Common sense
Agreeing with bob
At least put some personal input in. Anyone who visits an npc in this game would know this.

These guides arent guides
These guides are actually less informative than simply reading either of the wikis available for the game.

These aren't guides, these are more like re-hashing what's in the game manual.

Try again with actually giving a build example instead of re-writing the manual!
