A while back I saw a list of major GW shareholders, the largest ones were IIRC investment firms.
I seriously doubt that type of shareholder would give a rat's A-- what GW did until it caused stock value to drop, then they would just sell before they took a loss.
I have also heard that the Shareholders told GW management they felt GW was not doing enough to maximize profits.
Wish I had a reasonable alternative to driving to work. I live 20 miles from work, 15 of that is highway and takes 12 minutes, the other 5 takes 23 minutes. If I rode a bike I could not take the highway which would add 30+ minutes driving. That means I would spend 3 hours+ round trip. Public transportation would take as long or longer. Since I work 10-12 hours per day I would have almost no free time.
@adamsfamily....no a web boycott proberly won't work but word of it might filter through and throw a switch at GW HQ. Beside being english they proberbly think a web boycott is Geoffery signing laptops. (cricket...you yanks proberbly missed the joke). There is a facebook page set up though if any of you are interested....550 members last time I looked.

To be fair I'm english and that joke skipped me. But i' not a cricket fan. shameful i know.
As to the facebook page, i shall have to stay clear. I don't welcome a price increase etc but I can't boycott my hobby either.
As a student i have little enough cash as it is so i am very specific as to when i can afford to indulge in my hobby.
Unfortunetly as much as i wish things were cheaper, i have jsut come to accept it. When i first started Uni i could buy a loaf of bread ( a decent quality loaf) for under £1. Now it's more like £1.50. I could buy Value range from tesco etc but i would rather pay that little bit more and enjoy the whole oaf of bread instead of buying cardboard quality bread that i can barely force myself to eat. The same goes for my hobby. I would rather pay for the quality of the product than change system or product. If that means waiting a few extra weeks to gather the money to buy a box of marines, i'm ok with that. If anything it makes me value the stuff i already own even more.
Don't want to poke a nerve or anything but, I can create a long list detailing why I should not try or do anything.....ever. Just because its difficult you say give up before you even try?
Facebook-mass emails-word of mouth-everyone knows someone who visits forums or facebook, its really not that complicated. You go ahead and just quit before you try though that seems to be the way most people deal with things these days.
As before don't want to bicker, but saying its too hard and making a list why is a very lame excuse, although a lot faster and easier then actually trying to make a difference.
Dad ... No idea that was the general consensis.
Too hard, blind acceptance, don't rock the boat...these things are fine, some people fight injustice others live with it. I live by the motto "Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees".c I'm not poking fun at anyone who accepts the price change I'm just looking to recruit like minded gamers
