No, no, you misunderstood. It's not your opinion that nobody wants to waste their time on something that's useless (again, though, that entire perspective still centers around nitpicking a SINGLE word from my OP) that makes you an elitist jerk; its your "I speak for everyone when I say so" attitude. You have every right to not be interested in "wasting your time". You can demonstrate your lack of interest by simply not responding. Or you can derail the entire purpose of the thread by feeling the need to educate me and assert that you're just "helping" me to choose a better path than being some under-geared scrub who yearns for the good old days. Doesn't sound elitist at all. Take a hike, Jack.

He speaks for me and I don't even know him.
Where the chips stack in our favor is that we see these posts crop up frequently (there is even one started by "ThePatrician" 3 hours after you started this) and eventually the usual suspects start showing up talking about how 6 man parties taught us
so much, that renkei making was somehow the epitomy of skill and challenge in this game, and they quit because Abyssea ruined their game of standing around in level 75 armor that was 6 years old.
This has been done to death. Post in your sever forums or ask people in game. Better yet, do a poll in Port Jeuno. 99% of the people will laugh at you but you don't care about that because you have thick skin and by golly you're going to get people their accomplishments. Good for you. The 1% of people you're after will join and you'll be happy.
We see your post frequently around here and we're worried that SE will think this is what a majority of people want to return to because they have a knack for taking the least relevant, least common denominator and then taking that and suggesting it is what players want (e.g., NeoEvoliths + about 6 other Neos).
Good luck on your endeavors. Please be cognizant of the fact that SE takes public postings and turns them into "OHHHH so
this is what the playerbase wants!", where "this" = some things that most of us who have actively played the game this whole time and aren't fair weather subscribers actually do not want.
