So where going there are we okay…

oh and this

I also own all premiums and Event vehicles in the game currently apart from the He 162 A-1and E-100

Everyone has a voice regardless of how much they have spent.

without the players this game wouldn’t be around, and you know the old saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”

Don’t you think there is enough ways that they generate money, with in War Thunder.

Don’t forget they also have other games they make a ton off as well not just war thunder.

They’ve probably made over 5 million just off the sale of the Ka-50, if not more

you don’t get treated any different of how much you’ve spent, and to be honest id rather have it that way.

I spend the money because I enjoy the game, but lately with these decisions, I’m currently having second thoughts

that’s very awful system please don’t.

i made old suggestion which is more free to play friendly and everyone can use.
trade convertible (RP) for event vehicles and other items (market)

Would be far better than the auction

Aye I must of spent into the mid 1K with this game do I regent it some times but I have to remind myself people spend on that smoking in a month. So really it all comes down to was it worth it or was it fun.

You could also just take the community skins/decorations after you made sure they meet your quality expectations and add them in game for 200GE to the vehicle they apply to.

This way the players get the skin they want, without having to rely on luck from a box. Gaijin makes money from that and you can share your profit with the creators.
And last but not least, this way all platforms have access to the cosmetics…PC and Console players.

There is exactly 0 need to add an auction system to the store.

If the intention is to allow players to buy cosmetic items without resorting to luck and to reward creators for their work then why not just sell these items in store or in game normally?

Same, I’m too scared to tally up how much I’ve spent but ultimately I know that through this games ups and many downs I have fun and to me that’s all that matters.

However it seems that Gaijin themselves are trying to turn people aways with features like the auction, I mean, 127GJN for a profile icon frame is genuinely maddening.

Okay, specifically I bought PA for six months, although it hasn’t ended yet, GE for BP. What did I get: copy-paste in the BP “prizes” and rank 2 for warbonds, on which even daily tasks cannot be completed?

In Stellaris, for example, each Expansion pack comes with new features and mechanics. I have never regretted buying any of them. Not a single cent. I can say the same about many other games, but… among them there is not a single F2P.

Wow, I really hope this won’t become a regular thing…

Im amazed that the economy controversies two years ago didn’t do more damage to numbers

Except for something like a “Black market” in some other game, for selling vehicles. Camo is just the beginning.

It will if we let it slip

As others and I have said there are so many different ways to approach this and they choose one of the worst
Which they copied from another popular tank game

Lovely…
Looks like Bobby Kotick’s got a new job…
Anyway, congratulations, Gaijin, you’ve managed to move your monetisation practice from predatory to disgusting and bordeline illegal. That’s quite an achievement…
At least have your PEGI changed to 18+, because the way you’ve decided to follow certainly is NOT for kids 12+…

BTW, correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that the Marketplace is there for selling user-created camo’s and stuff. Oh, wait, that can’t be FOMO’d, thus prices are low and so is your cut…

AFAIK there are player-created vehicles in the game, so it would not surprise me if more were added via this auction house. Not to mention “player-created” (but actually made by Gaijin) vehicles…
