Standard 01
Source the foundation
We use official Guild Wars 2 information where it is the best source for game facts, and we compare established community resources when evaluating builds, strategies, or practical approaches.
House of Dragonz standards
Editorial standards
These standards explain how we approach Guild Wars 2 builds, guides, factual game information, updates, and corrections across the archive.
Standard 02
Separate facts from recommendations
Game facts, unlock requirements, and system behavior are treated differently from build choices or practical recommendations. Recommendations are presented as context-dependent rather than universal rules.
Standard 03
Keep build intent clear
Every build should have an understandable role, game mode, and purpose. Gear, traits, utilities, and rotation guidance should support that purpose instead of mixing unrelated goals.
Standard 04
Review changing content
Guild Wars 2 changes over time. When balance patches, game systems, encounters, or unlock paths change, affected pages should be reviewed and updated rather than left to imply permanent accuracy.
Standard 05
Correct mistakes
If a factual error, outdated instruction, or broken recommendation is identified, the goal is to correct the page rather than defend the old version. Community feedback is welcome through the House of Dragonz Discord.
Standard 06
Avoid artificial rankings
We do not treat a single benchmark number as the only measure of a useful build. Real encounter performance, role reliability, survivability, utility, and execution difficulty can all matter.
Common reference points
Where we check information
Depending on the topic, we may consult the official Guild Wars 2 website and wiki alongside established community resources such as Snow Crows and Hardstuck. Sources are used as reference points, not as a substitute for explaining the material in our own archive.
