Made a classic EQ leveling guide
 
Hi, last week I made a plat guide for classic EQ / p99. This week I wrote a P99 / Classic EQ leveling guide. Any suggestions and feedback welcome. Going to keep updating it.

Not a big fan of hosting wiki forum info on another website for your own financial gain.

Really bad leveling guide, somehow even worse than your really bad plat farming guide.

homeboy you gotta stop copying free wiki content from others for ad revenue. if it's your work that requests you do it then start applying elsewhere. super shitty move. guide needs work.

Atrocious.

The liberal use of a dictionary or spell check wouldn't hurt your "guide". It is decently dreadful. It is less guide and more random smattering of information. 0/10 would not click again.

The funny part to me is that I've done websites: I know how little online advertisers pay when you're hosting your own site, and this guy isn't even doing that: he's got a middle man. So for him to make even $10 off all this effort (and clearly rewriting all that wiki content must have taken him some time), I'd imagine it will take years.

And then you have to consider that most advertisers only pay you when you reach a certain minimum threshold, say $50, and taking that into account I rather doubt this guy will ever see a single check from this exercise.

But on the plus side, despite all the (very valid) criticism, I still think there's something to be said for new approaches to guides: it's just too bad this guy is all about the $$$ and not trying to help the community.
