I feel like the word elitest has 2 meanings when it comes to WoW. There's the typical slandering version of it where people use it as an insult. Like someone tries too hard and yells at their teammates etc. Then there's the elitest term that describes someone who tries really hard and excels, without slandering them. You definitely come off as the later. I considered myself an elitest under that definition because I would use various programs to measure how well I did against others when it came to performance in raids. I personally never cared much for pushing keys past the point where you no longer received better rewards, but I would definitely use warcraftlogs while raiding. There's nothing wrong with only wanting to play with other people who share that competitive spirit if that's what you're asking. If someone sucks at the game and wants to take offense because you don't want to play with them, that's their own issue to workout. It's like playing a sport. There's leagues where it's all about fun and the average person is mediocre at best. There's nothing wrong with that either, it's just how people choose to enjoy the game. I'm closer to you where I prefer playing with competent players who have fun playing at a high level. Either choice is better/worse than the other, its simply how we enjoy the game.
