I love to discuss and arguee with posters that have different viewpoints than mine. They make reasonable arguments and they help me see things in a different perspective.

But then theres some posters that just spurt nonsense, write BS, ignore everything other people said to them, and just repeat month after month after month the same things in every damm thread breaking rule 2# all the time.

People can chose to ignore the second group and discuss with the first one, without making their vision of this forum a echo chamber.

I only have 2 people on the ignore list because they were an obvious baiter and the other was a sock puppet account that never got banned for some reason. As far as I can tell both have stopped posting

As for negative posts... yea there are many. But they all make sense in context. Because most of them are the result of REALLY poor balancing. So when a game is poorly balanced nearly 100% of the time it makes sense that there is a large portion of complaining. Sometimes that rolls over into threads... so just report them as off topic.

As I recall during the release of either 3rd ed 40k or 6th ed WHFB (I think it was WHFB). They stated that they used to use a formula to calculate points. But they stopped using it because it wasn't working properly and estimating and then adjusting worked better.

I am not going to search through my White Dwarfs to find it though.

Fair enough, there comes a point where you know something and you'd rather have people call you out on it than do the tedious research needed to confirm it to people that aren't interested even if you can prove it in triplicate. Fully appreciate that. But they stopped trying to use a formula because it wasn't working out for them? How's that going? Like at this point, i would improve my estimation of their game creation abilities if they were throwing darts at a dart board to determine effectiveness.

But the people who hate McDonalds don't generally hang out in the parking lot eating a Big Mac, yelling at people who do like eating there.

Probably because they understand that McDonalds, as a business concept, is inherently garbage and barely worthy of the term "food", while GW could potentially improve if they bothered to care. Most of us who criticize GW do so because we love some part of the hobby and want it to be better.

GW is the McDonalds of gaming. It's never going to be what you want it to be.

If they were their miniatures would be a lot less expensive. And I'm pretty sure the crew at GW would be offended to hear you say that. :p

Warhammer 40k is the Beats by Dre of the wargaming world.
