I've had some interesting conversations with people who designated themselves as such (not in FFXIV, mind), because I had the audacity to play with others that they deemed lunatic lorebreakers. Granted, said people were of the "I'm really a world-eating dragon" variety, but I saw it as an exercise in creative flexibility on my part, while my accusers seemed to think I was a glutton for punishment. Or something? I don't know what they were thinking really, but I do know that they suggested I not play with said others anymore. Um, okay. I just kept doing my thing with whoever I wanted. That was a long time ago, though. RP elitism doesn't come up all that often for me anymore.
I definitely make loud WTF comments (that no one can hear) when people do odd things in PvE, but unless it actually becomes problematic for some reason, I usually just let it slide. Have myself a chuckle or an eyebrow raise and deal with it, especially since I've definitely been the one in their shoes at times. We were all noobs at some point.
