I've always thought of Elitists in RP, Raiding, and Pvp as those who define themselves as better than others because of their perceived skill, and derive pleasure from the attempt to make others recognize their perceived skill.
Being good at the game is a separate thing, and Elitists are not always good, but they always possess the attitude and believe that they are and you are inferior.
Basically, it's one thing to be skilled and play well, it's another to think that it makes you have more value as a human being and gives you the right to be a douchenozzle to others. Usually they do this, under the mistaken belief that you will be seen as -more- skilled because you are arrogant or unhelpful and it's beneath you to utter a friendly phrase.
