Watching some of those youtube losers go on and on about how casual players are bad for the game and how lfr should be removed has made me question why my money goes towards their WoW content.
The monthly fee should be less, and these elitists can pay for their own damn raids in the form of puchasable content like ESO.
Either that or charge less for the baseline subscription and limit it to 10 or so hours a week. Have the elitists pay more for living in this videogame.
I don’t want my money going to their enjoyment anymore…

Elitists can act like they’re the life blood of the game but they’re not even close. If every casual just flat out quit. There goes 60 ~ 70% of Blizzards Warcraft income.
It will hit Blizzard incredibly hard financially.

Wanting to have other people’s content removed because you think they don’t deserve it is the essence of elitism. Own it, boy.

Theyre idiots and will never get their way
The game will never be unfriendly to casuals
Don’t worry about them and just enjoy the game

Yeah, that is the fate that awaits any MMORPG if they cater only to the elitists.
Blizzard is fortunately smarter than that.

Casuals may outnumber elites by a lot. But “elite” =/= “elitists”. Many elitist opinions on the forums are posted by players that are clearly casuals.

Don’t elitists participate in the same content that casuals do with the exception of maybe Mythic raid? I mean, I’m a casual myself and even I’ve dipped my toes into Mythic raiding.

Yeah, it’s just whining about players who don’t care about min/maxing, going for world first, getting the highest raider IO score, etc etc.
They’re just there to go at their own pace, PvP, or basically have simple fun.

Elite players do hard content and do whatever it takes to do their best.
Elitists believe that the elite deserve more, and those who are not elite deserve less or nothing. There are elitists who post who haven’t played the game in years.
And then again, elite players who have a “live and let live” attitude aren’t posting in anti-LFR threads.

The question is always severity.
Casuals may do visions and islands but do they do visions and islands to the extent that they start to feel existential? I would say no.
What exactly do you consider elitist content?
M+ is just scaled dungeons. I doubt much goes into tuning a dungeon to be useable as M+.
Raiding isn’t too much different a new mechanic added and an extra phase or two for mythic.
Compared to the time that’s put into designing (at a base level) both of those adding the higher difficulty (mythic) and the lowet difficulty (LFR) is negligible.

As a casual, this is the best thing to do when up against anyone with that kind of mentality. They aren’t going to remove the casual content side of things. So if someone wants to be made about whatever casual thing they’re mad about. Then they can just be mad. No skin off my teeth.
True elitists wouldn’t be willing at all to engage in dialogue with people they deem inferior. They already have their stance and nothing you are or do will change it. Just take that in mind when listening to people speak about things.

exactly. and it’s not like blizzard is forcing elitists to do lfr. lfr is just there for those that dont have a lot of time, and to experience the end game of an expansion, and to continue to follow the story. it’s really not that big of a deal that elitists make it out to be.

It being there takes away from other things that are there. Consider the entirety of entertainment of the raid being X. Divvying it up into more receptacles dilutes the meaning of it.
Additionally it creates a state of complacency of having been satiated with seeing the story and not moving beyond to advance player skill.
