The Eldar player can just use all of his remaining points on anti-tank, or bring the improved wraithknights, or maybe the shinning spears are ungodly too. Or utilize some of those psychic powers and rend things to death with endless shuriken cannon jetbikes!! Or all the other options I don't even know about Eldar.

The HHHobby isn't about playing games with these miniatures (since GW's management has cited that most players don't actually play). It's about buying as many GW miniatures as you can possibly get your hands on. Now get out there and make Kirby proud!

Because
(a) After that 1080 points, you can dump almost the entire rest of the army into AT, and
(b) With Eldar psychic powers, you can (probably) just make all of these jetbikes pseudo-rending and then blast every vehicle through Land Raiders to death.

I think we all need to buy more jetbikes.
Will also say, they can all also have Shuriken Cannons too and Bladestorm is still fully active.
we sure it's not a mistranslation?
It's literally there in English in the video that got posted in News & Rumors.
EDIT: Photo

I'm all about this, it's true, it's observable, and it explains many many things. What is the source of that statement, and will you say how you found it?
It was mentioned in the court case against CHS by, I believe, Mark Wells. I could probably go digging for it if you are really interested. I can at least swear that GW's uppers have made this point on a couple of occasions. It's all pretty damning stuff, you didn't really see anyone chime up in GW's defense in the thread dedicated to the case. It's hard to say GW is trying to sell its new models the hardest since the rules don't always match up (some stuff is great, other stuff is trash), but this situation with the windriders is beyond the pale of what, really, ANYONE expected.

I love it
I'm just glad we're all getting on the same page now. For years, people who dared express dissatisfaction were shouted down as whiners, personally derided for their comments. The defenders kept saying how GW was working towards a goal with the game, and that the accelerated rule cycles were just flukes, or a result of a bad 6th edition. But the team that couldn't do 6th right in the first place damn sure couldn't make 7th all that much better- it doesn't seem that it was really ever their goal to get things into shape.
But now hopefully 40k fans will be in a more healthy, unified group, everyone recognizing that the designers don't give a flying feth about balance and the game is insane, and either choosing to accept that and play, or choosing to not and leave.

I believe it nearly killed WHFB (among other things, of course).

Just flipping through my WD64 and noticed that (on the side-bar that I didn't snap a photo of, it specifically says that you can upgrade each bike to scatter lasers or shuriken cannons, so there is zero ambiguity).
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
Truly the End Times are upon us, GW wasn't kidding!

But maybe a person going in with that mindset doesn't have to put scatter lasers on everything?
I'm sorry but my Eldar are saim-hann devotees of Waacdrad, The Scatterer Of The Lasers. In my army fluff this last week the almighty Waacdrad commanded by Farseers to abandon their holy wave serpents for holy jetbikes.
If I can't outfit my army to fit my fluff then why don't you just outlaw fluffy armies altogether you narrative deforging monster?
You guys, they can't be that hard to beat. They're stupid fairy space elves, they serve as the dorks of 40k. Obviously, they should be easy enough to pound into the ground, and then the rest of us can go back to praising the Emprah.
