By all means, go ahead and write one up. It should help us greatly, since as of right now there is no real work being done for the new ASW mechanics. Please do head over to the KC subreddit and have a look too, mayhap our partners from over there has something to aid you in your cause.

Most of those rants are rooted in actual frustrations, which I aim to address, starting with this layout proposal, among others. One step at a time. And well, trolls are just trolls, you can't really stop them because this is the internet, the only way to deal with them is to ignore them, otherwise we'd have to lock down pages, comments etc. that would be detrimental to the wikia as a whole. Indeed, spotting problems and mending them ASAP is a priority, and I undertake it on a personal level, since most of our staffers are reluctant, pre-occupied or at times, genuinely lazy. Progeusz has always been vocal about the wikia, a bit sharp tongued, but they do make a very valid point about the mismanagement and bad decisions on behalf of our staff prior to myself joining and taking the helm. So far it seems they are satisfied with the direction this is all going.

The people who keep asking on chat are a natural phenomena. The wikia is complex and often times badly organized or otherwise chaotic, such as the original Combat pages. It is understandable they get confused and come and ask us. To genuine cases like these I think it is only polite to answer to them. However, as I previously stated, there are lazy people unwilling to do anything on their own and would rather use the chatroom meant for social interactions as their personal FAQ and info desk. That is just plain lazy and rude. Currently our only solution are the various Forum threads. But since the comments section is so conveniently at hand, people tend to go for it first instead. The only way to preserve their vital content is to have someone actively going around them and pinning the information in them somewhere. Say for example, someone spots a rare drop on a node that is yet to be added to the drop table, another user, such as you or myself can then add that information into the drop tables of that map. Simple as that.

Kek, well. We're not of the highest authority, but I do command quite a good deal of respect among my peers and superiors around the wikia. A respect that I do not take lightly. Still, I am not without critics, since I am told I am too much of an idealist. In anycase, I hope you can have an in-depth look into the new ASW mechanics prior to the event. I'll put in a good word for you amongst the staffers and we'll see how to proceed from there on.
