Why is it there is such a huge outcry against Finecast.... yet GW seems to just be oblivious?

They are not oblivious, they are trying to sweep it under the rug. I am 0 for 7 on finecast models form my local GW (went through 4 vargulfs before giving up, a pair of the termi Chaplains and an emperors champion) yet the redshirt still insists that finecast errors are only "like 1 in 10, and even then most are easily fixable".

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Are they oblivious, or are people crying on the internet about it to a saddening degree?

I've bought a shocking amount of Finecast Necrons and am perfectly happy with them. My anecdotal evidence is superior to your own.

No, they are defiantly intentionally trying to hide it. I had a redshirt get all passive-aggressive at me because I wouldn't believe that bubbles is a natural fur texture. He then told me that since it seems unlikely that I am ever going to get one that 'meets my standards' (apparently not being covered in bubbles is unrealistic expectations) he would refund it for me.

I wrote something meaner then deleted it. In short: There are tons of threads on Finecast problems every week, go to one of those. Liquid Green Stuff is GW's response to the Finecast problems. It's imperfect as a solution, but it's handy as a tool in your kit.
