It’s taken long enough, console needs access to the marketplace.
I’ve done my research, there’s only ever 2 points brought up to this topic. Either;
A• Gaijin won’t do it due to console taxes
or
B• Console players cannot access the Gaijin Marketplace due to restrictions imposed by Microsoft and Sony. These restrictions prevent third-party marketplaces and economies from operating directly on their platforms.
The solution is simple, already thought of you could say. What is stopping us console players from accessing the market on any browser (we already can btw) and then buying something (that’s what we can’t do)? That skips both the prior points as it doesn’t involve the consoles. No third party marketplace IN THIER GAME, and no taxes/cuts to worry about.
When any PC player goes about using the marketplace, it’s a link that takes them to an external website anyway. You’re already there. Just don’t do a link on console, people already know it exists and will go to a browser to use it.
Minecraft, rocket league, rainbow six siege, fortnite, any call of duty. These are some of the most popular games about, and they as a company nor the player have any repercussions for going on PC, buying in game items for a little cheaper, and then they just appear when you get back on the console. It’s already happening for everyone, but us. I would like to add to this, rocket league had a major trading system for 8 years where the premium currency was the main item traded. Rainbow six siege currently has an external marketplace where the premium currency is the one used to buy anything. So again, it’s slightly different but is still allowed for consoles.
I just want the QF ram. I fucking love the TOG 2 and I just know they’ll go together so perfectly, super heavy tank, least armour possible TD that share the same gun. One fast, one slow.
That’s the tip of the iceberg, there’s so many event vehicles I’ve missed out on that I want, my list for vehicles I want so far are as follows.
•QF ram
•Comet 1 Iron Duke
•Churchill petard
•Spitfire F Mk IX c
•Kingcobra
•P59A
•AGS
•Tiger Tiger
•VFW
And that’s just from a brief look through the tech tree. Now if I do buy them all, it’s gunna be around $770. Although I probably won’t buy them all at once, it’ll come through. Now imagine what the thousands of other hardcore console players will spend? Even if it is just a skin, it’s money.
If you have no intention of giving console players access for other reasons, please let me know. And if so, let me separately buy some of these if I slide you some money (I do mean gaijin not the specific person reading this, unless you want a bribe to give me the QF ram).
Lastly, if you will neither bring me the marketplace nor a sneaky vehicle link, bring back the gamble boxes that give me the ONLY opportunity to get these vehicles. They’re like twice a year if I’m not mistaken, and there’s only like 25 vehicles in the box, what are the chances one of the vehicles I want are in the box. Never mind me actually pulling that one. we had the snake box in January, have we had one since? I spend like 40-50 million each time there’s a new set to try get one vehicle I want (any vehicle at all more like I’ve had like 2 so far). Do you see how impossible it is for us to get these vehicles? And why we would prefer to buy them?
Just editing in more vehicles as I find more.
