I suppose it doesnt help that actual inflation and the published inflation rate seem to be in no way related...

that's because wages are flattening out even as the price of goods continues to go up.

It the matter of which index you follow. The present government uses CPI over RPI, as CPI gives a more accurate reflection overall as it works in a similar way to measuring by proportion. RPI is currently trending high, but works more like highest v lowest, which is a less accurate measurement overall though preferred by nutty leftwingers.

You get the same thing if you do GDP by growth v GDP by Purchasing Power.

But they artificially manage the figures by include high end goods like tv's that are very stable in price, due to the spec changing every six months,or getting cheaper where the spec hasn't changed to offset things that have doubled in price such as gas, fuel, and bread etc...

I know they took something out recently that had gone up some stupid amount, but I can't think for the life of me now what it was

GW produces a luxury that I love. They stay in business because they are profitable. They would fold if they weren't. So, the way I see it is simple: GW makes money and keeps selling me my luxury goods. I am not uncomfortable with this equation. If they ever raise prices too high I'll stop paying them. So, bully for GW and their making a good old fashioned profit. I appreciate that they are there to sell me my plastic crack. Bring on the price increase! Bring on the profits! Bring on my models! Cheers!

I think what you're looking for is a phenomenon called escalation of commitment, not Stockholm syndrome.

And yes, anyone invested in any hobby (or anything, really) is going to be affected by that, to some degree.

Flipping out on forums about a price hike isn't going to change anything though. Buying less (i.e. keeping your budget the same) means that eventually the market price for GW goods is going to have to settle somewhere, though.
