Game suggestions
Random Hall on Battle Isles: 8v8 pugs queuing up to fight in a random Guild Hall.

Dear Sirs,

I was at FA and someone mentioned that HA and GvG were too hard for someone to casually get into. I came up with the idea of adding another competitive mission outpost to the Battle Isles. This outpost would allow teams of 8 to form up and fight each other like in HA, but the 'Enter Battle' button would give you the choice of which guild hall your team wanted to queue up for. It would not take much coding to implement this and another PvP format would go a long way towards holding us over until GW2. Many people were disappointed with the 5th anniversary. The 4th was fantastic with the addition of the Zaishen quests and the storage panes. In addition, some are still resentful that HB and TA were taken away, but only Codex was added.

I appreciate your consideration.

Sincerely, Gerald Lindsly

 * You must be a registered user of Guild Wars Wiki to submit game suggestions. No, I musn't. I already did submit the suggestion via email. --Gero


 * One of your registered users? Gerald Lindsly   SSN ***********   Registering now? --Gero


 * The main reason I just undid your edits was the fact that you said "(I) don't care to take the time to find out." --JonTheMon 12:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't work for NCSoft and my time is my own. I did my part. I directly sent NCSoft an email which concisely described the idea. In addition I have record of the email sent and received back from NCSoft. No way can they legimately say they didin't review it. There is no need to post the idea on the wiki. They can have it. I wish someone was bright enough to sick a junior programmer on the one hour task asap. Thanks for your explanation. --Gero 24.209.30.149 08:42, 26 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, considering they will not accept suggestions via email, I guess it won't happen. I was simply trying to help you to do it correctly. Have a great day! Oh.. and don't remove comments from your talk page. Thanks! -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  11:41, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

NCSoft, you are totally missing the point. I don't have the time or the inclination to mess with your beauracacy to see that a simple valuable idea gets implemented. It's your job to improve your product and to engender loyalty. Not mine. I still have received no thanks for bothering to email you a profitable suggestion that could help your downsliding reputation recover.--Gero
 * And yet in the time it took you to post this you could have done as Wyn suggested 24.162.138.215 16:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In the time I spent dancing around with you folks on this issue, I know I could have programmed it. Why didn't NCSoft? 24.209.30.149 10:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC) Gero


 * I am not bothered because you removed "my" comments, but it is a violation of our policies to remove comments. As for my assurance that they will not consider your email, it is stated pretty clearly on their website http://www.guildwars.com/support/legal/termsofuse.php that the wiki is the only way to submit suggestions. I'm sorry this seems to upset you so much. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  17:54, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes, one learns. Sometimes, one teaches. Irrelevant and disrespectful comment moved to bottom of page. --Gero


 * Since we're not ArenaNet or NCsoft (just players), we can't really do much more than say "go here, since that's where ArenaNet wants suggestions to be made". We considered other options, but that's the one we both agreed on. You can try emailing them your suggestion, but I'm not really sure if it'll work; the best way to ensure your suggestion is in an appropriate place is to do as Wyn says. Whether or not you do that is of course up to you, but in the end that's the only place I've seen ArenaNet advocate.
 * On an unrelated note, can you sign your comments using four tildes ( ~ ), please, so people can easily see who wrote the comment; it's getting a bit confusing without signatures. -- pling User Pling sig.png 18:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, Pling, thanks. There is more than one way to skin a cat.  24.209.30.149 18:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC) Gero

Irrelevant noise:


 * And in your case, you do neither 24.162.138.215 16:39, 26 May 2010 (UTC) Try googling 'Gerald Lindsly'.   Obvious that I have done much learning and much teaching.
 * Nah, I wouldn't be impressed, I'm sure. What is obvious is that you think too highly of yourself from your responses to simple, easy to follow suggestions. Since that's the case, go your own way, as I'm going mine. Good day, sir. 24.162.138.215 17:06, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

If you would not be impressed by a Phd Computer Science, you just don't get it. --Gero

Oh, someone deleting *your* comments bothers you? Go figure. --Gero

Proper response from NCSoft to my email would have been:

Dear Mr. Lindsly,

Sounds cool. I'll get someone on it.

Thank you for your suggestion, NCSoft
