Well they are not afraid of Legal disputes with the current auction
Imagine you’re the guy who spends 2 grand on a vehicle, and boom Gaijin makes it 50 bucks
Definitely should sell the vehicles in general if there has to be sales of stuff.
YAY MORE MONEY FOR GAIJIN!!! The top-tier premiums were not enough.

If they sell all market vehicles for £50 or less, they’ll generate significant profit and everyone will be satisfied.
There’s no need for a limited supply—after all, these are just digital items, not rare artifacts. Eliminating scarcity and the fear of missing out by making events easier and offering more options on the market would be beneficial. People are more likely to purchase items if they are cheaper, which would result in more sales. This is evident during the anniversary sale when prices are reduced by 50%, and sales skyrocket.
The reason is simple: the lower prices are more affordable to a broader audience.
This highlights a significant point: the cost of GJN and vehicles from the store can differ greatly depending on your location. In fact, due to differences in GDP, some countries only pay a fraction of what others do.

So add them to the in-game store and have them sold at a fixed price in GE. Or even GJN. No random drops, no gambling, no auctions, just pay and get. At least, it’s fair. But this is not a greedy enough way…
However, thanks for reminding me of the core rule: “you can play F2P, but never spent money”.
It’s amazing how with your “game improvements” you manage to cause irritation and anger among players who just yesterday had the desire to buy something in-game. I smell potatoes, if you know what I mean.

Imo, the issue with polls is that they are open to everyone. There needs to be posts/sections/polls that are reserved for players who put money into the game. Too many players who do not put any money into the game complain about profits in a free to play game.
This game/company is for profit. It is not a charity. We can debate how they make money, but there are far far too many players who whine moan and complain (again, from many who don’t even spend a dime supporting the game) about everything that the company does to make money. Do you want the game to be around into the future? Then they have to make money. Period.
I have suggested restricted polls before, imo there needs to be additional polls that are either open only to those who have spent a specific amount over time, or, a specific amount over the last year, or those who have more than 180 days of premium time left, etc. If it is open to any amount of premium time, some will just get 1 day of premium time to vote and thus hide the fact that they do not support the income of the company consistently over time.
Pretty much all companies/projects have areas for “supporters”. Supporters should have more say/influence on big decisions. I do not like how many “free loaders” complain about everything, but don’t support the operational costs of the game.

And then I Play any br 10.0+ Game and I wonder how how the charity is full of brand new premium vehicles
Again, it is a free to play game. They could make it so you have to get premium time to play at all, or things like premium vehicles will remain. You can’t have everything for free, again, it is not a charity. I will repeat, debate about how they make money is healthy, but complaining about EVERY way they make money is a waste of time.
I am in the middle with most debates about how they make money, but I want the game to continue. I don’t want it to go offline. So, I try to consistently argue for more people to get premium time etc. Maybe it wouldn’t stop these other money making routes that the company pursues, but it would make it less likely, and give us more leverage to argue against some of them.
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”

And imo, you should get more influence in these debates/polls etc. Heck, maybe advocate that you get 5-10 votes per poll/vote, and those who spend nothing get 1 vote. Or make it even more weighted towards you. 20-50 votes idk. But I strongly advocate for supporters getting more say.
EDIT: I am not trying to flex that I spend, only that I do want to support the game that I enjoy playing, and the minimum I can do is buy premium time, especially when it is on sale. So, maybe I get 5 “votes” and players who spend/spent thousands get 10, 20 or 50+. It seems reasonable and fair to me.
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

I don’t know. And I agree with your point, but I have asked many players who complain loudly before if they even have premium time, and MANY of them proudly state that they have spent ZERO $'s ever on the game. I do not appreciate those players complaining as loudly as they do, for MORE free stuff for themselves, when they do “nothing” to support feeding the server hamsters.
Should they have a say? Sure. But, I still strongly believe that those who put more in should get a greater say/vote etc.
EDIT: Yes, players who spend nothing do support the playerbase, and keep down our queue times. However, if everyone spent nothing, there would be no game. So, those who only play but dont spend don’t actually keep the server hamsters fed. Hence, why I think they should have a reduced say in how things are run/added to the game. Specifically in financial/sale/premium type stuff. Debates like BR changes etc I think should be even voting for all players, fwiw.

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

I disagree that it should be even. Again, almost every company, “IRL” or gaming, has supporters areas/sites/chat rooms. It is a normal thing. Stock holders for instance in “real” companies get to decide and vote. It is perfectly normal, rewards those who put in, and helps the company know what to offer to those who are willing to spend on the company.
Players who don’t spend aren’t going to buy anything anyway, why should they get an even vote, or any say at all? They are only complaining to complain, and are a huge distraction and negative influence on these debates. I see absolutely no value in their posts (when purely negative or non constructive) on the topic of money and profits, and only derail the debate between paying/supporting players. Especially when it comes to polls+votes. That is where their negative influence is the most insidious.
Having said that, I appreciate all of you who are debating in good faith.
@Tubby_Vermin I appreciate and respect your viewpoints 🍻
