Curse

This is one for WAY down on the list (still hoping vendor, chat system, henchman AI top the list in the next builds), but if you don't get XP for killing something how about have it not agro unless it is attacked? I wouldn't mind exploring the game more if I didn't have to wade through a bunch of crap that doesn't give any XP or usable loot.

Again a suggestion for the "nice to have" list.

Please use http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/search.php? first, there are many many threads about agro and xp from lower level enemies.

I bet 99% of the suggestion messages posted could have "you should search" attributed to them. I am sure some care, but I really don't care if someone creates a new thread or bumps an old one. Either way it is nice to get the conversation flowing.

Well let me put it like this, if you have your own webhosting with limited space and people randomly start new threads taking more space on your webhosting and you run into space problems. This also causes more load on the MySQL server. Would you not want people to use search first?

It's really not so hard to use the search function, as I'm sure you'll get used to it.

First, yes I do in fact have my own forums and they are very popular with over 10,000 user registrations. A single post takes up about 1500 bytes more than a reply which is pretty inconsequential and takes about 0.00000000001% SQL CPU time if that to process since it is all in the same join anyway... and before you go to the next level of explaining to me how I am wrong about that... I am a DBA and I do know how it works better than most.

Second, you should look up the word random in the dictionary. There was nothing random about my post. If anything it was redundant, which is pretty much an antithesis to random. Now there are some medium sized words in there, but since you are a search expert I don't think you will have any trouble finding them at dictionary.com.
