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+.

Edit: we were wiping after the guy in the video missed grabbing the gaze causing most of the team to get wrecked.

Playing with incompetent players its shady leads to elitism. I've played with plenty of competent low light players, and incompetent high light players. I try not to judge until we run a little and we can see where the issues are. Typically lower light players are more trainable, due to the fact that they have less experiences and are more eager to learn. Experience does not necessarily mean ability or skill. Light comes with experience and competitions. Due to the fact that rewards are limited to one run a week, that means that light may not directly reflect the players completions or abilities in the raid. I usually run through with my bro and normal group on Tuesday on Xbox 1, then run through with randoms and lower light players through the week on my 360 to help teach strategy and lend a hand. I find it funny how there is much more elitism on 360 than the 1. Typically due to the average age of the player on the 1 being higher from my experience. Players on the 1 usually buy their console. On 360 it's probably from their parents...
