People actually purchased the tirptiz black? Let me guess: 'well, I was going to get one anyways', 'It was quite a good deal', ' I'm a collector'. Hahaha, just kidding, but it does make me laugh. We're such a silly bunch of humans and so programmable despite our best efforts. Next month, pink tirpitz , and we'd still buy it again and again. I use the word 'we' quite loosely so as not to marginalise anyone (on purpose).

I agree, but we should remember that younger people are at different stages of cognitive development and cannot always make sound rational judgement in everything. This is not just about parenting. In this sense they're vulnerable.

Was sitting on the toilet thinking of all of you while trying to soothe my proverbial constipation when I came across this little article posted today: https://news.sky.com/story/video-game-loot-boxes-blamed-for-rise-in-young-problem-gamblers-11559402 Won't be long now and we'll start seeing this type of stuff filtering down to us open-wallet types of pond scum. WG will probably make hay while the sun shines, so be prepared for a storm of lovely loot boxes, haha.

Just not a fan of another grindfest, hate the idea.

What are we talking about??

Can you add more credits to this too @MrConwayI know lots of people have lots and lots of credits, but I'm not one of them. Never was a good with saving money. So what do you say? Give us even more than more for nothing?

fully agree

Yeh, definitely not bothering with any long grinds anymore. All it does is ensure numbers for WG, but takes away from the enjoyment. Thankfully we have a choice and I'm not that bothered with low tier ships.

Lol, I've raged loads after game, wouldn't ne surprised to see a couple of mine here. Might have to change name (again). Dammit!

Take care of yourself sunshine, try think before you react next time and we could avoid all this. Best regards.

A rather weak comeback, and rather stale in the face of my original idea, but at least you tried. Well done my boy.

I would think the one needing a little calm here is you, you appear to be quite tense, but I recognise you're only projecting and probably don't really know how to recognise it yourself. The least you could do is to try be graceful when you're found wanting ol fella. Thanks for the insight as to why you like having two flags flying. Maybe WG could add a third for you one day, but you might just feel yourself overwhelmed with emotion. Could one truly experience a three flag aesthetic and not be overcome by it? I guess only time will tell. have fun, and remember, 'manners maketh the man'. You're realise your answers only make you sound like a simpleton? I was wondering why people liked it beyond just an amoeba-like response, but if you have nothing more substantial then I guess I can see why they added an almost purely subjective aesthetic features like second flags, i.e. to keep the mindless amongst us dazzled by pretty colours and to appeal to the patriotism (borderline nationalism), culturalism and historically minded amongst us. The flags occupy quite a sizable part of the port, but add very llittle in terms of overall depth to the gameplay. In fact, the port is the only place we truly really see them. I hardly ever look at mine and would quite happily have the entire section removed. My opinion of course, maybe shared by some, certainly not by 'everyone'.

250 dubloons 5 zulu and 5 juliet charlie..thanks WG :)

WG Player Support self-help page: Do you feel lonely at night and want to make friends? Did someone say something nasty to you? Did someone sink your ship? Were you torpedoed unfairly? Did the enemy CV nuke your dd or keep you spotted all game? Is there a clan member from a clan you don't like? Are you a sadist? Does jealously permeate your every fibre in your body? Do you prefer to blame everyone else rather than accept it might just be you? Well, for every one of these, AND MORE, we have just the thing you need and it's already in the game. No more long messages, screenshot uploads and fiddly tickets to our support line, no more waiting for a response several weeks later or getting a response that doesn't even remotely make sense or relate to what you complained about or asked, no more frustration. We offer you INSTANT PUNISHMENT, we offer you:

Explain to me where in my post I assumed 'everyone' feels the same as me? Further, I asked why anyone would want two flags, beyond just a 'because I like it' response. Surely there is motivation of some sort or is it purely a subjective aesthetic?

Anyone cheating is scum, low-life trash with no self-respect. Irrespective of who it is, they all deserve the same treatment and fate. Vile cowardly creatures hiding behind their need to maintain perfect stats or get the better of others without earning it. There is no cliff high enough to throw them off.

On another note, and one bound to get me some very nasty looks, I played a game last night which in terms of my own opinion sealed the fate of cv's for me. I am really happy they are being reworked, even if so dramatically at present. I played my dd and got into a tier 6-8 game which had a Graf Zeppelin on the opposing team. Long story short this guy ended on 7 kills and could've got 10 easily just flying his 3 AP bomb squads around killing stuff, killing a tier 7 German bb in one drop, then a Bismarck, then dd's, then cruisers, etc. and double-striking it a few times too. Our cv player licks windows for a living. No defence against a cv like this and simultaneously having a neanderthal in a cv on your team is disaster and tempts a person to simply just quit the game. As long as WG do the right thing and offer very reasonable compensation to cv mains.

39 battles first time, 24 battles this last time. #gettingeasierbythesecond

How is this trolls thread still active?

Another ship for free xp, and soon. Getting bored from waiting for all these test ships to come out of testing....

Insanely underwhelming. The collections are ok, but starting to take on the same flavour now as all the others, repetitive and unimaginative. What's the point of mounting two flags anyone? Aesthetics? For who, just the user? How about a flag with some minor perks? The containers are boring as blazes, where is the special chance item in these? What is the point of all this again? Nah, the value I place in this type of stuff is really low. For others it's different no doubt.

WG will have to be quite generous and accommodating here because this is a sweeping change and people have expended quite a bit of time and effort pursuing the line. What comes through clearly in discussions in this thread is that people value things in different ways, and their need for 'compensation' of some kind will depend on the extent to which they valued their cv's and time. It shouldn't be used as a 'get rich quick' scheme. The changes are happening, and the fair thing to do would be to offer refund in doubloons spent (or cash) and perhaps extra something for the time and inconvenience. Refunds do not ordinarily provide extra, when you return something to the shop, or something is recalled, all you are really ever offered is your money back. Tricky bit of business for their PR department, be interesting to see how this plays out.

You've over-thought it all again haven't you? Tongue in cheek because your initial post was riddled with barnum-type statements. Some of my comments are generalisations and some not, most of my comments are subjective based on personal experience and should not be taken as proverbial gospel. A bad player telling a better player that the better player is bad player is a stupid thing is it not? This is what I implied but perhaps should have been clearer. A lot of my experience comes from playing around 35000 games in WoT, and quite a few in Wows. I'm no spring chicken and certainly do not need a presumed 'new guy' trying to put the world to rights in the vein of some know-it-all because he decided he has a mission. You're trying to preach to the choir - perhaps you've assumed we're ignorant and do not know much of what you say to be relatively true? I know how things can be read from a textbook, i know how in a utopian society all could work exactly as you perhaps say it could (assuming you are correct in the first place), but then real life happens and people don't always act reasonably. Your arguments would best be served to new players in my most humble opinion, not seasoned forumites who've long since tasted the reality of the game, it's community, and it's often hated but much loved overlord, WG. My basic experiences show that many people don't like being told how they should act unless the person 'advising' them comes from a position of respect of some sort. Have a great day, pops!

Yes, me too because it offered no discount. They must have changed it for sure.
