CLOSED!

=Reason for Closing=
 * 1) Was going nowhere. Not just nowhere fast, but just nowhere.
 * 2) Honestly nothing good was coming out of it, except for this.
 * 3) Only have had 5 users submit in about a month, need at least 10.
 * 4) Apparently this wiki doesn't respect innovative farming builds and dismisses them as shit very, very quickly. For this reason, even if something good came out of it, it probably wouldn't get any higher than a 2.  I have witnessed this many times.
 * 5) This wiki doesn't respect farming builds in general. I have witnessed amazingly good builds get the crap beaten out of them because some people who haven't done anything but gvg for 5 months take 2 glances at it and rate it a 0 or 1.  Only already accepted builds that have been in existence for some time actually get good ratings, or variations thereof.

So, really, no reason to wait weeks for a few builds that 1) probably aren't good and 2) wont get any respect out of the community. I apologize to all of the users that have submitted to this contest. There will be no rewards due to lack of participation.

The purpose of this contest is to create new, Innovative farming builds.

Why This Exists
The way I see things, there are 8 ways to farm things: 55ing, 600/smite, W/Mo AoE (axe or glads defence), E/A (or A/E) with shadow form, terra tanks, A/Me perma shadow (only used in tombs), Rt/Me vengeful, and a few other rarely used melee builds that are for a specific purpose (eg this). My response to this: "Wow..." The fact that all of Guild Wars uses 8 ideas to make almost all the money that is in circulation is appalling. So, I have created this contest in hopes that this number will be increased. If this is only increased by 1, I will consider it to be a great improvement to all of the Guild Wars society.

Rewards
In order to facilitate the want to participate in this contest, I will put up a money reward as the prize.

There will be a first place, a second place, a third place, and 3 honorable mention positions.

1 First Place Prize: 30,000 gold 1 Second Place Prize: 20,000 gold 1 Third Place Prize: 10,000 gold 3 Honorable Mentions: 5,000 gold

This is a total of 75,000 gold that will be given away at the end of this contest.

If a submission or multiple submissions are especially good (as in, have a chance of changing the farming meta), the author(s) of that build will be awarded an additional prize of their choice. Some examples are: gold dwarven axe, elemental sword, ruby djinn polymock piece, 15 onyx gemstones, or other items I may have at the time.

Additional Notes
This contest will last at least 1 week, and at most until February. This is dependant upon the number of applicants. The more applicants, the shorter the duration of the contest, as continuing it further will do me no good.

I, Ressmonkey, will decide who wins.

Rules

 * 1) The most important rule is that it must be original or at least semi-original. If anybody puts a 55, 600/smite, or e/me with stoneflesh aura etc. on this page, it will get disqualified.  It is important to remember that these builds are meant secondly to work well, while the primary goal is to create a new idea that can be applied to make Guild Wars more diverse.
 * 2) No already vetted builds can be used for this contest. This should be obvious, but I am just making it more clear to everybody.
 * 3) The submitted build cannot have a rating on it before it was submitted to this page.
 * 4) Because of the two previous rules, it is best if the build is in the user namespace.
 * 5) Any user may have as many submissions as they want.
 * 6) You may not use a build that somebody else has created.
