User blog comment:D.Ryan/Is the BioShock Wiki behind in the world? III/@comment-1330314-20111020223633/@comment-2250991-20111021045000

Willbachbakal makes a valid point. Like what's been said before from the previous blog, we have one of the most staunch Wikis in being as complete and accurate as possible, and the least we need are more gimmicks. If you notice some of these sites that have these glorified gimmicks, their articles look half complete and filled with grammar and run-off sentence problems. Its bad enough that every site needs to be Facebook, but its just as annoying for then to use an "achievement/trophy" badge system, all because its trying to trend with consoles, and its a poor excuse to get a younger crowd interested in their sites. A video game-based Wiki already attracts a young crowd, wether its BioShock, Halo, GOW, or the Batman:Arkham games, so a badge system just seems inferior. And what's the point of having them? They're not as rewarding as they're made out to be, you can't exchange them for anything useful, and unlike the badge system on consoles, bragging about earning them on a site just seems lame. Plus, like Willbachbakal mentioned, it'll just cause prestige wars by achievement hunters. BioShock Wiki delivers accurate information to its content, which is more ahead in the world than conforming to a Social Network's trendy app.
