[Archive] Knock Offs from China/Hong Kong

Thorne:

we are no longer on topic and on the verge of breaking the rules of the site

TROLLING
Trolling, much like the beast itself is ugly and unpleasant.  It�?Ts why the vast majority of forums are dead against it (some being a lot more harsh than others), and have forums rules against it.  CDO is no different.

But what actually is it I hear you ask?  Trolling is posting in an unnecessarily argumentative or confrontational way, often about any old thing.  Just for the fun of it.

FLAMING
Flaming, much like it�?Ts obvious connotations are inflammatory.  This means that people are posting in such a way as to be argumentative, unreasonable, objectionable or confrontational in the extreme, and as a direct result of their actions are encouraging others to become hostile.

seeing that a few of you are new this is why i posted the rules
Kera

Kera foehunter
Kera pirate queen of female slayers and all that is right in the sea faring world hits the nail firmly on the head. The thread exists for a simple reason. That is to raise awareness that people are deliberately making copies Of other peoples work. Not to mention a small proportion of morally bankrupt people are buying these recognisably mass produced copies with no regard for there creators for that I have no pitty or remorse. Now rather than sad little people whom get there kicks from kicking puppies and drowning kittens please stop and can we remain on topic please before you suddenly reach for that second box of kittens.

Barukh:

7 pages of holy balls…idek what this is anymore. We went from saying “Bad China! Bad China!” to morals about recasting models. In the end, what does it truly matter? You make your choice wether or not to buy recasts or make your own, and you paint them up. They don’t look any different from FW. Yes. You are evil for copying someone elses work. Oh well. It happens, and the people who believe it to be wrong must just move on. For me, only time I would ever recast something is if I need say 15 and I have 13 (10 IG plus command). 2 models I could just make myself rather than having to go out and spend another 50+ USD just to be able to use my models. ONLY TIME I could ever find it acceptable, and it’s shaky for me still. However, if you are in desperation of a 3k army and don’t feel like buying the actual models, how about making yourself a FILLER? Saves time AND money. Plus, they always turn out looking awesome.

Marduk:

This is a sad day for CDO.

Aren’t these people breaking some forum rule?

If they are not, it is time to make a rule that states that it is not allowed to boast of being a thief.

Marduk
Of course they are. I don't know what the mods are doing here.

It's aggravated by the fact that FW obviously reads this board for support and feedback.

Baggronor:

Seriously, can someone lock this please. It lowers the tone of the forum and adds nothing positive.

Marduk:

I dont want to add fire to the discussion. My concern is for CDO.

My Sorcerer-Prophet is going on hunger strike until this thread is closed.

cornixt:

This seems to have run its course.

If you buy from illegal recasters in China, be aware of the legal situation and that you might end up with no money and no models. And lots of disapproving looks from fellow gamers.

Thread locked.
