World Eaters and sense of entitlement

Warhammer Community has posted an article on World Eaters, so you can check it out if you want. I don't play World Eaters so I honestly don't care, but what struck me when I first saw the news on the Facebook page I was struck by the sense of entitlement by a lot of the commenters.

"How can you show us these old Berzerkers....? That's just unhuman to do."

"Still no new berserkers? It's getting ridiculous"

"Low key devastated over the lack of new Berserker models. 😔"

"Zerks are over 20 years old, its about time they got redone"

"And of course no new `zerkers. Because GW cares only about profit, not what players want. What profit you ask? Well, most of WE players have/need at least 3 units of the Berserkers. 3x£23 for the Berserkers, but because they are so "£$$% outdated and look rubish we must buy World Eaters Conversion Set from FW for another 3x£26. That gives us £147 all together. New set would cost around £30- £35 per box (£90 - £105). That`s why GW doesn`t give a s"£$ what we want. They only care about a money."

"Still the Old Bazerkers? Really?"

"The zerker models are older than some players, sorely need an update."

"I’m really looking forward an interview of Jes Goodwin resolving one of the great mystery of the Universe (just after the unexplained success of Justin Bieber) :

Why not re-doing the berserkers kits?"

"and just like that the hopes of a world eaters codex crashed and burned"

"No new ZERKERS?!?? 😢😢"

Dudes...just calm down. Vigilus Ablaze is supposed to focus on Black Legions, and the Renegade Chapters had a huge update. Why would they release Khorne Berzerkers in this window? Can't you guys be patient? Thousand Sons and Death Guard recently got their codex over the last couple of years. It's pretty obvious that World Eaters and Emperor's Children would be getting theirs soon. Not in the near future, admittedly, but eventually. Maybe after Sisters of Battle? Once they do, just like Thousand Sons and Death Guard, you'll get new, updated Khorne Berzerkers.

The sense of entitlement in a lot of these commenters is just baffling. You are just one faction, and there are a lot of factions that sorely need an update (like Aspect Warriors for Eldar). Yet people make comments like "GW only cares about profit, not what players want." No, no, it's not what "players" want, it's what you want. Of course if World Eaters get their line redone and their new codex, I'll be happy for them, but to come onto the comments, behave like spoilt brats and whine about it is just annoying. Did it not occur to them to be patient? The Noise Marine anniversary is a hint that Emperor's Children would be getting a new update soon, and if you listen to the podcast, they are hinting that both World Eaters and Noise Marines will be getting their own new codex soon, which was why they didn't get much of a central focus in Vigilus Ablaze. Yes, the line needs an update. Yeah, I agree that new Khorne Berzerkers would be great. But to come and start whining about how "ridiculous" it is, make accusations about "only caring about profit", etc. is just sounding really self-entitled. Yeah, I get it. You want new Khorne Berzerkers. But that is no excuse to behave like spoilt, entitled brats screaming at other people when things don't go your way.

That is what this looks like. A toddler throwing a tantrum in Walmart when his parents tell him they won't buy him his favorite toy, and telling him to wait until Christmas.

Please, can we all act like decent human beings and be patient? Thousand Sons and Death Guard are evidence that the God-specific Traitor Legions will get their own codex. Thousand Sons was in November 2016, Death Guard was around July or August 2017, and I suspect World Eaters and Emperor's Children will be around late 2019 or early 2020, with about a year in between. So stop whining about not getting new Khorne Berzerkers and let the Black Legion (and other undivided Legions) enjoy their new releases for now without spoiling it for them with your whining. They will come.

And I'm not even a Black Legion or undivided player (still fully Thousand Sons). You don't see me complaining about not getting anything for Thousand Sons in Vigilus Ablaze. If there are cool stuff we can use, I'll be happy. If not, then still cool, I'll look forward to fighting against the new stuff (or I can ally with them). I'm not going to rage because we don't get any new models even though when compared to the Death Guard our line looks pretty thin. Same goes for Emperor's Children players. Stop whining about not getting a new codex or Noise Marines. You'll get them. All you need is patience. Most likely they will get the new models through campaigns (Wrath of Magnus for Thousand Sons, Konor Campaign and Dark Imperium for Death Guard, Vigilus Ablaze for Black Legion and Renegade Chapters), so you'll get new stuff and a whole campaign that will focus solely on your individual Chaos armies.

This obsessive need for instant gratification and immediacy (I want new models for my army and I want them NOW!!!!) is getting out of hand. Calm down and pray to whatever god you worship. It might take months, it might even take a year, but the wait will be worth it. So stop whining, okay?
