PvXwiki talk:Rating Based on Types and Goals

True build Rating

Yes, I'm aware that this concept is in some ways similar to the concept "True build rating". But because these 2 templates do have another way to work with "attributes", I decided to start this one anyway.

Note: this idea is by no means copied from that policy... --SuiraCLAW 19:54, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Um complicated as hell? And I really don't see the point of this... Readem (talk*contribs) 01:04, 9 May 2007 (CEST)

The point is to make a rating that is actually based on the build and not on the personal opinion of the people who vote (offcourse, the latter would still be in play, just to a lesser degree). Anyway, I added a small, no-nonsense lists that shows exactly how voting would work. That should make some stuff clear. --SuiraCLAW 15:26, 9 May 2007 (CEST)

*sigh* love and understanding people, our objective is trying to get something to work here, not unfavoring every single proposed policy... -- Nova -- (contribs) 01:56, 9 May 2007 (CEST)

It's quite a good idea to try and get all the builds to be as good as they can be, but some original builds are just not functional no matter how much work is done on them and there needs to be a way to decide on whether a build is it isn't. Voting back on GuildWiki was always based on the build's purpose anyway, and while the build might fulfill it's purpose it may not be necessary. It was always a big debate at GuildWiki over whether builds should be favoured because they work even if they can be done better by another profession or are not really needed in the area they are meant for (e.g. a team spike build in general PvE). Either way it didn't work there and chances are it won't work here. Also, the list of play styles is nowhere near comprehensive enough at the moment and would be too huge if it covered everything. — Hyperion` // talk 15:54, 9 May 2007 (CEST)
