  • Every day when I come to see if there is anything interesting on these forums I find about 5 threads where the main post is either revealing some information that, unknown to the poster, everyone already knows or a question that could be answered in one minute.

    So please,
    stop making threads when there is a simple answer. You do not need to make a thread to ask a simple question.

    Send someone a private message or ask it in game. Fun content that we can all enjoy is being sent to the second page and it is getting out of hand. This is not to say that all questions do not deserve a thread. Often there is need for discussion or clarification on the topic and I ask you all to use your best judgement in deciding whether or not to make a thread.


    tl;dr
    Less "What class should i roll next lolololol?", more "PVP music".


    Edit:
    As it seems to other people that making a thread is the only way for you to get help with a question if you are not on Aerie Peak, I offer my question answering services. Send me a PM, if I cannot answer your question, however unlikely that is, I will refer you to someone who I know will be able to answer your question as best as they can.

    On that note, I would also urge you to reroll on Aerie Peak. Better late than never is not so cliche as you might think. I dropped a near BiS character and never looked back.

    I would also like to apologize for my previous tone, I gave off the wrong impression and that is not me. The thread has been reworded. I would also like to ask that you take the thread as a "Let's clean up the forums a bit" thread rather than a "noobs gtfo" thread.

    I really do think there should be a "Questions" thread.
     
    There should be a stickied post as FAQ with a compilation of all Solvogero's usefull posts.
     
    Why are you guys blaming the people when they ask questions about f2p in the f2p forums and feel they are in some sort of community where they are feeling respected. Also alot people cant wisp others, this is not f2p AERIE PEAK forums.

    Think about what you are saying, its like gtfo nubs dont push our pro threads to the bottom. Is that really the attitude you want? Is that how you feel about beeing a community? You are just pushing new people away like this.

    I think its TI tho, not the people making these threads. A bit more moderation by removing such threads when they got answered after a few days sounds alot better. You cant stop this, this is a forum.

    Original post updated. In my past forum adventures, the best way I have seen questions handled is literally one thread. One person asks a question and some veteran pops in and answers it, simple questions simple answers. The threads was over 150 pages long during my stay on the forum.
     
    That's just how forums work, people are just going to ignore the questions thread and post their crap anyways. Would just be more work for the mods.

    I would never, ever sift through a 150-page thread to look for an answer to a question.

    The entire point of a forum is to talk about things, including asking questions. It is intended to be fluid and dynamic. It keeps things fresh by flushing out the old for the new.

    If you want things static and always in the same spot, that's what stickies & webpages are for.

    With the amount of threads that are getting posted, I imagine it wont leave the front page

    The point was not to sift through the thread, just to ask the question whether it had been answered before or 100 times before. The difference it makes is one question thread or 5 question threads on the front page.
     
    We don't enjoy it, it's just not likely to be stopped by a thread. People are lazy.

    Yeah we get good traffic on the forum. Why would you want people to stop making posts. Who cares if they are 'nub' questions, then you can answer them or ignore them.
