You have obviously never built a huge army optimized to fight a certain
way, then
organize a campaign, only to have all of it be a waste of a lot of time
and a lot of
money because GW releases "New and Improved" rules that make your army
un-workable,
split you campaign group into 3 factions: those who quit, those who
re-fuse to play
the old edition, or those who re-fuse to play the new edition.	They day
GW goes
bankrupt can not come too soon.
