Loading screen is elitist.
IT TOLD ME NOT TO STAND IN THE FIRE
Don't tell me how to play loading screen!
soooooooooo this.
I'm not one to yell at people in LFR because I honestly couldn't care. I hardly ever do LFR, and when I do I usually just sit back and kill things as fast as possible. With that said, this thread is hilariously hypocritical. Casuals screaming for "Elitists" to get out of their raids, and then going on to be elitist themselves on these forums. "Oh you don't like that we're here? GET OUT" the same thing those "Elitists" are saying to you. Remember elitism can go both ways, and be careful not to be a hypocrit.
He is right though Tryl. There's plenty of elitists who are clueless as well, perhaps due to insecurity. However. it's pretty easy to grow an elitist attitude when you are skilled in the game an play for a top guild as the mistake to do is to hold every other player against the standard of the players you happend to be able to play with - which for me is a plausible explenation to why my patience in lfr is close to nonexistant.
The sad part is, that those who get "flamed" most of the times dont even try to improve. They are fine with beeing bad.
No surprise that people get vocal.
The only reason "elitists" exist, is that some/a lot of players just suck/dont want to get better.
And it feels like their number increases steadily.
"Back in the day" the two groups (elitists and baddies) didnt get mixed that often, because the "baddies" had no means to enter content they are not supposed to do.
People who usually yell at people and such are NOT "Elites" in this game. People who usually yell, act all important are people who have done next to NOTHING in WoW!
Just an hour ago I queued a random dungeon - Scarlet Monastery Normal and then a hunter and a priest started the usual arguing about how the other one sux, no the other one sux, etc. Then they started bragging, "I killed Garrosh Heroic and you're only 12/14 Heroic ... etc.", then I inspected their achievements and both of them only completed SoO LFR.
And this is not a single case, it is well-known that people who yell and brag the most are the ones who have done nothing. It's how life works even IRL.
People who know how to play are usually silent, minding their own business just so they're done as fast as possible. It's like that on forums, people always argue bla bla, but in fact have accomplished nothing and only copy what other people said so they can look like the "cool kids", but little do they know they're in fact the opposite.
Look at game reviewers, the loudest, yet the worst players.

By that definition, if you are doing 40k DPS and not understanding mechanics you damn well have no reason to feel elite AT ALL, and when people bitch and moan about "elitists" they 9 times out of 10 are referring to people of good skill who try and tell other people how to improve.
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people - Martin Luther King, Jr.
If he didn't ask for help than you weren't being helpful you were just being a dick and pointing something out because he doesn't play his character the same way as you, in short your ego kicked in and you felt the need to flaunt it, essentially sticking your nose where it didn't belong.
