Elitist wannabe

I've seen this over and over during the years I've played this game, and it annoys the crap out of me.

Guy gets his first job to 75. This means that he is the only person in the game that have achieved something great like that, and because of this he knows everything there is to know about the game and all the jobs.

He's just that awsome, isn't he?

....

Not really.

And the things he does in order to make himself feel even better. Put other people down.

Isn't that great? Isn't that what this game is all about?

I'm all that and you're nothing but garbage.

Lately I've seen things like this in the linkshell I'm in, a linkshell where people are supposed to be helpful and supportive to each other.

Guy>> Yay! I finally got my Opo-opo Crown!
WannabeElitst>> ...It's totally useless...
Guy>> :(

What's the point in doing something like that? Maybe it's not the best gear in the game, but that's not the point here. The point is that it's a reward from a somewhat long and annoying quest. This guy probably spent a week doing this quest, and he was happy to finally get it done. To him it was an achievement. To him it felt good to be able to say "Hey, I did this quest, and I got this item as a reward", until the totally uncalled for comment "...It's totally useless..."

Guy>> I've been saving up for Sha'ir Manteel, I only need 1 more million.
WannabeElitist>> It's useless, it doesnt take that long to sing a song anyway.

Now here is where I had enough, and decided to put my 2 cents in. for those who don't know, Sha'ir Manteel is every bards dream. And I have bard at 75.

Zan>> Do you have bard at 75?
WannabeElitist>> No...But I've been in parties with bards.
Zan>>...
Zan>> Go and level bard to 75 and then tell me it's useless.
WannabeElitist>> I don't have to, because I'm just that awsome. I have Red mage 75, I know everything.
Zan>> You think maybe there's a reason why 90% of all bards at 75 have either Sha'ir Mateel or Yigit Gomlek?

At this point "WannabeElitist" stopped responding.

But really. What does he base the opinion on, that this or that gear is useless for a job that he haven't even level himself? Or is he just afraid that when this Guy finally get the Sha'ir Manteeel, he is gonna look more elitist than the WannabeElitist himself?

Are you a WannabeElitist?

Guess what.

I'm not impressed by you, at all.

I'm not.
