Can’t he just USE the coupon’?

So, there are two issues with that.
-
Even if he COULD use the coupon, maybe he doesn’t want to. He might never use the vehicle, and would prefer to buy something else, or even premium time.

IF it is a duplicate, console users get screwed because their only option is to exchange for Warbonds. Which as my previous posts showed, is totally not comparable to what PC players can do with duplicate coupons.
Both options are unfair for console players as compared to PC players.

To have or not to have, that is the question.

Yeah, I do agree that it is something (using the coupon if he doesn’t have it.) But, I will always repeat: even as a PC player I do NOT think the options that Console players have with coupons is fair or balanced compared to all the options that I have as a PC player. What’s fair is fair, and I will always try to advocate for the other side, even if it doesn’t affect me.
OH! And we can’t even say the taunt of “Oh just play PC!” because account transfers are still down after ~2 years now! Double not fair/no other options.
The lack of account transfers alone should be enough reason to give console players extra benefits, especially with coupons, even if it only lasts until transfers come back, if they ever come back at all.

How do you get a duplicate though

SL Crate events! Happens to TONS of console players! SUPER aggravating for them. I have sympathy for them each and every time the SL crates come around.
And if they get a SUPER rare coupon that is worth hundreds or even thousands of $'s, they only get 1,600 WARBONDS 🤬 Especially if they already have the vehicle 🤦♂️

That’s why gambling is bad

Lol, I burn ALL of my SL’s every crate event 😂💸 I got 7 vehicles last round, most I ever got was like 11 or 12 vehicles. I LOVE the SL crate events. And not just for vehicles, but for boosters and universal backups.

And transferring an account from console to PC has been disabled for about 2 years or so…

This is something I cannot imagine because I go broke pretty often and the only thing that keeps me going is wagers and randomly getting 1M from a chest

Heh, Premium Time + Premium Vehicles + SL boosters = PROFIT!!! 🤑🤑🤑
I post a guide every SL crate event. If you are interested, link below. Biggest advice: premium vehicles DOUBLE the effect of SL boosters! I NEVER use SL boosters with regular vehicles, ONLY my premium vehicles.

Fr. I currently have 70 million SL saved up for the crates that will be released in January, and I’m hoping to win the T18E2.
I’ve recently got items like the BMD-4, VT-1-2, KW-1B, QF 3.7 Ram, and P-59A.

What if I don’t wanna spend a single cent in the game?
I was thinking of doing it and then the QnA video was released and it changed my mind

That is even more reason why it is so unfair for console players who can’t sell coupons on the marketplace. If you got a really rare coupon that’s worth 2,500 GJN (2,125 GJN after 15% Marketplace cut), you could have premium time for the next 10 years (~$340 on 50% off sale, buying 25k GE’s and purchasing 1 year of time x 10) and plenty left over for other vehicles and nonsense.
You can buy anything off of the web store with GJN. Which also means golden eagles, so you can get literally anything in the game if you get a really rare coupon and sell it on the marketplace.
But instead the only options console players have are to use it, or get 1,600 war bonds. Especially painful if it’s a vehicle they already have: 1,600 Warbonds is the only option then.

Just curious, how much GJN is a popular event vehicle (like MiG-25PD) worth after it gets rarer?

In my opinion, in general, the old crafting event vehicles seemed to go up in value faster than the current event vehicles. I don’t know if this is due to the old event crafting system being more difficult to complete, or if the older vehicles were just better and more unique than what we are getting in recent years.
Could also be due to the higher player count, and resulting increase in coupons available. The current events are definitely easier to complete, especially in turning the vehicles into tradable coupons. Lots of people complained about the old crafting events, and got what they wanted on one hand, but on the other hand the value of coupons has gone down on average.
I also think that it is possible due to the events being easier that Gaijin has reduced the quality and uniqueness of the event vehicles. Particularly how many of them were premium before the change to non crafting events, as most of them are not premium anymore.
Changing the events from crafting to pure mission score grinding was a double-edged sword that I don’t think most players realized would happen. A company will never make things easier to obtain and more common without reducing the value of the items.
But if I were to speculate, I don’t think Vehicles even double in value until 2 to 3 years or longer nowadays. And even then some of them have barely curved up after that much time.
If you are planning on holding on to a coupon to sell later, plan on holding it for multiple years. Especially if you are considering purchasing a coupon from the marketplace to sell back later, you can expect quite a long wait. And do not forget about the 15% cut that the marketplace takes from each sale.

I believe harder to complete. I only did one crafting event to the end and that was the obj 279. I don’t think I have ever palyed the game so much since. And I would not have been able to do it without covid (I played WT during school Zoom calls)
