ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/about wiki...

Post comments If you have any...:)Zeph 02:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Couple of thoughts:
 * It's not possible. There is no real build information at wiki.guildwars.com. And www.pvxwiki.com (and wikia.guildwars.com) is not controlled by ANet.
 * It seems impossible to clamp down on the spread of builds generally, across the internet.
 * It seems draconian to try to clamp down on the spread of information. Whatever happened to freedom of speech?
 * Sharing/discussion of builds produces significant good for the GW community. The original poster himself/herself seems to have benefited from this.
 * Other people's idea of fun might not be the same as the original poster's idea of fun.
 * The idea of forcing people to have fun seems strange.... And if people want to experience the game the way the original poster wants to, they don't have to use www.pvxwiki.com in the first place (and, in fact, many people make this choice).
 * Wiki.guildwars.com also has walkthroughs for each mission -- should these be removed as well? And should there be some sort of policy that mission strategies can't be discussed on any ANet-run forum?... What about PvP tactics? Should it be against the EULA to discuss these, because it's more fun to discover them for yourself, and you should be forced to do so?
 * The original poster objects to his builds being nerfed, and attributes nerfing to how widespread a build is. But surely nerfing is a question of how overpowered something is, not how popular it is? If this is true, then anything that's overpowered should be nerfed, whether it's used by one person or by one million.
 * Thank you, you just said what I said... just in different words... Of course this is impossible... but it would be nice... All I was really asking was for the skills not to have individual pages... :) Zeph 23:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
