I've filled out several fan surveys before and surprisingly that was one of the most well thought out ones I've ever done, who would have thought it would come from GW!

Reading the other posts here, I'm beginning to think I should have thought more about my feedback.

**Bolognesus**

"what OTHER board games containing miniatures do you play?"
In a GW survey.

...Let that sink in for a second there. Hell truly hath frozen over.

I thought the same. Just like when you end and exam and start earing the other people's answers.

**Chopstick**

Guess I won't win that voucher because I told them the Deathshroud kit is overpriced. haha

**Overread**

I was also surprised how detailed it was and also how many open comment parts there were! Honestly one of the better surveys I've seen!

How they can get some good info from it and can work toward some of the hopes of the community.

Personally I didn't put price, sure we'd all like cheaper prices, but honestly everyone knows that and its hard to speak well of the customisable, optional parts and high detail and then call for cheaper and cheaper prices. Asides the newer Necromunda style games should easily provide cheaper avenues for gamers.

Filled it in. Was honest. Battlefleet Gothic as other games (would love to see a full return of that)

I wish I had thought of that.

**Gimgamgoo**

A chance to tell GW to move to paint dripper bottles, or.. well... anything rather than the crappy pots it's in now.

Oh, and the constant renaming of stuff.
I don''t even know what my Ogre Kingdoms or Dark Eldar are called anymore.

The only poorly made question they asked was the one about which social media do you see. If the answer is none, they still forced you to choose, fb, twitter, youtube or twitch anyway.

**Kaiyanwang**

Done. Tried to be constructive.

I didn't asked for lower prices but for a better perceived value. For example I mentioned Genestealer Cults, how their kits are beautifull but the relation points-€ is abysmall. Or how a box of 10 Kabalite Warriors (Very nice miniatures) cost 24€ but a box of 10 fire warriors with a turret cost 40€. I mentioned that the solution wasn't to make the Kabalite 40€ for 10, but to encounter a middle ground, offering a good value for the money you invest.

Same here, I answered way to quick. Luckily others seemed to have answered more comprehensive!

**Hollow**

I did mention price, but suggested that a tiered discount system might be helpful for repeat customers or some kind of membership system similar to Amazon prime. I'd happily pay a fee or subscription in order to get access to bits, discounts, free next-day delivery etc.

**alextroy**

Plastic Sisters of Battle!

An answer so good I used it twice. Also, fix your spammy website.

**changemod**

I used the liked least box to say sudden discontinuation of support for entire product lines, including both the prior closure of specialist games, and the strangely salt the earth approach to closing Warhammer fantasy.

Exactly what I brought up!

*carefully notes down Gimgamgoo and kronk in the Book of Grudges in case GW actually acts on this suggestion*

**Verviedi**

And, done. Long as hell survey, tried to be constructive.

Spoiler:

**morgaur**

Done.

I asked for halflings in Age of Sigmar.

I might have a problem.

Also, Mordheim

**Slipspace**

Done.

There was no option to say you don't interact with any of their social media sites - you had to tick one. Mentioned rules quality as the negative.

**Nogil**

Done and done!
I was suprised by GWs survey, very well done!

Long story short:

Spoiler:

**DaemonJellybaby**

I certainly took more than 20 minutes to complete that.
I enjoyed some of the possible answers, you'd only get them on a GW survey.
It was all quite reflective really...

**Earth127**

I hate these kind of surveys. I always draw a blank when looking at the openquestions, and so manny good suggestions in these 2 pages (and some not so good, youtube comments are horifying and a site wide exterminatus may be necessary).

**Mymearan**

Done! I was honestly completely stumped when they asked me what they could do better, had to think for several minutes to come up with anything. They're basically doing everything right nowadays as far as I'm concerned. I don't have a problem with the prices like many others so that's out. I did ask them to be even more open about why they make decisions and future plans. I also agree with Nogil that WHTV Twitch should be free.

**BrookM**

I mainly asked them to add the option for Paypal to the BL and Warhammer Digital sites.

**zedmeister**

Must admit that I had a little fun with the "How did you find out about Warhammer" question. I answered Space Crusade and Heroquest TV adverts along with Christopher Lee!

**Voss**

Ranking the game systems (1-7) was downright weird. Aside from 40k, I don't play any of those in their current form, and never liked BB.

Ticked Other: and filled in Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Epic a lot.

Very much wanted to correct faction names as well.

For the 'Where do you purchase?' question, I took the opportunity to point out that I only bought from independent or online, so their website 'direct only' models were a reason not to buy them at all.

Grr on the social media question- my actual answer was to tick none of them (which is true). Apparently that was not an acceptable answer.

**Chopxsticks**

Im probably the minority but I dont think the prices are an issue. Sure they could be cheaper, I doubt anyone would argue that. Are there other products out there that are better and cheaper, probably, are there products out there that are lower quality and the same price or more, Ya..

**DarkOnes**

My Feedback: Fix Codex Dreadknight, and balance the game so that each faction can stand on it's own against the others!

**Ulfhednar_42**

Ahh Forgeworld website feedback - stop charging VAT to non-EU addresses and then tacking sales tax on top of it.

The 20% forgeworld premium is irritating. Makes me want to toss tea into the gulf.

**Necros**

Good survey, nice to see they are asking us for our opinions. Said I would like to see BFG come back and like the general direction they have been going lately, but wish the prices were lower.

**MonkeyBallistic**

I struggled to think of the best way to answer the “how long have you been a customer?” Question.

There wasn’t an option for spending all of your pocket money on Citadel Miniatures between 1982 and 1986, then not making another purchase until 2014.

It felt like it would have been misleading to put over 20 years.
