There's not much use for a guide overview if it's simply listing all the guides you can see in the Guide forum in one page.
It's one page now, but there could be more in the future.
To be blunt, having the guide only omit one irrelevant guide mean it's taking up space in the page, making the REAL index more cluttered than it needs to be.
One important thing about this index is that it categorizes the guides and describes them. It's there to help players find what they want quickly.
Could this be pared down to the essentials, the REALLY good ones?
This would lead to arguing about which guides are good, which ones aren't, etc. We're here to help people out, not upset them by saying that their guide isn't good enough to be listed.
Better yet, couldn't this just link to pages on the wiki with these guides posted there and freely editable by the community at large?
If any guide writers wish to put their guides on the wiki, then that's their decision to make.
These guides will eventually be out of date, soon given the rate at which this game is patched. Having a stickied index that simply lists everything without even shrinking it down into an easier-to-read table AND points to outdated guides is going to spread more misinformation than anything.
Sure, they'll go out of date. I think we should probably put a note in each guide saying "to date as of 1.1.x", and update anything that needs to be fixed. As for non-English guides (the wikis, I presume), we'll just have to work on keeping those up to date (except for the French one, which I still haven't begun working on, lazy me).
