smtips 5 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 I like this site. It's informative. It's my go-to site for wow. It's extremely helpful and has made WoW life a lot easier. Not so long ago you started using this TL;DR nonsense for your "Easy Mode" descriptions. To me, as an adult, it's simply lazy and nonsensical on an otherwise professional site with a lot of good people putting it together. In my opinion you should stop using it because it just depicts idiocy. The best description I can tell you about how I feel is this article: http://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2012/04/17/tldr-a-manifesto/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

positiv2 953 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 The tl;dr isn't meant for lazy people only. 1) If the reader is reading the guide through discord/skype, they certainly do not want to read the whole guide as it's simply too long. which could result in confusion. The tl;dr section, on the other hand, is a great tool for this case. 2) If the reader's level of english or reading skills is not satisfactory to be able to understand the guide, a short and concise summarisation is certainly welcome. 3) If the reader needs to quickly refresh their knowledge before raid (or whenever the reader is under time pressure), the tl;dr section is perfect for this. 4) If the reader is a raid leader, they sometimes need to be able to quickly explain what to do before the raid. However, some people are sadly not great with words, so the tl;dr section comes in handy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oxygen 446 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Is your point regarding the form (i.e. the very use of ''tl;dr'' as internet slang), or regarding the fact that we have quick-and-easy content as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
