April 2022 FINAL FANTASY XI Digest

[Sfchakan]

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.
