The fact that in GW2 you can just type
/wiki subjectand get taken to the wiki page for subject is such an amazing and obvious command I'm surprised more games don't do it.
Goddamn that's awesome. Had no idea after hundreds of GW2 hours.
Here's the most useful one, IMO:
/wiki etIt takes you to the event timers page, so you can see when the world events are going to happen.
Not only that but GW2 also can link items and skills in the chat so that someone else can view them. And the best part is that this also works with the wiki command.
So, for example, you found an item and want to know what it is and what you can use to for, just link it after /wiki and you are redirected to the full page of that item.
Unfortunately, I lately have issues with firefox in which the first wiki command somehow screws with my firefox and thinks that it needs to restart before being able to work correctly.
