Meet the Auction!

Amazing!

I always wanted a system to get limited runs of exclusive content sold through a system that is explicitly made to have players take the blame for driving up the prices to exorbitant levels! What a great new experience!

I also love how this technically isn’t real money, only a currency that has a 1:1 exchange rate for real money and can only be acquired by buying it or being a skin creator! That technically makes this not fall under gambling regulations in most countries!

Truly a great new mechanic!

I’m concerned about the introduction of this feature in my country. Online auctions of any kind are strictly regulated in Belgium and the Benelux. Gambling laws are also very strict for online games here, like the SL crates that fall in a gray area legally.

Is there anywhere where I can voice these fears? Has the Gaijin team consulted its legal team regarding this decision?

Wat zegt de wet over gokken?.

I have not spent money for premium account in this game since I started playing in 2016, nor ever bought a premium vehicle.

Now my desire to, if it ever existed, is even lower.

Absolute disgrace.
Big no. Development resources should be used for FINISHING the last patch and fixing bugs! PzH is still not finished, VBCI has non functional aps… and that’s just new content.

You can. Go to the Wiki page, login and press “show in game” wile you are logged into the game on your console.

From there you can add it to your wishlist and then access the test drive whenever you want.

Thanks, I will try to write a comprehensive email with all my questions.
