Is there a way to get ge for free on dev sever so you can test stuff and also buy your way to top tier so lower rank users can test the new top tier Tanks, planes ECT
No personal offence but I don’t think low tier players testing top tier stuff, when they have no idea what they’re testing, is a good idea.

Counterpoint: You can reach 11.7/11.3 by level 35 account in sweden.
You might also want to test sth from another tree - i.e U.S main testing the new su-33 and the rafales and the like.

It is strange how they do the devserver. I dont bother with it anymore because i dont want to grind out all the new stuff just to test them.

They give out Dev GE to CC’s (“Influencers”) they like for doing reviews and what not, and to those who are product testers.
Every time they open the dev server, your live account SL and GE get copied over. So if you’ve got millions, you get millions there that don’t gets spent on the live server. Most CCs and testers have that.
Gaijin isn’t likely to give random newbs GE sorry. Go build a bad assed UToobs or Twitch WT channel.

No where near enough to impress Gaijin.
yeah. oh well
Keep working at it. Get creative. Even a newb can impress them if you come up with a novel shtick.

It doesn’t make sense though to me. Dev server = beta testing, finding bugs, fixing things.
When OSRS is introducing new content that need stress testing, they give every premium player a blank slate account with stats pre-configured to make them capable of testing that new content. Some people abuse this to join beta worlds with the boosted stats and do content they cannot in main game as a risk-free practice opportunity, Jagex knows this but sees it as a small price to pay for the fact that they get potentially tens of thousands of people playing that new minigame, fighting that reworked boss or even just testing how a fundamental change like run mechanics affects gameplay experience.
Lots of testers = find weird and spaghetti-powered bugs you just flat out are never going to have the manpower or creativity to find with even a team of professional exploiters/bug-hunters/speedrunners as your QA team. Not because the QA team is bad, simply due to the sheer number of possible and very dumb interactions that exist.

It’s Gaijin. It doesn’t have to make sense. lol
I agree with you. Look at the number and scale of the bugs that make it to the live server with every update. Its clear that they use their production environment to do not only a lot of the “fine tuning”, but also major integration test and bug fixes.
They try to incentivize players using the dev with the 5x multipliers, but the game’s grind is so tedious, that few have the time/energy to do double duty. I wonder if they mostly use it as marketing gimmick to try to get existing player’s interest up for the game.
Not here. Warthunder dev server was always a hype server. However I do agree that we should be able to test new stuff there.
Become a content creator and get big enough, they’ll give you a pack when the dev server goes live to show off all the new stuff. Otherwise play the stuff that comes out at your tier, you wouldn’t give useful feedback for top tier additions, remember the dev server isn’t there as a playground for you, it’s a public test before release to find bugs, inaccuracies, and general issues with the patch before it goes live.
