Guild Wars 2

When I come to the forums I check the News/Announcements, General, my chosen Profession(s), and maybe specialized forums like crafting or PvP if I have a specific thing to look up.

Moderators have been moving questions from all sub forums to this forum, not just those found in General. I posted a thread in the Structured PvP forum asking about copper vs gold PvP chests. Why would a thread as specific as that be moved out of the forum where I am most likely to get an answer, to a forum which is nothing but a hodgepodge of unorganized questions?

Needless to say, the thread got no replies after the move.

I never come to the Players helping Players forum because there is no organization whatsoever, it’s just a mess of whatever people have questions about. I believe this is the fault of the moderators, who are moving any thread with a question mark to these forums in an attempt to keep other forums clean. If someone asks a question about PvP in the General forum, why move it here? Why not move it to the PvP forum where it would be more likely to be read by people with the answers? If I ask about crafting in general, why am I redirected to Players helping Players instead of the crafting subforum, where, again, I’m more likely to actually get an answer?

This forum serves no purpose but as a dumping ground for threads unwanted in General. I don’t really want to post threads anymore because of how many get dumped here, when this is NOT the place to find answers.

What is your question. I have always gotten an answer within 5 minutes of posting here.

I agree with you that questions that have a specific sub-forum should be left in that sub-forum, although I don’t agree with you that this forum (Players helping Players – just in case we get moved to suggestions) is useless.

Questions that don’t fit anywhere else, like “how do I make money?” should be moved here, but if you are asking a question about structured PvP in the structured PvP forum, it doesn’t make sense to move it.

I have not noticed them moving threads to a less relevant sub-forum at all. I have noticed it to be the other way around.

Got an example of a thread they moved to a less relevant section?

The thread in question is one which I answered for you last night. It was likely moved because it would be of help to others here while a basic question like that will havw next to know use to those people discussing other topics in the Spvp forum. It really isnt an insult or some kind of demltion of your thread… it is simply puttijng it where it will be most helpfull and best answered.

I may not have been perfectly clear before. The players helping players forum as an idea isn’t a bad one.

It’s the moderators moving threads that are in the correct sub forum into php which is filling it with a bunch of unorganized threads, effectively destroying the organized nature of the forums they’re trying to promote.

The example I gave was a thread I created yesterday which was a question about sPvP and specifically, if it was better to buy five copper chests at 200 glory each or one gold chest for 1000 glory. It was moved from the sPvP section where I posted it, to here. Why? The PvP forum is the best place for PvP questions, while how do I earn money, as a general question, is better suited for here (as noted by another poster).

I hope that makes my stance a bit clearer. I am not against players helping players, I am saying that moving all threads of an inquisitive nature here is not good.
