I find it quite ironic that 75% of the first four people to post on this have a history of elitism
This is exactly like an elitist would talk. A normal person would say 3 of the first 4.

It's simple because the stuff has been around since money existed.

[It's pride in being able to do or have stuff other people can't or don't have. So much pride that it becomes arrogance.]

For example, I am the elite in collecting bottle caps and sleeping because I have obtained the heaven ascension method in collecting bottle caps while sleeping.

Or the other guy who is the elite in FFXI (or any other RPG) because he could solo XXX mob while naked or something.

One is a former resident of Shiva that at one point ranted about people buying Relic currency who "Didn't deserve a relic and needed to leave the currency to those who did"

ROFL how old are you man, that's amazing. I would get into it with Tahngarthor because he was sharing hosts of Dynamis for his LS and buying up currency back in 2004-2005 for relic staff so he could melee with his smn for that 8mp/tick.

But also kind of impressive things from when I was a 19-20 year old basement dweller are being held against me in my 30's as a homeowner. I like to think I have changed a little.

Also, wouldn't those who practice elitism have a better idea of elitism than those who don't? The implication at the start of your post seems to be that elitists can't talk about elitism.

We can tell who are the real elitists hiding and lurking in our community just by word counts in this thread.

Elitists, you can run but you can't hide.

Is it still elitism if its true?

Spoiler, it isn't elitism when it's true. Scrubs shouldn't be allowed to have shineys.

Assura is the epitome of what happens when you give people undeserving, something shiney.

itt: lady was a basement-dweller at 19



jokes aside, people make bad decisions when they're younger

it's kind of silly to hold something like that against a person when they've very markedly/obviously changed since

also darian your post got deleted because you post stupid ***, overall

i highly doubt it's personal

And another spends half their life posting mildly amusing rants, trolling quips, and actually tries to play themselves off as an entertaining individual of merit.
What else am I supposed to do with the gaps in my life between smoking drugs and masturbating furiously?
You kids act like it's hard to type 100+ wpm with two fingers or something.

Idris only is elitism

Idris is a very broken weapon. I think a better argument would be demanding 4 song over 3.

I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with both of you on this one.

lady was kind of a jerk on shiva... And he seems so much nicer now that I thought he sold his character.

so if it's possible to graduate from elitism, then congratulations...on becomming so elite that you're not an elitist any more? or soemthing...
