However, what I think this latest stoush points to is that the local GW/Player scene is toxic. The company is completely alienated from its consumers who all love their games but detest the company, its employees, its prices and its policies.<br /><br />Now we can't get stuff cheap we will think twice before we buy more models, or try out armies, or buy GW terrain. But I doubt it will stop us adding to or varying our existing forces. It won't stop me buying new codicies. We will just find new ways to buy their product efficiently and find any way we can to not enter their store.<br /><br />No one I know wants to actually go to GW in Wellington. The style of salesmanship they employ and their prices have alienated almost all my gamer friends from even entering the store.<br /><br />If I want something, and I am prepared to go to pay full price (this happens occasionally) I go to Wargames Supply where I don't get barraged by stupid talk, upsold, or be told that I should buy a pyrovore for my tyranids. Last time I went to GW Wellington to try and buy a plague priest they tried to sell me a $100+ model as if they thourght I was stupid. <br /><br />So in summary, to me this latest stoush just reinforces the ugly of the local environment.Kosal and Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620967447204698852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296757215867384600.post-78643677624835072702011-05-17T15:49:52.617+12:002011-05-17T15:49:52.617+12:00Ummm paint paint paint your bitz and bobs then wor...Ummm paint paint paint your bitz and bobs then worry about it ;)Bloomfield Cricket Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638828532075913255noreply@blogger.com
