Did you not read the part about me being from the United States, and being born and raised in the state of Missouri? Does that not tell you how much this ship means to me? I know I can get an Iowa, but the Iowa is not the MISSOURI. I don't care how bad Missouri is compared to Iowa. Missouri is a part of my country and state's history. I. Want. MISSOURI. The ship has sentimental value that goes far and beyond just what she brings to the game as far as gameplay is concerned. The game could have her armed with nerf guns for all I care, I'd still want her. That being said, am I going to spend the hundreds of dollars that will most likely be required to get her in those random bundles? Not a chance. They went from getting a guaranteed $80-$100 from me by putting her in the premium store and/or armory for doubloons LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD, to not getting one single penny from me from here on out. I've let my premium time expire, I will not be renewing that. No more premium purchases, nothing. Nadda. Zilch. I'm done. It'll be a miracle if I even play this damn game again. This was the last straw.

I have to say, this is probably the straw that will break my back, imperialis6. My premium is up for renewal in 5 days. If they don't change this and return it to what they said it would be previously, that's not getting renewed. I will not spend another dime on this game, not even another cent, and more than likely I'm going to take a hefty break from the game, if not a full retirement. I'm just tired of this crap, I really am. I'm taking this personally because they are preying on people just like me with this, people who want this ship because of deeply-rooted emotional reasons. The people who just wanted her for the credit income are already out, because this ship won't have it. The ones that remain, are just like me, so this feels like a personal attack, and I'm not over-exaggerating on that. This is literally a punch in the gut. It makes me physically sick.

This is why I hate you as a company, Wargaming. I missed Missouri when she first released, and every Christmas I buy containers hoping to get her. I am from the US, more specifically the state of Missouri. This ship holds a VERY special place in my heart. When I saw you announce you were bringing her back, I literally squealed with joy. Finally, I thought, I'd be able to get her. Even if you sold her for 30,000 Doubloons, even if you nerfed her to the ground, removed her radar and gave her the armor of a Fletcher, I wouldn't care, Missouri was GUARANTEED to be mine, no gambling with boxes, no random bundles, just buy and obtain, and I would finally be able to own the one ship in this game that means more to me than the rest of them combined. Flash forward to today's update article... Congrats Wargaming. Congratulations, really. Your scummy tactics of bait-and-switch know no bounds, and you've really outdone yourself with this one. I'm including screenshots of the article on July 21st, 2021 from the "Missouri Returns" bulletin, and the release from today, just so nobody can say I'm lying.
