Guilds who refuse to post their builds are pussies.

You can call a guild that but why give your opponent your gameplan? You might as well tell them the counters to your team build while you are at it.

As far as the observer mode, I am concerned about spying. I wonder how Anet will counter it.

I don't claim that it's a good site or a well designed site or even a site with a good, intuitive interface (no offence to the owner: I offered advice on how to improve it, and he did a poor job at it). It just exists.

I'm working on my own version that doesn't suck... but working full time seriously cuts down on the time I have to spend on it. I have it at about 25% complete, but if you're interested drop me a pm/email and I can set you up an account manually (account management/registration barely exists).

The suggestions you mentioned were on the below link:

http://www.gwkb.org/viewtopic.php?t=113

I made some responses, and improvements in various areas. I suspect by the lack of a response to my questions posed you have not viewed it in quite some time. I do appreciate the feedback already given.

It's listed on the Fansite listings on www.guildwars.com, on GWG, and TGH. I'm somewhat content to let it grow at a natural pace. As a result, the quality of builds and comments are generally much better. At this point, I've very near having 200 builds, but of course some of those are Guild Only or Private (Personal) for those who deemed it that way when they created the build.

Of course, I'm always looking for ways to further improve the site.

I know half the time I work out a build, I immediately come up with a build to counter it. It helps me know how best to deal with the vulnerabilities of each build. So, I suspect they are already aware of their weaknesses, and can deal with it to some degree. Also, it certainly does no harm for a guild to post an old build they have moved on from, which I suspect is the case.

If there are some, I don't understand why they do it. Not a good strategy imo.

Follow the links chief. See for yourself how many of the top guilds that posted in-depth builds there, including how to run them. They do it for the good of the PvP community. All of the top guilds know what each other run anyway, so mostly it's to help people struggling to get into higher level PvP.

Yes, a few do. Like Final Dentisty or SNA. But notice it's all preupdate or "this is what we used to use" type stuff.

Before it was all for fun, but this time there is a prize for winning the ladder. Nobody at the top is gonna talk about their current builds unless they dont care about winning.

He insisted on charging me half that price even when the other c/o was $650.... I hate you oh so much....

EDIT: SH1t! even my designs arent that bad man... Ever considered eatin sionide?

I hate when young teens try to use words they can't spell.

I'm just wondering how all these 15 year olds have 500 dollars to spend on a website.

GW has no monthly fees! Duh!

I really, really like the host I'm using; LunarPages. I've received awesome support, uptime, and currently 100GB traffic/month for just under $9/mo.

All honestly, I have been a website designer/critic for years and that is considered a generic template. Not orignal, not worth money. Don't take it to heart though, not saying you suck or anything. Nothing special.

And there are plenty of builds on this site as well as public Guild websites. Mind you, just because a guild isn't top ranked, doesn't mean it doesn't have A+ builds

And use www.wirenine.com
