I genuinely think the main 2 reasons they don’t bring back vehicles is to aggressively drive FOMO and because some children will be pissed their rare event vehicle isn’t as rare now.
i dont sit on the forum all day long like you do. i check it every once in a while to see what might be coming or whats actually being talked about. unlike you i have a life and more imporant things to do all day long than sit here with a forum tab open 24/7 hoping someone will reply to my post because i so desperately need the attention.
Unless you’re not on PC then your whole point is completely irrelevant because no market, also gaijin can still make money there, it’s people like yourself that don’t make any, maybe think before you speak, greedy cow!
This is really something to learn from World of Tanks. World of Tanks will put all its mobile vehicle tanks in the pass. You can exchange special tanks when you complete a certain pass.
One way we could make this more fair towards people who already own these vehichles is the following:
If the vehichles gained in this way would not be the same exact vehichles, but a copy of them, with reduced RP and SL gain (like 5-20% and 50-70% of the original) , removing the event vehichle status and removing the premium status if the original had one. Basically making them a collector item, that is next to useless for grinding. If we stick with a MAUS style event once a year, in which you could get one or two vehichles of your choise, then I don’t think it would lessen the exclusiveness of old event and battlepass vehichles by much.
Or alternatively just make it so, that you can CHOOSE said vehichle from the battlepass crate.
I see where you’re coming from, but I lean towards giving benefits to original owners rather than putting drawbacks on new owners. Preferably something that doesn’t affect gameplay, like a title, decal or profile picture - I think the vehicles themselves should remain the same.
Honestly thats exactly what I think make it so if you ground it out originally it should have much larger benefits than if you got it later on. It would appease the people who originally got the vehicle and allow the new players to be able to experience it too.
I personally don’t like the concept of ‘my version of this vehicle is better because I got it earlier than you’. In my opinion, having had the vehicle for however many years before the ‘new’ owner could obtain it should be the reward in itself.
Speaking as someone with a few rare vehicles myself, I would love for newer players to have an opportunity to get them.
I really like this concept, people really want vehicles from the past and it would genuinely bring more playtime that people would 100 percent use to grind a special vehicle especially if it take like a whole rank to get a certain one, i need a lorraine 155
While this is a great idea, you would need a stupidly high grind for these to be allowed. You have to offset the potential profits of these uber rare and exclusive vehicles being traded on the market. I hate that we even have this situation, but it is what it is. These would genuinely need to be millions of SL to be “worth it” for gaijin.
I think they should just re-run the vehicles in new events or put them as squadron vehicles for double the RP of a similar ranked vehicles. What gaijin lost in their cut of the market place sales would be made up by the volume of sales in GE to buy them.
Or do a once or twice a year event where you can grind out a coupon for a legacy event vehicle make the basic coupon good for a rank 1, then the more you grind and level it the higher rank vehicle you can buy with it.
