Elitist...I'd say no. You're just finding another way to try and measure someone's experience in the game. First it was level, then it was the emblem, DTR and other stats from Destiny Tracker for ToO. Lastly, some began to use Grimore. I feel there is no true way to measure someone's experience in this game because there is no reliable way verify experience. Keep in mind all the carries offered by streamers, friends, and the worst one, the pay sites for trips to the lighthouse. They got the emblems, but get destroyed in Skirmish and can't hold their own in PoE. The same has been done for VoG, CE, and Skolas. The rest of the requirements are too easy for the emblem. Lastly, not all avid Destiny players use this site! There are some, who wouldn't come within a mile of the Bnet forums. So my point is, trying to use the MoT emblem as a measuring tool for experience may not yield the results you are looking for. But in the end, you game as you wish...just my thoughts though.
