It’s not my intention to evoke an emotional response or personal attack, so I will remain neutral in stating I have the right to point out what I see without having to fear it will upset anyone, which it shouldn’t.
There are portions of the wiki which are incredibly out of date. Some things even pre- or early Sorcery. I don’t wish this to devolve into a tit for tat “prove it” scenario, which I won’t do.
Such statements can be made without insulting the time or effort of contributors. Contributors can’t do everything perfectly, I don’t expect them to, I don’t hold them up to failure, I don’t hold them accountable. Who would I be to judge the efficacy of a wiki contributor when I don’t edit it myself. The idea my statement is a lie/insult is therefore unneeded here.
I would return to my original idea that if there was a more convenient API of some sort, the stress and expectations of the players to data mine files themselves would be relieved, and we wouldn’t have to hold everything to some generous peoples’ free time. Saying it would be nice for the devs to offer a more efficient means to data, does not equal diminishing the effort of those who do their best in the meantime.
