Yes, of course someone is championing gilbuyer's rights on FFXIAH.
You advocated treating people like trash when they are accused of being gilbuyers. Targeted harassment campaigns are why this thread exists.
I'd like a cross server price section to combat Gadfather's price fixing.

Doesn't the most viewed simply count the number of times the page was loaded? So anyone refreshing their page a bunch of times to check sales gets on there easily. Maybe just adjust that for now until you decide on what to do with the space.

Are shouts even useful enough to have that big of a space? Whenever I glance at it, its just never ending job capacity point parties. On top of that, Latest Screenshots are often lagging behind quite a while or half of the thumbnails get overtaken by off-topic garbage.

On other servers it seems to be completely broken and is full of the random garbage characters that are typically only appended to the end of Asura messages.

Idk man the most important front page widgets to me are the rss feed and forum posts section to see what people are currently reeing about.
Voting for this too. It feels weird when the "Random Thoughts" post disappears, lol.

I could actually see dividing the bottom portion of the page vertically, with posts from FFXI boards on the left and other boards on the right.
Since shouts are basically useless now without them being filtered, it's probably a better use of space.

Perhaps a little redundant with the feed being there but current campaigns and time remaining countdown works for me.
That or a list tracking items whose sales history price vary wildly due to manipulation, server specific and overall.

I know nothing of the limitations but my #1 wish for this site would be a list of items ranked by highest number of gil transacted per day. E.g. (items sold per day) x (avg. cost of item), ranked and updated daily. My #2 wish would be a similar ranked list of biggest avg price decrease and/or increase on an item over 24 hours or a week - e.g. dynamis currency prices plummeted due to an easy ambuscade month, or heavy metal plates skyrocketed because there are no stacks left on the AH.
To me, this would be really useful information to see where trends are happening in the Auction House, when might be a good time to liquidate items, or to conversely use your gil to stock up for your next REMA, etc.

Take it easy on foxmulder. Gilbuyers burned down his village.

Not gonna lie, I have literally never heard Most Viewed referred to as anything other than an annoyance or superfluous.
Expanding/changing how the forum threads are linked is intriguing, and one that isn't a lot of work compared to some of the other ideas.
The various "State of the economy" ideas are all interesting, but are annoying from an architecture perspective for reasons I won't bore you with. Might be interesting enough to find a way anyway, though

Campaign timers are a good idea, I like the one on BG wiki

a list of "wanted" items for that server, since that feature is back. (Granted I imagine somebody could potentially abuse this, but /shrug).
I still argue for this, since well: It shouldn't be that hard to display data that is already there. Then again it as a feature to view a "wanted" page should probably exist anyway (if it does already then my b.)

Put a random post from eyeroll(Eiryl) every .4 seconds that he responds to any forum with his negative ***. At least that way we don't have to actually click on a post to see his thoughts.

It is mildly useful for pretending we care and trying to shame someone with views like it matters.
It's also mildly amusing when someone does something for attention, then gets it, and makes the top of the list like it matters.
I love making it to the top of most viewed, like morons, what the *** you think you're gonna find on my page?

lord there has to come a point where if someone is bothered or offended they leave the FREE SERVICE NO ONE IS MAKING THEM USE rather than *** and make more work for those providing the (one second, clearing my throat) FREE SERVICE.
Ignore 'em.

1) What should replace it? Butts.
In more seriousness: The various "State of the economy" ideas are all interesting, but are annoying from an architecture perspective for reasons I won't bore you with. Might be interesting enough to find a way anyway, though You could expand the "most viewed item" area and include three columns of info for their prices instead of just 1:
<Highest Price> ([servername]) | <Cookied Server Price> | <Lowest Price> ([servername])
That would be minimally different for what's already getting pulled as is with the most viewed item section.
Though obviously more dynamic than what's happening now. (though could partially remedy that by having high-low only registered weekly or some such)

Upvoting these two ideas:
- quick links to job specific guides
- a list of recruiting linkshells on your server
Both of those encourage forward progress in the community, which helps all of us

Ignore 'em. Same can be said for people who get upset because someone said something bad to them.

In addition to the job-specific guides, we could link to that 1-119 Quickstart guide on BGW.

Instead of having all the jobs guide from bg and the 119 guide from bg and the event timers like bg, people can just go to bg, namsayin?

Yeah, I don't understand adding more links to external sites, especially some that might already be linked on the sidebar and people don't realize it.

Whenever I glance at it, its just never ending job capacity point parties. it would be a great feature if it would filter those RMT shouts. the way it currently is one can only conclude the site is owned by those RMTs shouting. if it isn't FFXIAH should at least charge them for the premium advertisment banner.

Butts. i second that, if we talking female ones.
on a more serious note, how about a section listing the latest dumbshit ppl messaged a mod about?

What causes "most viewed players" to show up exactly? Is it people going to look up their name here?

I don't know, but I sometimes forget this site looks like valrum dunes at noon with how bright it is. This is how I see it.
A dark view option would be nice. It's even better for battery life and carbon footprint since it takes more power to make a screen bright AF. I think many sites kind of have a feature like that. (Or just get a dark viewer plugin for your browser, I suppose.
Hi.
I get more complaints about the Most Viewed section on the homepage than anything that's not P+R or its closure. It seems to be used pretty much purely for harassment. My questions to you are:
1) What should replace it?
2) If you think it should stay, why?
Thanks!
