you can name yourself a duck for all I care, its irrelevant to me
Apparently it is relevant to you.
what you name yourself is irrelevant to me,
what you complain about while posturing with that name is mildly entertaining, but keep malding bro
he’s not the one being stupid here.
you seem to be void of it from this posts sentiment
My joke of a username completely flew over both your heads, I don’t think either are you are in the position to call anyone stupid. I’ll explain it so you both can understand. I play top tier, therefor is no uptier to leave. A play on words also known as a joke.
Whilst your pov makes sense i am not sure if your expectations towards gaijin are realistic as they do not really care about your game play related points if sales are good.
Your crew lock issue is a kind of punishment to play not by their rules and won’t go away as it is essential for their strategy to deal with unsatisfied customers:
Refusing to play on the same (unliked) map for 5 times in a row or being accompanied by the brightest and most skilled wt can offer (sarcasm) and to question their mantra “every vehicle has a realistic fighting chance vs an opponent in the same class even in a full uptier” needs to be punished with a crew lock.
The only logical consequence would be to declare one tank owners as “nation-free” and allocate them in equal numbers to both teams. But this won’t happen as they would acknowledge that there might be problem.
Have a good one!
Edit: Grammar…
Edit II: Even more grammar…
I dunno man, maybe a lengthy signature or disclaimer in your posts would help us “stoopids” understand your fantastical and whimsical sense of humour,
Alternatively, you could be self aware of posting about leavers with a name denoting leaving?
Annnyways, yeah 1 death leavers suck, maybe have more “packs” like the tiger pack in germany, thats a line up in 1
Well said, it would be nice if certain tanks were decompressed to battle this issue. It would be nice if there was a different version of RB not nation locked. Thanks, you too.
Premium ODL problem is a thing for years and isn’t just affecting US or top tier.
I remember when certain premiums were hot just like Click-Bait is now, like L/44, XM-1, TURMS, etc. and let me tell you, they ruined whole tiers for months and Gaijin didn’t care in the slightest.
half the comments in this post are about nicknetsm and sense of humor
in fact, you just need to wait and “wallet warriors” will disappear from the top tier themselves
I agree with you, perhaps a limitation from playing GRB with only one tank in that tier would help. At least that would keep more competitive play safe.
Not by choice…
How so? Think they’ll get tired and quit? I usually see around 6 Clickbaits with level 50s or lower playing them per battle. Unfortunately I think they are just too many of them.
So many good solutions have been proposed but all would hurt the sales of top tier premiums, so Gaijin will never consider implementing them.
The most likely solution for this problem is to add premium packs of 3 vehicles at the same BR, so new players have something to spawn.
I vote the opposite: People that leave games when they can still spawn more vehicles ARE the problem of this game and are a big reason why USA is struggling in ground at higher BRs. Keep spawning like T-1000. Crew lock should be increased 500% for those who are found to one-death-leave on a constant basis - 1000% for those who think they cannot compete in up-tiers and just bail instead. And you think you’re joking with your username because you play top-tier, while the joke is on you because USA has terrible winrates at top-tier. No one is forcing you to play top-tier USA ground. So many good line-ups for USA, and that’s the one you want to roll with? Got that Abrams poster on your wall, aye? Lets be honest, Gaijin is doing you a favour crewlocking you out of top-tier USA battles. They’re trying to get you to wake up. When I play USA it’s generally around 6.7-7.7, and it’s a good time, to say the least.

I praised Gaijin for doing this with the Tigers pack. Inclusion of the Ostwind II was/is fantastic.
So you say leaving in one death is “poisoning top tier” but then complain that you aren’t allowed to leave after one death without repercussion?
I am not sure if “wait” is a viable strategy.
The best example was the issue with German/Italian prop fighters at 5.0. 85% of my matches in the Italian P-47 at 5.0 were full uptiers in 6 vs 6 matches allocated to another poor soul and 4 Ju 288s fighting 6 US/UK fighters. In 40% of my matches my whole team was dead before i was even above 4 km alt - so i had to land and j out as it makes zero sense to fight in such conditions.
The only difference to the “turn-off crew lock” request as stated in the OP is that the time to climb and rtb was about 6-7 minutes and the game ended almost immediately after leaving the match.
And this lasted for at least 3 years and only got better with the Yak-3U spam - which effectively introduced a hard deck limit of 7 km as this things eats you alive at lower alt…
You can literally tell 5 minutes into a match if it’s going to be a loss or not. Why should I be outgunned once all of the premium users loose their top tier tank? You then get them spawning in low tier garbage which just feeds the enemy SP. Basically half the team is gone within the first 5 minutes. I should just keep playing and incur repair costs, marks on my battle record, and fight a battle I’m already aggravated playing? I play to have fun, not be beaten like I’m already a dead horse.
See above
8 People sub level 80. Yes it was a win but think of how much SP the opposite team acquired from free kills. I wouldn’t mind if it was one or two on either team but this is every single match. A guy lost his clickbait spawned in an m16 and drove out into the middle of the map like he thought he was able to do anything.
Some of the most fulfilling battles are where you think the battle is lost but you hang in there and end up winning by the skin of your teeth. But given the actual winrates of US vehicles at top-tier, you’re probably right. I wouldn’t subject myself to that rubbish, and generally avoid BRs where these premium players amass. Though, if you have premium account then repair costs are not even a factor, and sometimes you can get a bucket of SL and RP while being spawn camped at the end of the battle. Especially if they’re rolling around your spawn not taking in account your spawn protection. I always have the vehicle to spawn if I need to take out enemies rapidly within the spawn.
Example:

Getting spawn camped ended up netting me nice SL and RP, as the enemy got cocky in their spawn camping.
I do understand your frustrations, but I’d never become a one-death-leaver regardless. I’d sooner just not play that nation at that BR until things improve. If I had my way, they would have never added high-top-tier premiums or squadron vehicles to begin with. They do nothing for the game and only bring it down.
There’s a fine line between between the two, I can usually tell if I can do anything with the way things are going. If it’s completely hopeless (example 4 people left on my team 8 on the other team) I leave. There’s little point in continuing.
I do this as well when I’m committed to a game lol
On some maps you can pretty confidently tell that 30 seconds after spawning, depending on where your team goes after spawning.
I doubt anything is changing soon because Gaijin wants money and they’re willing to sacrifice the gameplay for that.
Take the crew lock and play some other nation.
