I dunno... I mean, I don't see what can be done about it. I think games like WoW and from what I've heard (mind you, I've only heard about this) FFXI has instilled in many minds this 'you must be this tall to ride this ride' mentality. You gotta be this good because we need to get this blah on grind status.
I've healed for one raiding guild in the extent of my (rather small) gaming career. The stress levels were way too high. I hated being in vent, I hated the fighting and the screaming and the finger pointing. I don't find that I play games for end game or raid content because I just don't enjoy it. Even the good runs feel kind of bland to me because I don't get to sit there and enjoy things-- everyone's too busy listening to orders and stuff.
I never enjoyed groups of people who refused to take lesser geared or lower level people with them through anything. I understand not wanting to carry someone who is just going to drag the whole group down and yet will need on every single thing they can wear but it doesn't seem fair to treat every new end-level individual that way.
Again, like Faye, I'm kinda lost on what can be done about it and more, I'm not sure I would want to infringe on raiders' rights to do whatever they want with their sub time by telling them they need to be more charitable and helpful to others.
