Lol what? Elitists have existed in WoW since classic. There was even a guild and website named Elitist Jerk (I don’t know if it still exists).
The community was filled with just as many jerks/trolls as there are now. Barrens chat was infamous for a reason. The original lfg channel was closed because of trolls/jerks from the original community.
bingo. i get group invites on fresh characters (especially healers) fairly easily on the strength of my main’s io, but that’s because i put the work in the first time. i got into an 11 SoA the other night solely because of my main score - - they said so. i was on my alliance mistweaver at 215 ilvl (so by no means the best option they had) and the group had no lust, but they figured i knew what i was doing.
that’s not them being score-obsessed elitists, it’s them looking at me and deciding i probably could handle the key despite my ilvl. that’s exactly how rio is meant to work. we timed it and also timed the 12 after it. and i made two new friends to run keys with… which just makes it easier to find groups in the future.
this isn’t magic but you have to make an effort. talk to people. if you run with somebody you enjoy playing with, ask to add them as a friend. it’s a social game; you can’t just sit around and wait for invites to pour in from strangers.

Seems like millions of players aren’t fit for wow then.

Absolutely. But that’s true across the whole industry.
In the early 2000’s, gaming - which had been the realm of nerds for years - became the “cool thing to do”.
So a lot of people who aren’t gamers started buying games, but really had no interest in playing those games.
That fed into the rise of the mobile gaming industry, with its pay-to-win model. Non-gamers who buy games don’t want to play the game, they just want i to be over.
A lot of them ended up in WoW because the actual niche that’s meant for them didn’t exist yet. Had they just waited 5 more years, they could have been playing Cookie Clicker or Candy Crush, instead.

This is how much IDC about looking at the Combat Log, I didn’t know of its existence until much later, but I’m pretty sure the Combat Log has been in the game, since the beginning, right?
Competition and being the top is as old as humanity…all I can say is good luck on removing something as part of humanity and the brain.
The toxic ones are in reality over compensating for their insecurities; once your realize that it becomes rather laughable:)
god
this kind of message is stupid. and hilarious
you sound like a soyjak on r/politics when you start anything with “its time to ____”
no one has ever gotten anything done by starting a thread or article on the internet with “its time to ___”
you haven’t thought through the slightest idea on how to get the thing you want done.
you just say
“its time to ___”
is blizzard on your side? are the players? are mod makers? is anyone on your side? no?
well
“its time to ___”
XD
news flash. you’re not getting rid of dmg meters unless you get rid of mods in WoW entirely, which isn’t going to happen. and “gere score” is now built into the game with item level
so you know what i think
“its time to get rid of all these socialists in WoW”
we can do that by bullying them about their low dmg and low enthusiasm for competition and meritocracy until they uninstall.
the reason you want dmg meters to go is so you can be on the same level as everyone else, because you’re a socialist. but you aren’t on everyone else’s level, you’re probably a grayparse gary, and others will find a way with sift you out. the only way to fit in is to perform.

The forums have a habit of using 1 word (casual), to refer to multiple different things. I have seen it used in a way that conveys that someone’s talking about game skill, effort invested, and time invested. All in the same thread.

the game creates the environment.
If I need the best team to do the job the most efficiently so we succeed, Im not going to draft the worst players with the worst gear to do it.
The game would have to be VERY easy to get rid of the ‘elitism’

Elitism cannot be killed it can only be quarantined until those players get lonely and realize that in order to have anyone worth any meaning back in their lives, they have to improve their own behavior.
Nothing really changed in this regard from vanilla, except casual perception.
You probably never raided Naxx and that was fine. The players who did were putting in a lot more effort and ofc you wouldnt be invited into a Naxx raid just because you ask nicely. This was common sense and people were fine with it.
Todays players would be crying on the forums why they wouldnt get invited into a Naxx raid when they clearly know how to do it and already have their full pre-raid bis gear.
