I wasn't going to continue playing WoWs since before the subs came in*, and see no reason to change that decision based on current circumstances.
*Again. Because they've had a million different tests at this point, and it's hardly likely that this is going to be the final iteration. Just drop the idea already WG...

Clearly, every type except carriers should be removed, that way they can all play against each other in the way that history and WG intended.
Who said anything about Glorious?!-

The sad fact of it is, WG don't care about PvE. The sadder fact of it is, WG don't care about players that hang around for any length of time because spreadshiet says you've spent all the money that you're going to on the game. Co-op is still the only place in this shambles where you can get any kind of fun fast-paced action, but WG don't want you to be playing it past about T4 or so...

Indeed, have been since a worthless layabout student; now I'm just the first two ;) Are you a local, or an outsider as well?

Well if I'd known it was to do with Parsons turbines I'd have said something sooner ;) And definitely, me too! Have you seen Dippy and the T Rexes yet?

@Pametrada It feels strange to say that I'm relieved to see you go (in a good way)! Make sure to put that new 50 gigs of free HD space to good use. I'd like to echo the sentiment already expressed that we wish you all the best, and if you find something good, please come back to let the rest of us know...
P.S. I just got your username a couple of weeks ago when I was reading a book on standard-type merchantmen of the world wars!
P.P.S. That's a Fine City you're in there ;)

To add to Jingles' selected links in the description you can also get in touch with your local Member of Parliament (specific for those in the UK) about gambling crates: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/
QuoteWhen should I contact my MP?
You could contact your MP:
- If you feel you have been treated unfairly by a Government office or agency
- To let your MP know about a problem affecting people in your local area
- To ask your MP to support a particular campaign that you feel strongly about
Here's how you find the right one if previously unaware: https://members.parliament.uk/members/Commons

It depends on how each country defines gambling within its own legal system. In the UK loot boxes do not count as gambling as defined by the rules governing the gambling commission, because what ever you “win” cannot be exchanged for anything of value outside the game.
For what it’s worth though the British government are currently writing a white paper in relation to loot boxes because the gambling commission have repeatedly asked legislation on the issue of loot boxes.
If one were to feel strongly enough (in the UK at least), there's always contacting your MP:

Not sure if it's an urban legend by the way, but it's worked for me in the past: if you put your address in your communication (so they know you're in their constituency), they may be obliged by rules/custom to send you a personal reply if that's something you're interested in ;)

Not registered any games on my account since before the last update...
...So seems to be working fine here.

Came to thank OP and say I'd already sent PEGI a message when someone else suggested it recently, stayed to commend some fine folk and feed my blacklist. Ahhhhhh, WoWs forums!

I went for 'reduce how much I play', as I was F2P anyway so can't reduce spending and 'Other' seemed just too vague, but really I'm not sure I can manage less than zero games per day on average. Honestly the increasingly lacklustre events/new lines up to the Dutch cruisers (with Russian carriers on the horizon no less) were doing enough to dampen my enthusiasm and then subs in Co-op pretty much killed it, the CC situation is more of a confirmation for me than an instigation. Though it's certainly been 'interesting' watching it develop.

But boy has it been overtaken by events
You need to go out and buy a whole bunch of lottery tickets and bet on some horse races, my friend, because you can apparently anticipate the future!

Don't know for sure what they'll say (although I bet Monday's Jingles vid will have a good guess). Whatever it is though, I'm not going to believe a single word without at least two independent, reliable sources to corroborate. Not even 'and' or 'the'.

Continuing my unbroken streak (since before the last update) of not playing at all. More fun that way, and seems fitting with the current Calamity Contributor mess.

I suspect this can only go well...
Presumably the next edition of Not-Mingles with Jingles will be out first, which is likely going to make life more complicated for them...

Try this: only buy premium ships that LWM gives a good review to from now on, and see how much you can save... ;)

WoWs Forum shutdown (on July 28th) !?!?!?
in General Discussion
Posted
Such a stupid decision. I guess they've been quietly trying to run the forums down for a while so they could pull the old 'noone uses them anymore, just go to somewhere more financially advantageous to us now please' routine that they tried with Ops a while ago...
