I can appreciate what you are trying to say. But to be blunt, this is an "audience participation" game. What is the fun of running off to Wiki for all the answers? No one wants to do that, and forcing them to do it destroys the spirit of the whole thing. Part of the fun is asking questions and giving answers. If someone asks a question that's been asked before and you don't feel like answering again, let someone else do it. I for one LOVE helping new people, instead of making them feel unwelcome by shipping them off to some lonely site. People tried to do that to me when I started to play Guild Wars. Any time I tried to interact with others by asking a question, they would always direct me to the Guild Wiki instead of PARTICIPATING and helping with an answer. If you put everything in the WIki and send everyone there for answers, what then is there left to talk about? I seriously think we need to re-evaluate this issue because a wiki is there as a resource, not the be all and end all of the game, and should NEVER be used to negate ANY form of participation.

That's Deborah!

And we do have a thread that's stuck on the first page for questions and answers, where the rule is that there's no dumb question. This is different. This is people posting 'discoveries' before bothering to read their same discovery being an old discussion that's sitting right there on the first page. If you want to be part of this, you should take a little time to find out about what is this.

At this point, I think it might be worth trotting out a reminder of the unfiction Terms Of Service
I'll quote a bit here, note the emphasis is in the original, not added by me.

For the record, I NEVER condoned breaking rules EVER.

What I said is that everyone is jumping ridiculously overboard with some of it. We are here to have fun. Don't put a straight jacket on everyone. If someone posts a thread about something that's already been mentioned and someone else has to freak out over it (freak out = draw attention to it), there are therapy classes for that sort of thing. If someone just HAS to make a stink and feels it their personal moral obligation to correct someone for infringement of the holy rules, have some respect and send them a private message WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THEY WERE BEING DISRESPECTFUL. It is generally a given that people are not trying to intentionally break rules. Further more, correcting other users for rules violations is the duty of the moderator not the users. Pick your battles wisely and learn when and when not to make an issue of something. The final point: just chill the heck out. No one is being hurt here, no one is affecting your paycheck.
