Just cause you pick something doesn't mean you like it. Vice versa too. If you don't pick something it might be some reason besides you don't like it. If I only played rangers I'd never pick scavenger but it's a very useful subguild for people who play other main guilds. I'm glad they asked the playerbase instead of just going by what they see in on the data. Data just says "you picked these, and not those." It doesn't say why.

Could have been worded better, imo. They seem to be making an effort, if this keeps up, they may get better at it. Just so. Kudos to whichever staff are advancing this cause, including Adhira. It's an overhaul that's long overdue, and potentially could have a real impact on a wide variety of PCs, as well as facilitating archetypes that can be quite difficult to codedly generate given the current state of the game (barring special apps). As to the method of gathering data... does anyone knowledgeable about char gen code want to chime in here? Can they really just look at what all past and present characters are, guild/subguild-wise? My Diku ignorance is showing. Not sure if it'd be as easy as just grepping the character files. |

They answered that here: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,50126.msg912379.html#msg912379. And besides the information gathered with that method would take a lot more time and effort than simply asking the playerbase and extrapolating from there. |

I've got to agree with everything on there that's been said. Tinker is worthless, and so is Guard. I would know, having played Warrior / Guard as my impeccable choice, along with such great choices as Ranger / Hunter and Merchant / House Servant.
If we could do a pick and pull (yee-haw), it'd be much better. But that won't be allowed because staff want to continue controlling the game's meta.
