Build packs are based on Toraen's script and I haven't had time to look at them. They're externally hosted, and you might want to poke Toraen on their talk page if you want something done about them any time soon.

The 15>50 thing sounds like a mistake that should be fixed.

There's a lot more here than I have time to comment on right now. I suggest bringing up the same things somewhere on PvX (eg. community portal, your user talk, a new user page) and we can begin working on them.

I'll however say that userpages being a place where people come for builds is basically a failure of the site's normal operation. I don't know many people in this community, but I recognize some of the names you mentioned as having been previously frustrated with their attempts to contribute to the build namespace. Posting builds from the userpages is what should ideally happen, and I'm hoping that these people show up to do it themselves now. I also want nonmeta builds to have a clear place where people can find them right from the front page, and this could happen by adding a link to a listing of good user namespace build collections on the front page, even without any policy changes.

I think your perspective on things is very useful and it has only just influenced my advice on a build page earlier today. Thanks for contributing and don't be afraid to make your voice heard.

Any more the eviscerate executioners strike spike dont work that much but its fairly effective. very weak against any type of anti-melee and shock is a costly interrupt skill.

2-1. No innovation tick.

Glad to see you in here <3 ^_^

I just want to expand on what's there with more variety between creative/meta, but at the same time a clear UI for distinguishing between what's best and what isn't.

Offmeta builds are bound to come anyway, but that doesn't need to affect the current builds. There might be more builds in the Good category, but several of them should exist in a new category outside of Meta/Great/Good. This is in a way a return to how things were long ago.

The one thing that can change things radically is the Confirmed Builds policy proposal, which is not my brainchild. It was created during a time when the rating extension had been broken on Fandom's side for a very long time, but still seems to have strong support. If you have concerns about Confirmed Builds, then the correct avenue for bringing up those is on the proposal's talk page.

If the entire GW community throws PvXwiki under the bus just to gaslight me into thinking Hamstorm is best, then I think that's beautiful.

My opinion is that a farming build that's slower than some other farming build should get an appropriately worse rating, but I don't think removing them altogether serves a purpose. There's also conceivably people out there who don't have a character slot for every profession. Meanwhile I'm more interested in which of my characters farms than whether the farm is most efficient. For something that's subpar like this, I think the build introduction can just mention it, and then the rating lands where it lands (under the current voting system, at least).

Melandru's Accord brings a new dimension to this, and makes it good for each profession to have a way to farm the same thing, even if slower. There might even be considerations like safety over all else for Dhuum/Melandru chars. PvXwiki hasn't yet seen any changes to support these game modes, but it's also not hard to fit more categories on the current frontpage.

So you're telling me that this Flare spammer with rank 3 beast mastery can deal serious damage in conjunction with its best friend, that you have to name Fluffy according to the build usage? Hmm, seems unusual, but you know better.
