I want my account to be transferred so I can play on one device just give your community a proper heads up when the service is available. Not hard

So you want people to pay to be able to pay them more money more easily? What a bizarre thing to advocate for. You don’t need to be advocating for companies for them - that’s their job, not our job as consumers. Your thinking and complacency to accept it (well, you are going one further by suggesting it for some reason), is why gaming is in the state that it’s in. Isn’t it enough for you that’s there’s 12 gorrillion micro transactions, battle passes, skins, loot boxes, DLC’s, premium version, deluxe versions, ultimate versions, memberships and subscriptions? Or do you just want to spend even more?

Yes I just want to spend more money on the pay 2 win game thats why I’m here. The only thing I can’t do with my PlayStation account is access the gaijin storefront, i can still play the game on PC with my PlayStation account. The only reason to want to transfer your account is to access the gaijin storefront.
I’d prefer it be free, but I know that these processes need incentives to be done. $5 seems worth it to me, as manipulating player data is always a risky endeavor.
The incentive is the one that i’ve laid out here multiple times, as well as the other guy. That they’d earn more money by doing so, and the other guy mentioned that they wouldn’t have to give microsoft and sony a cut (which I didn’t even think about but is absolutely right and spot on). The other incentive is player and community happiness and satisfaction. There is no game without the players, and the players are the ones that are funding this game and giving them money since they made it free to play (to extract more money than game companies usually make, hence why more and more games are becoming free to play).
You have to have higher standards and demand more. They already get enough money out of the average player - or else they’d pack up and shut it down. If they want more money, they should improve their game and service, and make spending more money justified and worthwhile.
A process that would earn them more money should not be monetised, and you don’t need to be making that argument for them. If they want to make that argument, they can - but it doesn’t benefit you (it goes against your interests, it is only in their interest to do this), so why would you?

Lol I downloaded the game through steam years ago and still continue to play it through steam right now, (I have over 1000 hours into the game in steam) only time ive ever even opened the gaijin launcher is to force an update when steam was being slow. Just got out of a match actually, so maybe you are mistaken?
And yet this is exactly what happened for me. Since you are wrong about the steam thing, maybe you should go back and check this as well.
Left click and hold,
then drag cursor over what needs to be copied,
release left click,
right click on highlighted information a option box appears,
left click on “copy”,
go to where ever you need the info copied and right click again opening the option box,
left click paste
Viola! Copy paste has been around in Windows since at least Windows 95 (thats the earliest ive used)
Unless Gaijin uses apple products, which if thats the case that would explain so much…
This right here is part of the main issue. If you arent even sure yall are even offering the service, why do I still see that notifacation for it when I log in here. And “if” yall do continue the service, why not simply announce it regularly instead of trying to hide it.

I dont even know what garbage this is…
The incentive for gaijin is that the player pays them directly and microsoft or sony doesnt get a cut. The incentive is also that the player would have access to the market place/sales thereby giving the player more opportunity to give gaijin money.
Gaijin does nothing but make money from the transfers, and yet you think they need more?
lol

😂 anytime, and for the record I do agree with you on principle, I just don’t have as much faith in Gaijin.

As many years as this has gone on, its just fun for me watching the devs dance around and not address the announcement and hiring more people for this process issues.
I have no faith in them either, but maybe I can annoy them into making a change since asking nicely doesnt do anything.

To be clear what happens to the account on console when you transfer does it wipe it off the console? If so is it impossible to log back in on console? Asking so i can be aware next time transfer is available. If you can explain to me thank you.
Im just trying to access the gaijin market to buy tanks and skins but if i cant continue to play on console or re-login on console I probably wont transfer {if it even
locks me out of console play}
The key part is ‘years ago’, it’s not allowed anymore for several years at this point.
Unlike you I know exactly how this works, and you’re confused about your different accounts.
The store notification for console accounts was already updated and the mention of transfer was removed since it’s unknown if it’s ever going to resume.
Must still be allowed on some level as Im still doing it, and not having any issues.
Obviously you dont, and I dont have multiple accounts. I actually refuse to make multiple accounts, hence why Gaijin is loosing out on me playing/paying into Star Conflict and Enlisted untill I can get my account fixed as I dont want to waste the money only to loose the purchases and progress in the transfer.
Actually, I cant even play Enlisted at all even if I wanted to, and Ive tried out Star Conflict and really liked it.
I know youd like to believe Im on here lying out my ass, as that would be easiest for you, but sadly Im not.
You talk to a developer but you know more than him ?

You should be able to continue to play on console. Essentially, the transfer will make a copy of your current console account but solely for PC. At that point you would have 2 separate accounts, one for PC and one for console, but progress and purchases wont cross between them anymore.
When he is saying that I cant do something that Ive been doing for years then what he knows is off.
Ive been arguing with different devs over this issue for years, and i wish i had saved screen shots because its like they are just copying their responses from a book.
Im not arguing that the transfer process itself needs to go away, even though there are a multitude of other games on the market that dont need this, but that how Gaijin handles the transfer process is needlessly stupid and drawn out.
Even if they didnt change how the process works at all there is 2 easy things they could do to speed it up.
- Clearly announce when the process is available.
As ive stated before, if they announced their new vehicle packs the same way they announced the transfer process they would hardly make any sales. - Hire more staff to work on the transfer process.
Every time they suspend the transfers its due to a “high volume of inquiries”. But since Gaijin does nothing but benefit from transferring accounts, would it not make sense to hire staff to keep up with demand?
so basically defeating the entire reason of me wanting to do it i wanted to buy stuff specifically so i can have it on console aswell and i shouldn’t bother.
Pretty dumb that i cant just use my account that was made on console.
thanks for letting me know so i don’t waste more time thinking about it!

assuming there’s no way to somehow log the “new” account onto a console if there’s not then I’m just gonna bother ever looking into transferring.
its pretty dumb how several other games i play can share purchases and items across platforms but WT cant even do skins or give consoles access to the market or even a limited version of it. its just plain dumb.
