With the new effigies there have been lots of threads popping up in H&A asking for effigy assists. I think a sticky in H&A for skill assists would do nicely to reduce spam and make finding assists easier.

I have noticed a large amount of assist requests and I wouldn't mind it getting a sticky, but people are always best served asking on populated worlds ingame. Rarely do CCs, forum topics, or stickies get answered. (Even on the RSOF!)

only problem I see is some requests might not get answered/Bumped down, or they do get answered and forget to post that on their post.

Why not make a sub-forum of H&A instead for all assists? :idea: ... It would allow semi-easy/semi-quick discussion with those posts that call for help, and/or allow several people to signal one person who has multiple problems as to what they can assist with. Further, it would allow greater co-ordination between those needing an assist, and those who can give it. And it would even cover the issue Dark_Aura mentioned above me. |^_^|

 

TBH, I don't see any downsides with adding a whole extra subforum. :thumbsup: ... And as far as I'm concerned, those who want to frivolously go "What? A whole additional subforum? Are you mad?" can just go jump in a really chilly lake. A small sticky thread just isn't enough to allow proper coordination of dates/times for getting an assist, and it definitely won't cover the issue that Dark_Aura mentioned. Just think about it, you WILL see what I mean. <_<

Tbh, I don't think Tip.it has enough volume to make an assist section work. I mean, look at the marketplace section...

 

Probably what will happen is someone posts a request, then get it ingame, and forgets about it here. Or the other way around.

I completely agree. I'm not even sure a sticky is necessary though. It would be a place to put requests but I doubt they would get answered. As lady_ninane said, in-game will always be the best and quickest place to find a person.
