Yes. The elitism and gear-whoring is bad. Always has been but I think it gets worse as time goes by. More and more players forget that they weren't born into WoW, they had to l2p as well. And there are still new players coming to the game, who unfortunately often get alienated.
Gold Farmers are Very Bad (TM). Not much else to say about them. The money issue has gotten way better over the years though. Between the ample gold that drops and dailies, earning money is nothing like the grueling experience it used to be back in Classic. My first toon was raiding MC weekly in mostly T1 (which also used to be ridiculous to obtain a set) trying to earn enough gold to buy epic land mount. To farm 100 gold could take hours and alot of luck. 1k gold back then was like 5-10k now.
Also checkout 3.2 patch notes. Blizz is again dropping mount costs to almost nothing, and first mount at lvl 20 and epic at 40 now. They also move faster. Lots of stuff coming.
