My guess is he’s the broke teenager that relies on busy people to buy his coupons as he can’t afford anything else. Lol.
No actual player of any game ever would oppose making a grind easier, ever. Dude is clearly a Gaijin puppet

Emphasis added by me. As someone with a social life, I do see issues with that. And your math is off, sleeping for 6 hours? 12 hours working? And you have energy left over after that? Puh-leeze.
Here’s my math: I get up at 08h00. I have 1 hour for breakfast with my partner, then we both need to work. I work from home (so yes I can cheat and cheese in a few games here and there during work hours, but let’s assume I don’t) until 12h00. Then 1 hour for lunch with my partner, and back to work at 13h00 - I finish work (nominally) at 18h00. Then there’s 2 hours for cooking and eating dinner with my partner. Usually after that, there’s things to do, like watch some series (because my partner feels it’s a little bit anti-social if I sit here playing vidya games and not spending time with her), shower, maybe some random conversation will break out, and so on. My partner goes to bed at 22h00 - at which point I could play vidya games except by then I’m already tired, so at most I’ll cheese in an hour or so of gameplay.
So I have a max of 2 hours to play. If I’m feeling it. And happy fun sexy time doesn’t suddenly happen around bedtime. And assuming we didn’t have friends over for dinner. Also assuming I’m not working (because I’m on call). And assuming I’m not playing other games I might like to play.

Yeah that argument doesn’t hold up very well - it only holds up well if it was the only way to obtain the vehicle. But it isn’t. You can buy it on the marketplace after. You can buy stages.
So it’s not about merit - it’s about are you willing to spend money on the snail today. You want it for free? Then you will have to work for it - otherwise, cough up them GE/GJN.

Yeah you have to play 4 hours of battles every day if you want the tradable coupon.
You can think it’s too much or not, I personally support this cause it removes the ability to purchase the coupon.
As for 45000, it’s actually closer to 34000 after the multiplier if you’re playing rank 5 vehicles, more for rank 4, less for rank 7.
And ~34000 points if you get 1200 a match for 8 minutes per match is 9000 per hour, and you’d have the 34000 necessary score in around 3 hours 47 minutes playing rank 5.
I think it’s okay to make the sale on the marketplace correspondingly difficult.
However, I find it questionable to tie the general acquisition of the vehicle to such high conditions.
Because that’s exactly what divides the community. A few will always painfully remind a large proportion that they will have no chance of achieving these things.
Gaijin should also make its financial cut. However, I also find this questionable due to cheap tricks with “special offers” and an extreme shortage of supply and a significant increase in demand.
They are currently trying out how far they can go. But they don’t seem to realise that many players have already “quit” internally.
And that doesn’t mean that these players not only don’t take part in the event but also run the risk of withdrawing from the game completely. Do we want that?
The high number of players may be a good thing. Has the quality of battles improved? I don’t think so… does the upcoming grind help players get better?
It affects all of us whether we like it or not. And in the end the decision is not “do I take part in the event, yes or no” but rather “do I continue playing WT, yes or no”

I don’t buy your logic. I would oppose to make the grind of exotic vehicles easier, because I like to keep them exotic. As I have pointed out several times, it is impossible that we all have that rare vehicle. Because if we all have it, it isn’t rare.
And I would rather play a game that resembles history than have hordes of captured Tigers battle hords of captured Shermans. I don’t want exotic to be the new mainstay. So I am fine with it being rare, even if that means that I don’t have it.
Otherwise, you might as well place it in the free tree.
I’d say this decision will come eventually, events or not.

I think many want things so bad and Gaijin knows this and plays with it. It creates a toxic environment between those who don’t feel compelled to do this grind and those who feel compelled but actually have a choice.
It’s the same with the CAS topic. As a player you always have a choice… even if you don’t like the answer.

You’re self-rationalized being denied and taken advantaged of as a good thing.
Your Stockholm Syndrome is showing…
The game is already ahistorical AF. Everyone having equal access to the content isn’t going to change that.

I am not grinding it…
I am not buying it…
And I try not to insult others here but use reasoning. Why don’t you try too?
I don’t know where you get that it has x10 more players than wot. I have played both since the beginning and Wot had many more simultaneous, not long ago WT did not exceed 50k. I left Wot years ago I don’t know how many it will have now but I doubt 10 times less.
This event is an infamous farm. Whichever way you look at it, it’s for lifeless tryhards. I’m talking about being able to sell it, keeping it is an annoying but achievable effort.
To do it quickly already forces me to play certain tier and tanks.
Luckily it is not mandatory to do so.

If you have a magical apple tree that creates an infinite amount of apples, why would you make them exclusive and not available to 99% of the population

Its not an insult. Its an observation.
So I can call someone stupid and say it is an observation?
I didn’t call you stupid.
And for selling it, you are trying to get a financial benefit from the play, it is akin to work in that regard.
So having people require an input of hours to be able to get a financial boon, be it ingame currency or not which they can use in replacement of real money means comparing to IRL money is fair.
Ingame 40-45 hours with the aim of selling it, which is the main objective of getting the upgrade, no other reason to do so, is £500-1000 in real terms income of work hours lol. Its OTT. There needs to be some kind of limiter balance on that.
It isnt about getting it to keep, its about objectively getting it to SELL it.
In fact, Chinese do not have much free time during the Spring Festival, you must understand that for Chinese, most of the time is busy socializing. I try to explain in a way that you can understand, that the Spring Festival is like Christmas for Chinese, but it lasts at least 7 or 15 days, and in fact, some more traditional families have already started to prepare before that. So, do you play games on Christmas Day? Apparently not, otherwise it would be pitiful. Of course, neither will we, as Chinese.
My math is off? It’s what I’m doing already, where’s the issue?
0500 - wake up
0530 - shower / clothing, hygiene shit
0600 - prepped for work, grabbing anything else i’d need for the day, small snack
0700 - At work! Woo!
0930-1000 - another snack, just a little break otherwise
1300-1400 - Lunch time! I can usually get a few matches in here, if not goofing off irl
1630-1700 - This one’s mainly just games.
1900 - work over, time for home!
1900-1930 - dinner, socialize, blah blah blah. If it was a shitty day, sometimes a second shower.
1930-2300/2400 - play some games
This is the heaviest day I can possibly have, too.
Imagine now having other expendables to do your job outside of your work time?
What job do you have, if you don’t mind me asking?
