Acquiring old event vehicles after the fact

Honestly, how did you predict exactly what Gaijin would do? Chucking all the rare and impossible tanks to own (STiger) into an SL crate xD

All the stuff that old couple has was half the price as it is nowadays when they got it. Now I’ll have to work twice as hard for the same effort which doesn’t seem very fair. Eventually I might be able to slave away enough to buy that same house, car, etc… but this isn’t a good comparison anyway, not for the “Want it Now, Gen” which have been kneecapped from the get go.

This has the same energy as “why didn’t you buy bitcoin back when it was cheap???” I was 10, how tf was I meant to buy that or know how to grind this game and old events when all I had on my mind was school, friends and what to buy with pocketmoney. So don’t just blanket-wide assume that everyone is like that, most of us actually have a life and can’t dedicate most of it to a game, which is why I make my suggestion. A way for people who play a few games a day to relax or even just at the weekend, a chance to get these vehicles which they never had time to waste days just grinding for.
I would much rather grind out 1,000,000RP in a few months than almost 400,000 in 14 days as it allows me to keep my sanity and helps me to actually enjoy the game and not feel like i’m tied to it.
It’s not a Want it Now, it’s a I want it EVENTUALLY… not NEVER…

Not even mentioning that circumstance heavily affects if people can even join these events when they are running: “Oh your grandmother died and you had to travel to be with family, guess you missed out and didn’t EARN your tank”, random power cut leaving you without energy for days, poorer country where you only really have an hour free before having to either sleep, eat or work? Online gaming is amazing that is connects so many people all over the world, no matter their circumstances, so stuff like this being limited time, difficult, heavily time consuming and that actually alters the game, unlike camos is really disheartening to see, especially when you get people like yourself who’s stuck in their mindset from the 90s.
Times have changed my friend.

They could also make some of the premium event vehicles that are now unlockable NOT premiums so they can still have their premium variants be more rare.

Yeah, I have a busy life as well, I work in the medical field…But all I can say mate is you have done the best you could in bringing it up in the suggestion part of the forum. Good job on that,…you’ve taken in up with Gaijin.
Good Luck to you on your hopes, Im certainly not Gaijin, I have issues with some aspects as well.
I would like to be able to talk to a human when Im trying to pay a bill, but those days are past, and Im not going to have them back.

Mate all I can say is you have done your best and brought it to this forum…
I would like to go to a BR 13 on up air RB battle and play with other Level, at least 75 on up so half my team (Level 15-25) isnt getting destoyed in the first three minutes, leaving me and two others to fight 10 planes with fox 3s because all these new players want what they want and bought a Prem…It used to be when you hopped into a jet, everybody in the match had some skills…But I have had to accept those days are over.
Anyway, by bringing it to the right place in the forum you are trying to do what you can do.
Good Luck, and I do not mean that in a sarcastic way.

The idea of majority of player contemporary having a chance to unlock those event vehicle is intriguing to most and despite by some. I am too excited and wish someday gaijin would think about this seriously and somewhat change the model to obtain them.
In my personal belief, I would spend more money on the game which I love to play and not be more comfortable spending them to get what I want (without being pushed around by now or never decision making sistuation - I view it as being manipulated in someway).
Hey Gaijin, if you read this far, maybe someday? pretty please?
JK, We are human and we have sorrow, greed, and despair within ourself when we project outward the outside world. We cannot control what the world have to offer, we can only deal with what rise within us. No matter how rare the digital tank that we desperately want, I belief the greatest treasure that Gaijin give us is a environment that we can let ourself relax, have fun, maybe with friend.
And for that, I rest my case. Thanks Gaijin and all of you guys, the player for the wonderous moment we have now. I wish all you guys best of luck in your life.
Sincerely.

sorry for some of the grammar error that created confusion (the part about comfortably spending money). Basically, I felt comfortable and would spending more on thing I love. And never spend money if I felt being manipulated.
thank you for reading

I would not be opposed to a GE cost after you finish the research in addition to SL. Make the GE comprable to similar tier GE purchased premiums.

no thank you that’s what makes the vehicle special in the first place

There is a difference between a vehicle being special from a tournament you actually participated in and vehicles that have not had a single way to get them outside of forking out THOUSANDS of USD to pay for Gaijin coin to give to some Bot account that acts as a vehicle warehouse. Some of us who have played this game since the beta but could not devote every waking second to playing this game because of whatever was happening in our lives should not have to worry about this dogshit FOMO (fear of missing out) bullshit that almost every single game dev/publisher is pushing now adays. What happened to being able to EARN shit for free? OH WAIT Corperate Greed is what happened. No one is wiling to hold Companies accountable because at the end of the day THIS is a free to play game. Now lets take a look at that. FREE TO PLAY. That should mean that EVERYTHING Should be obtainable via playing the game. A great example (not a free to play game mind you) Division 2 (dont get me started on its TERRIBLE Launch) Anytime new content is added its a LTM or LTE (limited time mode/event) but after that event is over the gear/weapons are added to the world loot pool meaning if you missed out you can still grind for it. Thats the kind of thing that all FREE TO PLAY games should have. The ability to grind for those things you may have missed out on for one reason or another. But no. Instead we have to pay our money to Gaijin to buy Gaijin Coin to then give that coin to another person who either got that account maliciously, is a fake account acting as a warehouse, or on the rare chance a real person who somehow managed to keep that vehicle as a ticket from when it was around from an event. NAH Thats not Free to play. Thats a cash grab if ive ever seen one. Now if you have Gaijin coin from selling things on the market then gaijin isnt technically getting anything out of it besides the “fee” they take on all sales.

I am sure you will see limited auctions sooner or later…

It is free to play, not free to own all. But actually, you can obtain everything by playing, unless you are stuck on console.

+1, would love to try and get some of the older planes and milk trucks. even if it takes a year of playing.

What a load of entitled nonsense - you can’t get them, because you didn’t do the event, weren’t playing at het time, and/or don’t want to fork out the dosh.

That’s how it is.

What there actually is is not reason why you should be able to get them - it’s up to you to create a cogent argument other than whine-babying as to how they might be brought back.

Have you ever, for example, suggested that events might be repeated??

The Heavy tank No. 6 was once a premium you could buy, but turned into market

Surblinde was never a premium you could buy, because it was part of the World War Event back in 2019

i’ll tell you why your wrong when your older

And why should I never be able to even get the chance to use a vehicle I want? How is that fair? Am I at fault for not knowing WT existed?

That would be good, but I prefer this suggestions options because it allows for greater player control over what they get.
