on a scale of good and bad, so it's not really possible to objectively call someone an elitist. It's just a term used to bash someone who is vocal about their own RP philosophy and as a result of that is indirectly critical of someone else's RP.
Here's several instances where I've been labeled one though, not all of them are experiences I had in XIV:
These are just a few of the reasons I've been called elitist, it's really such a meaningless term when you apply it to RP.
Here's several instances where I've been labeled one though, not all of them are experiences I had in XIV:
- Having issue with a sudden retcon of character details that would have greatly changed how mine and others characters acted towards that character
- Objecting to canonizing more extreme fetish in group roleplay (and the children that fetish produces)
- Not wanting to include those whose RP is very "in the moment" and are unable to follow through in long term plot arcs in my own private plots
- Being put-off by characters with super healing powers that are neither Conjury, White Magic, or Scholar magics that attempt to roll into a scene and make regular lore-based healers completely obsolete with little effort
- Insisting that RP can be more than just escapism from a tortured life (this one isn't even related to discussion that happened here, surprisingly)
- Being a raider out of characterÂ
These are just a few of the reasons I've been called elitist, it's really such a meaningless term when you apply it to RP.
