Just perplexed at one phenomenon seen every now and then since the 1.2 release: People disgruntled with the changes in an of themselves, or of the sheer pace of changes (got to relearn rules all the time) going back to WHFB 8th edition.
Why 8th edition, I wonder?
Wouldn't T9A 1.1 be a better point to go back with if one dislikes the new changes that much, seeing as how it was both the most balanced version of Warhammer and complete one in terms of army list options ever seen? It contained all 8th had and more, and though not perfect still seemed to be the version of Warhammer which did get closest to perfection. At least from what I've seen and heard in general, though granted I know very little of such things as Daemons' performance. E.g. the top armies at the 1.1 tournaments I attended were veried, not just an Elf show as during the last 1.2 one, or a DE-VC-DoC idiot run like in 7th. From this perspective, why not choose the polished version of 8th edition (T9A 1.1) instead of the unpolished one?
Note that this is not an attack on 1.2, neither is it praise: The game largely plays the same and I and my opponents still enjoy it a lot, and that's sufficient for a tabletop simpleton.
