I'm the one who posted when the FAQ's got put up, and I can tell you for a fact that ALL of the FAQ's were there at that time. So now that that waste of time arguement is over.

I dont see why theres so much discussion over this. GW has a rather proven track record of not giving a damn. About the game, about the players, whatever. Nothing you say here, or anywhere for that matter, is going to change whats going on. No one at GW is going to stumble over this site and suddenly go 'OMG, they hates us! Master! The nasty players hates us!'.

Im going to express my unhappiness at their treatment of both me and my Tyranids in the only way that will matter to them: by not buying any more of their stuff. No more paint, no more books, no more minis. Im going to keep what I have now, maybe play a bit more, but I think Warmachine is a better investment and more deserving of my attention at this point.

Deathwing_Adam, you're wrong. The new ones went up then the old FAQs went up later. Maybe you checked after the old ones went up?

Sigged!

I'd like to see Dakka expand the Starship Troopers, Warmachine & Flames of War forums. Hell maybe GW would notice that. Oh who am I kidding.

well I guess if they went up within 5 minutes of the new ones coming up it would be possible

Wow I knew that GW dropped the ball but then I read this

It shows all the times that GW stated that Tyranids do get immunity from instant death. I knew they had stated it a couple times but I did not realize it was that bad.

This whole FAQ thing has got me thinking. Bad, I know. GW makes some fine minis, mostly. Even the fugly ones are well executed. I mean, you have to admit those are well made fugly Chaos Possessed. Lots of us have the rules to GW games, but just like hamburgers, the biggest company isn't always the best. Would be kind of a shame to see GW tube.

GW is full of Games Developers who know how to create a game system and have game balance, blah, blah, blah. They are responsible for content, new units, Codices, new editions, fluff, ect. They do some of this stuff very well. So leave them there. Let them continue to create.

Then what naturally happens, happens. There are some errors in what they have created. Currently it is not addressed by GW. It happens to all new games, just GW's reaction is unique in its ruthless disregard for one of its most valuable profit centres, veteran gamers. Since there is no lack of people out there, the Internet, with ideas for FAQS which MODIFY the Games Developers work, why dont' they look at these and use them.

There is no encraochment on the Games Developers fine work. And the real gamers out there who have spent much much more than any kid will in 18 months are happy. And it will deny us the opportunity to *female dog*, as we are now responsible for FAQs. The number of games which we play far exceed anything they can do in a studio during testing, and there are some very smart people out here in Internet Land. We are stakeholders in this company whether GW likes it or now. Or were stakeholders. This idea would tie the verteran gamers closer to GW, increasing loyalty as we know that our input is valued.

Would this work? Sure it would! Battlefront is doing something along this lines already, listening to customer input. (And probably reading these posts to see what not to do.) Will this happen? Well let me put it like this, I think I just wasted fifteen minutes of my life.

They don't do this because GW is firmly rooted in their own little universe, where the internet is some newfangled fad that is not worthy of any serious consideration... and forums are merely peopled by a tiny minority of gamers who are only interested in complaining.

GW's complete inability to understand the internet is surely a large part of the reason behind quite a number of their ridiculous decisions.

*remembers just a few weeks ago when a GW employee posted in Dakka to let us know that they were having technical difficulties and that's why the GW websites hadn't been updated recently....*

*points to an over $200 order from the warstore for hordes and warmachine items with superiority coming out*

*gives GW the finger*


I've been telling eveyone about pp, flames of war, rackham.......screw GW.

My FLGS cannot reliably get some of those things but can get GW without any trouble...
I'm going bonkers knowing that if I want to play any mini game produced by any company other than GW I have to travel.
It's annoying. I can play with GW's sub-standard rules writing (but generaly nice minis) reliably but can't play anything 'good' due to local availability.
I want my cake and I want to eat it too!
Smarten up GW, you're going to end up with me and about 14 other guys being your only customers. Well only as long as we don't have any other options.
I'm working on expanding my options....
