User talk:Phoenix/Guild Wars suggestions/Archive1

Maybe a mod or someoane with better wiki code knoledge can arrange the page and formates it into a more official form. --Phoenix 01:04, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * This page really belongs in in your user subpages, Phoenix. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 01:08, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I agree, this belongs as a subpage of your user page space. I don't see any reason to give this the weight of a full fledged article.  It's just an opinions page, and one that ArenaNet is unlikely to ever view.  --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 01:13, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I think user namespace too - everyone will have different suggestions and this could turn out like the doppleganger guide! &mdash; Skuld  01:45, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Some other user (can't remember who) already has a similar page, and infact I was about to create one for myself too. But still, such pages clearly belong into the user namespace of the respective user. Phoenix, wanna move your's yourself? If nothing happens by tomorrow, I'll move it. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 01:22, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

I thought it would have been a good ideea to create an article so that everyoane could bring their input and their ideeas in oane place so that if a GW DEV comes along could easylly see and maybe add it to the game instead of different each in his own user page where probably would never be read by a dev --Phoenix  04:22, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Guru has a huge one btw &mdash; Skuld  04:24, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I have just created my own list in my namespace. At the bottom you can find a link to the GWGuru list.
 * As for a common list for GuildWiki, this is very difficult ground. Such a list is highly subjective and controversal. You cannot possibly have one list speaking for the whole community, since everybody has more or less different opinions and priorities. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 04:30, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * OTOH, I don't suppose anyone can dispute that there are some improvements that pretty much everyone in the community would like to see (like build-sets and the ability to add extra characters to an account). However, I can't see any practical way for us to distinguish those from the less-unanimous ones, so I agree that this type of suggestions are probably better left for user pages. --Bishop (rap|con) 05:24, 1 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I do understand your point, but maybe an "official" page with Links to Userpages (containing personal and subjective suggestions) would be a nice starting point for someone who was really looking for suggestions? Every user may put some effort into his own suggestions on his own userpage, but would they be recognized? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.127.8.20 (talk &bull; contribs) 2006-06-01 12:16:03.


 * No doubt it's correct that some suggestions are "popular demands". After all, the big list on the GWGuru forums is the result of the fact that many things have been suggested over and over again in new threads. But still, if we add such a list to GuildWiki, we'd have to measure how popular a demand is to decide if an entry into the list is warranted. And things get even more complicated when we touch controversial topics, anything related to game "balance", farming, running, exploits, ... For example, Gem's list linked to from the GWGuru list lists one item that I find horrible: "Anti-scam interface for running business. Something that automatically moves money from the runned to the runner when certain places are reached." OMG! ANet officially encourage running? No way! I instead would like to see running being nerfed! This is just one example of a controversial suggestion.
 * Bottom line: I think such a list as an editorial article isn't going to work. We might come up with a mixed format, where people add things to the list and sign the entry, similar to the Community Portal. Then people can add their opinion, whether they support or dislike the idea, and again, sign. Or, a minimum we could always do off course is to create a category for such pages in the user namespace. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 06:31, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
 * ANet have said they're ok with running &mdash; Skuld  06:39, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't want to discuss that any further here. It was just meant as an example for a controversial suggestion. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 06:43, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

As multiple users already have similar pages, I think it's reasonable to have a category for these pages so that ideas from multiple users can be viewed if someone wanted to do so. However, I still feel those lists, even when categorized, belong in the user name space. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 07:55, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Not a bad ideea How About ? --Phoenix [[Image:Phoenix_Benu.png]] 05:22, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
