Congratulations!
I am hereby granting you the "finally provided me with a convincing reason to use an account" award. While you are not the first to mention marking minor edits, you were the first to do it while I was actually making many edits. --68.142.14.80 08:12, 25 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Hehe, welcome to the account-using-wiki then, I guess ;-) --Xeeron 08:23, 25 August 2006 (CDT)

unfavored in categories
i just went through there not two weeks ago removing categories from unfavored builds. how did those get back in? --Honorable Sarah 09:27, 25 August 2006 (CDT)


 * No idea, maybe you missed them or someone moved them after you checked. I looked at the whole category, but only about 5 builds had categories. The rest of all my edits is from untested. --Xeeron 09:30, 25 August 2006 (CDT)
 * ya, i'm seeing that now... i love your enthusiasm, but i think that was a bit premature. if untested is made into an isolated category, those builds may never get tried, and will sit in untested forever. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:21, 25 August 2006 (CDT)
 * It is linked from the builds portal, plus those actually testing are mostly those who know the wiki structure. Lord Biro was right that the categories should not be cluttered by untested builds. --Xeeron 05:10, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * seriously, stop messing with the categories on untested, that discussion is still floating. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 13:28, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Seriously, I didnt continue since I stopped yesterday ;-) --Xeeron 17:16, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

Blech, it's all your fault...
Ok, so this guy made the following vote: Talk:Team - 55/Famine

The vote DOES say "unfavored" so he expressed his disfavor for the build, despite admitting it DOES work. What gives?

The way you ask the question "Is the build tested or unfavored?" is like the question "Is your brother tall or blond?" You make an either-or of two unmatching things. I think you need to either word the question as "Does the build work?" or "Do you like this build?" --Karlos 08:32, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I guess his reasoning is: Yes, it does work, you dont die. But, it takes to long to be effective, you could achieve the same result with much less time using another build -> Since time is a major issue for farming builds: unfavored. Seems pretty logic to me. --Xeeron 11:50, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * But the finding and the conclusion do not match. If he tested it, he can't find out that "SS is way faster." Right? --Karlos 18:58, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Wait so you're essentially saying that "Tested vs Unfavored" is actually: "Tested and favored" vs "Tested and Unfavored"?--Karlos 19:02, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I would like to have more strict guidelines. However, on this case he can't say that 'SS necro is better' becase a ranger wanting to get to UW can't be a SS necro, so he needs another build - this one for example. A build can't be unfavored, because there is a build for another profession which is better in the same task. If there is a similiar but better build for the same profession, then you could vote with that reason. This is all my point of view ofcourse, but I would like to see it made official in some way. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes. Yes. No. ;-)
 * He can find out, by testing this build, testing SS and comparing the time. Yes it is "Tested and favored" vs "Tested and Unfavored". A build can be unfavored because there is another profession is doing a better job, or else we would be flooded by W/mo healers. I see your point though that this might be a special case if there is no other possibility for rangers to farm there. --Xeeron 03:36, 30 August 2006 (CDT)
