I’m not going to repeat myself. They only have “perma-bans,” no matter how light the warnings were. 10 of them and you are done.
I don’t care that much anymore as from more than 30 in my friends list there are just 1-2 left who still play and they are on just from time to time. Don’t have much desire to start over anyway. I still get more than 10:1 k/d month after month, but this week I started getting unusually high amount of suck once again. That’s on top of the constant uptiers. This finally prompted me to write this initial message. I will see around this November what I’m going to do. Right now just want to have a decent summer outside with much less of this silly WT grind.
Still not seeing where any of this is factual… I doubt this fixed 10 number, and if you’ve gone through 10, then again, you’ve done something wrong those 10 times to be messed up in that manner.
played 1 hr, just to be sure.
Then aplied +500% SL booster—
Guess what ? Game over in 2 minutes literaly, ALL bots in my team.
No, this is not coincidence.
Pure manipulation.
Was it ‘top teir’ per chance?
In the battle there was +1 BR tanks above me.
That’s not what I was insinuating, but anyways…
You’re already defeated before you’re queueing because of this prior mindset. The common situation with anyone not having good matches from the outset is because they haven’t warmed up or prepped in the first place.
It may be that a lot of things are going on behind the scenes in the coding that we are not privy too, due to company/corporate secrets. But it is no secret that many gaming companies have filed patents for various methods of pushing people to spend more.
I just think the game is garbage random event program, it hands out assistance on a completely arbitrary manner, you may have a lucky streak or a bad streak. But in the end you will be funneled into the 50% ± variance win rate.
You can have games where you are one shotting without even aiming it seems, other games you are within a few hundred meters just pinging and not doing any damages to a vehicle side on to you.
It would be interesting to ascertain how much of the player base is cheating and using illegal mods. You cannot have a god mode for sure, but the more information that you have access to that you should not have and advantages in other areas such as magnification of sights and suchlike that would be very helpful to improve a players situation.

It is not just you. Happens to me.
Ok I do not play navy, but ground battles are same sh…
And about boosters, when ever I activate booster, no matter which one, 10 or 150%, I feel like shells are broken.
Bounce, penetrator but no damage. Also I feel I am visible for all of them, more like big flashing sing above my tank, saying there he is, just shoot him.
And at 99,99999999% battles with activated booster I am destroyed with one shot.

I mostly stopped playing ground years ago due to the cotton shells shenanigans and constant steamroll losses. I still stand by my initial statement here from 6 months ago. This is still a daily occurrence for me.
Just checked, my win rate for the last 2 days is 30% (counted from the battle list). I activated a special task for 7 wins in Naval. It took me 6 days to finish it (!!!). Some days I played less and didn’t even get the medium task done. I have 14 special tasks that I can use, but it takes (for some strange reason) sooo much longer to finish one of them this time around (hmmmm…).
I had 10x 300% boosters that I used yesterday and today, one at a time. 8 of them were for SL. Played my Moffett with that. 7 of the matches were +0.7 uptier and 1 was +0.3. Played 2 matches with STOCK 6.3 Kutuzov for the 300% RP. BOTH matches were +0.7 uptiers to 7.0. So far, I believe, I played 6 matches with it and 100% of them were uptiers to 7.0.
For the 10x 300% boosters (got some from Assault and BP) I got TWO WINS out of 10 matches. That’s 2 wins and 8 stinkin’ losses. Tell me that gaijin is not putting their fat thumb on the scale. That’s all this game is now… constant uptiers and losing streaks. It’s just toxic and pointless at this stage.
To think of it, maybe that’s why they have removed the proper stat card, so you cannot see your win rate and your k/d for the last month.
My medium task today was to kill a ship that was attacking my teammate and get a win at the same time, twice. Played few matches, got ZERO wins with all the matches still being +0.7 uptiers and I promptly exited the game. This is ridiculous. Zero fairness. I cannot spend 4 hours a day playing this game.
Btw, given the amount of grind, why are we still PAYING for the BP every 3 months? The vehicles are not worth this amount of grind plus the money. The odds are stacked against you. The daily BP tasks are designed to make you grind for hours (at least in Naval). Too many of them based on wins when the MM is inept (probably by design) to provide a balanced match with proper amount for each value of uptiers. That’s the thing. Things got worse last couple of years. It wasn’t like this (in Naval) 3-4 years ago. Games were actually fun. Now it’s just constant uphill battle and I’m sick of it.
Now, with the Holidays coming, they try to make you grind 3 branches at the same time. Gaijin is Krampus. It’s obvious they want you to buy levels, as you will be busy with your family. Every event I just get pushed further and further away. How about the recent one for the plane that they have jacked up the price from 699GE to 999GE for each 35,000 points stage? I didn’t even play it. Are they going to charge 1,200GE for 45,000 points stage now? smh

You have to do something worth being perma chat banned. Oh, I don’t know toxically being rude to people to the point of it happening.
Besides that reading everything you wrote just sounds more like a skill issue honesty. Spamming boosters doesn’t mean anything anymore you lose more doing it then you would just using one.
I have played this game (with some breaks) for 12 years now. I used to have overall 68% win rate years and years ago. Ever since then they changed something and for years now I was getting my win rate in the 40%s month after month. Many events (when they had stats for it) I would have to play 30+ matches just to get 10 wins for the task. My 68% win rate (with many thousands of battles) got withered down to 52% now. About a year and a half ago I had 53%, so I’m still going down. This is not just about the win rate, but about the quality of the matches, composition of the team and rewards for the win that I’m being denied by this shoddy MM.
Fun fact: I have recently spaded three British destroyers with ZERO wins. Played each one at a time with a backup, so would get extra RP for the ship below it. Only got very few wins later while still grinding. It’s just not fun anymore.

Dude, I hear it every time “skill issue.” If anything, I’m too good and that’s why I get punished. There are times I get more kills than my entire team. The MM puts too much value on my account and assumes I will do all the work for some stupid reason. Check my stat card before assuming things. There are too many people here pulling the “skill issue” card while they have barely 1:1 k/d with tons of ground AI mowing in Air. I’m not saying you are one of these, as I have no desire to log back into the game to check.

WT Conspiracy of the year, all jokes aside i love meming about the 500% booster bad match thing but I dont think there is actually anything behind it other than mentality and a few other elements at play, i don’t think gaijin sabotages specific instances of matches
Then stop telling people “skill issue” without knowing the facts. Make you look like a n00b.
Don’t make a post that you suck every day for the 1st hour. Another thing is just reading what you wrote. Overlaying boosters doesn’t do anything, you’re quite literally wasting them. At that point. Boosters are already known to put you in an uptier.
So once again, you clearly have shown in your responses that you just over-extend yourself rather than halting, waiting for the rest of the team to catch up meaning you become easy prey.
When I say waiting, it means holding your ground cause the enemy is going to both assault your area and possibly snipe.
I stopped playing due to this. Most recently I started with 3 games with no less than 30 tank hits and I only had 2 kills with around 15 assists. One of the 2 kills was a mortar. It got to the point where I would shoot something then say out loud “well I’m dead” and sure enough, one-shot. My son-in-law would watch and just laugh at how comical it was.

That’s cause you’re meant to aim for weak points. You can’t expect to hit center mass and expect it to one shot kill you.
Dude, what are you talking about? Stop assuming things. The last thing one would do is overextend when knowing you are most likely going to lose. How is getting a first place with 0 or 1 deaths overextending? ffs
Listen, I don’t have to pull some “old” screenshots. Here’s one from TONIGHT (just finished playing):
The suck never ends. Tell me how this is fair…
You just said it yourself that “boosters put you in an uptier.” That means there is a mechanic to screw you over. Do you think this is the only one? I get literal sucky losing streaks not just for a day, but weeks at a time and then never big winning streaks to equal it out.
Just like my last match, which happens very often. We are winning and everything is going great. The game seems to be over, then the magical snail farts magical pixie dust and the enemy comes back and steamrolls us and wipes out most of the team and we lose. Damn Spokoinyy destroyer is bulletproof for some reason and even multiple broadside shots from a close distance from HMS Dido was just scratching paint. Fricken unbelievable. These magical comebacks are a thing for years and years even when I played tanks as main. We would be winning the entire match, then gaijin infuses new players and we get steamrolled while having a cotton ball shell syndrome.
tl;dr: We are not playing against other players, we play against the game that is constantly trying to screw us.
Edit: I live in an uptire hell even when I don’t have any boosters running. Nothing better than starting your day in a 5.0 destroyer with 9 km torpedo range against a swarm of 5.7-6.0 cruisers for multiple matches. Stock destroyer or a cruiser with just HE shells… no problem, comrade. Here’s a streak of 0.7-1.0 uptiers. You want to play 5.0, here’s 5.7 galore. You want to play 5.7 then, here’s 6.3 uptier galore. You want 6.3 (just mentioned Kutuzov), here’s 100% uptiers to 7.0. What is even the point of all of this?
Boosters will not put you in uptier. I will tell you more. Boosters has no influence on the way MM select teams.
Same like your level, K/D ratio and other thing I read here and in other conspiracy threads.
Moon phase, name and hair colour (or baldness) also is not relevant! You just make such things up because it suck to admit that you made a mistake in battle or you are nervous because you just launched 300% booster and instead of playing like in any other battle, you try to do something different to get most from the booster.
No, I do not take control of your vehicle when you win 5 times in a row or you just wake up and play your first 5 matches in day. No, no one care if you will win 100 times in a row. Good for you, we do not have hidden agenda because you are a winner.
You just get banned in chat, because you cannot obey simple rules? Well, sucks to be you, but that will not change MM for you (despite the fact, that many players would like to see you suffer).
You are not special, no one is. Every player is same for MM. You can spend $100 or you can play for free since 12 years, MM do not care. I know that it’s not nice to read, because at some point each of us would like to feel like Neo from Matrix, where th whole system is against us, and we are the chosen one to fight it, but life is life. (or we all live in simulation and I am just S.N.A.I.L.)

if you only suck for an hour each day you should be happy. Lots of players suck ALL the time. But tbh it does take a little while to warm up.
