April 2022 FINAL FANTASY XI Digest

[Immortal]

Once again you add new gear that enhances spells for RDM and oither jobs that are constantly showered with cool unique buffs... Why cant BLU get anything to enhance blue magic? We are tired of casting the same buffs every 60s, some duration+ and additional potency+ gear plz

If you are going to add new zone/s, please post some teaser images. There is no reason not to do this.

I feel like we're long overdue on some teasers.

The problem with BG is that there are a few people who edit things to directly benefit themselves, wiki has far less of that and it's far more trustworthy.

The most notable examples of this are "errors" on hq tiers for subs or things like that.

Having said that for most things BGwiki is still amazing, but I have no doubt that if it was the only wiki that existed it would become less and less accurate every day.

I don't know where you are getting this assumption from, but it's absolutely false.

Every day's changes are audited by multiple people. Over a dozen contributors watch the edits. Sometimes they'll make small adjustments on top of what's been changed for accuracy or grammar.

But to throw other nonsense in there, like "GE has viruses" or whatever, as I said, any website can be compromised- so that's just an unfair smear. Their focus has shifted to gaming news and reviews though. I write game reviews for them and despite appearances, we're all generally a decent bunch of people. So: again: People can go wherever they want, and that's fine. but to make up crap like we host viruses, well that's libel and simply not true.

No one said they were serving viruses. They simply lost data due to a ransomware attack and didn't care enough to have a backup of the FFXI wiki to restore it from. Their priorities had shifted, is all.

Without getting involved with the rest of the shenanigans here about wikis or injecting opinions upon deaf ears. I will say that the quoted about BG is absolutely false, and any issues found should either be fixed by yourself or reported via the many various avenues that exist so that it may be corrected.

Seeing as that I have also taken it upon myself to watch the recent edits page for years. There are more than a few people who edit. This number has grown over the years, and BG is in a far better position and health and any other resource. This will likely only continue to be the case as time goes on. This is to say BG has and is improving while arguably no other resource is.

BG is not a partisan source. It is the single best community resource and it took many years, hands, and countless hours of sacrifice to forge such.

Sub craft is wrong on BGwiki for Skeleton keys, needs to be updated as it impacts HQ tiers.

Okay, and that minute detail is enough to go around citing that there is a malicious conspiracy of self-enrichment on behalf of an entire site?

What should the sub craft be? Byrthnoth personally placed the subcraft level for this item on BG. Byrth is an individual who doesn't just go around changing things without testing and evidence.

I noticed a few little things like this, that was the one that stuck in my head. If it's 34 (consensus) and it's shown as 31 that's kind of a big deal to HQ rates on such a heavily crafted item.

Regardless, yes i should not of posted that in the way I did.

I still have a bit of a latent negative view of BGwiki from association with BGforums I guess, so that linked with not really knowing how/who edits and keeps it updated as well as it being a kind of off the cuff post I made while watching a youtube video meant it came across very insulting to people who put time and effort into it.

Deleted the post, apologies.
