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?)
Shhhhhh, Gaijin doesn´t want you to realise how bad this move is )))
To late.
“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?
So the snail is good and tries to help poor content creators, feel myself so bad for harassing the snail for it’s greed samaritan intentions.
Exactly, they’ve got a core mechanic that’s fun, but to engage with it just gets worse and worse, especially the higher up in the vehicle tech tree you get. But rather than balancing, filling in gaps, or bringing unique stuff it’s peel away and pull out the good and add monetization more and more often.
Because short term gains win.
Lies and lies, is what define us

That’s going to be a hard “no” from me dawg
How about you put up a poll for the community to ask them how they feel about this? That’ll give you your answer.
They only care if theirs an immediate hit to the bottom line. It’s all that ever works. If they cared they’d stop acting like historical accuracy was important.
