The old “pandemic era” events need to come to a close

I take breaks from the grb grind due to general tiredness and do it over 2 days.

Or well, practically unlimited. These will last after the event too :)

3 or 4 games and I’m bored of War Thunder, just the same old repetition.

if you don’t have fun playing the game i guess you don’t. I find it fun.

I was just on coinmarketcap and something caught my eye that probably aptly describes the situation around the events …

Sorry, but I don’t find the relation between what I said and what you said. Not at all. Could you please explain?

(Edit: Flexing with only 79 backups? LOL ;-) )

(I actually replied to you in the anti air event thread, but that thread is going the way of the Dodo…)

I had a similar amount of backups, but I’ve run out already lmfao…

I have done all 3 events in the past, but realized that it takes the fun out of it. Personally, I found ground to be the worst. The rewards in general are often of little value in the short run, you have to hold them for years. Which in turn means, that you can as well monetize the event without taking part in it.
I agree with you on air, that is fun.

The only reason I will do ground for, is a low tier event vehicle.

To be fair, that is a somewhat idealistic fantasy. Apple is the most profitable company on the Earth, their prices and hardware are de-facto an abuse of customers. It’s not an isolated example either.

I used to be able to play it for hours but the new maps and silly BR raises took the fun out of it. I also did Battle pass and events but the prizes were an insult.

Which ones are less useful than the prizes in this event?

Now try having a life where you might not have 2 hours of wages to spare, since a lot of normal people are struggling more and more through no fault of their own.

If the game wants to be free to play, it should very much revolve less around de-facto requiring people to own premiums or use premium time, on pain of a very tiresome and unfun grind.

Sure you aren’t forced at gunpoint or anything, but the game is just very, very inconvenient with no premium vehicles or premium time.

I don’t think I’m the same person since I tried that 1,000,000 mission score in two weeks that was during the 10th anniversary. I almost did it, was on track but by the time I got to 700,000 I couldn’t anymore.

But for what did you do it in the first place? What was left that would be worth 300 000 mission score?

You were offered 10 rare premiums

I just wonder which one eluded you? If you quit at 700 000, there was at least one you still wanted.

No. I just couldn’t take it anymore.

But if you don’t want any vehicle, why do it?

They have to be? Why?
Why can every other game other there put on fun holiday events, give out free things, cosmetics, items as a celebration of he holidays, but Gaijin can only copy paste another grind event that HAS to profitable?

there is no doubt that gaijin has not always been clean with the consumer, but @simbadumba is right, the events have a multiple purpose, and must be accessible but not too much, furthermore gaijin gives you the possibility to resell those vehicles and monetize with GC to buy other vehicles, while he could only make the vehicles available personally without resale. the 40k points are the right difficulty to access the vehicle, give it exclusivity and therefore value, otherwise they would insert it into the technology tree and that’s it. complaining because you don’t have time to play and unlock it is not a gaijin problem, and as much as I have always been critical of the snail, I cannot expect them to be at my convenience if I can or cannot play, they are a company and first of all they have to monetize, and return to F2P so as not to make false declarations, obviously they don’t give you anything for free. if you don’t have time to dedicate, you need to be aware that you can’t expect anything, and maybe think about changing the game, perhaps one more accessible to your time needs

Bigger game developers generally recognise that growing the player base is long-term a better investment than squeezing as much juice out of the current players as possible.

Gaijin banks hard on the FOMO. Even if people don’t really want to play the vehicle and will probably never use it, they still like owning it, like a collector’s item.
