Coming in late, I agree GW made some really big power increase here. I rolled my eyes at this new codex, it over the top in my opinion. Unlike the posers who went out and grabbed Eldar armies in the last 2 or so years, just to join the bandwagon. I've been playing them since 3rd edition. So why punish me or others like me?

I've been playing the Eldar, you've probably never heard of them. Way before they were cool

But honestly, I agree with your main complaint. It sucks that people have been collecting and putting together their armies for near decades, only to be labeled a power-gamer as of late. I'm sure the sting is much worse for fluffy jetbike players, I imagine they get a lot of flack now. I personally love wraithguard heavy armies, though with str. D weapons I might have to be more careful (wraithblades it is!).
