Level 0 player with no vehicles other than a T-80UD
Why should a customer not be allowed to spend money on a product that interests them?
Maybe this person joined War Thunder expecting and hoping to play with modern machines because he likes them, but would rather support the developers and the game by spending 70 bucks to gain access to them instantly than to spend a year grinding towards them through vehicles and eras they are not interested in.
EDIT: in just 4 matches, this player is already Level 3 and has 5 kills (one of them being an air kill) to 6 deaths, which is quite respectable for a new player. Let them have their fun, they aren’t even bad.

Long story short, People work / Study or have family matters to take care of. Or might hate early game. You don’t know everyones circumstances.
As to why is it allowed, it’s a free to play game. So i think you can figure out why :P

why do you care? let him spend his money
I heavily despise Wallet Warriors however, this is one vehicle. So I can tolerate them. It’s A a SPOOF Account or B, which is some random person who doesn’t have much time to grind and will take a long time to figure it out anyway.

You heavily despise the players who have allowed War Thunder to be actively developed and maintained for 10 years (and counting)?

Literally 10 out of 12 Premiums are Level 100s, including all 5 one-death leavers. Did you think we couldn’t check the usernames?
Are you going to make a post about all of these Level 100s too, or are one-death-leaving-Premiums suddenly not a problem here?

My only problem with them is joining chill custom battles killing L3s and tryng to do the same to other tanks in custom battles, for the normal ones, there just free kills

They are fine to do what they want in a monetary sense, but gaijin’s decision to allow them to purchase premiums in rank 7/8 and with similar if not identical performance to end of the line or very desirable tt vehicles was a massive mistake, one that can’t really be reverted
The game was much, much more healthy back when rank 6 premiums were the highest rank premiums you could access, especially since they were also relegated to the 9.7-10.3 region, allowing top tier to remain as a desirable end goal for people, now you can buy a rank 7 premium tank that does the same, if not better than the top tier tech tree vehicles…

It’s allowed because Gaijin has to make money somehow for a F2P kind of game.
A feature that will help a lot is when there is 1 vehicle in the Line up, it will automatically give the premium vehicle 2 or 3 free spawns. That way, it will prevent ODL for players with 1 vehicle. Once there is more than 1, say 2+ vehicles, it will go back to normal on costing SP to spawn and using back up cards. That to me is one huge way on stopping this kind of ODL for premium vehicles. But only allowed for Premium tank vehicles, not normal TT vehicles or event vehicles or even air premium vehicles.

Top Tier is still the end goal for many people, primarily modern vehicle enthusiasts.
Rank 7 Premiums merely allow us to get there quicker skipping all previous tiers we don’t want to play for months till finally getting to the vehicles we are actually interested in.
People get Rank 7 Premiums precisely to get to the top quickly, not to settle playing a single vehicle forever…
So, in any case, it’s the opposite; Top Tier premiums are an excellent tool to grind to the top.
I know many people, including friends and myself, who would never bother to grind to Top Tier, let alone on additional trees, without the use of Top Tier Premium.

Consumer protection laws, as well as just being good to consumers ethically.
Except they don’t, because owning something like the Clickbait or Fuji promotes complacency while grinding, since you already have access to M829A2 in the former’s case, and the 4 second reload in the latter’s, both are defining traits of their respective nation’s top tier MBTs, allowing the buyer to instantly gain access to a large portion of the top tier experience that they should have to grind for
There are people who buy premiums when they start and never touch the game afterwards. If they have chinese usernames they are probably either bots, account farmers, or both combined with cheats as well.
Not really. I have never seen anyone state such a thing.
The whole point and goal of Premium Rank 7s is to allow modern vehicle enthusiasts to grind a Rank 7 lineup quickly, because we are just not willing to spend months stuck through older vehicles until then.
Of course being able to do such grind with a vehicle you already enjoy is one of the main appeals.
We don’t buy a Rank 7 Premium and are suddenly like: “yes, I will have fun playing a single vehicle without any kind of lineup forever, i no longer have to grind for anything”…
