After playing some more games, I'd dare to make the following hypothesis. This "mm change" was not at all intended to alleviate pain for t5/6/8 cruisers (/ships in general), but to make matchmaking more friendly for the glorious t9 premiums (mainly the bbs of course) Cruisers still being shafted, hard. Often I see not a single bb being low tier, like on this (yes, only one, it is just for illustrating what I mean) image The dreaded tiers haven't changed, except that now tier 7 also sees more +2 tiering, seen a lot of that when going with @El2aZeR And no, I'm not going to play let's say 100 games per tier to prove this - I'm fine with ppl calling this tin foil hat bs - I called it a hypothesis. And I'm not even vaguely interested to go fight missouri's/musashi's/JB's in my myoko clone or whatever.

I do, but that would be bannable...

How dare you people all laugh at this gentleman. I've seen at least 2 games the last week where there were less than five BBs per side. Clearly the numbers are dwindling..

true regarding OP: I just now tried one, I won't make that fault again. Doesn't matter that much to me though, since I find it an extremely unfun and boring mission.

Ops don't count for stats ;)

Don't drink and post. (Also: 'F U Wargaming I'll never buy the First and the Last" vs "not only did I buy the bundle" )

looks more like it got selfaware, looked around & said "what a shitteam", let me shoot myself & end it all.

Cue Benny Hill music Isn't it problematic I have absolutely zero doubt believing this?... I'd really love to see WG's data about the correlation between losing teams vs teams with most shima's.

@El2aZeR come on, do your thing

this is weird. It's not about the points coming down. Games these days are ruined, cause one of two things happen: A. You spend 30 seconds in dock selecting ships and fitting them for a match. You wait 30 seconds min in the MM queue and countdown You wait 2-3 min for the first target to pop up... Boom, your DDs and maybe some cruisers and/or bbs are dead *Sigh* Enabling damage farm mode, falling back B. You spend 30 seconds in dock selecting ships and fitting them for a match. You wait 30 seconds min in the MM queue and countdown You wait 2-3 min for the first target to pop up... Boom, red DDs and maybe some cruisers and/or bbs are dead *Sigh* Enabling rushing to get in some damage mode, chasing reds

it isn't. The op is right, and the horrible dds have been a problem for months in a row now. They just die, for no reason at all, often before anyone else was even able to be in a decent supportive position. Be it on my side or the enemy ones, it is still annoying cause it feels so out of control.

tier 8 seems to be the same bs as it ever was - only limited results of today of course, but I didn't notice any difference.

As I said, it wasn't meant as an insult, but as a description of reality. In this post again you prove you are unable and/or unwilling to read or comprehend what I wrote. It's by definition not an ad hominem either, cause an ad hominem is a (faulty) reasoning form. I didn't call you dumb to make some kind of reasoning, so it isn't an ad hominem. Is gonna be second year knowledge in Psychology, if you ever want to pursue, so you'd better know... Let me share you another (by definition) not ad hominem. I'm dumb too. After my first post on your ventilations here, it should have been clear to me you are not here to argue about (whatever), but just here to spill your rants about some kind of feelings you have about some part of the playerbase. Real or phantasized, doesn't matter at this point, especially with you and your love of projecting. Me not recognizing that, and worse, even enabling you to keep spouting your "views", makes me dumb. Stupid me, will try to avoid.

I'm probably going to confirm whatever nonsense you come up next, but: you realize you are confirming you are just dumb, right? (to explain: no I am not namecalling, this is a description of reality) Once again, no, that is not what I said. (why should I even mention this anymore) I said: there are x ways to get ships. People who want to get those ships, need to do x or shut it. At the same time I did say I didn't like one part of that myself, yea, so what? You are implying from that that it is me who is stupid, because I would be assuming that because I didn't like that part, everyone wouldn't like it (false generalization). Besides that you'd also have me saying I like ppl to "suffer", while all I did a few posts ago that in the end the criteria aren't even that hard. You mean, my position is more clear to you than it is even to myself, even before I said a word, and even when I explained myself a dozen times over? Good one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm And given that I need to provide that link, no, I would not recommend such a career, besides your eagerness to see/hear/read whatever you want to see/hear/read.

Yes. I knew there was a risk that whatever I said, you would say exactly that. Ever considered Freudian analysis as a career choice? You'll make catch-22 arguments all day and be paid for it. I don't care about the new exceptions. If people want to lighten their bank account considerably, be my guest. You did see I never spoke about it, right? Or are your reading skills even worse than I already assumed? Doesn't matter anyway. You just pretend I did say smt about it, and then put imaginary arguments against them in my mouth. Congrats. I also never said anything about my "hardship" to getting steel. Yes, about the last ranked, true, but that was because I missed one season of CB and was impatient. So I chose for it. And I quite like CBs, as do most people. You just want to put your stereotype of "suffering, but unwilling to admit it, low life gamer" onto whomever disagrees with you. Once again you're continuing with putting words/thoughts in my head, and at the same time making your genius quack analysis about said fantasized words/thoughts. Best example would be lol? Besides the only thing showing here is you being a joke, you might want to worry about that blatant lack of distinction between reality and fantasy.

Wow. I have no idea what's up with the incoherence/evading and the attempt to make a popular-psychological profile of me. Cause in the end it is beyond irrelevant. The very, very simple story is, WG decided to have a reward for Clan Battles, to entice players. Originally this were going to be stalingrad flags, but in the mean time this has changed to steel. Which gave something like: You play x amount of CB seasons - You get x amount of flags/steel - You can exchange flags/steel for ship Simplified as a rule: IF you want ship -> it necessarely implies you play CBs. That's just how WG decided it. Corrolary is: if you don't play CBs -> no ship for you. And people like you come here "whaa whaa but I don't want any of that, even though you clearly stated it was necessary, and I want the reward ANYWAY, cause whatever", at the same time namecalling anyone who tells you to piss off with your sense of entitlement, and making up cheap pseudopsychological BS about whatever might be my reasons to do so? Please. You can read. Ship requires x, x requires time and effort. If no time and effort, F off.

Don't care what other people say. You said that I have an immense desire to see NOBODY BUT ME driving whatever ships. While the only desire I truly expressed is not seeing the zombies drive them. What I also explained was that there are plenty of options to get the required steel, and (implicitly) that everyone could find these options. They do require time and effort. But apparently that is going too far. Which, ironically, also includes said zombies (theoretically, they could find a clan that drags their asses, or, some of them go through thousands of ranked games. But at least they still put in the effort and the time. It is you who is putting certain ideas in or behind my words, ideas I certainly did not express.

You're having a hard time with reading and understanding, right?

I only gave two BB skills, because in the end, besides going back to 5 pointers, I'd also like different captain skill trees per shiptype. Where indeed IFHE should be expensive. Where for example CE would be 5 points for a BB, but let's say 3 for a DD. But DDs would go 4 points for BFT & Torp reload. Etc etc.

lol If anything 4 points is too cheap, and they should reintroduce 5 point skills for CE and fireprevention. It's too easy to make generic "jack of all trades" captains for bbs atm.

1. Didn't check your profile, but if you're telling the truth, which I'll believe, you're not an average player. Nor a pleb, which in my definition is less someone bad at the game, but someone unwilling to learn. What I, and most people here (I think), don't want, is having 40% idiots with 9k games sailing around in Stalingrads or whatever "locked" ships. It's bad enough they already got things like Missouri etc. If that's elitist of me, I couldn't care less. 2. I understand loathing ranked. I only ever ranked out the last one, cause with that steel I had enough for stalingrad, else I'd prefer to avoid that cancer show as well. Although if you don't want to play CB, it still is a decent option for a decent amount of steel. No pain, no gain, right? 3. I'm sorry you had bad experiences with clans. Not every clan is the same though. There are clans out there who in the end try to avoid the "(semi)pro" thing alltogether. I'd suggest you might want to contact @Loran_Battle and see if scrubs might be something for you? They don't go for full trainings, are the nicest guys and still play well at CBs. With almost 2 months for next CB you must be able to find some time right? I gave scrubs as an example because they were my previous clan, but there are probably some more like them out there. 4. If you mean to insult people for their "elitism", because you feel like those people are mocking and insulting you, you might like to try avoid phrases like etc, because pots and kettles and the like. 5. If you still don't want to bother with any of this, and only want to play when you want to, and only want to play how you want to, and still want whatever ship you want nevertheless, yes, that's called entitlement.

wut? An average player that has more games than for example me (and I have a very substantial amount of games in wows now). You could by now have tried to learn the game and joined a decent clan and/or have played some ranked seasons. Those "hundreds of hours to play CW" you're talking about, are an exageration to begin with, and mean nothing compared to the total amount of games you play anyhow. As Spithas implied above, this is just entitlement - you think everything should be available for you just because you play the game. Although I'm probably an elitist BS-spreader for pointing this out.

They could still substantially raise the base servicing costs.

Those just give commander xp.
