    Seeing as you're 11/12M I assume you have a guild, so why do you pug m+ and not just run with a premade group?

    It isn't elitist in any way if OP isn't an asshat about it, then its just a preference. If OP wants 3k IO only for a +2 that's his preference and he can wait in a 12hr queue to find that. If he complains that everyone sucks and no 3k IO players can be found for a +2 and no one else is good enough, then yea he may be a bit elitist.

    Not at all. I just want to play with people with the same experience as me. It's just my preference. I find the game more enjoyable and fun that way. It's not about what is required to finish the content.

    True, it's one of those if I happen to glance and somebodys at 2k+ io vs somebody with no io i'll pick them. I don't particularly care what the numbers represent past a modicum of experience. So many people get carried through mythic+ it may as well be irrelevant.

    I often do

    But when I pug I prefer to do it with people with the same experience as me so we are all on the same playing field. It's just more enjoyable for me that way.

    How's it "Elitist" ? It's just people not wanting to have their time wasted with potentially clueless players. Nothings stopping those being declined to form their own groups. Do they lack such initiative?

    It's my understanding that there are certain routes you might commonly use at higher levels that people who run 15s would be unfamiliar with. These might not be necessary to do the dungeon in time, but are simply what you'll default to if you're used to running more difficult content. The guys with lower scores will get stuck on these bits, likely mispulling and slowing things down. This will result in a worse experience for both groups of players. I think that wanting to run with players at your level of experience is pretty reasonable (speaking as a lowly pleb with 1500 rio and 4/12 mythic).

    I play WoW. I'm a 11/12 mythic raider and I have a 3k rio score.

    I prefer to play with people who got approximately the same experience with current content as myself.

    Therefore I use systems like Raider.io, Wowprogress, Warcraftlog etc. to see how much experience people have with current content to compare it to my own.

    Do you think that makes me an elitist or do you think it's a fair preference?
    This is the definition of elitist. Elitist is not a bad thing. You can be an elitist while being a good person.

    There's also a lot of anti-elitists out there that don't want to group with better players. Nothing wrong with that either.

    It is a preference, but your preference is elitism.

    being an asshat about it is the watered down version of elitism, that often spreads outside of the actual elites.

    being an actual elite who doesn't want to associate with the plebs is the pure original version.

    If you have >5k r.io score and someone with 800 r.io wants to join your group and you either say "sorry, I need someone who has more experience" or "sure, just don't die on fire" you aren't eilitist.
    I agree. People are allowed to reject people with less experience but the least you can do is have a good attitude about it.

    The word "Elitist" is just used in a negative context most of the time in here. A lot of people put elitist = bad person.

    It can be both. It's a fair preference, and a bit elitist at the same time. Where you run into problems is your ability to convey that preference, THAT will be what determines the use of the negative aspects of that word "elitist".

    That's wrong. It's not elitism at all.

    The most important question is - it's before or after nerf?

    I'm just saying as someone who is also a prog raider (I haven't played bfa since battle though) normally when we do run m+ there is normally a core group of like 3 or 4 of us and we just grab the first person vaguely qualified for the key who pops up.

    That said I'd never bother plugging anything over like a 17 in the first place (i.e if we're in the mood to push keys its going to be a premade period).

    That's incorrect then to always assume. "Rich" is also used in a negative context, that doesn't make it correct to use rich as an insult.

    Damn straight. I barely held myself interested enough there to read that one.
    He is like in the top 1-5%, how much higher do you have to be?

    Yes, if you discriminate against someone because of their race, it's the definition of racism. Whether or not it's bad is another discussion.

    This is elitism, but this is good elitism.
