I added information, you removed it and then gave me a "Counter-productive edit warring". Are you for real now? Want a wiki for your lone self? Judge contributions based exclusively on your own personal opinion? Give snarky remarks instead of reasons?

"page should be more for information that's not quite so obvious xD"

What is that supposed to mean? Nothing can ever be assumed to be objectively obvious. You can't really be operating in subjective terms of what's obvious to you and you only! Oh, wait, having the admin privileges now magically makes you the one to decide what is and isn't obvious to me or anyone else even if I beg to differ in fact... poof! *magic intensifies*

I tried adding on you Discord to sort this out faster than at a rate of one message per day but instead of accepting you locked the page. Yeah, let's even throw the 3-edit-rule out of the window — you're the King-God-Emperror now, you can do whatever you want, Wiki doesn't matter.

It's not a beauty blog, it's a Wiki. It craves information. And it desperately needs more in the malnourished state you're keeping it in. Your apparent lust for power locks community contributions out, taking "community" out of "community wiki".

I'm mostly venting about how I despise your kind but here are some actual points on the topic of the article if you suddenly decide to believe in your own front about trying to be productive:
 * Out of thousands of games I played (no, I'm not exaggerating), it's quite rare that armor is applied in a flat manner like it does in Witcher 2, because it's usually pretty difficult to balance out a combat system with such approach.
 * Most often armor acts as a non-linear damage-reduction function argument like in Demon's Souls which the CDPR were actually inspired by when designing the combat system in Witcher 2.
 * Armor can also act as a threshhold above which you take full attack damage, although that being the case is about as rare as flat damage reduction which seems so "obvious" to you.
 * Then if you get into something like M&B — it gets really complicated.
 * With the above in mind and as a Wikia user at first, I needed to know what armor actually does in Witcher 2 as I was setting out to play it — is it the "obviously" flat, "obviously" quirky or "obviously" overcomplicated? I was met with a page barren of any actual information, bearing so little information that the wiki won't even hurt if that page was outright removed. (At that point I thought the reason being low traffic due to release date, not a tyrannic admin denying any additions.) So I had to go find forum threads where people were actually wondering and discussing this.
 * Then after I learned which flavor of armor math did the developers of this yet another game decided to use, this time as a Wikia editor, I decided to take that information found out there on the Internet and add it to a wiki that so desperately lacks it.
 * You reverted the edit with a snarky remark instead of an explanation. I reverted back with another actual explanation. Oh, no no no, a simple peasant shan't dare do what King-God-Emperror does, this mustn't go unpunished! You flipped out, locked the thread against any and all guidelines and "invited me for a nice little chat" on your talk page. I'm gonna go as far as to wager you didn't expect me to show up or berate you even if I did.

Why am I even wasting time on this like you're gonna listen to reason, while clearly being power-drunk enough to lock an article for a single revert..?

This whole post is the product of me being sick and tired of dictators and autocrats like you getting ANYWHERE NEAR A COMMUNITY WIKI and immediately ruining it with your clear cranial incompatibility — the full meaning of "collaborative" can never penetrate your skulls! Ever seen flourishing Wikias? It's the ones where the appointed bureaucrat got lost and the actual community develops and moderates articles collaboratively in a sane manner unlike yours.

Your actions reek of power abuse out of personal opinion. You bureaucrat types never cease to disgust me with your disregard for your own "rules" even!

Here's an excerpt from Witcher Wiki:Administrators(emboldening courtesy of yours truly), even though you're clearly going to ignore it:

What can administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism.

Long live the King-God-Emperror

I don't even need to invoke the "challenge policies" guideline — I'm in the right and still it doesn't concern you...

Eat me!
