    Random thought, its mentioned that the casuals are the majority implying that they control/dominate the game. Would that not make them the elitists by definition?

    It isn't very civil to not take the time to gem, enchant, open the spell book for your rotation and the dungeon journal for mechanics. It isn't civil to slack in group content. If everybody took the approach that some players, generally the one who get called out, take, then LFR would never finish. If nobody in the group genmed, enchanted, knew their class or the encounter then LFR groups would never be successful. Others are doing more work because you are slacking, and you don't deserve respect after you disrespect others. If you zone in I'm not going to be mad.
    I don't disagree. But if no one ever took the moral high ground and was the better man we'd all still be bashing each other's heads in with clubs.

    I'm looking to the better players to not only be the skilled people in the group, but to offer civil assistance to those that need it. There will be instances of attempting to help lazy or ungrateful people, and they should be removed when found to be holding the group back and unwilling/unable to change for the better. But there is absolutely no need to rant and rave at people, even after attempting to help them and getting it spat back in your face. Just continue to be the better person and calmly suggest the LFR group would be more inclined to succeed if this person wasn't a part of it.

    "usually" meaning the majority, so at least 51%. Prove it.

    Also, it's the job of the communicator to communicate one's message correctly to one's audience, not the audience's job to "interpret" what you're "really trying to say."

    Just a tip

    Well then, allow me to clarify:

    People who read and understood the OP, whether they agreed with it or not have critical thinking. Those people who interpreted it how they saw fit without using the proper context, no critical thinking.

    Maybe you didn't have the critical thinking skills to realize that people would interpret it incorrectly and should therefore reword it?

    There is nothing wrong in beliving that if someone is undeniably better in doing X thing.

    It's different when someone belives to be a special guy and everyone around him should just be pleased in the possibility of sucking his cock.

    Oh, that mantra.

    That's why I've excelled in every position I've ever held in the job market since my first management position at 19. Because mantras like this. While everyone else is complaining about things, I'm working my ass off and succeeding. Interviewed for my first job when I got out of college, and I told the guy that I planned to take his job in a very short amount of time. And I did. And then I took 3 other people's jobs until I was running the place. Because I think I'm better than others? No. Because I work harder than others and don't come up with silly mantras to make myself feel better about being mediocre. And this is something that I do in every part of my life, even in game.

    Famous elitists:

    Adolf Hitler
    Napolean Bonaparte
    Osama Bin Laden

    Famous Elites:

    Steve Jobs - Ironically also a jerk
    Mark Zuckerberg
    Tony Hawk

    I'm sure we could spend all day on the topic, but I have things to do. Feel free to google "elitists" and "elite" and make your own list.

    Having the desire and determination doesn't make you a jerk. Telling someone to their face you will take their job and then bragging about it to others on a public forum actually makes you one

    How does rewording someone give someone critical thinking skills? I can lead a horse to water all day long, but it is not my fault if he drowns instead of drinks.

    No problem. Google is your friend. I just don't have all day to list people in a forum.

    I do not disagree with that statement. If he failed, it was on him.

    So the solution you came up with is having them not do the runs you do....and the origional problem was them saying/ pointing out your bad and should not be in the run... do you not see the irony?

    If you don't want to prove something then don't make the claim. Its not my job to prove your claim for you.

    The irony is in your failure to follow the thread. I don't care if someone gets called out. I care about HOW they are called out.

    Im reading more and more crazy suggestions everyday here now. So im just gonna put in the only fix available for this game. Make it singleplayer. Problem solved

    I love all these "elitist" hate threads. Yes, people can be jerks, but this works both ways. Try making twice the effort and wiping multiple times so some lazy jerk can watch tv and get free loot while you carry their load of the dps, and that of five other people as well. It gets taken too far sometimes, no doubt, but you're right this IS a game, and some people ruin it for others by showing up and taking up space and expecting to be carried and do nothing at all but get the same reward, and that builds up a certain level of resentment towards "bad players". I can respect and understand moving at your own pace, that's fine, and the people who yell at someone who are genuinely trying ARE jerks, but no more than the afk and auto attack crowd.

    Never asked you to. I provided you with a sample, not a comprehensive breakdown throughout all of recorded history. Have a nice day.

    Then they should be warned and kicked... by people acting like adults. It is just a game. There is no need to escalate to extreme anger. Just vote kick them and be done with it. I neither support their right to suck, nor the asshole's right to blow his top because of a short fuse.
