Elitist or not the emblem shows that you know what to do and you have the experience, just like Grimoire. I started playing last Monday, I was level 22. I stopped playing around December but in like 2 weeks I managed to complete (with amazing teams) the raids in hard and defeat skolas. I'm just missing the 50 public events (15 events now) to complete the emblem. There's nothing wrong with helping out either but it does get frustrating at a certain point.
