The elitists and the hardcore raiders are not necessarily the same thing, nor are they mutually exclusive. There's a lot of intersection here, but I've mostly found that elitists tend to be wannabe-hardcore types who manage, through blunt-force headbashing, manage to get to some level of progression and gear.
Because they have such a hard time progressing, once they've managed to get what they have... they don't want anyone else getting it, either. They're not going to care much about the actual hardcore raiders, but they need to have someone to look down on.
Hence "elitists."
