Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

That’s a good thing from Gaijins perspective

More tedious grinds = more premium vehicle, premium time and GE sold

Thats the only reason why we have ranks in the first place. There is no gameplay need for ranks.

If it goes like every time we got a new rank, rank 9 will have costs around what rank 8 has right now and lower ranks will have their costs lowered

or it increases. They already have 420K RP needed for Rank VIII, i wouldnt be surprised to see 450-480K RP needed.
Dont forget the costs as well. 90 euros for a premium

Did you read my message?

Like no, seriously that’s outrageous even from a gaijin standpoint the top would most likely stay around 410K however I do suspect some reductions between rank 8 and perhaps a bit of 7 but gaijin would never go to 450K.

Yes, premium costs have already been announced to go up to around 90 bucks IIRC.

And hopefully Gaijin keeps their promises to keep RP reductions going for next ranks, especially since things are likely to change.

Rank IX will give them so much money if they increased the RP grind to 500K.

Oh premiums will absolutely go that high (but I don’t give a dang about that because they won’t get a cent from me).
But every time they added a rank they lowered the cost of ranks below, and they recently announced economy changes. So I don’t see why that wouldn’t happen again

@Smin1080p_WT Smin before things get out of hand please confirm that the top rewards won’t pass 420K please

Since this guy been spouting out numbers from first 430K to 450K and now 500K in no more than 5 mins

Same reason to why we didn’t see any “top rank” premiums first, then it went to “no max br” premiums, etc…

But like, some vehicles are being moved up to Rank IX as well, making place for more rank VIII vehicles with an average grind of around 350-400K RP, and with all the slightly different C&P import/export vehicles they can add there, they will fill Rank VIII up to the brim.
So imagine the amount of time required to grind 5 Rank VIII vehicles to grind to Rank IX.

Increasing the grind to 500K RP will make Gaijin so much money, especially with the F22 and F35 coming there likely. Since then more people will buy premiums for rank VIII and IX.
It would be foolish by gaijin if they didn’t increase the grind.

It’s insane that Gaijin want people to charge that much for the premium packs when you look at DCS modules. For me WT premiums are £65 but the most expensive DCS packs are £60. Granted DCS is a full on sim but if they can charge just £60 for their full fidelity modules then why are WT premium packs more expensive for less? The closest modules DCS has to WT quality are their Flaming Cliffs packs which cost just £10.99.

Of course they’ll do that, I’m not questioning it. I’m just saying they’ll reduce the grind cost of lower ranks at the same time. Giving players the illusion of an easier grind can be better than just stacking rp like hell

i think Rank VIII will average around 350-400K and Rank IX around 420-480/500K. Or at least 400-450K.

The answer is super simple. There’s always some pigeons out there ready to put whatever price is needed for something that looks cool. There just happens to be a crap load of pigeons

To use Grovm own words your not paying for the aircraft but for the rank of that aircraft, something like that
