I suggest you guys work on the Wiki, it's terrible. Missing information everywhere.

I forgot that was even there, I use ffxiv-db.com and ffxiv.yg.com

I don't even think this one has been updated since a month after release

ffxiv-db.com is current but stil missing a few things

ffxiv.yg.com hasn't been updated since patch 1.17 I think but it has lotsa stuff

You do know what a wiki is, right? You as a user can contribute as well. It's not something that's only staffed by a select group.

The Wiki was maintained by those who no longer play the game, it wasn't something people got paid to do, and considering the vast, sweeping changes that will be made to the game, I'm not sure what incentive those original members may have to add to something that may very well not exist in the coming months.

Maybe something like, "How can we help the Wiki?", or "Is there a reason it's not being updated?" may yield a more positive reply though.

Mabye he just didnt understand its all user driven. It would be easy to just copy paste the info from thoose other sites if someone wanted to do it. I dont get paid to do so tho, If i got money from some of the advertizments i would indeed. lol Thats how sites like this work tho bud by the users if you want it better have to make it so this site really is just made popular by the ppl. If not for ppl posting or adding content it would just be scripted update feed andmod post. Tho if thats all it was i doubt ppl would come here and thus no ads = no money so the site probally wouldnt last. Sites like this depend on ppl.
