I disagree, and counter your points with the fact Necrons get a second (almost invunerable -ish) 5/4+ saving throw army wide, this is entirely unfair when compared to other armies such as orks, marines or imperial guard. Please do not take that personally because I also have a large army of Necrons, I just feel like a broad mind is needed when looking at the situation and as I said earlier it's very easy to be happy when it's your favourite army which has been buffed. Unfortunatly that's the wrong attitude to take to better the game and the hobby, but does help GW's sales figures. The point I was making was that compared to any other army in the game, both Eldar and Necrons are in a league of their own, and it's not fun.
I'm not disagreeing that Necrons aren't stupid in their own right. Last week I played 2 games, very casual lists, and made 3 (yes, 3) of my friends not ever wanna play them again. My arguments are that Necrons aren't toting around Sttrength D in spades and toting around S6 on infantry, and broke every standard set forth by every other codex previously. By no means Are Necrons not stupid, just not quite as much so as Eldar.
Well wraithbone is one of the hardest substances in use in the setting only outmatched by Necron armor. Eldar make everything thye have out of wraithbone... So having the 3+ on bikes makes a little bit of sense. You have more of a chance of hitting the bike than the guy on the bike so really you arent using the little guys armor but the durability of the bike instead. Wraithlords, wraithknights, and wraithguard are all made of wraithbone and have that same 3+ armor save. Spamming gargantuan creatures probably wasn't a good thing on their part but Ill take it to tournaments anytime I suspect multiple Imperial Knight Titans.
Well, that really tough Necron armor that's on-par with Wraithbone? Yeah, they made a shell out of it that contains the captures essence of a being that eats stars. Toughness 7, 4+ armor save.......
Gotta love GWs inconsistencies.

This is why I say it is bad for the game and the hobby. Now you have only one option, to buy another army to play with your friends, which is why I say it is good for GW's sales figures.
Very sad indeed.

Well, there are more ways still to lower the power level on Crons, mainly by not using the Decurion. But GW trying to sell the crap out of new Eldar models will probably cause a lot of people to quit the game, or will skew sales in general as most people will just by the most powerful army and sell their others. Or, people stop playing against Eldar players, and people will stop buying Eldar models because of it. Either way, it's all very disheartening.

Necrons got insanely good durability that can only be ignored by Str D? Give Eldar a ton of Str D.
They are ancient enemies, after all. And Eldar did win.
I'm an eldar player, I hate this new Dex. I'm also a Chaos player, both Daemons and CSM, hate their Dex's including the new Khorne Daemonkin. Why do I hate them? Because GW doesn't do anything in the form of playtesting with competence.
The two Dex, came out rather close together, and you can argue that one is more of a supplement of sorts all you bloody want, but is still riddled with terrible wording, awful and utterly useless units that by all standards shouldn't have even been recasted (Blood thirsters, I'm looking at you, you poor poor sobs) and with 0 uniqueness to it. Why is it that my Bloodhunter cant take options? Why can't my bloodreapers? That cool, crap Dex, I get it. Over priced, bland units for smitten players like myself who hoped for a Dex to make their favorite Chaos God useful at last.
Eldar hit the field with a bang, got random bloody upgrades which baffle all known lore junkie's to the point this brains melt with nurgly goodness. How can a race of being constantly on the run, being wiped out everywhere find the time to make massive constructs that are more "Creature" than mechanism. Neat. Didn't know a giant power ranger droid was alive! Might as well turn Mauler fiends and the likes into MCs too right? Nope. Here, have a shaft. Guess where Chaos players can stick it.
Life: An incomprehensible, endless circle of involuntary self-destruction.

More like "claimed victory after the Necrons killed the Eldar's bosses, then killed their own bosses, then Szarekh had an emogoth moment and felt bad about what he did and told everyone to go to bed while he fethed off into deep space to cut his wrists".
Also it is mandated by law that all Eldar players must play this every time they roll for D weapons.
Because that's how everyone else feels when we get slapped with multiple D-plates to the face.
