For what? I am a customer... if anything, I could be a victim. They DID make FALSE claims over the Pay-To Rico event... and then changed or removed certain words to HIDE the fact they misled people... that is fraud... that is a criminal act and its not a matter for the Police as the police here do not operate in Russia... its a matter for the consumer watchdogs who take legal action on behalf of the victims. If you want to see what I mean, watch Zoup's video about the scandal.... even HE called it criminal... and he is a CC.... Jingles (CC) also called it illegal... in fact, MOST CC's made a video about the PR disaster and called it illegal.... and they show how it was illegal. have a nice day.

Why? Both have the same effect. If a regulation OR a law applies in the EU, then anyone trading in the EU must obey it. Therefore, if Wargaming wanted to sell AK47's to people in the EU by mail... and they think they can because they are not IN the EU, then I have bad news for them... and you. WoWs is NOT a gambling site, so it doesn't need to publish the chances of winning... THAT is changing. Loot boxes ARE gambling... the Santa Containers are gambling.... they even use the word "chance" .... you have a better CHANCE of WINNING with a Super Santa Crate or whatever its called. Yeah, sounds like gambling....

My point is simply this... On the charity event, the NA manager attacked Zoup saying the metrics showed it was a popular event... MY metrics.... the forums.... tells me WoWs screwed up totally and issued a fake apology.... but if the metrics "lie" and say its popular... then expect more criminal conduct from WoWs. However.... they will go with their metrics and are probable already planning the next event along the same lines.... if fools want to pay money for an Alaska knock off, then a fool and his money are soon parted... I cannot stop people abusing the fools in chat... maybe the deserve it, we need to stay united against these criminal practices.... BUT.... what was the point.... If they made a few million from "fool" sales ... then they lost at least twice as much from those not wanting to support WoWs ever again... what did they gain??????? A sane person can see what was done wrong... but not WoWs.

Maybe he thought he was playing World of Warplanes.....

what you said... Fun fact: Whenever I see a DD f****** his own team by sitting in his smoke waiting to watch the world go by and concealing all enemys with that smoke - im gonna go there and ram him out of his smoke. If I feel like it, I do it in such an angle, that he will be stuck on my bow for quite a while. Forced spotting & meatshield. So indeed. This game is not only for you. You play a DD - you spot for your team or deal with the consequences. Who said I was hiding and who said I was in a DD? I was actually in a cruiser....

Wrong. EU law is EU law, FaceBook was fined 5 billion Euros. If they trade in the EU, they are subject to the laws, otherwise, they could sell AK47's using your logic... but as I said, WarGaming doesn't market itself as a gambling site, which is why it got away with a whole lot of stuff, but that will change soon. I know for a fact that all the stuff WG.NET has pulled, the fake apologies, the lies etc etc... they are being noticed now....

Dude.... look at what you said... thanks for agreeing with us.

Sad..... that is the LEGAL HQ, nothing more.... lawyers act as HQ for many companies for tax purposes... Cyprus is a tax haven, made famous by the Panama papers and the murder, in Malta, of the journalist that published them. That doesn't mean they do any of the actual game making work there.... I need to ask how old you are now, because its obvious do have no idea how global tax systems work.... its why Google has ITS legal HQ in Ireland as that is their tax haven.... But, never mind, people like you keep the rest of us entertained.

well..... as that is where the legal HQ is.... if you send them a nasty letters asking for a refund.... well.... you might find yourself swimming with the fishes...

which is why they will not tell you the chances.... 1 chance in 500,000 of winning a ship... BUT.... if it was a 50% chance, you would just KNOW they would say that.... but because its not, then they don't... they depend on people like you to defend then... I mean, hell, Bonney and Clyde had their supporters too... you go girl!

Exactly. Funny thing is, as I have said before, its the number one hang out for the Russian mobsters....

ERRR, yes it is... the head office where the game is developed is in Saint Petersburg, RUSSIA..... the LEGAL HQ is in Cyprus.... its a just a lawyers office FOR TAX PURPOSES!!!! Maybe you can start by reading the wiki....

The CV should be killed off. I pity anyone that spends good money oo this thing. If they need to explain to you how to use the ship, then its crap.... how hard is it to fly a warship?

A premium ship does not make you a better player, therefore, it follows that NO premium ship, no matter the tier, will make you instantly a better player... and you will hardly RULE anything except a burning and sinking ship. The idea of going up the ranks is so you learn, you take the short cuts and people are going to curse you for every tiny mistake that you make that costs your team the game.... So, go ahead.... buy big strong premium ship.... its not going to do a thing for you.... YOU will still be "the n00b" everyone hates when you make mistakes because you never learnt by playing the easier lower tiers first.

Here is the problem... under EU law, they MUST publish the chances of winning.... Except, this technically isn't a gambling site... this is why you never see a warning that you must be X old (depending on your nation) to buy these "loot boxes".... Belgium has made the first moves to correct this mistake, gambling is gambling, so in Belgium, you MUST publish the odds and MUST include a restriction based on age.... WoWs is available in Belgium, so under their law, WoWs is breaking the law... very soon, the entire EU will adopt this law (bye bye UK) so we will be protected... Bethesda has already run foul of this law in Belgium. The stupidity is, WoWs... WG.NET act more like the Mafia when it comes to this information, they TRADE in our nations then the must follow our laws, WoWs thinks it can do as it wants because its based in Russia... not so.... as they will soon find out. When WoWs says you have a better chance of winning a major prize in a "premium".... container (loot box).... then fine.... What they don't tell you is that the chances are only .1% better.... As to whether you can trust WoWs if they gave a number, simply... given the past... NO.... no one can trust them at all... this is why they will need to prove the odds stated are real by showing evidence of how many times a loot box drops a ship.... the EU especially is VERY tough on rogue companies ... and they are going to love WoWs.

Fun fact, I was ready to torp a BB heading my way.... I do not hide... never have, stop making assumptions.

Disagree. Everyone, including the CC's have said it was wrong, illegal and hurts the community... sure, they said sorry, while trying to hide/change evidence... they shouldn't profit... As the NA dude said on the charity stream... picking on Zoup... "our metrics show its a very popular event".... if they want to delude themselves fine, not any of the four forums, fine, not watch the videos...fine.... Every time a Pay-to Rico is sold, it gives them the courage to crap on the community again, while people sailing the Pay-to Rico get abused in chat..... yeah, wows BUILDS the love...right.... So you say you see nothing wrong with that.... so next crappy Alaska knock off costs US$350 .... and takes the whole of the "holidays" for you to grind... when they lied and said "you can build it for free by EASILY completing 7 directives"..... ...you're fine with that??????? Really?????

Yes.... they DO read posts and value our feedback.... another....untruth.

I agree with you totally.... but you missed a few... Bots firing torps AFTER they have been sunk. Allied bots snuggling up next to enemy bots and both ships shooting at other bots , not the one next to them (and when that happens, you try to shoot very carefully to hit the bot but if they move, and you score a hit on an ally, you get made pink) Bots doing their best to try and ram you.... Bots heading from east to west firing at an enemy to the North, you are to the south, firing over the allied player, next minute, he fires torps AT YOU, to the South... Bots think its easier to ram enemy bots .... that is lazy coding by the devs, so are all the other problems... T10 ships lose money on these ultra fast games.... all these ...."bugs" are designed to soak up credits, camo's, signal flags and consumables.... Soak them up and hope the player pays real money for more decent signal flags.... in order to at least break even... And for all those complaining about the OP posting his opinion.... back off.... he pays for premium as I do so he is entitled to report an unplayable game mode.... if it doesn't affecft you, playing random, then just don't post. Its not hurting you in the least.... is it?

by buying premiums above T4 ... so, has lower ships but sold them all... people like this, WoWs loves.... but they HURT the community. This gives WoWs the incentive to have another Pay-To Rico even but with much higher costing ships. WoWs have already proven that they can be dishonest even to the point of altering facebook posts to avoid a possible lawsuit.... Right now, I'd put nothing past them. These "wallet warriors" are the ones that will kill the game for sure. We mere humans cannot fight people with more money than common sense.

I had insulted a member of WG.NET and was given.... quite rightly....a two week ban. Now, this annoyed me because it could have been dealt with with a one day ban.... but no.... so, I wasn't able to be here to wish "my family" here in the community either a Merry Christmas OR a Happy New Year. Someone missed me and saw my name in YOUtube posts and sent me a message asking why I wasn't posting, he had been concerned because he knew I had Terminal Lung Cancer. So, I told him and I'm telling you all now, should I succumb to the dreaded big C .... then my wife, Rianne will make a post to that effect using my account.... or her own. Anyhow.... I saw this video and I agreed with it 100%.... it concerns the PAY-to Rico. This dude said he had words with WoWs but kept it decent, not to give them an excuse to fire him as a CC .... so, I agree with him. I will be HONEST with my opinions but no more personal insults. Belated Merry Christmas and a Belated happy new Year Everyone! This is the video I watched, and BTW, I have a LOT to say on the PAY-TO Rico fiasco... and I will. Just not now, what has been said here is enough. This dude cannot be all bad, he has a wife and she is Aussie... basically... a slightly inferior Kiwi!

I admit I lose my temper with ....poor .... players. Example... I was sitting in smoke... so, not moving.... I always scan around my ship, and saw this cruiser heading straight for me at full speed, so, I sound my ships horn... used ALL the steam for it... For a good 30 seconds or more.... he was obviously in binocular view.... rams me so hard that he pushed me out of the smoke and a few miles down the map.... STILL oblivious to what happened... Yes, I gave him a piece of my mind... honestly.... this game is NOT only for him but when ....cretins.... like him do that, I really object to being fined for someone else's stupidity.

It was like this for the last two updates as well... THREE battles so far and NO MOVEMENT in the progress meter on daily missions... (sigh) I'm amazed anyone still has faith in this game, all the scams... there was NOTHING wrong with thye sounds, but hey, they wanted to tweak them and BROKE them.. some are still broken, a few sounds hardly work most times in chat.... Either way.... fix it WoWs... the time spent on the dockyard could have been better spent fixing bugs, but hey, there isn't profit in fixing bugs right.... It does come right after awhile... still not the point.

I doubt that anyone dying form playing this game will make the news... they would basically not report the name of the game to prevent WoWs from suing for libel. It would be reported that a person died while at their computer.

Yeah, one law for them... another for us. I made a mistake and got a warning here... but no such warning for the staff who helped mislead the players about the PR event... Yeah.... not surprised that some staff act like total "d**ks"... look who they work for?
