Unethical, perhaps, hardly illegal.
Please explain why you arrived at the conclusion that what they are doing is "perhaps" unethical. Thanks.

And that disagreement surprise me every time. There's not a lot of evidence that this practice significantly extended wait times when they did it with Standards. There's not much indicating that it made a big difference in delaying purchases of AxeFX IIs. Not only should it not be surprising that FAS is doing this, the experience of the past three+ years doesn't seem to indicate that it has much effect on wait list times.
What does surprise me is the scarcity of people complaining about paying the premium shortly before the waitlist ended. Seems like there are a few folks who grouse about just about everything else FAS does.

Don't you think it is time to end this discussion. Fractal Audio is working very hard to ensure everyone will get a midi controller. If I was the moderator I would ban some of these members enough is enough. They are feeling the pain just as much as everyone waiting relax for awhile. Maybe you should be playing your guitar instead of posting nonsense.
And you are posting becaaauuuse???
If you feel you have to know the reason for they have done call them and ask them. I spoke with them several times on the phone and they are a great sales and customer support team.
Genghis, No it was not I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.
Because the forum is designed to communicate information as needed to help with peoples needs. It isn't meant to be a place to argue and fill it with negativity. Why are you posting?
Obviously there is no way for you to stop with the BS so I guess I really shouldn't have tried. Your posts are only a reflection on you, you must realize it looks like all you're doing is bitching. I am not saying you shouldn't post I'm saying you should post things that are not bashing the company that builds the product we all love so much. Good luck to you man I hope you can resolve your anger.
I think it is more akin to price gouging than bait and switch. either way, fractal has done this several times and it doesn't seem have any real negative impact among their customers. still strikes me as the wrong way to go about a limited supply.
