Instead of a little crybaby who doesn't have a clue telling us how it *is*? Seems like we have a hypocrite here. A luxury is defined as "... something that is an indulgence rather than a necessity." Are GW games a 'necessity'? No. Therefore they are a luxury.  Point proven.  So once again, deal with it instead of acting like a crybaby.

You had me until the Monte Carlo comment, Felix. My first car was a Monte Carlo. It was the worst piece of junk that was ever given four wheels. Girls in AMC Gremlins would laugh as they rode by.

That's funny. When I went to the dealer the Monte Carlo was priced higher
than the Malibu. Must have been a suped up model (with ground fx and such!)

Yeah, sorry about that. I'd have deleted them sooner, but I was busy scraping flash. Skynet must have taken over the injection mold machine.

I don't know about Cry baby as much as calling out a guy who has vocally Spoken out about G.W. prices, speaks on how he now plays PP games because of better prices and rules support. And then places the same company and the products he 1/2 condemned on a Pretty high Pedestal…that’s all I’m saying.

My posts are pretty consistent…”over priced, I love it and I’ll buy it again…but some times it sucks”

…you…compared ….it …to…Rolex…Talk about empowering the company you’d wish to change…You can’t see why I called you out then ok, I still don’t see anyone backing the rollie comment, besides explaining the fundamental principals of “luxury item” which I fully grasped many years before this topic.

With your thinking, I guess that…Coca-Cola should be 2.50 a 12 ounce can too right? And if you can’t afford it tough luck because it’s not fundamental to your food/shelter/survival theory or better how about cable t.v. for 100 bucks a month for 30 channels and 75 for HBO…because well…it’s not fundamental to your survival.

The same people that can afford…say a Rolex could surely afford 45 dollar Tac squads…I’m gonna go deal with it. Good luck with your wish-wash stance, not a big deal I guess we just bump heads.

”Whatevernevermind” Cobain.

Yep, a crybaby and one who can't even comment on the topic at hand. If something is not a necessity of life then it is a luxury, yet you insist it's not. So far, you've not once provided anything to support your position other than some wild claims. Get real. Try supporting your claims. 'Luxury' means more than 'expensive', you know. You can live without a Rolex and you can live without Games Workshop. That is a valid comparision.

Luxury doesn't have to mean Rolex. It can mean Sony. Or Nike.

Heck, especially Nike.

Hell, I've had times where luxury was a burrito that didn't come out of the microwave. And clean socks.

Must be why I can buy both at the laundromat

you wanna be right sooo  bad then be right Brotha'

as far as crybaby… if we where face to face your tongue would be more than held in place...but seeing as the internet lets you run your Mouth in huge ways with no real life retort it's perfect for guys like you...less than a man

 

the reason I can't help but heads with you ghazi is one of my first post on dakka you where the rudest Son of your mother, I ever came across...

 

It's cool... I find you lame and your points. But if we stood across the 4x8 you mouth would be closed or it would be closed for you...

Are you a little kid ghaz?? Is that what it is? Or do you still live with your mom…something about you reminds me of some of you younger players at the Shop.

Either way dead topic. I’m not goin back and forth with some mutichild from the backwaterest state in the union.

 

 

“you've not once provided anything to support your position other than some wild claims

And what wild claims?”

 

Do you recycle your retorts because you’ve said that to other folks…that your catch line to give you the feeling of forums victory…What wild claims…????

 

What wild claims Ghaz?? Answer that and please retort to the rest of my comment…not the point you can (partly at best) make counter points on.  

 

You did teach me a lesson though…we should purge the stain of Abhumans in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Province</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:placename></st1:place>.

Abhumans are hawt.

Guys, freakin relax.

Ghaz is in charge of 40k...That means Ratlings, Orgyns and Squats are making a big comeback. He has life size models the in the T.V. room of his Doublewide. Skip the monster truck rally Ma' I need you to wear this ratling outfit for my fortykayy drawrwrins.

Burn....of soooo Burnt!
I can stop now...lol. I'll leave that poor simple boy alone...

Some things about Fascism and purging the blood of humanity make sense now...

cover the "wild claims" part Ghaz... Ghaz make my point about coke being 2.50 a can...make that wrong....

wow this did go down in flames pretty fast...I guess a complaint post made in rumors forums can kinda spark this mess...and letting adhumans into the council

ok really I'll stop now.

Why don't you grow up. Maybe then you'll have something worthwile to contribute because all you're doing now is throwing a temper tantrum because somebody told you that you are WRONG just like you've done in the past.

So far your whole argument has been "GW is not a luxury because I say so". That doesn't cut it around here. I have more than proven that GW meets the defintion of what 'luxury' is. Just because you say otherwise does NOT make it so.

I think his argument is not that "It's not a luxury" and more "just because it's a luxury doesn't mean I should have to pay ridiculous amounts for it, or that price has no upper limit beyond which it is not viable", stated much less coherantly.

I could be wrong, but that is the impression I got, in between all the insults.

Didn't they have adhumans in that movie Idiocracy?

Da Boss Knows exactly what I'm saying'. I don't see why you can't understand...but merfmerf whatevaa.

Ghaz: “Why don't you grow up. Maybe then you'll have something worthwhile to contribute because all you're doing now is throwing a temper tantrum because somebody told you that you are WRONG just like you've done in the past.”

  This is very close again to another comment you made before. what you recycle retorts from other topics...you know...Grow up & contribute comment. Your dad say that to you alot?  Ok so you say by definition I’m wrong...but by Common sense?? and still no one speaks up for you…yet Da boss understand exactly what I’m saying.
  And what are you contributing?  what has anything said in this topic of price and support crying started in rumors contributed? And I really want an answer or you ain’t worth your salt in an open debate son…

Ghaz: “So far your whole argument has been "GW is not a luxury because I say so". That doesn't cut it around here.”

G.W. a luxury item on par with diamond crust Jewel watches right Ghaz?!

 Is 32 mm plastic wargaming figures on the same level of luxury with diamond crust Jewel watches?
 Answer that one question! you simpleton?! What? you so dense you can’t understand where I’m commin’ from? You got you dictionary out with luxury open… bangin’ your finger against the page…

Ghaz: “That doesn't cut it around here.”

 Is an attempt to rally some support from others “around here” trying to get someone to give you a hand…shameless kissing of everyone butt…around here…you’re a clown.

(See that’s a direct retort to your comment, which has something to do with what you said. Which I what I asked you to do but you can’t. See how that works)

  I refuse to grow up and you still can't go in depth on a retort for my other posts.
Quote me and make me wrong...I've set challenges before you that you can't finish. Direct questions and even asked for retorts to key points. Your a clown and a would be intellectual/rules lawyer with a wishy washy stance...I'm done with you and this slowed topic.

Ah don't forget gohead n’ say some other silly B.S. so you can have the last word.

 oh man jester,  many many things remind me of Idiocracy around here. sorry about all the insults. but Ghaz heats me up...I don't know why

Seems to me like somebody needs to get a clue. So far you've not provided a single ounce of support for your claims that GW is not a 'luxury' and is a necessity for continued existence for human life on this planet. Each and every one of your posts just goes to show what an ass you are. You expect people to bow down to your 'wisdom', yet any time somebody calls you on something all you do is throw a temper tantrum instead of actually supporting your arguments.

I'm done with this thread. Congratulations on ruining it for everybody with your childish behavior again.
