What Is "Elitism"?

I think you're missing the point. You can't be elite if you can't fulfill all the roles in a group dynamic.

I wish these posts would die a terrible, and very sudden death. Never to be seen again by anyone, anywhere, for any reason, other than archaeologists in 2000 years from now. Looking to see how we didn't all kill each other back in the early 2000s.

i have reese's pieces. this is a bigger accomplishment than an aenoic.


prove me wrong.

I didn't miss the point, I just didn't agree with your definition about elite. And that's not the same as missing points.

I consider players with 8 jobs well geared and JPed "useful", more so if they have helpful personally. And I would certainly welcome such player anytime to anything if they don't have annoying attitude.

But unless they play their jobs better than 99% of players, they are not elite. That's not the same as useful nor convenience.

To be elite these days, gonna need multiple DM augments, 15 ambuscade backs, and understand the main job at a level better than the other, to the point that they can theorycraft strats using their main job(see papesse). That means practice, grind, more practice and grind. And they take away tons of inv.

I can see majority of player have 1 to 3 "elite" jobs if they work hard. Ive never seen anyone with 8.....Yet. most of the time you get people with 5 ok jobs and maybe 1 to 2 elite jobs. And that would be the same as someone with 2 jobs but both elite in terms of eliteness anyways.

I don't think having only a few jobs takes away ones ability to clear content either. IMO 3 to 4 jobs in different role is good enough. Most groups that got world or server first clears didnt have 8 2100 jobs at all. Even SMN burn pt isn't smn only. 8 jobs kinda just spread the resources and some jobs ended up "not elite enough" due to inv issues.

Since we are discussing elitism here may as well set things straight.

My brd has great dm augmented gear for tp set, but not elite because no carn in main to rock am3. But aeneas/blurred +1, please help me become less gimp!

I only play mnk...

Id make some awesome mnk post but i r banz from the mnk realm

First 55 seconds; the attitude of elitism'

I only play smn. I'm one of the biggest contributors to why people are pissy about smn and aeonics, i'm the one who figured out schah is burnable.

Cool story bro.

Umad?

Me and all my shi$#%y aeonics

Meanwhile some us were rounding our 10-11th Aeonic w/o SMN while he “figured out” Schah. Buts it’s cool we can hand him out an ego primeX cookie for his troubles.

To be fair, Frod was a SMN before it was cool.

I just cast Regen and sometimes even use -na spells.

Salvage as smn was not fun, neither was most of abyssea. Odin was ok. Most endgame was a slog as smn back then. Sandworm and Ixion were fun, but *** camping that nonsense.

Also, it's not glitching Schah, he just doesn't have DT- with less than 2 pets. The only fight that even comes remotely close to glitching is teles.

There, now it's believable...

Q: What is Elitism?

A: It's Me, we know its Me.



we now solved the answer to the question, we can close the forum now.


:P

no I figured it out tonight. Elitism: the ability to not be able to do something un~optimally. When, farming plazm for delve it HAS to be COR BLU GEO and NINE mins or YOU SUCK. And that said person spends poorly used time, telling them how it was not done "correctly" or "optimally" , then goes on to say, "let me show you", invites their said such group, and snags all the loot.

We want Elitism not the worlds biggest pile of dung

Lots lots of *** in this thread.
Being an elitist is how u look at your own gaming. Not how u judge others. Thats just being a ***...

Thats being elite. Elitism is aiming to be that. Not actually being there.

1332 pages to go. Keep it going guys!

Needs more elitism.
