If you can't average 1700 what's the point
I should /wrist then because I can't

What has me laughing is because these very same people that cry about "elitism" are guilty of being the same, just in other venues. I'm willing to bet fg, that they root for a team of some sort(say football). They want "their" team to win. What they don't do is say "I want my team to come in middle, not last place for sure, but I sure don't want them to win, cause that's elitist and no thank you." Trying to tell people that achieving is somehow bad is pretty funny...let's all embrace mediocracy in all things. I suppose the kids on here still in school, if they get an "A" on their report card they get quite distraught and beg their teachers to lower it to a "B" or "C" because they don't want to be "elite". I'm sure their parents would be quite upset with them for getting an "A" and tell them "you're doing too well, we're going to have to punish you for not embracing mediocracy".
Put it in another context and it's rather funny that people get "accused" of being "elite" like it's a bad thing. I think I'd rather have my favorite team win and my kids get "A" grades over "C" grades. If that makes me "elite" than thanks, it's a compliment.
Edit:
As to the original poster, your gear is fine to catacomb with me. I will cata with anyone that has put forth effort in this game. Sometimes I would rather play with people that have excellent gear and look to try to get them in the same group I'm in. It depends on my mood, if I just want to get some levels, then I don't care who's in the game with me(exception=leechers). Sometimes I just want to get a 1-71 done as fast as possible so I would like to find the "best" players I can to make that happen. I think many people feel the same way that I do. Sometimes you are more willing to work with others and sometimes you don't have patience for it. I don't think I would ever kick you from a game I'm in, but I usually join a group at lvl 1 and go to 71 with them and prior to that I'm on vent with all of them getting the group together. If we were looking for a +1 then you'd be welcome as far as I'm concerned.
