User talk:VegaObscura/Guest List

To anyone who happens to somehow stumble upon this page, it currently has no pages linking to it. I will be talking to the administrators of GuildWiki for their opinions and support. The basic purpose, of course, is to make it easy to find users to guest for your group. Everyone hates taking heros and many people like myself get bored and wish they would be asked to guest for something. Hopefully this will improve the PvP aspect of Guild Wars considerably by allowing groups to be formed much more quickly. The main reason it is hard to find groups is because people don't want to take the time to form groups. Ironic? Yes very. RA is much more populated than TA simply because people would often rather press enter battle than spend over an hour finding the right people to play the builds needed. Hopefully, if the admins like the idea, they will put a link to it on the front page. Until then, this page should be disregarded as not enough people will find it to make it useful. I realize this is a dramatic step, and isn't quite the kind of thing that belongs on a wiki. Wikis are more for information instead of useful tools like this, but this certainly won't be the first exception. In addition to having no other names on the list, the page still isn't complete. I'm sure there are more useful things to add to the list that I haven't yet thought about. Also it could potentially be a hassle to add names to your friends list only to find half of them offline or busy. VegaObscura 11:35, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

It is questionable if a 'Times Available' column be added to the grid. Of course the players couldn't guarantee the times they could play, but it would easily rule out the times that each player is working/sleeping. VegaObscura 11:35, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Meh. I'm not sure too many admins would agree to this, but heh...
 * The proph/fac/nightfall should be reduced to UAX. If someone *doesn't* have a campaign, they'd say so there. And the times available could be just "timezone;" easier for people to fill in, and isn't super specific. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 11:37, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Well there is a big difference between having all skills available to unlock and having them actually unlocked. As for the timezone, I think you're right and that is probably the best way to go. VegaObscura 12:16, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * This doesn't look like the kind of thing that really belongs on the Wiki. On forums and message boards, yes, but not here.  It looks like more unnecessary clutter and upkeep to me.Ninjatek 11:41, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You'll notice I mentioned that on the first post I made on this discussion page. VegaObscura 12:16, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Wouldn't it make more sense, since you can't guarantee when you'll be on, to rule out the times you definitely won't be on? GD 12:28, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
 * No? That would be most hours of the day, for most people. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 13:00, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

 * It's on userspace, it can stay. If people will use it, it's worth the effort. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 06:15, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
 * >.>...how will this ever be worth the effort? There are so many flaws...well w/e. Readem (talk *contribs ) 06:25, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

I think its a great idea. I'm the only PvP oriented player in my guild. If I wanna GvG/HA/etc I have to rely on PUGs and guest invites. I don't really mind except that it sometimes gets lonely waiting for groups in TA and such. &mdash; JediRogue  18:24, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
