For what it is worth, I'm not too concerned about "elitists" on certain servers. In the end, every server is going to end up with at least a couple of linkshells, guilds, or whatever you want to call them, that will rub the community the wrong way. I am sure all of you who played FFXI can think back on at least one on your own servers you hailed from. Some just happen to have a bit more PR around the 'net, and their exploits take on a life of their own.
Besides, this being FFXIV, there is not going to be any sort of all-purpose or general "chat room" in the zones or areas, like the case of WoW, or Aion, or other games. This actually is a pretty big thing (a positive, if you will), since oftentimes the haterade that RPers get comes from those server-wide or region-wide channels, which ultimately degenerate in to bickering, trolling, and the like (and RP becomes a flash point all too often).
Anyway. Just rambling. In the end, I tend to take big, bad, elitist groups in stride. I did when on Gilgamesh in XI, and don't see any reason not to now.

A friend to the end to depend on you can.
I walk through the sea, swim through the sands.
To the edges of the earth, to your rescue when you hurt,
Only thing I learnt is I'm not Superman.
