I don’t play on console, but I empathize with and advocate for our console brethren to be able to obtain as many vehicles and cosmetics as they wish. I do not know if the Marketplace will ever be open to consoles, but it doesn’t seem very likely. So, IMO, this is one of the strongest arguments that I have seen so far against this new auction system. Instead of the content being added in game directly for GE’s. Again, even though I do not play on console.

Heinkel He 162*
not a Messerschmitt.
Vehicles of any kind or a module set according to rank, e.g. rank VII module set for expanding an entire tank or aircraft or ship, i.e. you bid on this module set, if you have it, all modules will be researched when you redeem it, I’m pretty sure that people will bid on that.

Just why? Why even? War Thunder isn’t even gambling game. Please revoke this feature and instead focus on making the game better.

What if they added removed stuffs just like 105 tiger 💀

It’s inevitable, adding these removed vehicles back in a similar way to the Maus should be a no-brainer for the devs in terms of how easy the event/s would be. But I can 100% see them coming back for this auction.

This doesn’t change the fact we’re being swindled so that the people YOU work for make an extra buck. Insane that they’d level this at a playerbase with so many kids who don’t understand this immorality.
This community has to stand up against this, no matter our views about balance or gameplay experience.
The current market (by a reasonably coherent interpretation) is already a form of auction, and the anonymous factor only worsens it. I expect this to be cancelled ASAP.
You can charge 70-80 bucks for a premium vehicle, but opening the gates for possibly unprecedented levels of paywalled FOMO is UNACCEPTABLE.

@Stona_WT maybe if we knew what percentage the creators of these camouflages got the community would be more receptive?

@Stona_WT There’s no confirmation so we can be more transparent:
The item may not reappear at auction or otherwise within 1 year. But it doesn’t add up or it’s unfair from an attractiveness point of view. In fact, the period will be 5 months if the start date is the same as the one that started the auction, when in fact the initial period should count when it becomes available to trade on the market.
Could you please explain the mechanics of the 1-year initial term?

It’s 70% for gaijin and 30% for the creator has can be found in the revenue Share program
But how I already have Said before given gaijin profits both from everyone bidding and coupon Sales
Even if 99% went to The creator gaijin would still be the main winner of this
ew, only 30%? these auctions should be more towards the creator/

They shouldn’t exist at all there are tons of ways to get people to buy Skins without this Trash fomo top 100 Spenders paywall

I hope this fails spectacularly. This is a terrible decision by the devs, it is unfortunate, and really something that is not needed.
We already have $79.99 premiums, that are more expensive than brand new video games
Additionally, this is another thing console would miss out on, the market, mods, and now this awful idea.
Gaijin really likes to show us console users love. No sales, no access, no fairness

It’s actually hilarious and shame to argue by saying “focused to support community content creators” when they take already 70% of the sale revenue.
They do this to fill their own pockets and by offering 30% the dangle a carrot in front of artists so they create more stuff Gaijin will benefit most of.
This is NOT about supporting community creators, this is NOT about offering a possibility to bypass luck, this IS ONLY about milking the stupidity of people and therefore their wallets.
If they would like to eliminate luck and sincerely want to give more people the opportunity to buy skins and co., DON’T ARTIFICIALLY LIMIT THEM.
What a joke of a statement

So uh, has the auction been cancelled yet? Surely when 99% of the community is against it you wouldn’t dare go through with it… right?? Please listen to your community gaijin, practically nobody wants this…
