Grind is insufferable

This is besides the point. He showed it can be done. That’s 48 to 100 hours of game play but that’s with sleep. That’s 2 to 3 weeks of a couple hours a day for a whole tree.

Dude stop exposing my shitty stats please lol

I didn’t play a lot back then if at all, and played mostly ab. I started to spend money and more time the last 2 years maybe and after switching to RB. Btw now I play only on weekends because I work in another city during the week, I don’t have a decent laptop so I can play only on my desktop.

Tiger 2 is very powerful with everything going up in br except it. The t29 was great once but is just average now. M51 is bad for beginners, the heat round suffers big time to environmental clutter and spaced armour as well as unpredictable damage. The platform is also past its prime but if you know what your doing you can do well in it but that’s the player more then the tank.

T55 is very mediocre, not awful but probably not going to carry many battles with it. I also suck I. Basicly any leopard. Haven’t enjoyed any of them ever.

Good your grinding some of the tanks to ace but you really should play them all. You get a free tank for every 5 vehicles you ace just in the bonus rp reward.

Also a lot of people fail to use the warbond shop. Get the special tasks constantly and complete them. Buy backups and all the boosters you can. You can play very many of your battles running boosters this way and not relying on the daily log in to get them or spending real money.

Ok, that’s understandable then. I can only advise you to lower your expectations a little. Because the only realistic thing in the game is that it’s like real life. No pain, no gain.

I hope you enjoy the game again soon.

PS.: Switch to RB or sim, you get more XP there.

Always has been bad

You are rationalizing.
I never said it couldn’t be done. 10s of thousands have. I am saying the game is structured to make it as hard as they can get away with, in order to extract money out of people who get frustrated with it. This is the definition of abuse.

My issue isn’t the grind for vehicles. It’s long, but I don’t find it too crazy.

My issue is the grind for MODULES. Some modules literally break or make a tank, example the DM63 on the CM11. Without it you have a fat, slow, less armoured XM1, it’s not until you get the DM63 that you get the unique selling point of the tank.

They give reward rp to reduce the grind and rp. They give daily boosters. They give warbond shop for free premium vehicles and countless boosters for free. They run events for other free vehicles. The battle pass can even become free if you play the missions. They even foldered a tonne of vehicles so you don’t have to research them. It’s insane how easy you guys want the game to be.

If everything is easily obtainable like a walk in a park without any effort, then no one will spend real money to unlock parts, buy premium or premium vehicles to speed up the process, then their business model will become unsustainable, then what’s the point of doing business and not making money right? I mean some of us here definitely know what is like to be poor, when you are poor, you got no buying power, you are not respected, you can’t date hot chicks, less chance of getting one night stand, you drive shitty car, your house is small and live close proximity with other filthy people, even if you managed to have kids, they will have to work 3x harder compare to the one who were spawned in a more privileged family. Goddamnt bro life sucks without money, like you can’t even have the IS-7 because greedy player set a $2000 price tag on it.

They are three types of players, one who wants to have access to everything easily but offering very little things in return, another one doesn’t care about spending $1000 because it’s chump change for their pay grade and understand how business works, the third one is the complacent type who stick to what they have until the earth become uninhabitable, doesn’t care about getting the shiny new Ferrari/Lamborghini, and they also finds sportscar territory gameplay unfun.

I only have 4 or 5 premium vehicles and they’re useless for a real grind, I haven’t bought premium account since I got T-72AV (Turms-T) and still managed to grind most vehicles in Soviet Tech-tree over 8.0 with Tech-tree vehicles, and as you said, still same thing, because grinding in ground was always been long if you’re playing in ground.

Just stop for a while, I know your feeling but ignore the numbers, how much vehicles is from top tier, if you want to keep playing, just play and ignore how much is from X vehicle. I’m trying to do this and not looking into how much is from the T-80BVM for me and just playing some random vehicles I like.

And if you have premium account and vehicles, you got the knife and the cheese, now eat it. I mean, just play with 4 vehicles in your line up if you’re on ground or bomb bases and kill 1 or 2 planes in air, you’ll get a good reward and with in time you’ll grind whatever you want.

Just in case you missed it …

Spending 600 euros does not entitle you to anything.

The end game is not going to give you more fun or happiness. I don’t understand the rush.

In a year and a half I have spent 150e and I have 5 nations on land in tier 6-7 with about 1000h. I still have 6 months left premiun.

I set realistic goals and I don’t get overwhelmed at all, I have the most fun in 6.7, 8.3, 8.7 and 10-10.3.

Where I agree that it is horrible to unlock tanks and especially modules is in tier 7-8. Where on top of that is the worst part of the game. I protest not participating.

I played every nation up to 6 or 7 BR and then just got plain bored.I did love Germany at 5- 6 BR until they spammed it with the M109 artillery peice and destroyed the WW2 experience dead.So I play a few games a month at 4 BR now where the game at least makes a tiny bit of sense.I loved the game but Gaijin just ruined it with one dumb move after another.I played Russia at 6.7 ,based around a premium I owned and never played and I have to modify a whole line up of 6.7 now and I am finding it hard to be bothered.Now I see a long tiresome procession of samey old heavies to plod through until I get to the vaguely modern age.It will br millions in SL and frankly I cant be botherd to grind them all.Gone back to fallout 4.

Damn frustrated hoarder. Do you know that the goal of the game is not to get all the vehicles in the shortest amount of time possible? Better find solace in enjoying the vehicles you already have, in developing your skills as a competitor…

An aspect that I would like to underline. As you grind your way through the game, you often change tanks the moment it finally has all the modules and becomes good. A fully developed PzKW IV, Tiger or Panther or Leo 1 are beasts in the game. Stock they are terribly bad. I have far too many tanks that I haven’t upgraded. Especially from the time I rushed through the German tree. Now I’m unpacking them all one by one and having fun in the lower BRs. Apparently you first have to reach the end of the line (e.g. the Leo2 A7) to realize that it is certainly fun, but that the game offers a lot, especially in the middle BR. I recently fell in love with the Leo 1 again. And I hated the tank. Literally.

-Why grind?
To get vehicles I want

  • Why did you invest $600 in the game?
    To buy tanks i like and speed up the grind
  • What do you want to achieve in the game
    Having fun and learning new things

I honestly don’t think you like all the tanks in the game.

You understand that the more you have, the more stock tanks you have to suffer … the more defeats the more frustrations.

You spent 600 euros because you felt like it. With discounts on premiun and talismans I have upgraded 5 TT to tier 7 with 150e.

Trying to cover so much, you will neither learn nor have fun.

I understand your frustration if it’s newer technology you want to play. Personally, I’m not too fussed about that and prefer WW2 so the grind has not been as hard or long. Luckily I mainly play Air RB so SLs and Crew Points are easier to.come by. If there’s a down-side it’s that I’ve got used to single vehicle lineups and I find it hard to develop a “rush in and die” style which GRB encourages.

It is a pretty miserable game, there is no interest from the company or the players in the game. This can be seen by the poor/lack of engagement in the forums and the gameplay which is pretty dire.
Both sides have totally different objectives and obviously one side holds the majority of the power and there is very little if any compromise from both sides. As for being a paying customer and expecting to be treated in a more favorable way in a free to play game, best of luck a lot of games have tried it and once it has been discovered and known the backlash has been immense and extremely negative.
Favoritism can be done but it has to be very very unobtrusive and not in your face obvious, if it was pay to win then the game might increase a bit in revenue but I strongly suspect it would be very negative with reviews and player base numbers would plummet and the engagement would be none existent.
What would the point in playing if you have not paid to achieve the win and would just be sacrificed to the payers, it already happens somewhat with new premiums before the next better one comes along.
It is a pay to progress more quickly game but the progression does not improve the game like a lot of games are these days.
Best to not get so involved and disengage with the game that does not meet your expectations and continually lets you down or fails you, or you can adjust your focus and objectives of the game so it is not so frustrating and disappointing.
