Just as a general point:
"Never talk about a set as if you understand it without spending at least three months in-game playtime with it, and have run it for all 50 levels."
New players can have valid viewpoints, but rarely will they have a fully cohesive view of powers and how they react throughout the full course of the game.
This isn't elitism, it's simply a fact of experience.

.... That -is- elitist...
I played for 2 full years before I finally buckled down and took a character to 50. Each character I made had obvious Advantages and Disadvantages. I didn't need a level 50 to tell me how to make my character or 'Build For Success'.
I've never resorted to using a guide on my builds, either... Getting to level 50 isn't the only way to learn. Some people are just better at math than others. Some are more tactically minded. Still others are capable of completing a task through sheer and determined stubborn.
I might fall into the last catergory.. >.>

I wholeheartedly agree. Elitists, and in fact all 'ists, need to stop and think of how they fealt the first month of playing for them. I am so tired of being talked down to by Elitists just because they bought the game before I did and/or they don't have to work 70 hours a week so they can get to lvl 50 in 1 week, where it takes me 4 months.
Everyone will have an opinion and talking about your powersets and builds can help you learn more and may even teach the Elitist a few things they did not think of before.
As the old saying goes, "2 minds are better than 1".
