Talk:Equipment Scaling

Wiki information about scaled equipment
I've seen some information pop up on several pages lately, that states the scaled values for a piece of equipment on some random levels. After I removed it for being useless information, someone said that there's no better way to discuss sync'd equipment data than the respective article. Since it made little sense to argue on that item's talk page, I will post my reply here, since I think it's something that all of the wiki should agree on. I would like some input on these ideas (especially from mods or admins), so we can agree on what we're editing and stop spam and edit wars on tons of articles.

Anyway, here's my reply to the above:

Actually I think there is a way better place, a sub page. This way the same information is available w/o cluttering the article (the Trump Crown is a good example of a cluttered, hard to read, incomplete and inaccurate level sync information table). So far, nobody knows how the sync system really works, or what kinda equipment it syncs to (I know, there's theories, even good ones, but still nothing is proven yet), so all information there is right now is incomplete/inaccurate and thus not suiatble for the actual article. A sub page could be used to gather this information until the system behind level sync is figured out and verified, then we can eliminate this information altogether and replace it with a suitable calculator or something else that makes more sense than a 60+ rows long table with tons of data.

As it is now, it's not even clear if it syncs to the same stats on different jobs. If it's true that it always syncs down to another item with similar stats, it must first make sure that the current job can even wear that. If it syncs down to different items on different jobs, that would not only make such tables inaccurate, but plain wrong. Either way, the current information is not suitable for the actual article.

So what do other people think of that? In favor of a sub page? Or just leave information on the article? Or just remove it completely cause no one cares anyway? Let's hear it.. Zaphor 05:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
