Now sure, your point stands for us experienced players who WILL use a high rank premium to reach top tier, but many of the low tier buyers will not use that to reach top tier, instead they will typically buy something like the clickbait on sale, play it for 50-150 games, getting sick of it in the process since they are inexperienced and that will in turn lead to frustration at the high tiers;
This barely occurred with vehicles like the TURMS and Type-16 FPS since both give a taste as to what’s to come, while also getting users used to key features of the tech tree, without having access to the best technology/round
That’s the thing; people like OP rage against “new players” on a lobby full of Premiums, blaming them… then it turns out 10 out of 12 of those Premiuns are Level 100s.
In many ocasions, the one-death leaving Level 100s don’t even have a Premium vehicle; they just leave after one death because they rage-quit, don’t like the map, blame their team, or whatever.
I’m just tired of this targeted hate towards “Premium noobs” and people claiming that they are the source for all one-death leaving problems in Top Tier.
Should I magically accept people who swipe a credit card and buy an entire tech tree without putting even an inch of effort? to me, that’s just insulting. It discredits those who put in actual worth and effort by saying “HEY Fudge you” your effort means nothing.
Yet people keep liking OP’s post claiming that “half of the players were below level 25” even though I proved that 10 OUT OF 12 OF THEM were Level 100s.
So you basically hate them because you are jealous of them for being able to spend the money they earned working on a videogame they enjoy instead of, uh… (checks notes) “not putting actual worth and effort into grinding”?
I don’t have an issue with them, or I didn’t
My issue currently is with gaijin’s greed, not the purchasing habits of a new player.
If gaijin had implemented more rank 6 premiums to increase the diversity of available vehicles, without granting new players access to the very top BR range, this still allows them to play something they enjoy, without bloating Top tier, while in the process not having fun and also dragging their teams down with them.
Once again this is all you’re doing right now.
Me: I hate A
You: So you hate B
This is what you’re doing, you are making assumptions rather than bothering to read.
So let me make this simple, I do not tolerate Wallet Warriors
They are not people who buy a prem and use it.
They are 2 separate categories.
Wallet Warriors pay tons of money to buy out an entire tree without a care in the world.
Premium Vehicle Users disassociated with Wallet Warriors use a prem vehicle to make their life easier everyone does this including me.
I don’t care if you are talking about Premiums, GE’ing whole tech trees, or whatever. My point is exactly the same in any case.
You are hating people because they choose to spend money over “real effort” because “it’s a middle finger to those who put effort”, as if we were talking about some real life social issue and not A VIDEOGAME.
My issue, as I have already stated (and you have ignored) is the vehicles themselves, I am interested in the enjoyment of the game for all parties, but I will always prioritise the enjoyment of someone who has invested time into the game over someone who has invested money. The problem with high ranking premiums is that is allows players (new or level 100s) access to the highest BR, without a lineup and sometimes without the experience required to perform well at that tier and in that vehicle, this applies for all players and not just new ones.
I swear someone mentioned that when the Chinese server shut down, that because they migrated back to the main servers, they ended up having premiums gifted to them to compensate or something.
Which I fully do not have a problem with because they were losing the server, but also their progress.
Because this is how video games die, if you hand over the prize for hundred of hours of progress to a fresh new player, this ability to bypass the ‘grind’ is a sign to people who did that grind (especially poor F2P players at top tier) that the development team is prioritising money over the game, and that leads to boycotts, review bombing, ETC or just leaving the game outright.
No, seriously that’s understandable. Same as if you were given a prem vehicle as compensation that’s fine. That type of is completely fine since it just makes your life slightly easier.
What isn’t fine is when you spend 2000 dollars on game just to clear out several tech treee’s without even bothering to use the vehicle. If you’re not gonna play them why even bother paying?
