You and me both!

Reading a modern translation of Chaucer's Wife of Bath tale for speed purposes, and holy **** is this stuff funny. Seriously, if you ever want a good laugh, go look it up. She says terrible, terrible things about her older husbands and their lack of sexual prowess, as well as talking about how much she likes sex. It's awesome.

Holy Hell, stickies much?

I'm guessing this is impossible, but is there any way to bookmark the BDT such that it redirects me to the last red post? (meaning, like bookmarking the red arrow link?)

Because I REALLY don't want to have to scroll down every time I check out this thread...

And almost all the stickies are out of date anyway.........

This new system can work but they really need to cut out the dead wood urgently (and rename threads that don't mention what class they are about!).

Yeah I was thinking that too. Even though mine was listed "Shadow guide" I went back and edited it so it said Shadow Priest, just for clarification. Those of us who have been around for years know that any sticky by Anobix or Pold are going to be mage related, but we still get enough traffic that there's going to be plenty of people who don't know that.

Someone should make more guides. This forum seems to be lacking some stickies.

One of these days I'd like to make my own mage guide as well, but seeing how long it took me to get the shadow priest one done, I think I might wait until 4.3 comes out at least.

The problem is that writing and maintaining a guide is really purposeless now. There isn't enough traffic to warrant a guide to avoid obvious questions (nor are there many new players that unaware of things).

More importantly, Blizz's new system of weekly rotation changes (okay, exageration) makes writing and maintaining a guide way too annoying. And gear has been so simplified that you can generally answer non-trinket questions with "higher ilvl and your major stat? Use it."

And finally, elitistjerks or arenajunkies are going to have better guides than what is produced here, anyway (since our info tends to come from there). There are some classes there won't be guides for, yeah, but generally speaking those are few.

Note: I think that writing guides is still something worthy of praise. I just also think that the need for them is drastically lower--doesn't change my respect for the actual process, though.

I, with protein's help, kept up the druid guide until we realize no one cared and everyone just posted in this thread anyway.

Also WTF. The forum is all changed and I'm confused.

The issue with elitist jerks though, is that for newer players, their guides can often be confusing and overwhelming. There's too much information a lot of the times, and they also don't seem to be as welcoming of people asking questions.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Can you give me a for-instance?

And they are fine with questions, they just aren't okay with inane questions from people who haven't even tried to find the answer for themselves. And Zam doesn't exactly have a history of accepting those, either.

EJ does have a fast and dirty FAQ for new players that answers simple questions and is the place to ask simple questions.

The main spec threads do assume you have read the whole thread before asking stuff though.

EJ will ban your *** if you ask a question already indirectly asked, and even more indirectly answered, in a deleted reply to a banned poster at the bottom of page 12 in a 31-page thread.

Their guides are good, but holy crap are they not user friendly.

The infraction categories are hilarious, though. Someone asking someone else to help with the number crunching gets an infraction for asking to be hand-held. Smiley: lol Granted, they reverted that infraction later, but how daft was that admin in the first place?

EJ has super strict rules for a good reason, it keeps the quality of info on the site very high. And lets be honest, they do have JERKS right there in their name.


Also, you can get banned for answering stupid questions as well as asking them.

Well yeah, I'm not saying EJ isn't without value, I just think that guides that are a bit more relaxed have their place too.

New people to the thread must read the whole thing in order to post.
