I don't have much experience with NNN, I pretty much never seen any of them, or at least don't notice them, could you elaborate on why you consider them hardcore and arrogant?
Truthfully, not all of them are arrogant. But some are, and they are the hardest of the hardcore. They're SO good at Normal-Intermediate, it looks like they're hacking. But they're not!
Like everyone did in the old days? That's a lie lol, i've played this game online since it started, it was just as divided back then than it is now, you had different channels for different schemes, and you still had scheme specialists who played only Ropers, only BnG and only Elite, you also had the all-rounders who would play all of them well, then there was the famous Warmer community which is definitely the most elitist of all time, and of course there were some players who would play any scheme, these people either faded away, or found schemes they would favour.
Even five years after launch in 2004 when I started playing the PC version, there were far more casual games being hosted in AG than there are now. By casual, I mean variants of normal or games with rules where the host is friendly to beginners. Then, ropers/clanners/the hardcore in-crowd got bigger, turning off everyone else. I saw this happen in real time.
