I'm spotting several duplicates on the site Wishlist page. Where should I report it, or what else should I do?
Just pointintg out a few keywords that return duplicates: Doom, UFO (and X-Com), Wasteland, Might and Magi...

The wishlist is generally just a mess, and pretty useless in its current form. I'm hoping they'll address this in the coming update.
But the proper channel for reporting it would be through support.

Please read this topic in order to get some info about future changes on the wishlist (written by GOG team members): http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/wishlist_changes/7
Hope this will answer your question.

Was there a point to that, Wec? :-D

Sort of a small comment on how people are never going to give up making new threads as opposed to searching for old ones.

Oh, I thought it was a broken rickroll or something ;-)

One other complaint about the wish list is that as far as I know there is no way to go directly to the let's say... 10th page. You have to scroll thoguh all the pages to get there first.

This has also been discussed, a search function and an auto notify function would be great. Also like a suggestion ability (i.e. if you vote for x game, it suggests it's sequels or other games by the same publisher).

Wasn't designed for scrolling over all the pages.. it was designed for searching, so you know you like eg. DOOM, so you search for it and vote for it. Rather than clicking on almost every title that you like and going through every single page :)

I like to look at alot of them, because I come across games I have't seen in ages. Plus going over every single page is a good way to eat up my time when I get bored :P

Yes, but that requires that you remember the title of every game you ever played or saw or heard of. Sometimes, it makes a great deal of sense to be able to browse through the games that others have submitted, either alphabetically, or by the number of votes cast so far. That last option would mean that it would actually be possible to find out what game is currently number 11 on the wishlist. Or number whatever. It would mean that you could easily browse though the most popular games on the list. Instead of, as now, just the 10 most popular, which, by virtue of being the only ones you can actually see, are guaranteed to stay the 10 most popular for ever and ever.
Filters would be nice as well, such as by publisher, by genre or by year, but that would require a whole new level of data gathering, as that information isn't in the system at this point.

having to have publisher, genre, or year, might cut down on duplicate entries or silly entries, as they could put a block on games released in 2k7 or newer.

Having more information against each title, might actually make it more likely to have duplicate or silly entries. I think it would mean that there's a lot more to data to look after and maintain. There's plenty of good ideas about what can be done to make the Wishlist more functional and useful, it's just finding the time to get some of them implemented.
Either way, I think I should mention that we find the results useful, even though they aren't presented in a way that's useful to everyone else at this time. So thanks to everyone who's voted :)
