An early surprise classlead round is now open!

Just to note, this isn't part of the normal itinerary that we usually do, however both myself and Ictinus think it would be good to let you all voice any ideas/thoughts you may have that need addressing. As such, we will be allowing three reports per a person instead of the usual one.

In addition, we are going to trial anonymous report submissions for this round too. Readers will not be able to tell who submitted a report when viewing new reports made this round. Unfortunately this also means I've had to remove all unsubmitted reports, just so no one can connect the dots. Please send a message to Nalus if you desperately need that information again. Archived reports will remain as they are.

Lastly, please try and keep your reports related to classes and skills for this round. Other inquiries should use their relevant systems instead (such as orgreqs).

Information for classleads:

Submissions will be open for TWO WEEKS in which you will to submit THREE reports in for consideration. Once this time frame is up, there will be THREE DAYS to vote before we will start posting decisions. You can still vote early as per normal, but the extra three days will be there to avoid the feeling of late reports purposefully being submitted to be snuck through near the end.

For this round, you will not be able to submit classlead reports for both Luminary and Indorani, due to their upcoming mirror status.

If you're new, continue on below for more information on classleads. If you're old, please read HELP CLASSLEAD GUIDELINES at the very least.

What are classleads:

Classleads are a two week period that allows players to submit reports about their class (or other classes) for review by the administration. Struggling to land that finishing blow as a Zealot? Then this is what you've been waiting for!

Make sure to read through HELP CLASSLEADS to learn the commands needed to make and submit your reports, and I also highly recommend HELP CLASSLEAD GUIDELINES to help avoid common potholes when creating your submissions.

If you want to keep track of submissions and results, have a look at CONFIG CLASSLEADS and consider turning it on.

Details on submission:

* Newly created reports will be marked as anonymous, your name as a submitter will not be revealed to others.

* You may submit up to a total of three reports across the skillsets of the game to suggest combat balance adjustments, new features, or quality of life upgrades. Please note that this limit is based across all characters you own.

* Reports that are based on skills you do not possess will be much more heavily scrutinized, so make sure they are top-notch before submission.

* While you must provide reasonable solutions to your report's problem, we may opt for a fourth solution instead based upon feedback.

* Once a report is submitted, -anyone- may vote upon its merit using the CLASSLEAD <#> SUPPORT/REJECT <reason> commands. If you wish to support/reject a report, please provide your reasoning and make sure to point out any shortcomings or additions you feel might be necessary. You may also simply leave a comment using CLASSLEAD <#> COMMENT <reason>, if you wish for a more neutral approach.

* Any commentary which basically boils down to 'I agree with my bud' or 'This is a terrible idea' will automatically be discarded, and will you hurt your chances at passing through reports in future rounds, perhaps even resulting in loss of ability to submit at all. If you can consistently provide level-headed thought and in depth knowledge then your opinions will be valued more highly over others, and could result in extra submissions.

* You can use REPORTS ABSTAINED and REPORTS UNCOMMENTED to find submitted reports you have not voted upon or commented.
