<br><br>The conclusion I came to was that the leveling guide in its current form only presents a limited range of leveling options, mostly focused on dungeon grinding and assuming you can obtain tinkered gear from guildmates and/or want to use a buff bot instead of being self-sufficient.
<br><br>In my opinion, the wiki as a whole should remain neutral on its opinions on various play styles, as long as they are within Turbine's guidelines in the ToS and CoC. Which means the fast paced, uber equipped dungeon grinding route of leveling should not be presented as <u>the</u> leveling guide, but rather <i>a</i> leveling guide.
<br><br>I also believe that while the wiki should remain neutral, players should be free to share their ideas on how to level - or for that matter how do do anything else. We had had a similar discussion earlier regarding personal pages like fan fiction and various player's opinions on colosseum guides. The conclusion of that discussion was that completely personal pages (fan fiction, comics, etc) should be placed under the user's user page (e.g. [[User:An Adventurer/Fiction/Character Back-stories]], [[User:Connorthecraftmaster/Connor's Adventures in Dereth]]) while player's opinions on general game strategy and such could remain in the main namespace, with the author's name added (e.g. [[An Adventurer's Role-Playing Guide]], [[Tlosk's Colosseum Walkthrough]])
<br><br>This is what I feel should happen to the Leveling Guide page:
 
* The current content should be moved to a player guide page if possible, probably [[Taomagicdragon's Leveling Guide]], since he is credited as posting some of the initial info. Other players should feel free to write their own leveling guides named in the same fashion.
 
* The [[Leveling Guide]] page should have links to all the various player opinion leveling guides.
 
* The [[Leveling Guide]] page should only contain a guide if it remains neutral and presents many viewpoints. I started work on this at [[User:An_Adventurer/Sandbox_3#Leveling_Guide]]. If the 'official' guide cannot remain neutral, it should be removed and only links to player opinion guides should be presented.
