“Plenty of techtree vehicles who got a similar cycle.” is not, in fact, a sentence. It is lacking a verb. You bleating “yes it is” just shows you weren’t just rage posting, you also don’t understand the language. Glad we cleared that up.
You were the one who began this by saying “nobody of importance” thinks that newer WT players should have any rights. Never mind the immediate TOS-violating stoop to casual profanity before everyone else on your return here this week. You say people should engage with your arguments but you don’t have any… even three months away to stew about it you haven’t even thought of one more cogent than “but meh premiumzz”… you’re still just rage-posting. Your “arguments” defeat themselves by saying with every line you write that you are contemptuous of other players, their game, and the company that made it. Really, “the other side” here wins just by letting you talk dude.
But y’know, you just keep digging: now you talk about other games’ practices with time-gated cosmetics as if WT vehicles ARE cosmetics. But anyone who plays this game and enjoys it, who really enjoys it, knows that’s not the case with War Thunder. The designers of this game wanted a game with vehicles with unique identities that told a story, that evoked history through physical differences in play. The Yudintsevs have said that, over and over again, for over 12 years. That approach is what makes the game unique and has helped it survive this long. To suggest vehicles are just equivalent to LoL or Fortnite time-gated cosmetics, and we should all treat them as such, is such a slap in the face to THEIR vision; that’s what some of us are arguing here, for the company’s vision and against your reductionist, consumerist view of WT.
But really, no one here has to argue against someone whose vision of the game is so different from its makers’ vision or that of its playerbase, to be on the right side here. We just have to let you yap, to show that you just simply don’t get this game at all. And sadly, maybe you never will.
EDIT: So this was shadowbanned. In May 2025, 15 months later. Sure, I don’t mind throwing this to the mods. The only question here is, are there going to be any consequences for people who abuse these community moderation components of this forum to silence people they don’t like? Or is this shadowbanning of old posts just to increase the numbers of complaints about active, contributing members going to continue?
