God I hate fanbois.
And I hate mindless hatred based on pettiness.

Basically what is happening in this thread (and happens in most of these threads) is that my soup was served cold with a fly in it.
You are a random other customer in the establishment telling me that I have no idea what temperature my soup should be served at and that I should embrace the restaurant's additional ingredient because it is free protein.
go on your way, I have no further business with you.
So we can't post because it doesn't agree with you?
Sorry to say, not every hates GW just because they're GW. I did at one time, but I mellowed a bit after thinking hard on it. They're just another company trying to make money. I don't have to agree with their methods, and if I don't, I don't have to give them anymore of my money. I certainly don't want to see them end up instantly dead, just because some haters want them to die in some sort of "revenge".
It's much preferable if they continue their current trend. Even though a vocal minority absolutely hates AoS, it's a positive step (if not the best step). Bringing back some Specialist Games is a positive thing, too. The stand-alone box game sets are really good as well.
But I don't think anyone here is a "fanboi" of GW...unless you can prove otherwise?
My anger is directed to how he dismissed my concerns as invalid wit a high degree of snark (the penny candy comment) and spoke to my economic literacy as one would a child.
You both have done exactly what you accuse me of doing. I express frustration and concern and you attack. That is the key behavior of a fanboi. I have seen it on the 'net and in my adult life for well over 30 years. My concerns are my concerns and they are real to me, either accept that or attack, it is your choice and yours alone. Berating me and talking down to me is highly likely to turn my opinion around, but well reasoned discourse will.
But let me reiterate my points -
Customer service 101: The customer is always right
Customer Service 201: Perception is reality
Business 101: The buyer sets the price
Sales 101: Get your product into whatever hands will buy it
In short form, if you anger and disappoint enough semi-regular customers, you will run out of money. If your price is too high for your target market (12-25 year-olds, i guess?) you will die as a company.
I have an overarching frustration with the creative industry and their valiant efforts to not sell their product. GW is constantly making limited edition stuff! Why? Shouldn't they be trying to push sales volumes higher? Wouldn't it be logical to aggressively license your IP to dominate other scales as well? It goes on and on, but as a salesperson, I can't for the life of me understand why you would spend more time keeping your product out of the hands of potential customers rather than making sure ithey buy!
That is it, no more, no less.
You are welcome to disagree with my take, but you are not welcome to discount my frustration or snark at me like I am a child.
