Um, I try very hard to not be an elitist PVE wise or rp wise, but I'm very spoiled.
PVE, I do my best not to look down on players with lower skill level, because even I make mistakes pretty often. Though I've cleared most of the game's content, I don't feel it's entirely due to my own effort. I still think I'm one of the better Monks on my other server, but hardly the best. There are still times when I'm greedy, or not creative enough to think of ways to extend my contact time on some Coil bosses. However, even despite this, I often forget that just having cleared Second Coil put me into a minor percentage of players capable enough or with a capable enough group to clear endgame content. I am reminded of this every time I do my CT/ST/WoD weekly. It tests my patience, but I have to tell myself that raiding is not for everyone. I do believe doing the hardest content in the game could make anyone as good as or better than me, and that achieving skill in the game is more a matter of memorization and mindset than any ingrained talent, so it really *is* nothing special. As I said, however, I'm very spoiled. I was able to access an endgame raiding group on Hyperion through a friend and they greatly enhanced my ability to play well, and that took some effort. Had I not met them, I probably wouldn't be raiding. I've never even gotten to endgame in an MMO before FFXIV.
As for rp, I do my best to respect everyone's writing style and interests. I am self conscious enough to not want to point out flaws in other people's play style or story lines, because I think I'm not quite there yet myself. Yet again, I am spoiled. I played on forums where people churned out massive essay-long posts of purple prose, and while that is not necessarily an indicator of quality, it did suggest a level of investment above and beyond the average player. I also held a very privileged position on those rp boards; on one, I was a moderator and one of the older members, and generally got into any rp I wanted to, or had a role in planning the story. On the other I was called onto the forum by request from a respected player to again play and help plan stories. It is a point of pride for me that people liked how I wrote so much, but I'm often concerned it will make me assume I have more power over an rp's narrative than I actually do. It's sort of a relief, almost, not to have that kind of authority anymore and not have to pick and choose who can enter an rp, or to be relied upon to plan campaigns. But I may have to do that again eventually.
