Exactly as the question asks it. Look through the veneer. Are those Mythics really as conceited as they pretend to be? Are those slightly condescending comments by members who think they're all that really based on a holier-than-thou mindset?

You decide. Tonight, on Bungie.net

I think the only REAL elitists are an extremely small amount of the Mythic Members, the others only joke about it.

At least, that's what I think.

Those Mythics I have crossed paths with were genuine and friendly. Though there maybe some who claim elitist, and the title sticks as a result. :/

I'm no better than the next guy. There are those who have been here much longer than I, and there are those who have just recently joined. We're all here for the same reasons, and we all stay for the same reasons.

OT: I can agree that there might be some who are elitist, but I don't think it's ever been enough so that it comes across as hostile. With that in mind, there are probably a couple Mythic members that are....rowdy.

I think I have only come across one Mythic who has tried to use his seniority in a serious manner.

Well, you're wrong. We don't 'joke' about it.

I can't tell if you're saying they are elitist or they aren't.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I doubt it, Mythics that have been on the site long enough to get that title are usually mature enough not to be too cocky.

We're better than you. Get over it. It's just one of those things you need to face.

Your envy is flattering but it's getting tiresome now.

You know why Bungie included Elites in Halo? They were inspired by the future elitist community of their website.

It'd be silly to even gloat about it anyway. But to try and use this title system to my advantage would be completely unfounded and idiotic. I have no more power, nay-say or authority than any other member here.

The only thing these titles really mean are just a matter of time and commitment. Anyone could become Mythic, even if you get banned a lot. (And by a lot, I don't mean more than five times probably.)

  • 05.02.2012 5:29 PM PDT

lolnope.

Oh yes. Most definitely.

I don't think there is widespread elitism on this site. While some people may claim superiority, they are the minority and aren't numerous enough to create a real problem.

$.50 in store credit.

There certainly are some elitists around, but they hardly speak for the community as a whole. The issue is that a certain member will be bitter about something, and either blame or use elitism as an excuse. That's where you get things like hate for the flood and member titles. Then the few elitists of thise groups become the vocal minority. But as a whole i think the site is very accepting of most members.

If you think this is elitist, you should have seen the site between ODST and Reach. There were literally user groups dedicated to ganging up on people who had a different opinion and basing the argument on how your H3 rank made your opinion moot.

Just for future reference though, your poll really should have a 'Not Mythic, doesnt matter' option.
