I have zero clue if this is your 1st, 2nd or 3rd account - but imho you might look up what happened 13 (!!!) months ago - and not “a couple of years ago”.
This might be also a translator issue - i wrote “actual” and not “current”. So if i refer clearly to “pre-May 2023” there is no “if”.
So your statement:
…is simply based on the time frame you are looking at.
Every player active for more than 3-5 years gets tears in the eyes if he compares his SL/RP income from games he played in 2020 with today…
Even new mechanics (like the “severe damage”) are accompanied by income nerfs, but the majority of players is unable to identify them.
Read my 2 previous posts again - and you might notice that your reply is not dealing with what i wrote - it is a matter of how to increase player commitment (=dopamine / endorphin rush) at all cost, so effects similar to gambling have other goals than actual gambling functionalities…
When that boycott happened everyone gave every reason under the sun for it to be happening, every time frame that suited them, demanded everyone do it, that everyone who didn’t was a shill… The fact that from there EVERY time someone is disagreed with they bring out the boycott as a ‘But it happened’ as a cover-all threat, is just deminishing the effect it ever even had.
And what it brought? The economy changes, which people were still upset and displeased with.

It’s my only account, and I corrected my statement later. Also, how dare you accuse me of breaching Gaijin’s terms of service. One account ONLY. No more.

Not true, I’ve been active for more than that time period and I’m actually getting more SL and RP income today than I was pre-2020.
Also…
It is basically a wager on unknown circumstances - you gamble.
Your words I believe, Wick. You admitted yourself that boosters are gambling.
And what it brought? The economy changes, which people were still upset and displeased with.
I wouldn’t know about that. I love the current economy and wish it could be improved even more. These suggested changes to boosters are one step closer to that.
Your booster wants, aren’t in the same manner, and the fact of dropping the review bombing to try push your agenda, makes it clear that every time someone doesn’t like something, they’ll just pull out the old boycott card on the whim.
It gets tiresome that everyone, pulls that same card, to push their threat. It becomes very empty and hollow after a while when you do that.

First off, boycotting and review-bombing are not the same thing.

Fair enough. I was simply using it as an example, as proof of how the community has forced Gaijin to make changes like this before.
I see no benefit for me to reply to your “believes” - the experience gap between you and me is obviously way too large - and from my pov you have either a very bad translator or some serious issues with reading comprehension.
There is nothing wrong with stating fact-free opinions, but there is also nothing wrong with ignoring such opinions.
I kindly ask you to stop pinging or quoting me, thx for understanding!
Other than my misgivings about the optional monetization aspects, I see it as an overall plus. I find the implementation of it all to be highly unlikely, but best of luck nonetheless.
English native speaker, reading comprehension is very good. College-level in fact, my english teachers gave me top marks. (I write as a hobby and my pieces are well-received.)
My statements are not fact-free, they are all filled with facts in fact. Your PoV on the other hand, is obviously extremely blurry.
If you have a problem with some of my statements, the problem lies squarely in your own mind. I kindly ask you to take your own advice, the adults are talking and we do not appreciate comments from the peanut gallery.
i suggested boosters for players like me who cant spend a lot of time on here that get wasted IE!! 20 games boosters .
I like to see a selectable booster system where you can pick the booster amount ( 5,10 etc} that you can play .
Odd number boosters would be nice not just 1 or 5 how about 3,7,9 ?
i waste so many boosters seems a pity we cant select the amount we can easily play
Same person calling War Gaming games more realistic than War Thunder because of American propaganda. Just because tanks can’t be one-shot in WoT and one time an American tank luckily survived a shot doesn’t mean shit. Just because you listen to propaganda saying American military vehicles are “tough” doesn’t mean those same vehicles aren’t one-shot constantly in real life. You rely entirely upon your biases instead of facts, and believe yourself smart when you instead are quite low in intelligence.
They can, but do not consistently do. One-shots easily take out tanks. Ammunition explosions frequently destroy tanks, even when such ammunition is stored under blowout panels. Spalling from one hit can take out the majority of a tank crew. Accurate artillery hits can easily destroy a tank. And you call such mechanisms, which are modelled to an extent in War Thunder, unrealistic compared to health bars?
A health bar is only one unrealistic mechanism. War Thunder has multiple unrealistic mechanisms.
Most tanks, again speaking specifically about modern ones, can take more than one or two hits. It might take three, it might take ten, but IRL no modern tank is ever going to be taken out by a single shot. World War 2 Shermans, they are not.
And you still haven’t addressed the other two parts of this, namely aircraft and warship toughness. Explain to me how, IRL, a modern aircraft can be taken out by a sniper shot from another aircraft’s internal cannon, to the aircraft’s cockpit?
Explain to me how a battleship can be taken out by a single, low-caliber shell hit? Or by a machine gun?
Do that, then try telling me that that’s more realistic than a health bar.
