Yes and it double or even dribble feeds gaijins pockets
I mean, if they didn’t want it to be luck then they’d open a normal shop, not a market or auction. All the auction will do is inflate the prices, it’s the opposite of luck.

Gaijin sees their community as milking cows rofl.
What do you think about fixing the game first?

Not only is this auction predatory and disgusting it’s a waste of time and resources. The marketplace was perfectly fine and didn’t need this, the time and effort to make this auction could have gone to improving the game like fixing the countless bugs instead of ignoring them, or god forbid a finished bomber cockpit or two.
Even finishing the 2024 roadmap would be a better use of time and resources. (Where’s our booster/backup recycling?)

I mean I’d say it’s soon enough to tell. It’s a great idea for making money, especially short term. It’s a bad idea if you want to actually make things available to anyone but the people willing to pay $50 for a skin since that’s what the prices are up to at least.
Whether it’ll survive or not is dependent on if everyone actually review bombs the game and just stops playing or not. So we’ll see.

“Moooooooooo” I bellowed while chomping on nice fresh grass.
But that requires actual work. They could just make an auction, remove more unique content from the game and the battlepass, continue to lock away stuff and drip feed it at random through loot crates with insane drop rates and tell everyone they’re being magnanimous.
In my opinion, thats because it going to be an embarrassingly low percentage going towards the CC’s showing how Gaijin plans to profit while hiding behind the idea of “Supporting their CC’s”

A mechanism for this already exists in the marketplace. The auction mechanics are clearly for Gaijin’s benefit at everyone else’s expense.

Even if the split was 50/50 I’d say it’s still a nonsense plan if only because it’s artificial inflation of value and only over a batch. Granted it’d be a batch a year, so it’s not one time, but that’s almost worse.

Admittedly it would be nice to see the content creators getting something like that.

Exactly. Gaijin can vastly multiply the cut that goes to themselves, while keeping payout to CCs low.

Absolutely correct. THIS should be the general sentiment of the playerbase IMO.
Exactly. No tangible benefit except gaijin gets to bring in even more money. Just make a regular store for this sort of stuff.
I just find it funny how in response to the economy revolt two years ago gaijin whipped out this line and then never followed it since.
No one wanted the UI changes, they shrugged and said we hear your complaints but its too hard to bring back the old.
No one wants the auction house and they trot out a woe is the content creators if we can’t implement this post.
Its blatantly obvious how much lip service that was, gaijin only cares if backlash risks causing harm to their profits.

Why do you always ignore the community? haven’t you guys learned anything from the past? It’s enough that you do thee kind of acts.
Such features must be taken CAREFULLY!. yet you ignore us… why do you do this to us?
