My question is what do you mean by, "...as will the meta game of cheating that WFB encourages."<br /><br />As to this post itself, its been my experience that every addition causes some players to quit. I myself did so with 3rd edition 40k came out. I loved my all termanator army and didn't like force org. I came back for 5th, but saw a lot of people leaving because of the new addition. I've only played fantasy for 2.5 years, but I can't believe it didn't happy for every other addition as well (along with some army books along the way).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683232946627995042.post-69000666269742696662010-09-22T13:20:10.580+01:002010-09-22T13:20:10.580+01:00Actually the guy selling his stuff was a Dark Elf ...Actually the guy selling his stuff was a Dark Elf player, which was a good army in 7th and probably better in 8th.eeorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657816556456124166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683232946627995042.post-35272912816086770982010-09-22T12:52:40.491+01:002010-09-22T12:52:40.491+01:00I did like 8th myshelf and got me very excited. Ha...I did like 8th myshelf and got me very excited. Haven't played many games yet though since I am quite busy with 40k these days. <br />Overally I think it's an improvement from 7th (I play O&G and Daemons by the way). Maybe for some people it changed the way their army plays so much that they just gave up (I am guessing Wood Elves and Bretonnians).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142379276012984189noreply@blogger.com
