Me too, but they dont help us to do it... And i tried...

Right now, i feel like a "spanked wife" everytime i buy something from them: my husband beat me every day, but i really like him, and keep my hope it will change one day. But right now, he is coming home more drunk, and hitting harder. Should I ask for the divorce?

And others are the abusive spouse. Nothing is ever good enough. It's always pathetic yaddayaddayadda.

Vote with your feet one way or the other.

Go for a divorce DW
Have an affair with one of the many eligible bachelors out there. You are worth better than that brute.

There are safe houses in case he comes after you.
Be strong girlfriend, we can get through this together.

You didn't really read the thread, did you?

No. Didn't think so.

I find if you siphon off some of your love to other systems (FoW and other historicals are my main hobby loves right now) GW becomes a lot more bearable as it becomes your dirty little mistress on the side, instead of your 'abusive husband' as some of you put it.

I have done this from time to time with Warmachine, Video games, Fantasy Football, or RPGs. Coming back to 40k is always a good experience, although I never leave it for long.

People who dislike GW, their policies and, in fact, anything they do can be instantly dismissed as a smaller fringe minority group whose opinions don't matter, whose grievances are invalid and who's criticisms lack merit. Back to the pile!!!

I've got a better strategy. It's called "credit where credit's due". People may want to dismiss me as a mindless hater who thinks everything GW does is an affront to human decency (that's crap, only most of what they do fits that bill ), but that's simply not true. I will always give credit where credit's due, and whenever GW makes something that is really cool or starts to do something new that could be considered quite revolutionary from a model design perspective, I will celebrate it.

But don't expect me to sit back and take all the endless bs (bad rules, price rises, mother-fething embargoes) in silence.

No. You get dismissed because you have a history of spouting hate, bile and vitriol at GW while continuing to hand them your wallet.

It's not the hate, it's the hypocrisy.

I thought this had died. Well it was fun while it lasted. I feel the downward spiral approaching...

While I'm not going to say I agree with everything he says, I've only ever seen him aim sling some gak at GW when it's absolutely deserved. Honestly, the only people dismissing HBMC are you and Mr Mystery.

Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t want to see another thread derailed.

You are a tremendous waste of banwidth, you know that? And, to make matters worse, unlike Mr_Mystery, you hold zero entertainment factor because every single post of yours is exactly. The. Same.

I have to point one thing out that is somewhat off topic... when trolls (im not refering to anyone in particular here) start a flame war and a thread gets shut down, maybe that is the trolls first wish. so by engaging in a flame war that causes a thread to be closed, you act as the trolls unwitting pawn. I have long suspected that one of the real regulars here on dakka does this to derail threads that he dosnt like.

back on topic. Gw sometimes gets things right. LOTR seemed to be one of their best products as far as balance, affordability and game play go. it just didnt really take off around here so i sold the game. shrugs.
