I Welcome the GW Price Increase. Bring it On!

[gendoikari87]

To be fair, we don't even know there is going to be a price rise, as said in other threads I don't think there will be.

yes, all they said was that a Price "Adjustment" is on the way, so it could be a price drop for all we know.

'They" have already been contradicted by a store owner on BoLS who said they have heard from GW and nothing about a price rise. This isn't even the first 'store owner claims imminent price rise' rumour this year. So until we get an official source it is more likely that nothing is happening. As nice as it would be I really doubt prices are going down.

mate your entire first post is a big F you to anyone in the hobby under financial strain so yes YOU are the troll

You are reading me wrong, Daboarder. I am taking a "glass half full" approach to the inevitable. I am trying to do so with a touch of humor and whimsy. Here is my reasoning:

• Prices on all goods are on the rise
• GW products are a complete luxury so anything they charge that we all pay is (by definition) a fair price
• I LOVE GW products AND it is known that prices will rise SO...
• I may as well focus on the positive: they remain profitable and thus will keep producing the plastic crack I love...

If you still feel that you are being trolled after this more detailed explanation then that's on you, mate. I hope this clears things up. Cheers. Copeland


PS I am a school teacher who is wed to a social worker, so it's not like I'm rolling in dough... I'm just as financially strained as the next Joe.


PPS I also think that they've gone TOO far in Australia and will pay an economic price there because they'll be shedding customers left and right. Again, cheers...

I just saw your original post as humorous and nothing to be taken seriously personally

Tongue in cheek etc etc etc

People under financial strain probably shouldn't be spending their money on plastic toys. If they are, it might explain why they are under financial strain. If you think spending money on luxury toys is an essential thing in times of financial hardship then you won't get any sympathy from me.

As to the OP, I really don't care if prices go up or not. If they do, I'll cut back on the amount of stuff I buy acordingly. No big deal, it's not like I don' already have more than enough stuff to play, as I'm sure is the case for the vast majority of people who whine about prices. And I certainly am not going to care about something that may not even happen, just like I'm not giving any consideration at all to any of the 6th ed rumours.

Ok while I partly agree[buying stuff when your low on cash is in deed stupid] with you . the entry point to have an army as cost goes cant be rised for ever . when someone [specialy outside of UK/US] hears that to have a viable army [other then draigo wing] he needs to spend thousands of dolars . When the same dude here that each edition the points limit for armies rise , he starts to think why bother when other stuff costs less.
It doesnt help the hobby , it doesnt help the community and in the long run it doesnt help GW too . When WFB went 2500pts starter game the number of players drops a bit at first and soon we noticed that the number of new players is close to 0 . Simply the cost of a "normal" game army was too high to buy it in one go [I know that is a bit different in western europe or US] and the time to get an army slowly was too long . No one who starts the game will wait a year and a half to get an army [specialy when most people dont play longer then that].

Am a vet . I dont care about the price of models . I can buy a whole army in one go [and offten do to resell for example] . But the cost of the hobby for a new player of WFB/w40k is getting a too high .

I diasgree with needing 2500 points to play Warhammer, you cna play a prefectly good game at 1000 points. Though I agree entirely that raising price too high will be damaging to new people entering the hobby. The issue is what price point is 'too high for the good of the hobby'? The answer is when people stop buying it in significant numbers, but as GW's profits were pretty healthy it would be reasonable to suggest we haven't reached that point yet.

By the way, I thought you said in another thread that you were a customs inspector. Or have I confused that with someone else?

Glad you found that, I really couldn't be bothered to trawl through all his tripe on the piracy thread to find it.
