TheAlba2014

Thanks for all the entertainment, and sometimes educational posts. Always was the best place for knowledge of game events and game mechanics, sadly a resource that will no longer be available for new and old players alike. Joined the game in 2015, but didn't post on here until long after that date. It's a shame this game which held so much promise in the beginning has turned into essentially a mobile microtransaction game (with some of the transactions not so micro if you so choose!). Finally, to WG, your decision making since the CV rework has been utterly abysmal and your steering your game down a horrible path in my opinion. The people making those decisions need a serious rethink or moved out so that this game can flourish again. Unfortunately the response to this type of feedback from the community seems to be as per below: https://giphy.com/gifs/muppets-4hchT0ykGCVDW See you all in game...if I can bring myself to play again once I get my PC back. Otherwise "you'll take the high road...and I'll take the low road..." Edit: seems after all this time I still can't work out how to insert a gif properly

There's enough of that apparently with Weebs on discord and the images posted...or so I hear.

The time will be determined when they open the Premium Forum Magical Mystery container that costs 200 silent majority tokens and find out then...

I get the sentiment, but as has been shown many times WG values our feedback so will go ahead with this decision whether we complain or not. Besides, I don't see the need to $h!t the bed before we leave just out of spite...just my two cents on it.

I would but my PC is currently in storage due to a little bundle of joy needing the room instead (worth it). Remember me...

Thank you for organising the holiday lottery all those years...something that won't be easily replicated on Discord and an example of the type of things that will be missed by the community.

Long time occasional poster/frequent forum reader/lurker to keep up with news and discussion. Can't believe it's all gone just like that! Beyond words how poor of a decision this is WG for the community...I mean good luck doing the Xmas raffle on Discord. I don't have a Discord or Reddit account, not about to begin either. It's been entertaining/educational reading all your posts these past few years on here regarding the game, slainte!

Have loaded in late to a scenario (minutes late ) played rest of scenario and then been given inactivity penalty, was assured by aupport system was working as intended...now we know.

I honestly don't mind WG trying to monetise their content, it's the way they do it at times that's seriously questionable.

You are correct that in WoT after a team has capped out there is a period of time when tanks can still be damaged/destroyed. In OP case the "logical" solution is that the opponent had more points as has already been stated. Live long and prosper

Much better to have pistols at dawn old chap...dilly dilly, tally ho bunty!

Glad it's back...the nostalgia is nice, can't help but feel a little sad that the hope for what the game could become from back then has...changed, somewhat, over the intervening time since. Still, should be a fun event, looking forward to it

I think you've misunderstood the fundamental dynamic of the relationship here between WG and the consumer of a free to play game. What is the purpose of providing said gifts to a player of 7 years? Could it be to retain that player and perhaps encourage further spending? Do those gifts entice you to do so? If so, great, have a cookie, OP feels differently about it and so do I Oh, and as I've said in another post, it's not like other WG products offer better incentives in anniversaries like this to veteran players, precisely with the aim to keep you playing and spending.

Talk about being conditioned to accept chicken feed...some people. But yeah, better not make any comment on the "free stuff" even if it is guff...still free stuff so lap it up and be grateful you even got that...right? All about player retention and brand loyalty is WG...right? (Btw, don't look at WoT, they certainly don't try and give decent incentives on anniversaries like this to keep their long term players engaged...oh wait! )

This is the thing I really don't get with modern gaming companies approach, including WG. Gameplay is sacrificed in the name of short term profit, why make a good product when "Good enough" will do. As long as you add more "shinies" for the magpies to collect the companies win, and the players have their "fix" But...it doesn't have to be so short sighted, you can make a good product and make a sustainable profit. In fact instead of short term churn, like mobile games; if you invested in good gameplay, nurtured, retained and grew your player base, you'd make profit and have a well deserved reputation within the gaming world. Thus, you'd attract more players to your brand, be it this game or another WG product. Like so much in life now, nowhere cares about customers, brand reputation or loyalty, "I want it now" culture is here to stay, people accept poorer levels of service as standard, and we'll all suffer for it in the long run. Maybe one day the bubble will burst on this approach when folk are fed up enough of eating what their being fed now...probably not.

Now now, we don't use words like that anymore...I belive the correct terminology is vertically challenged pigs with wings

I find if someone is trying to insult me in chat, using Scots words as a response generally does the trick without getting any chatban...perhaps the mods are still deciphering? So...here's a free one for you all, bunch of tumshies

WG's newest CC member, remember to check the YT channel for more insightful content...

I've been watching this topic in the background fascinated by the use of the English language in some posts, very hippy dippy, nonsensical faux philosopher and academic. As a native speaker of the Enlgish language my final word on the subject would be...don't talk pish! A now I bid you adieu.

I know what you've been saying, in many places that is the way. In the UK I guess it's quite wide ranging if you can prove what was said fall into the below: The Law Commission's review of harmful online communications Section 127(1) of the Communications Act 2003 which criminalises the sending, via a 'public electronic communications network', of a message which is 'grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character,'.

That's true, but the legal definitions are pretty clear cut as to what construed both in a respective country. Some of what I saw written could quite easily be reported to the police to investigate.

I take offence as a Weegie myself!

It is top sekret tovarish!

Wow...Michael's got a nice haircut these days
