Not really. Stocks *never* really stay stable. .5-1% up and down are standard. I mean check the past five business days- it was lower on Monday than it was on close on Friday.
This is pretty standard stuff. I mean look back to June- stock was significantly lower than it is now.

What's your problem, did GW kill your puppy?
I really do not understand the people who wish for demise of GW. If you don't like their products, don't buy them.
And if you're not going to buy their stuff anyway, why do you care whether the company exists or not? The fact remains that a lot of people enjoy their products and it is pretty callous to wish that they'd be deprived of that enjoyment.
Like I think that most of Mantic minis are utter crap, but I still don't wish ill for Mantic. Many people like their products and their liking a thing I don't like don't hurt me in any way.

- GW and Indep stores to play.
- Core rule updates
- Other players to play with.
- All sorts of hype from GW sites.
Now this all goes away when it goes *poof* over night.
It isn't just not getting updates, its paying 30$ a sister on ebay while at the same time rapidly losing stores to play in.

In 2013/14 or thereabouts, a rush to divest of gold led to tonnes of the stuff being driven out of London basements and put on planes bound for China. It ended up being our 2nd or 3rd-largest export commodity that year. I for one would like to see something similar happen with Magnus miniatures.

Never before have I ever seen "fans" (outside of Planetside 2) that so eagerly post stock values, and wish for the company keeping their game and models alive to fail, and thousands to lose their jobs. You do realise that if GW fails, you will lose your forgeworld, and your novels, the balance issues will never be fixed, and nobody will ever enter 40k again?
The hobby will slowly die, with no new models to buy outside of gouged eBay prices. Standardized rules will fail, as each enclave of players uses their own ruleset and FAQ due to GW not being able to update the game anymore.
It's fething disturbing that you seem to want for that to happen, and watch the stocks with lustful eyes, hoping for absolute destruction instead of hoping for change.

bs. Your army has been updated with an eBook, and has been given new fluff and art. GW has confirmed new plastic models soon. We're not talking the soft gak that happened to your army. We are talking complete cessation of any more content. No official fluff, no official art, no hope for the future, ever again. If you cannot see the difference, you are simply blinded by spite and malice.

Because it's fething disturbing that someone is capable of wishing for the termination of future content, and the ruination of an entire hobby just out of raw spite, because they want new plastics now and aren't getting them. Having the power or not is irrelevant.

I genuinely get people feeling left out with factions such as the SoB (DE are another good example of a faction that is very infrequently updated with models). However, I think wishing that GW tumbles over and dies because of it is a needlessly bitter standpoint simply because you happen to be one of the unlucky folk.
By all means hold a degree of resentment, but wishing that everyone else should hold that same degree of bitter disappointment via GW collapsing isn't going to win you any awards for being reasonable around here.

No.
I'm wishing that I'll get plastic Sisters of Battle soon.
I would prefer if GW stays afloat to keep making those models.
The only extent to which I consider the shutdown of GW good is as a hypothetical example to make you guys understand how I feel.

GW failing might be your best choice, if you're hoping for change. A franchise like 40k would never just die. Some other company would buy it and then, who knows...
Even if 40k just disappeared, "the hobby" wouldn't die. People would just migrate to other ( IMO better) systems. Which would mean a massive surge in players for Warmachine / X-Wing / Malifaux / etc.
Finally GW has worked really hard over many years to earn the reputation it has now. Don't blame the fans for justified backlash.

But its YOUR choice to play sisters. You must have known that it is a near squated army. And if you didnt, then you need to do research before making purchases. If you have been around for 13 years then you have had 8 years to move on to supported army. Either way the crux of the problem you face is in fact, yourself. There are certain realities people need to face in this hobby and as GW customers. As a chaos player I have to accept that I am collecting a punching bag army. I will never have an advantage or even be on par to the big 5. I dont know why, chaos sells, but its how it is.
People are not reacting in a negative way because we dont like the idea of our armies not being supported. We are reacting in this manner because the idea of someone as petty as you CURRENTLY sound being in the same hobby is not a pleasing thought. Look, you may be a decent guy/gal. You may be having a bad day. But no one on the internet knows that, all we know is what you have typed makes you look like a vindictive snowflake. I hate to throw insults. And I dont see anything ive typed as a insult. Im simply describing the way you come across with your recent posts. I do hope you end up feeling better about things. The hobby is supposed to bring joy, not spite.

Lets move away from insulting sister players. There are actually more sister players (3) in my local gaming group than for example BA or Ultra M players, and they are all fun to play against.
They have the best sculpts that you can get in the GW store, are adept tacticans, have fully painted armies and have generally are all nice persons to play against.

There is no guarantee a good company will get the 40k IP, it would be auctioned off so would go to the highest bidder. It could be bought out by a company even worse then GW

True, Squats do have it worse.
They've probably come to terms with it by now, since the army has been killed off entirely so there's not the constant allure that maybe they'll get their update.

I really do not understand the people who wish for demise of GW. If you don't like their products, don't buy them.
And if you're not going to buy their stuff anyway, why do you care whether the company exists or not?The fact remains that a lot of people enjoy their products and it is pretty callous to wish that they'd be deprived of that enjoyment.
Like I think that most of Mantic minis are utter crap, but I still don't wish ill for Mantic. Many people like their products and their liking a thing I don't like don't hurt me in any way.
Very well said. I use to be like that sadly. I found out GW wasn't the problem, I was, and so I gave up and stopped buying GW. After all why hold so much hatred and negativity to a company that doesn't even know you exist. Sadly I was 35 years old when I realized being angry at plastic toy soldiers the problem was me, not the other way around. So true what you said.
That said, how does half a percent tank a company?

I fail to see how its disgraceful. Never did I condone sisters not getting supported. What I DID say was that there are certain realities that we, as GW customers, need to understand. One of those is that sisters will probably never get support on the level of other factions. Whats disgraceful is wishing ill will on others for your personal frustrations.

This is an important point. GW failing doesn't necessarily mean the doomsday scenarios of the 40k IP disappearing forever. In fact, GW going bankrupt and the IP going to FFG/WOTC/etc would be the best thing that could happen for the community.
So... basically WH40k, but without the GW management? That does sound like an improvement, yes.
There is no guarantee a good company will get the 40k IP, it would be auctioned off so would go to the highest bidder. It could be bought out by a company even worse then GW
Do those exist? Are there miniatures wargaming companies worse than GW out there?
It doesn't have to be a miniatures company. Any company could bid for the 40k IP. It could bought by a chinese company who only sells the pre existing models and doesn't add anything or even make rules for the game. Or it could have been bought by an random company who only wanted the ip and doesn't actually make a game with it

That assumes we're talking about an actual bankruptcy auction of assets, without any control by GW. The alternative is that GW gets into financial trouble where the end is inevitable and WOTC/ FFG/etc makes a deal to buy GW.

The hobby will slowly die, with no new models to buy outside of gouged eBay prices. Standardized rules will fail, as each enclave of players uses their own ruleset and FAQ due to GW not being able to update the game anymore.
It's fething disturbing that you seem to want for that to happen, and watch the stocks with lustful eyes, hoping for absolute destruction instead of hoping for change.
I've seen it more times over the years than I care to remember.

I was hoping maybe the rest of you guys could spend the next 13 years not getting any new models for your armies.
Nice......
Yup.
Might give people some perspective on how Sisters of Battle players feel.
Yeh, I have one yet I don't moan about them not getting new models nor wish the same thing on other players though. I hope they do get new models so I can add more to them and do more with them, but at the same time there's other things that interest me. In the long run it means GW isn't getting as much money as they could from me.

Where did I say anything against you my friend? I never have said or insuated anything to do inside your mind. I quoted Crimson, not you. I agreed with what Crimson said. If I had a problem against something, I should just leave. I said it applied to me a long time ago, nothing about you. I agreed that I shouldn't be buying their products if upset. And since I wasn't buying their products why should I be upset with them then.
Where did I say your name? Where did I say this applied to you? No my friend, I just agreed and how it applied to me and that he is correct.

Not really.
I lack the power to make the hobby itself suffer. So I can't make that happen just from saying bad things.
And let's say I felt the opposite, that I really really wanted GW to succeed. If they were going under as a company, my good thoughts wouldn't keep the company afloat.
Whether I say it or not, the same thing's going to happen.
So there's no difference. Because me saying it, or not saying it, is not going to make a difference.

I think you're more superstitious than you'd like to admit.
You're placing an unwarranted amount of emphasis on wishing for things to happen.
Example: I wish a Gamma Ray Burst would just wipe out all life on Earth right now so humanity's reign of destruction can finally come to its inevitable conclusion.
There. I just gave a similar voice to my misanthropism.
You may notice that humanity was not destroyed by a Gamma Ray Burst.

You sure it's not just you who feels that way? My partner doesn't have a similar issue with associating with me.
Yeah they eventually will. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
You want models? Make them. 3rd parties exist and eBay exists.

My partner still loves me and we've been together for almost 10 years. Maybe you should read some of my posts where I'm not talking about things I dislike if you want to see that I'm more than a complaining, whining jerk who says things you don't like. Instead of only reading things I say when I'm talking about things I don't like and using them to draw conclusions about me as a person.
This page is one of my bookmarks and has been for months:

I haven't followed through on the instructions yet because we spent over a year trying to sell our house and I still don't have a solid work area yet after we moved.

I know I said I wouldn't go back into this, but then I read the quoted post. This is unnecessarily dickish, and strays into the realm of personal attacks.

Learn how to read a stock tracking chart. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/summary/company-summary/GB0003718474GBGBXSET3.html Over the past month, the stock has a +/- of 15 fething cents.

no. That's 100 cents per share NOT £/share. Their current price/value of 555 is 5.55£. On the UK stock exchange, the currency is in cents (or whatever the feth UK calls 0.01 of a Pound). After Brexit, they went down to 4.23 per share. They're at 5.55 now. A 1.32 swing.

We put a maple leaf on one side, and a portrait of the Queen on the other. Automatically Appended Next Post: Here's what you see if you type "Canadian penny" without quotes, into Google Image Search.

Yeah. We haven't made them for the past 3 years because it was costing us more to make them than the resulting pennies were worth.
The same is true of US pennies, you just haven't ditched them yet because your copper industry that supplies the copper for your pennies lobbies your government to keep them around.

Ahh, but you have selective reading installed. Not to worry, I find its a common malady on dakka. But I would like to point you to the part of my post where I state the following (this post being the exception of course.). Of course people are going to interact with you on this post! When you post spiteful hyperbole aimed at ruffling feathers its expected. Its further down the line you may find trouble. I myself do not hold most posts against others, its when I see trends that I start to adjust my outlook. And despite your high post count, I have not been lurking long enough (4-5 years) or have not seen your previous posts. Point being, I do not have a opinion worthy of adjusting my outlook on you for lack of past data. But most likely others will not be NEARLY as tolerant as I am. Thus my warning to you. Hell, perhaps that is your goal in all of this. If so, carry on. I have said what I wanted to say.

Been posting here for five years. Haven't been banned yet. People still talk to me.
How much longer until these supposed repercussions come?

Well with me its creeping forward. For others, I do not know. And you do not as well. Either way, carry on with the spiteful rhetoric and selfish attitude. As I have said last post (and I really should not be posting again), I have said my piece and the rest is on you. You are not required to read my PSA or even heed it. But it has been put forth none the same.

To be fair, she was pretty hot back in her hay-day! (Hey-Day? Not sure).
I guess that's acceptable for coinage!

If you want to put me on Ignore and never have to read my posts or talk to me ever again, I would appreciate that.
