son of a gun
Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of answering the smae old questions, as well as the fact that new wiki'ers never use the search bar? (or at least, most of em dont)--<font color="Blue">Ra <font color="Orange">ph  <font color="Blue">Tal <font color="Orange">ky  13:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have to agree that I am getting sick of all the same questions. I wish there was a way to make users read what's on top first, but I doubt that would happen. Oh well. Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 14:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * highly agreed on that. I've seen way too many repeated questions, and I'm starting to get really sick of answering them. it seems the FAQ is nonexistant now.... --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png]] Wandering Traveler 14:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe we should use a big box that says, "PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BAR BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS, THANKS!"--[[Image:User_Raph_Sig.png|19px]]<font color="Blue">Ra <font color="Orange">ph  <font color="Blue">Tal <font color="Orange">ky  14:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Like the noticeboard box? :P Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 14:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Use very big font. maybe even a very scary picture of what Poke or Brains12 would do to you if you didnt read the FAQ? --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png]] Wandering Traveler 14:11, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * ><....maybe put a rickroll link in wikilink blue just to tick em off >:D --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Raph (talk).
 * fill the entire page with rickrolls? I like it. --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png]] Wandering Traveler 14:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict x2) You should know, Wandering, that Anja is a more evil sysop!!!!!!!!!! :D poke | talk 14:16, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? never really had any run-in's with her (and with how you put it, I think I'm somewhat thankful) :P. but I'll take note of that :) --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png]] Wandering Traveler 14:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Because she always try to hide her evil side! But sometimes it gets out... :P poke | talk 14:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

dammit......hate to say biscuits...but by July, this page will be packed with Template:Noarchive posts :O :O :O :O :O :O :O--<font color="Blue">Ra <font color="Orange">ph  <font color="Blue">Tal <font color="Orange">ky  14:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

oops, i did it again!
sorry, seems I messed it big time again :(

was trying to merge & reply 2 similar questions and ended up by overwriting the entire article, my bad :(

could someone else fix this before I break it even worse? :(

having problems with revert edit :( --NIN37 07:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I really should not try to edit too many things at once. :(
 * Hope I fixed everything. Sorry, again! >_<
 * Next time I'll edit slower (cut/delete one question, paste into the other, and save. THEN asnwer it...) --NIN37 07:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Unofficial tech support page
Should we split off a separate tech support page? -- Gordon Ecker 02:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Are we talking for topics like "error 058 help plz"? If thats the case, I'd support that. We'd just have to make sure they post there instead of the game question, which seems to be a minor problem. --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png|19px]]  Wandering   Traveler  17:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And topics like the this one about a graphical glitch. -- Gordon Ecker 02:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I would support it but the name sounds like we aren't limiting it to GW issues. <font color="orange" size="2px">Dominator <font color="red" size="1px">Matrix  03:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Alternatively add more of the common questions/answers to the FAQ.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.png]] (talk) 04:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * FAQ would be good. The more we split up these "Ask a question" pages the more it's starting to feel like a forum... -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 07:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If we do branch out the help pages a bit more (e.g.: "Help:Ask a technical question" or some such page), should we have a help home page, so to speak, similar to the setup of w:WP:RD, where there are links to and short descriptions of what each help page should be used for? calor   (talk)  18:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the initial suggestion. Having that three help pages is more than enough looking at how many people still fail to post their problems to the correct page or even look up in the FAQ first. And more split-pages means more moving, and more moving makes everything here more messy. poke | talk 18:31, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of using the unofficial technical support page for issues which are too narrow for the FAQ and support might not necessarily handle, such as "how do I run Guild Wars on Linux" or "how do I run Guild Wars with my unsupported video card". -- Gordon Ecker 01:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think this is a good idea, but how many of these questions would we actually be able to answer without referring them to official support? The way the account help page is right now (in my view), it seems that maybe 67% of the questions either get referred to support, to the FAQ, or the error code page. I guess I'm speaking in-line with what Poke is saying; do we really need another page to monitor if the majority of the questions will be referred? --[[Image:User Tero Gein sig.jpg|19px]] te ro 03:53, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think a separate page would be productive. It would mostly be pointers to support, or bad technical advice. Judging by the amount of noarchive tags placed on this page, that one would be even worse. Biscuits [[Image:User Biscuits sig.png]] 16:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I need some help, please? :D
I can't figure out how to use this new weapon template, in a character template. Can someone help?-- Unending fear   17:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what is it that you want, but Equipment Templates, unlike Skill Templates, can only be used by PVP characters. You'll have an extra icon in your Inventory screen allowing you to save and load templates. &mdash; User_Poki_sig.png Poki#3  (<font color="#8B0000">talk ) 18:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

problems with the game
i emailed tech support but thought you might know or could help too. this weekend I and alot (and i do mean alot) of other people playing lost faction points when they transferred them to their alliance. i earned over 70k and lost 20k in transferring. today everyone in aspenwood kept getting logged out in PvP battle there and when they logged back in recieved a dishonorable. This happened to me also i was logged out 6 times in 1 hour the last time i recieved dishonorable. that time 3 other people got logged out at the same time in my party and they all recieved dishonorable also and they said they were missing faction points they transferred also. My guild has 10 alliances and 3 million + faction points i went to alliance chat to talk to them and the same thing was happening to alot of them also. is there anything you can do? i had a problem with a skill missing awhile back and emailed game support and it took almost 2 months to hear back. any help or suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated. I told some of them to email game support i don't know if they did i know everyone in my guild has. I had someone leave a very rude comment on my talk page and on theirs when i answered them because i went to the 3 people that have helped me with things in the past hopeing they would know what to do or have advice. this person accused me of spamming because i asked the 3 that have helped me so i wonder if i will get accused of spamming again since i asked the question here.-- Jenn 03:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Posting the same thing 4 times, why would anybody say you were spamming? BTW I have a reply to you on Wyns talk page. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 03:23, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Um you were the one that told me to post it here so I did. After the fact you came at me the way you did basically calling me an idiot, O thats right you did say I was Idiotic and redundent didn't you not to metion the cut down about my reading level, for asking the only 3 people I knew to ask. Like someone told you you were close to NPA the way you handled it and came at me. You were rude, hateful and was not asked by me for help.--User Jenniffercohen sig.png Jenn 05:19, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Will they get removed from the game or atleast their unfair mods removed? They provide an unfair advantage in PvP. It's not cool. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Waar Kijk Je Naar (talk).
