    This is strange, I could have sworn that this thread was about the level 95 limit break quest, not the validity of information found on wiki/bg etc.

    Please take this to a new thread designated to your validity theories, and let the moderators delete the last ~3 pages of posts that are completely irrelevant to the OP. But tbh once a mod gets hold of this thread they'll likely heave a big sigh and just lock it rather than edit all of the posts de-railing it.

    We're such naughty plagiarizers? Oh wait, we uploaded it first, cited the source, and I personally got permission from him via a PM on BG. The GE uploader misspells "spawns" and doesn't cite anyone. Par for the course.

    I didn't even have to go looking for that. I saw it when I was reading this.

    Wow... totally off-topic on the thread.

    Take the pissing contest someplace else please. 99.9% of players don't care if information originated from BG or not, all they care about is when they go look something up they can find the information, whether it the first wiki it was posted on was BG wiki, GE wiki or wikia.

    If you care so much about keeping information from being stolen off BG Wiki then add a paywall. That's helped many many newspapers who've tried it block people from "stealing" their content for blogs and such as well. And since BG Wiki has such a tiny percentage of the player base using it, they probably won't see any impact.

    Now can we keep this thread on topic?

I also see that you posted in the augment thread on BG you wonderful pair of byakko maybe hping that someone wouls confort you in your bad gear choices. It means you don't know how to gear your monk, and are mad when called on it.
    lets break it down . Below avg gear out of all the gear sets i posted they found 1 arguably 3 diffrent choces < Heafoc / Beir+1 and Byakkos as disputable slots. all listed possible changes to those gear sets are items i have.

    Spammed synergy 1/10 is spam? and i my post i noted that they wernt as good for monk as i had hope'd its not like im gonna cry a river because usu legs are still great for ws *ive had them long before abyssea was out*.

    "I only called you on the gear you wanted to show in that thread, acting like it's allmighty when it's actually below average"
    ive yet to see you post your wondrous gear sets pchan. you can claim all you like that my chakra set that has ever single piece of HQ vit+ in the game is below avg , or my eva set or damn near max PDT or capped MDT sets are below avg all day long , did i ever say my sets were perfect? nope but is a hellva lot better then 90% of what most bandwagon monks are working with.

    all of this is completely off topic as you only posted because you were but hurt about other people making fun of your anti bg bawling

    Well, here it is, I'm wrong.

    It is possible that the OP is right, although still subject to change, and it is possible, however unlikely, that the player will need to get a Dhalmal Saliva to break cap.

    I'm not wrong when I state that BG is semi-informative, because an informative website wouldn't have all of that idiotic dribble that BG has. The ratio of informative to non-informative dribble that website has is about (estimation) 1:500 posts. You can not say with a straight face that BG is informative at all.

    I don't even trust BG wiki because most of that website was a complete copy of Gamer Escape and the original wiki. The only thing that people have added were the mathy parts of minor issues. I trust GE more than I trust BG for current and accurate information.

    Also, mods really should start banning people for inappropriate use of the tags, like they said in the ToS that they would.
    Probably been said, but even if most of it is dribble, it's the only real place to get solid math information and is almost always reliable for .dat mines.

    There's something to be said about a place where "elitists" gather, and it's probably that it's the place where you go to find out how to be "elite." Meaning it has the best top of the line information. Maybe not for the casuals, but I wouldn't suggest anywhere else for the hardcore players.

    Like I previously stated. BG and to the extent BG wiki is a great place to verify some mathematical aspects of this game (fSTR and dDIF and the such) but it is a copy of wiki as a whole when it comes to missions, quests, battlefields, and content. In other words, 90% of the game as a whole, BG and wiki doesn't differ. Although, you do get some useless information compared to others and historical sources. Strange that people are still back BG when most of BG's threads consist of utter garbage as creditable sources.

    BG is good for one thing, and anything after that, it is completely worthless.

    Edit: Don't get me wrong, elitists should stay in there, by all means. It is when they come to other forums to start spouting that they are greater than anything and, in essence, become the next Dallas, while people are backing them up because they can't think for themselves and let the so-called elitists from BG think for them, that is when problems occur.

    Sorry Korpg, I've been updating pages in the order that I think is useful for the people that I perceive visit BGwiki. If you want to start using it and really want to know what DOT means, PM me and I'll write the page for you.

    Instead I've been doing things like this or that. The test server is great.

    Really? You're gonna point to threads in Media as your evidence that BG isn't informative? Conveniently ignoring all of Advanced. Real classy.

    Who is getting hurt from this? Who is profiting from either source of information? Are you going to write a term paper over this and are hoping you don't get into trouble because the source you used this information from could be from a different source?

    Besides, I don't see anyone claiming on GE's website as their own. You have to understand the whole definition of plagiarism before you accuse anyone of doing so.

    But thanks for implying that I accused you of plagiarism though, even on that other website that you love to reference without actually looking.

    Advanced subsection of the forum is mainly an advertisement for 3rd party software and personal achievements, not really much in the informational side of life, while media is complete drama. While there are some gems of knowledge in the advanced side, they are few and far between to be considered an informative subsection of the forum, and is swallowed up by self-gloating and ramblings of children.

    So yeah, I stand behind my words in this case.
