Actually, I believe that the designers don't make policy, they just design stuff. I
don't know about you, but I think that GW's slide into greed might have something to
do with new management staff. Here in NA GW doesn't have the control it does in the
UK and Australia, because my local store still sells their extra Epic stuff, saying
that it can be used to play the new epic (Merely because the old epic was not
popular, but the new one is feeling the stereotypical boom of a new game)

If you want to complain about trying to get more money out of gamers, let's talk
about GorkaMorka. Does it not look very much like Necromunda? Hmm, you have gangs...
erm, mobs of orks who buy, sorry customize new weapons, gain experience, and fight
for credits, ooops, teef
