and here we are basically bagging gaijin to use those systems instead of the auction
and all gaijin comes with is number tweaks if they feel the need
So that’s why the roadmap for this year got removed…
These days I rarely get any decals (and medals are once in a hundred blue moons, to get them all would probably take 100+ years of gameplay and you would have to specifically grind them), except the ones from the BP or some local holiday. Decals and shrubs in warbond store cost HALF of a tank lmao. The rewards after the game are very bland and boring as it is now. Daily login HUGE TROPHY gives me now 25,000 SLs and I never received a vehicle from that all these years later. Everything is getting very bland, even the BP. Instead of fixing this, they add yet another monetization venue.
Just watch them remove the Marketplace. Which is clearly the intention in the future.
We do not have any plans to remove Marketplace.
and the worst one possible
So how come you’ve not replied to my examples where these items can be slotted into existing event slots ?

I’m sorry when things don’t go well. I understand that you have to represent the company and prioritize its interests over your own opinions. Deep down, I believe you’re just like the rest of us.
Sorry to bother you about it, I fully understand that what I and many others ask for isn’t what a community manager can do, but I wanted to point out the exact issues that people have.
“Primarily” here opens an option that some content might not be user generated. This suggests and ulterior motive and plans to distribute mainline content for the game through this system.
“Includes” leaves this list open ended, not actually denying any options that weren’t named. This means that while this might suggest there won’t be vehicles distributed at first glance, it doesn’t actually deny anything.
Both of these options suggest either a consideration, or even deliberate plan to stray past the user-generated cosmetic content.
What we want to be assured is a clear, and non-negotiable statement that can’t be misinterpreted and doesn’t leave any loopholes.
Something like this:
“We will never sell vehicles or other non-cosmetic items trough auctions, or other artificially limited quantity, inflated price systems. Every vehicle or other non-cosmetic item will forever have to be available as a playable event, and/or fixed price purchase option not exceeding double digits in GJN ($/€) equivalent value first, before entering systems such as (but not limited to) the Gaijin Marketplace.”
And I’m sure there’s even some loopholes to be found in there, so if anyone finds any make sure to point it out here. It’ll be good practice for Gaijins statement, which shouldn’t be accepted unless there is none anymore.
I understand this is not something a community manager can do on their own, but it is something that Gaijin needs to do with an official statement.

This is the current Auction as of 18:25 GMT
Crazy prices for skins and especially for the frame, outrageous
258 GJN
(This is equivalent to a full patch of Premium / GE Content if you add all 3 top bids)

What’s even worse if those top 100 players get them then that thousands gaijin just made

Unfortunately, he can only say what the company wants to officially say.
In this case, the lack of a denial about planning to release, re-release or otherwise make vehicles available on the auction speaks volumes.
At this point, I’d just take it as a yes that they will be adding vehicles to the auction in the future.

lowest price for the frame is 23 x that by 1000 equates to £23,000 minimum, your probably talking upwards of 200k or more at the end. for just the frame alone
Lets say it was just 23,000
Content creator estimated cut of 30% = £6,900
Gaijin Takes estimated 70% = £16,100
( i know its being tested and there actually isn’t an CC pay-out this time but that’s not good from a moral point of view)

and only 100 people can get it wile the rest go empty handed
so on those 100 000 peak players from steam alone makes the chance to get it 0.1%
Additional content we’re currently considering includes profile icon frames, decals, profile icons and similar items.
Again still not answering my statement lmao. You still haven’t denied ever adding vehicles to the auction house.

Yes, and even if a community manager denies it Gaijin will have the excuse that they “never officially said it”.
That’s why an official Gaijin statement is needed, and that only to make a horrible, predatory system not affect any essential part of the game.
I really hope instead of such a statement they just scrap it in favor of camo events or a GE camo store with unlimited lot numbers (for as long as they’re on sale) and reasonable fixed prices.
So yeah by this auction alone they would make near 500K in gaijin coins and they don’t see the issue here.
More GJN will get sucked out of the market making things more expensive, another thing to note they will get another cut of this if the player sales the item on the market.

they cant deny it because its the goal
but admitting that would probably scare away the last 2% that like the auction idea
