When I first heard the term gatekeeper in the hobby I was like yes, I like that we all should be gatekeepers and help the new people get through the gate, but there still is a gate, you need to have models, you need to follow the rules in the rulebook Etc. it is definitely gatekeeping if I show up to an old world game and my opponent has all Stormcast models and I no longer feel like playing. There always should be gatekeeping. The important part is setting it at the right level. All of life has standards. Think about it every single quality tournament in the world is massive gatekeeping you have to have the right models they have to be put together they have to be on the right bases they have to be painted. You have to have an army list. You have to know the rules, 95% of everything called gate keeping is a positive. So I realized 30 years ago I loved gatekeeping almost every time someone uses it is a positive and not a negative to me. I am an absolutely massive gatekeeper, but I will help everyone new get through the gate. I am constantly buying people models, teaching people to paint, helping them glue their armies together but I have pretty strict expectations too. I will always think age of Sigmar is dumb. I will always prefer large army games over skirmish games. I will always prefer realistic painting over cartoony painting. I want my rule books to be 50 pages plus. I want there to be 20 factions in the game.

Nice jacket. :) Nice subject too, interesting anyways. Kinda glad I have avoided too many forums and FB groups on The Old World.. I saw a little bit now about the factiocs and I whinged on people whinging and then got tired of the cry babies that were afraid they would not get the most OP rules they could absude with min-maxing and generally be arseholes and try to win at all costs and totally disregard everything else.. Gate keeping I udnerstand.. Ah well.. :) But there were far too many crying, spoiled people behaving real bad.. Got fed up with that. (Not a fan of stramlining everything. At all.. Did not know that made me a gate-keeper but ah well.. :) )
