I think you got the wrong thread... the Haiku contest is on a different page! :P

The GuildWarsWiki has a lot of collector information...
http://forum.photics.com/doku.php

But... since so few people add useful information to it, the list of collectors is obviously incomplete.

don't tell me, between me contributing and the last major patch, ANet updated the traders in the crystal desert. Now you can no longer collect the white and blue armor lvl60. For example the white leggins can now only be bought. the same goes for the collectors.

apart from that the wiki is in my opinion too narrowly defined. like in the wikipedia one should have the opportunity to write about the strangest of things. listing the real important items is good, but one does not need all collectors of kryta. we should rather have a guide on how speak to others, what is pulling, calling, nuking etc.
maybe I simply shut up now and start editing this beginning from the wiki startpage.

Actually... I'm not interested in that type of content. While all the collectors in Kryta might not be important... a complete skill list is. That is the PRIMARY objective of the Wiki. Also... end game collector information is also important. Everything else just takes away from that.

I did a definition of MMORPG terms in Issue #2... http://photics.com/articles.php?articleId=3
I did a follow-up in Issue #3... http://photics.com/articles.php?articleId=4

It seems players like an HTML version more... so I'm slowly converting my old content to HTML... and it will all be searchable from the main page. I wasn't going to do that for Issue #20... but I put up the last three bonus maps today...

In that endeavor your site does not differ from the many other sites. It's an ongoing quest to be the best site with the best elite skill listing, the best collector items and the best whatever. But sites like these are many, and let's face it, though they might not have a magazine as cool as photics, their content is pretty complete. (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/a...p/t-25802.html).
But by the time i got 150h of gameplay, I don't need a complete list of skills. I pretty much seen them all. Got them from quests, from skill traders, seen allies use them and searched for them, seen enemies use them and captured them (not just elites). You said in photics 20 yourself that the quest for all skills does not interest you. Since this seems to be the case for others here as well, it is no wonder the wiki remains incomplete. It was founded on a premise, that not enough of us feel is important.

One is identified and harrassed as noob, not because he doesn't know the skill location for Mist Form, or the collectors in the Shiverpeaks, it's all those other ideas people get about the game. And nobody is there to educate them about it. Beyond skill and collector listings (which are very complete) the fansites of Guildwars offer little help in telling people what the STATE OF GAMEPLAY is. Buy the game today and you can know everything about the world today. But teaching you how to play it right and not behave totally stupid is told you by nobody, no fan site, no manual. this you learn the hard way. Buying the game today and learning how to play it today, would make more sense and one could have far more fun exploring things.

you play diablo
alone just do what you want
but this teamplay is.
