Elitism a problem in destiny...

Recently i was called an elitist when doing a raid with an lfg team. When forming the team we had 5 318+ guardians and one of them suggested his lowly 309 friend to fill the last spot. Myself and another teammate showed our displeasure in having a low light character join us as we know for a fact that people who are 318+ are skilled and people below 310 are not. Against our better judgement we let this player in. After 5 attempts on warpriest with the same 309 dying we finally passed it any moved on to golgoroth. There this player died alot. And then when i asked why are you dying all the time to him and that maybe you should raise your level to 315+ before doing a hard raid he snapped back at me you are an elitist. I dont know why he called me an elitist. Maybe it was because i was staying alive and he was dying alot. Then he said that those requirements arent needed to beat hard mode and that is elitism because i have a higher light than him. I am not an elitist but i do believe that one player is better than another based entirely on his gear. Its not my fault that he isnt skilled enoughto get to 315+.

  • I completed hard mode at 307. By the end I was @ 311. Every boss drop raised my light level pretty much immediately. I died first at the sisters. Light level should not be an immediate reference of skills. Elitist players will kick, reject or complain a lot when a low light level joins their fireteam for whatever reason. I'd say more than elitists high light level players could be or not huge jerks. A low light level player may slow down their speedy run. A low light level may make more difficult completing a challenge mode. Usually I think high light level players are dicks because they are in the raid to get those two or three missing 320 light items. So they want a quick run to get to it and see if end will give it. It's understandable I guess however they should not be jerks dick elitists if they accept taking a low light level player in the fireteam. Just say no to the low level guy if what they want is a speedy run with high light level skill players.
