Your GAIJIN ACCOUNT. Which is controlled by erm… Gaijin.
Not your bank account.

I was really, really excited to see this decal when it was first discovered by the datamines. But being a PSN player I cannot get it.
This seriously needs to stop, I’m so sick and tired of watching cool decals, decprations, and even vehicle packs come and go and not being able to even purchase them if I want to because Gaijin refuses to implement stuff like this in a way that can be brought to consoles.
The devs need to knock it off, it really pisses me off when this happens.

Yep.
That’s the huge flaw with this system.
I know why they did it. It sidesteps consumer protection laws, kinda sidesteps gambling laws, reduces protections for consumers in consumer law and encourages higher spending by decoupling the actual price from the price you see.
It’s scummy and predatory.
They should scrap it now before it goes on too long, but gaijin does love their sunk cost fallacy.

There are otherways they could implement this stuff in game for GE that would fit consoles TOS. It wouldn’t include the marketplace tho so gaijin wont do it.

Why are you guys lying?
No one is lying, you just don’t understand what is going on, that money is gone, it’s like buying a $100 of casino chips that you can never cash out.

6 people likes are probably the mods(im not gonna throw shade cuz idk)
we have so much to spend money on already so that’s just very strange to assume

If you don’t want to buy/bid, don’t. It’s really simple.
Yeah it’s simple, just content you can never have that is locked behind another paywall, just like event vehicles, just like battlepass vehicles, just like premium vehicles, just like warbond vehicles, the list goes on and on.
Then make GJN skins FOR SALE at fixed prices. That way you can chose to spend money on a thing, know exactly how much that thing is worth and make your choice. Simple retail transactions similar to purchasing a premium, premium time, etc. No shadowy stuff, no uncertainty, everyone is happy and clear about what they are and are not getting.
This is totally the wrong way to go about it - hence the negative reaction.

I also think the marketplace is a daft idea - but replacing it or supplanting it with another bad idea isn’t going to help is it?

Except if anything these bids will just create more GJN from new buyers. Then people who already have GJN will keep it if they lose and the people who win will just make a profit from selling it again if they’re that motivated to be whales

and the auction are just making it worse because they can actually make those dudes richer by proving coupons which can be sold for even higher prices
billionaires exist in our current economy and they don’t lose it just becouse there is more expensive stuff to buy

I understand that everyone is angry, but still: how is this auction thing worse than the boxes/cases we already have, which, in opposite of the auction system, IS actually a literal gambling? I believe you might all be a little overreacting. Most of the player base wont be using this new system, just like they don’t use the Gaijin market. No offense to anyone.
