GWW - FFS
Before I say anything I want to make it clear that none of this has any bearing on my RFA; my potential future actions as an Admin; nor my position on GuildWiki. I am still, as always, the loyalist...no matter how bad things look I will be here to the last. I was sorely tempted tonight to drop the whole thing, retire permanently from GWiki, and let the whole issue go. Only the Gods know how much the struggles and aspirations of GWiki have taken out of me personally, and I'm just about up!-to!-here! with it all. But, no - call me addicted, call me a slave, but I won't abandon GuildWiki. It is the least I can do, to be absolutely honest. It's not anthropomorphism when I say that I love GuildWiki. That is really the only way I can describe why I bother even to stay here...For GuildWiki, for Guild Wars, for the community.

Okay, well, I just went over to scan the "Official" wiki. And frankly I am disgusted.

The articles there aren't nearly as complete as at least 50% of the ones we have here on GWiki. I don't care what you say, "Oh they will catch up in 2 years"...I think it's going to be a much longer time than that. Since EotN is out and everyone's busy grinding for HoM or whatever, obviously no one has the time or the motivation to clean up things from past campaigns. We have maps for quests. We have pictures of most monsters. We have at least a complete quest log for all quests, with basic info and Accept/Reward et cetera. There are so many holes in GWW articles that I would not even want to begin and try and fix everything...

GWW hosts pages for guilds. WTF. If you want to make a historical page for [iQ] or [vD] then I think that should be acceptable, or maybe even make it a glossary term since even for PvE players the actions of the highest PvP guilds have consequences for them (nerfs and stuff, intelligent skill discourse).

Power struggles and Wiki-drama. A number of users I respect a lot here on GWiki...a great, number are admins too...have been doing some rather deplorable things on GWW and I feel saddened and ashamed. What is going on over there? Arbitration committees actually being used? Inter-wiki wars between users that actually last longer than a few days? A non-Wiki affiliated "chat room" that is leaking over into the Wiki? So many problems...so many people changed, in my perspective, from who I thought they were. Maybe it's just a different place, a different circumstance, but really. Aberrent80, Tanaric, Skuld, Auron, Readem, LordBiro, Gem, Karlos, Gordon, Xeeron, Xas/Xeon (get all you X folks mixed up, soz), Dirigible...I feel like I hardly know any of you anymore. And I have only really skimmed the surface of the latest happenings on GWW. Who knows what else there is that I missed?

GWiki - we are decaying but I think we are at least sane at the moment...but on GWW things are going absolutely crazy. I intended to go and check to see if my Username had already been taken (yeah yeah, we all need fallout shelter) but unless someone can show me that this really isn't how things usually are on GWW, then I don't think I could ever be enticed to edit there in good faith and with trust in the system. I'm still on GWiki because as much as we're screwed over and flawed here, we don't get crazy shit like that. Even at its worst, the Stabber debacle, Builds wipe, and Wikia move never got to such an ugly and corrosive level.

And the users, oh the lovely users! I haven't seem so many arrogant and opinionated people on GWiki since...well...since we had Builds. On just the few Admin's talkpages that I checked, there were at least three serious requests for arbitration over what would be a very trite matter on GWiki, or ignored...but no. Tempers escalate more easily on GWW I guess. Bad clientele? Maybe we have the old decaying guard, maybe we are obsolete, but I sure as hell prefer that over people who...are as tenacious as Karlos, as rude as Auron and Skuld could be, and are as insolent as Readem is on GWW. Too many intense users like that cause excessive drama. As Gem said somewhere to Karlos, "It's fine to be passionate about the game and the Wiki, but sometimes you have to step back and take a look at what you're doing. You want to protect and make prosper, but your actions right now are doing just the opposite." (paraphrase ftw) There CAN be too many rebels on a Wiki.

And lastly. When we compare policies and bureaucracy and stuff. GWiki wins, hands down. I can actually start to appreciate Gravewit's totally hands-off, delegatory style of management considering some of the absolutely ridiculous things I saw. I can't imagine the headaches the ANet staff and other top-level sysops get over at GWW...A policy which lists every offensible word known to man, as GWW:PROFANE or something? A broken and dysfunctional GWW:NPA which is incompetent compared to ours? "Is it a direct attack? An indirect attack? A sweeping generality? Can a userpage or an edit summary violate NPA? Does the offended party's opinion mean anything?" "OMG I'm taking this to ArbComm!" GWW:SIGN and the "Signature Zealots" crusade...GWW:NOTICE, a good idea in theory but I only see it being used for personal vendettas (no offense to any parties involved), which really circumvents the whole theory behind it which is to raise transparancy.

In all fairness, some of my alienation can be called Culture Shock...GWW is pretty radically different from us. Their layout alone is enough to make me shudder, so damn ugly and "Modern" themed...thank god for our wonderful Template designers, MetaWiki experts, and Monobook artists! Also, GWW is still younger compared to GWiki, so there is a time disparity. And, since it is run by ANet, things must fundamentally be a "bit" different.

But really, when I look at it all, it just makes my sadness over the decline of GWiki unbearable. I know Tanaric said to Gravewit somewhere that "You didn't build something monumental, we prospered in spite of you" or something to that effect. Well, yeah, you're right...Gravewit has problems. But really, beneath all the grime and flak that GWiki has on it right now and always did, this place is still near and dear to me. It's a gem and its value and shine are still visible if you only know from what perspective to look. GWiki has problems. GWW has worse problems, imo.

Honestly all I can think of is (WTF), and hope and pray that somewhere, somehow, someday...we will have one Wiki, one good quality Wiki. Free of third-party interference like Wikia or ANet. Free of censorship, in the bounds of (our) NPA. Full and complete and accurate information for even the smallest game details. A cool, calm, collected userbase that can have fun and construct the Wiki at the same time. Less martyrs waving the bloody shirt, less dictators and armies to cause martyrs in the first place. More accountability and transparancy and responsibility.

It's a pipe dream I know - I want the best of all three Wikis...the pomp and grandeur we still retain as sagacious GWiki, the "insider" knowledge and technology of ANet staff as GWW, and the free thinking independent spirit of PvX Wiki. I just wish we could all work together and get along instead of being divided constantly over petty differences and unimportant squabbles.

In the end, I have to blame Gravewit and The Community equally. We came first. Gravewit I can't speak for as a person, but regardless of my personal beliefs I think anyone would be hard pressed to say he has helped GWiki rather than stifling it, in the long run. He has had the chance to really make GWiki and even GameWikis flourish and he squandered it, just as Karlos has been wary of for so long. And the community - well, the problem with you is the abuse or nonuse of the rights you get as Wikians. Whether it is vandalism or apathy, in the end the Community speaks for itself and decides what it wants. This GuildWiki, GWW, and PvX that we have now, this is all your doing. We all share responsibility for this outcome...and I think we should all be ashamed of ourselves. (T/C) 03:11, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

 * I think people tend to forget this is a hobby about a game. I had to stop reading the Wikia discussion page so I'm glad you've warned us about the fractious nature of the "official" wiki.

I think I'll stick to keeping my head down and being relatively obscure, it's worked pretty well so far. -Gildan Bladeborn 14:18, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

Well said. One thing I want to add is a bit of ancient history. GuildWiki was once the pariah of the community, particularly in PvP. It is perhaps a bit hard to see it now, but there was once a time when "wiki it" was a synonym for "l2p noob". And some of that criticism was well-deserved (I don't know if you have been here long enough to have known User:Ollj. If not, I'll spare you the sordid details). GuildWiki became good because enough people cared for a long enough time to polish dross into gold. We were the trailblazers, we had the zeal of the pioneer, we were the underdogs, so we did the best we could, despite the greater GW community, despite ArenaNet's indifference (how long was it again before we became more than a "listed fansite"?), despite sometimes crippling MediaWiki bugs, despite atrocious site performance, and, most importantly, despite Gravewit.

It was only sometime between the GWF and GWN releases that GuildWiki achieved critical mass (much of it due to a few gems in our builds section) and ArenaNet got interested. Unfortunately for us, so did the rest of the community that had heretofore seen us with disdain, many of them regulars at GWOnline (who even remembers any more that GWO has a wiki also?) and TGH. They saw GuildWiki as sub-par, were envious of our success, and when GWW arrived, by God, they were going to do something about it. GWW was corrupted from the start by an extraordinary focus on policies, to the extent that from February to April the greatest activity there was in creating such monstrosities as GWW:USER, GWW:SIGN and GWW:GUILD. If anyone remembered that for most of GuildWiki's existence we didn't even have a USER or SIGN, nor even an NPA in fact, they remained quiet. And, with this focus on policies, came a ridiculously elevated role of adminship. It was partly ArenaNet's fault---they should have let the admin team grow there organically---but mostly it was people who didn't understand how wikis worked and thought admins were like forum mods, miniature devas who decide the fates of men. If you look at GuildWiki's RFA log, you'll see that all the initial candidates simply refused the nomination, and this log doesn't even list those who were offered (and refused) the position before GuildWiki had an RFA process. Barek, IMHO the best admin we have ever had, was brought almost kicking and screaming into the GuildWiki admin team.

Yet, despite all its (current) negatives, GWW is still the future. All wikis go through growing pains. GuildWiki itself had some spectacular battles in its early days, long before builds entered the picture. Over time, the community there will mature as well. An overabundance of passion is, if anything, too much of a good thing. If Auron, Skuld, Readem, etc. keep up their antics, they will eventually face the music. (Whatever you may think about an arbcomm, you must agree that Biro and Xeeron at least "get it" about wikis.) Eventually the community there will tire of battles and settle down for the long march towards feature completeness, where they will be quicker than us because they can simply copy the uncopyrightable facts that we had to collect the hard way. (Exactly such a project is already underway.) GuildWiki is awesome, without question, but the arrow of time is pointing away from us now.

Sorry for eating up so much space in your talk page. 193.52.24.125 22:48, 24 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Well written and many good points, 193.52. --Dirigible 23:05, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

Still, GWW sucks because they let themselves fall into a Ultimate Pit of Death because they introduced guilds pages, which makes the GWW useless on a stick (at least some of it). Also, they don't ask a quarter of the questions asked here, where I always patrol RC to anwser these questions, this means either everyone here is more Inquisitive than the crowd there, there are people who go here for anwsers, or last but not certainly least, they are arguing, policy-making or rambling to be as good here. I still like it here, but however contradicting you may counter-rant me, I don't particularly like GWW for its relatively useless areas and getting sold out here which I don't particularly care about. GWW must be a an equal balance of terror to be the future. Flechette 23:02, 24 September 2007 (CDT)

193.52.24.125, I can see I've vastly underestimated you from the start...I thought (forgive me) that you were "just another anon", but it's clear to me that you've at least done your homework...or were actually here first-hand, if I'm interpreting your tenses right. Which is pretty impressive, to me at least! Anyone who knows about Ollj and the "Days Before Admins" has been here since the very beginning almost. In any case this does help to explain many of your comments (on everything) to me; it puts things in perflective.

As to what you said - yes, I think you're absolutely right. The "ancient history" I know a little bit of, just by reading very old Talkpage archives and stuff. It is very hard to accept changes like what's happening or has been happening. GuildWiki, GWW, GWO, etc. are all intangible things. You can't look at things like profits, number of employees, customer satisfaction, etc. with online sites the way you can for a real-world company or business. Success and failure are relative terms and it is hard to say when exactly things are going up or down. Like you say, with the pariah/critical mass reference, GWiki is on its way down on the parabolic growth curve, and eventually, sometime in the future, who knows when. GWW will be the new GWiki. Eventually is a long time though...

Yes, I agree that Biro and Xeeron at least have some idea what should be happening. Any/all of the people who were with GuildWiki for a long time got to see firsthand what happens to a Wiki when you do X or enforce Y; though the medium is somewhat different, as long as some remnants of GWiki remain over at GWW, they will be kept on the right track. However perilously that may be >.> Huoh.

I also agree with your dislike of policies, as I ranted somewhere above...I think Karlos put it really well in his "Farewell Address" where he says, "Admins on GWW have been basically stripped of their discretionary powers." There is too much reliance on the hard letter of "The Law" at GWW, and it has been that way since its start from what I have read. Compared to GWiki, well, they are real hard-asses...And GWW:GUILD! Urrgh...like Flechette says, that is going to be one hell of a headache for ANet to sort out when the time for maturity comes.

I think the "Less Inquisitive" part of GWW is that they are less...how I say? Less caring about Guild Wars. I am not saying GW itself has reached its heyday already, but back in the days when Prophecies was new and fresh and exciting. Well. We at GWiki documented everything, no matter how insignificant or trivial it seemed. I mean, we have this fracking huge number of articles that even I myself would concede are utterly pointless and unncessary - obscure terminology, an article about "Casting symbols", documentation of past holiday events...These sorts of things have little to no relevance for an actual GW player. Yet we have them anyway. Why? Because we are thorough and complete and even at times, redundant. But that is a Good Thing(tm), one of the main reasons why we will still be way ahead of GWW in terms of completeness for quite some time...We just have too much info here, useless or not. It is like Wikipedia. Hitting "Random Page" here is fun, because I will probably stumble upon something I never even heard of before, and it will be a fully fleshed out article. In GWW? Nah...

The thing that is hard for me personally, is the excruciating wait in between when GWiki "dies" and GWW "matures". How long will that be? A mere month of downtime? A year? A decade? Never? Surely I'm being pessimistic, but I just can't help shake the feeling that before the transition is done we will all be gone and over. Even me, last bastion of GWiki, janitor who will turn off the lights, etc. When I look over at GWW and see the totally wild fights between users that go on (compared to the relative tranquility here at GWiki), it just stupefies me. How many have fallen, and how many are yet to fall? (Yes, I am really missing Karlos, and Skuld, and Tanaric, and... :\ )

Change is Good(TM), ultimately. Without change things get stagnant, rot, and decay into oblivion. But it is hard to accept. It is hard to look into the face of destruction and laugh, laugh because you know it doesn't matter..."The new guard replacing the old" as they have said many times. But I'm a member of the old, however late to the party that may be, and what happens to me? I don't want to be replaced and I can't very well become the "new guard". I just don't know what to do at this time.

Really, all I can say is: I'm lost. And I'm afraid of what will happen. I face each new day on GWiki knowing that it is one step closer to the last...I do the simple managerial duties that admins should, because it is rote. But how will I know when it's time to call it quits? I can preach and delete and ban all I want; in the end it's just a facade to hide behind, a mask of confidence against the end. I'm no leader, I don't care what you say...Maybe I'm one of the only ones left, maybe I'm the best we have, but sometimes the best is not enough. Just like God and Christianity, in times of darkness all I can really rely on is my faith in GuildWiki. Live by GuildWiki, die by GuildWiki.

It's hard to accept change. (T/C) 00:42, 25 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Yes, I have been here nearly from the beginning. For a while I had a username and even achieved a certain amount of renown. Your last two paragraphs are a bit too sad. Cheer up! Death, when it comes, is a celebration of a life well lived. This is true of humans and communities alike. And we are far from death. Our recent changes may not crawl by at a furious pace like at GWW, but as recently as the day after GW:EN's release we had a full strategy guide for the Great Destroyer, quest text and all. It would be a week before GWW would catch up to us. (Compare article histories if you don't believe me.) Think of adminning this wiki as surfing. The fun doesn't even start until the wave crests. Chin up, and keep your balance! 193.52.24.125 13:27, 25 September 2007 (CDT)

 * I've been fully working on GWW for the last 3 days, specially on Gem's project and related tasks, and my impression so far is that GWW has a strong "sense of work" in comparison to GuildWiki's "sense of community". I don't find things like the GWW:SIGN crusaders you mentioned to be that bad, but a consequence of this policy-obsessed ambient (probably a consequence of GWW user base being mostly former GuildWiki users who left with a solid idea of how to start a wiki) is that talk pages are full of suggestions and corrections about your work on the wiki, and talk pages such as this are something I tend to miss. I mean, "User talk: Entropy" is practically a mini-community, a common space were many users acctually "hang out". This kind of user talks are an every-day thing we at GuildWiki kinda take for granted, but, at least by my first impression, I can say this is something important that is lacking at GWW. I feel GWW is more like a job than a community, and probably that's not a bad thing in a way, but the social aspect is also important, as it attracts more users to the wiki, strengthening its community and thus enhacing its quality.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 10:39, 26 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I can kinda see a similarity between how the Wikis work and how I tend to play the game, and I think it's pretty accurate... when I'm playing a mission for the first time, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, I join a full party, work my way through it. Same goes for quests; I take my time and have fun seeing all the dialog as well. Second, third characters? Not so much. I know how to do everything now, so I tend to prefer working alone. I've already seen the quest, so I do it quickly and efficiently.
 * Same goes for the Wikis. Like Entropy said, GuildWiki came into being at the same time as Prophecies, so people documented every cool thing they found, and had fun doing it. Obviously, these people still have fun, or they wouldn't keep doing this; but we've already seen how everything works, we know at least one possible result for most of our actions, and we adjust accordingly. This, I believe, is why GWW works so much differently, yet simultaneously the same. Most of the admins already know why ideas should be shot down, and already know what ideas have been shot down, so they're especially picky about policies. Everyone already knows how to format articles correctly, so they get done without much discussion going on. If you look through GWW, you'll see lots of bland-looking, yet fully finished articles; no discussion on the skill page, all the relevant notes, and so on. It just looks like people already did it before, and the second time around was boring as hell. Look at the skill pages for the new skills (EotN skills), and you see extra notes, huge discussions, and, well, it looks like people had fun. GWW is the younger child; it may get more attention sometimes, but it can't quite live up to it's older sibling, is stuck wearing hand-me-downs, and it sometimes doesn't have the option to learn from it's mistakes, like it's older sibling did. But then again, it's got the benefit of the experience, and it's still young enough to really grow into it's role and make a difference. I feel bad ignoring one wiki just to edit the other, so I stay on both; but sometimes, the younger one just needs more attention, you know? It's just hitting puberty too.
 * ...eh, I lost track of my point and turned that from a gaming analogy into a family analogy. Meh, still got a point across. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  13:56, 26 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Still, it's a great point. /Agree.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 17:23, 26 September 2007 (CDT)
 * And what's worse... ever since GWW allowed guild pages, people have gotten it into their thick heads that though some law of well-the-names-are-similar-so-must-be-the-policies, WE allow guild pages. It's annoying me to no end! --Macros 22:59, 26 September 2007 (CDT)
 * But we've got people like Entropy to push little "delete" buttons on those, so it's not a huge deal. :P They're not as common as they were before, I haven't seen any attempts at creating a guild: page in a while now... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  23:50, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, I will do /agree with everyone here...sigh. It's kind of ironic how GWW has a policy for Userpages, but the one on GWiki was shot down long time ago. I think that is something you were getting at, Ereanor. They are both Wikis, about the same subject, but very different nonetheless... (T/C) 00:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Staff-sassin
Well, it actually seems a decent concept for a joke build, but it still has 1 huge problem: No dual to use impale :P --Gimmethegepgun 09:42, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah...I was checking the "Attack Chains Quick Reference" and just picking everything that wasn't in Dagger Mastery. Hrm...Perhaps I could stick in Vampiric Assault and recommend a weapon swap. That is not in Dagger Mastery or Critical Strikes, and it's Lifestealing. However, then I lose my Elite Skill! Oh noes :( [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:05, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

 * That is a good idea - two more Conditions ftw. That is everything except Dazed (leet only) and Burning (not in Azn skills). Although it also means I can drop Impale, since the extra Deep Would would be redundant. I like the idea of Promise...the only issue is that Palm Strike also fits totally perfectly for the concept.

Re: HoM Pages
Sorry about clogging up the new pages/recent changes. I'm done creating new pages now though, I was just copying and pasting to make it faster and got a lot of pages created in a short time. Edits obviously won't be as frequent because I have to make progress in the game to change one of them (unless I'm reformatting, but I think the format I've got now looks fine) so it shouldn't happen again. I'll also try to update them a little less frequently so that my pages don't appear on the recent changes as often. If you need to filter out the user pages and user talk pages from the recent changes list you can just select (Main) for Namespace and click Go. -- Kirbman 14:45, 22 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Well I was just looking and most of those pages are virtually empty, like "No Monumental Tapestry" or stuff. It seems like for one character you could make one HoM page with all the monuments on it, to save space. And if you end up never getting around to finishing them, well, then it's a lot of wasted space...I mean, getting full HoM for multiple chars will take quite some time eh? Oh well, it's fine and like you say just isolated incident. Heh, at first I thought it was a spam vandal attack, RC flooded with Newpages...

Can you please bring me up to speed on everything that has happened here since May/June and where I should start with things that need editing? I would like to be more active here again. —ǥrɩɳsɧ ƿoɲ  00:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Erm...I can't help much there since I mostly do maintenance rather than actual editing, but anyways...The main things which have happened are the release of GWEN/EotN, and the Wikia move. EotN I don't even have, but I am sure you can skim around and find those relatively new articles and help out there. We have lots of incomplete data for them...Wikia Move, is not an editing type thing, but you should know about it if you are going to become active again. Wikia Move has details.

dude, don't delete comments
Entropy, you made a change on the Talk:Game updates with this comment, was that directed at me? Because you should know by the sorts of contributions I make to this wiki, I would not knowning do such a thing!! Sifting through the diff history of that article, something very funky happened, and looks like you thinking I did it delibarately, which is a strange conclusion to come to (just look through my recent contribs for evidence). --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 01:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I couldn't tell what had happened, and I apologize if I don't know you well enough to characterize your contributions automatically. If you took offense, I'd like to say that none was intended; at worst I was being sarcastic, since anyone with a username should know that that's a no-no, and therefore doesn't require explanation. I didn't think you would take it seriously much, but again, I'm sorry if I offended you. I will be more considerate in the future... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Tetk leader
I added delete tags to this as I believed it to be a guild page, you removed them so I was obviously mistaken, can you explain my fault? <font color="Black">L' <font color="Maroon">yra <font color="Black">V' <font color="Maroon">alo  16:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a userpage. We don't allow guildpages in the mainspace, but your Userpage can have pretty much anything...within policy ofcourse. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
