Absolutely disgusting, Gaijin, you continue to outdo yourselves when it comes to how GREEDY you all are.
The forced limites of a DIGITAL FILE is beyond a joke, and the way you have implemented this auction house is just awful.
You want people to use the marketplace more? Stop with the artificial scarcity BS and start making everything available on the marketplace. This auction house is not fooling any of us, we know vehicles will end up here and the prices will be insane.
At every opportunity you guys will always make the worst decisions.
There are a 100 items as well because they gotta create fake scarcity and fomo, of course the lower bids are hidden so I guess you don’t know how much you have to bid, but there is zero reason to be a top bidder when you just need to be top 100, it makes zero sense for someone to go above even 50.
This and this. I would also include events and the GE cost to buy it. Im not sure why the balance is so far off. If I complete 75% of a star, the GE cost to finish it should be 75% off. If I am 98% done, I should only have to pay 2% of the total GE cost to buy it and finish the star, as I’ve already done 98% of the effort. That is a far better model than the current one.
The 2 Fronts pack was actually a great deal for the price. I would even go as far as saying I don’t think Gaijin needs to ever put that one on sale. As you said, it is a solid line up of vehciles with unique camos and a 1000 GE. It was indeed a great monetization deal and I too would like to see more like that.
Yeah like the bid start at 1 gc but now its 127 within 2 days
there is no way it reach 127 in 2 days
it would likely be +0.1 +0.1 +0.1 and then some maniac goes +10 then +0.1 again again and stall
Just in case it wasn’t obvious - this ISN’T an auction (like Ebay). For Gaijin staff to refer to it as such is bordering on misrepresentation. Certainly under UK law. @Smin1080p_WT Any comments?
For a normal auction, you only hand over money if you bid, and then only if you win. If you don’t win, you don’t hand over any money. Simple.
For this War Thunder ‘not-auction’, you will need to hand over money to Gaijin (to have GJN Coin) BEFORE you can bid. Even if you have it in your wallet from in-game sales on the market - it is still equal to ‘real money’ that you cannot access outside of the Gaijin economy.
Irrespective of if you win or not, you cannot refund or get that money back. Gaijin have your money whether you win an auction or not.
So it ISN’T an auction. Change your article name Gaijin.
Being a PSN player I’d love this. The problem is that they’d need to share a cut with Sony and Microsoft and if anything this new gambling mechanic just shows that they won’t do pro player decisions like that if it cuts into their profits.
That is a good point, if you want to bid a $100, first you have to pay them a $100 and if you don’t win, they keep the money, that is actually crazy and I doubt that is entirely legal.
I hear ya. On the other side wouldn’t Gaijin actually generate more revenue by including console players? Seems to me Gaijin is leaving a big chunk of money on the table by neglecting us console players.
