Feedback:Main
The guy admitted on his own talk page he doesn't read it. He said he likes using his user page because he gets updates when new comments are made and thus he can read them. 58.111.85.122 10:25, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Rules exist governing the posting of feedback in the feedback section. If every piece of feedback belongs on John's talk page, then we'll re-write the policy to state that clearly - but I'm fairly certain that's not what he wants. Until such time as the policy is re-written, suggestions belong in the suggesting user's feedback space and nowhere else. - Auron 18:46, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Why even consider changing the entire policy for just 1 staff member? We'd never consider that with Regina ...IE: why chase her down on Guru and validate her elusiveness? (more like work-avoidance).  Now... ppl starting new topics (or derailing existing ones) just to make suggestions makes the whole page a real garbage dump.  But there's no policy saying that stuff has to stay there longer than a day or two, given the devs have never commented on suggestions in the first place.  IoW, the purge rate for it could be a lot faster (if that's not already the case) b/c we're assuming he already read it, right? -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 21:30, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not considering it, but it is a theoretical option; the IP claimed John wants stuff on his talk page, and given he's the only one posting, it isn't too unreasonable to consider changing how we do things to better suit the dev. In reality it's an awful solution; feedback should go where it belongs and ANet should put a bit more effort into reading it. They went through a shitload of trouble (or rather, we the userbase did) to set up the feedback namespace, and it's the best we can offer to them. If they are unable or unwilling to read it, that's very unfortunate, but that doesn't make it alright to post stuff on whim to the dev talk page.
 * I don't mind using his talk page to get his attention, but it needs to be saved for only major issues - game-breaking bugs or a single skill that is destroying competitive PvP. Instead people post whatever bullshit comes to their mind at any given time, and that is what I have a problem with. Most people are fucking retarded and their issues aren't worth reading to begin with, and they're generally too self-centered to realize their suggestion might not be as awesome as they think it is, so telling them to put it in the feedback namespace with everyone else's suggestions is just met with hostility. If they were objective enough to weigh the merits of their comment before posting, I wouldn't have to police the page at all... but people aren't. - Auron 06:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * As per Auron, people need to shut the fuck up. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 07:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Anet does seem to read the feedback name space at least somewhat... This last embark beach update had several ideas taken in some form from the feedback portal. like the Zaishen vanquish, hero alphabetical listing, drunkard title, etc etc. Of course these are simple ideas that Anet could have come up on their own, but I like to think that they are listening to players. --Lania  [[Image:User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg]]16:18, 06 March 2011 (UTC)

Abandon ship!
So Emily, Strain, Phinney, and some other anet guy all ditching anet and gw2 for Undead labs. Smart move on their part. I knew Emily left but Phinney and Strain? Holy crap -- adrin  05:01, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Didn't jeff strain leave in like 2009? I thought he was one of the founders of undead labs. - Auron 10:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah he did. Apparently for him and a couple others that moved to undead labs, zombies are their passion or something like that. --Lania  [[Image:User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg]]16:10, 07 March 2011 (UTC)

Still looks like an absolutely terrible game they're producing. Not like Phinney did a ton of good for GW either. Stumme is the only lead designer in the last 4 years who's managed to put out popular/effective updates in a reasonable time period.--TahiriVeila 18:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that was from another earthquake. This time it's from a 8.9 one from Japan.  The tsunami already hit Hawaii and it apparently wasn't too bad.  Japan on the other hand took a bit of a beating. --Lania  [[Image:User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg]]15:52, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Stuff for wiki contributors
You know, i was thinking about the same thing just a few days ago. That would be neat! I didn't know the TF2 wiki was actually doing something like this. - J.P. Talk  09:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.
This imho hit all the right notes. Thank you for taking the time to write and post it. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * And here I race home, fighting traffic, park blocks away from my house due to a "police incident", grab a bite to eat in one hand while turning my computer on with the other, kicking my clients' work closer to the door so I can head out again quickly, swig back the last of my coffee to prepare myself to respond to another wall of text... and you've taken care of it. Mind sending me an email in advance so it's one last thing I need to prep for? Either way, yes, I'm adding my thanks. G R E E N E R  01:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Faction (Kurzick)
Hi! I notice you deleted the Faction (Kurzick) redirect as an "Unnecessary redirect". Seems it's used in a bunch of userboxes and is one of the top redlinks on Special:WantedPages since you deleted it. Might be worth putting it back? --150.101.122.203 20:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It makes more sense to change the templates and links linking to it. No one is ever going to search for "Faction (Kurzick)" if "Kurzick faction" is faster and easier. However, I do not own a crystal ball, so who knows. - Infinite - talk 20:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Makes more sense to restore the redirect, fix all the pages, and then delete the redirect to avoid redlinking a bunch of people. &mdash;Tanaric 21:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Did someone ninja edit the redlinks? I don't see it listed on wantedpages. - Auron 22:09, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I suspect that they were all resolved when the redirect was fixed in the userbox. (Just after Infinite's post, just before Tanaric's.) By the time I looked, Wanted and Broken Redirects were fine. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Quick question
You reverted my delete tag on Vaettir while deleting Berserker, both of which are of equal value and hold the same amount of lorical and mechanical inference - none. They both are a mere naming convention with a shared trophy. Bersekers are minotaurs and Vaettirs are Nightmares, neither of which are indicated to be affiliations and, to my recollection of searching prior to placing both delete tags, neither had an in-game reference. So why was one deleted while the other had its tag removed (without discussion).  Konig / talk 15:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC) - the in-game references and history of search hits were found/presented post deletion tag placement. I find the "no harm in its continued existence" debatable - for instance, everything costs space, so having something unnecessary will in turn cost space and thus do harm by costing space when such space can be freed (just one argument on how "causes no harm" is wrong). But I digress, it's not worth the annoyance of prattling over.  Konig / talk 02:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Same question for Awakened. There was no consensus on keeping, merely 2 opposing comments, and you removed it.  Konig / talk 15:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The only valid deletion reasoning I saw was redundant article information on one of the pages. The other pages have tens of thousands of views. They may be player-made terms, but they're fairly popular search terms if nothing else. If you just want them to be redirects to more appropriate articles, that's a fine solution - but simply axing them is not. - Auron 02:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Additionally, we should probably make the berserker page a redirect as well, considering it still has links (and is a plausible search term). - Auron 02:16, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Eh, to me, a deletion tag can always be remedied through making a redirect. As there are no tags that call for an action of turning a page into a redirect, I tend to see deletion tags as "either delete or set as a redirect" based on what's the purpose of the deletion and what the target is. But I shall enact your suggestion of turning those articles into redirects.  Konig / talk 02:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh and to answer your question: "so there's in-game references to it, a history of search hits to it, and no harm in its continued existence... why was this even tagged in the first place?"
 * iirc "deleting" things doesn't actually free up the space until it's removed server-side (and who knows how long that takes), so that argument is invalid. 67.180.236.203 05:35, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The content is never deleted server-side. All deleting does is hide a page from non-admins. - Auron 07:37, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * For all intents and purposes, "space" on the wiki does not cost anything. Bandwidth costs (a little), and losing readers costs, so any space expended to help any reader find the information they're looking for, or find it faster, far exceeds in benefits what it costs. --mendel 09:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a "space" that redirects do cost: the quick-search results. --JonTheMon 12:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
