I see alot of people complain that elitists ruin the game. I wonder why people have this mindset? If you put alot of time into the game shouldn’t you be better than someone who only plays an hour a day?
Theres no big complaint in other games like overwatch of people who can aim better or know the maps better ruining the game.
I think it’s just really odd. It seems there is alot of casuals which cant accept that there are more than just the casual way to play the game.
“Elitists can’t ruin the game if we do it ourselves.” -Activizard
There are a lot of complaints of toxicity within that community.
I find it’s more because the majority of elitists fall under the category of “stop having fun” people.
It’s funny that people crap on the idea. Yes, if you play more in relevant, challenging content you SHOULD outgear someone by a large margin who plays an hour a day.
However, the super casual doesn’t want to raid and believes that they should have access to the same iLvl that high end raiders do, insert TF here.
Sure. This may make you an Elite Player but that is different than an Elitist.
An Elite Player will help those around them when they stumble. They won’t put people down all the time. Even if those people don’t play at the same level.
Yes there are elitist in OW as well. They are the ones that use “high skill” heroes and want the “low skill” heroes such as Junkrat and Mercy removed from the game. They already got Symmetra’s main attack changed. Hell they even go after Moira now.
Anytime you have people that play at high levels of the game being grouped with people that don’t, you’re running the risk of elitism and toxicity. It’s the nature of the beast. People complain that it didnt exist in Vanilla or TBC or whatever. But neither did pugs like they do today.
Elitists spend their time looking at other players and demanding that Blizzard change their gameplay in order to make the elitist happy. That is the primary problem IMO (other than they are toxic and ruin the community). I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why how I play is so important to an elitist who doesn’t play the way that I play.
It’s funny, because I think the mid-core group are more elitist than the upper-tier players lol.
Usually but now a days saying “hey maybe this daily quest shouldn’t drop heroic plus raid gear” more or less makes you a elitist. The bar just kept getting lowered.
Elitism has nothing to do with time played, or your gear levels vs others, or how much heroic and mythic stuff you have done, or any other in-game accomplishments.
Elitism is an attitude. The “I got mine, to heck with you” attitude.
The “I’m better than you” attitude (not better in game accomplishments but in social “status” or gameplay expertise).
Yeah but if you are gonna compare yourself to a player who are not into serious gaming or don’t share same values while constantly looking down upon them , you are gonna start a fued war
At a end of the day you are just a person behind a screen pushing buttons for time pass ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
There is no big complaint in over-watch because of how strict blizzard are with toxicity. So players who have an attitude problem are too scared of the consequences to do anything
When you look down your nose at us, we can see your boogers.
I don’t think hardly any casuals think that. And we certainly didn’t ask for titanforging.
I believe you should read more of the threads going on about TF and the like. There are many who are we that TF is their right and they should have gear equal to high end mythic raiders from simply running WQs and WFs.
No one group of people ruin the game. Elites have a right to the best gear due to their dedication and determination to put forth their best and put in the time to learn and develop their characters.
Casuals don’t ruin the game either. They play and ENJOY the relaxed time spent in game, and deserve whatever the RNG gives them, not expecting the best, but at least a chance for an occasional upgrade for time spent.
Everyone pays the same each month for the game, so all are helping to keep the game going.
Seems like most of them are just neutral about it because it doesn’t make a huge impact on the game, not because they think it’s their “right”. I’ve only see a handful so far that think it needs to stay.
In my experience, it’s been the opposite.
That’s just a stereotype. Toxicity is all throughout WoW from casuals to the hard cores but I mostly encounter from casual wannabe elitists than from the elitists themselves
My favorite thing was when the casuals got elitist at the end of Legion. I definitely have some elitist ideals. I’m against LFR, titanforging, and am big into more effort should equal more rewards. However, I hate world quests. At the end of Legion the same people that would argue with me about LFR and Titanforging came out and said to everyone “put in the work if you want the allied races”, and “stuff shouldn’t just be handed to people.”
Just thought it was funny that they are happy to get their afk gear handouts but when someone wants to play an allied race suddenly they need to put in the time/effort.”
