Premium Shop – An Extra Month of Savings

[BlameRNGesus]

I am on EU server and I don't see any significant price drops. 

Virtual ships like Sharnhorst, Atlanta, etc are still FULL price. 

Any plan to do a 30-50% price drop for a few days WG? 

[Smegger213]

Don't see any price decrease on the higher tier ships.

 

Oh and if you discount Warships premium time, then you should also discount Wargaming premium time.

£7.01 for Warships premium 30 days, but £8.52 for Wargaming premium 30 days.

Wargaming have already screwed over those of us that play more than 1 of their titles.

Bringing in separate Warships and Tanks premium time was a bad idea.

I play both Warships and Tanks so ideally I want to buy Wargaming premium time.

But you are now ripping us off further by not discounting it to the same price as Warships premium.

 

Time and time again, Wargaming give me more reasons to quit playing one or both of their games.

Nuff said.

As long as there are no meaningful missions for all the tier I - IV premium ships I have I'm not buying any premium ships of any tier. Keep ignoring player requests long enough you will lose players.  Simple.

(I guess not, the geniuses at WG can't seem to comprehend it.)

The 3 year anniversary was September 14th last year so I'm assuming there will be some kind of discounts this coming weekend, hopefully this isn't it ?

4 years? That might equal a 4 percent discount, then.

Developers, you want to buy now something that you will change in a month or two... :)

[ZeroSkillPureLuck]

The game itself is a total horror show. Unballanced to the ground. If your DDs die in the beggining you practicaly lose the game in over 75%. Or 90%.

Spending money lately.. Definetly NO.

Thank you for your understanding,

Why on earth should the discount be different? The starting price should. By your standards the rest of the "world" is worth 50% less to WG than CiS, or WG appreciates CiS over 100% more than the rest. Pick your point of view and it's a bleak picture.. Ohh well... Amazing discounts, not even visible in the store, I think the conversion rate between € and Kr took care of the discount :-)....

[Fesvil]

Come to think of how they advertise the bundles. -30% discount, well that is ONLY valid if you have none of the ships or doubloon worthy items in the bundle, because if you have everything, the discount is 0%. That is the very definition of false advertising and probably illegal in most countries.

[Shaka_D]

How about NO, WG. Not nearly enough to interest me. Token reductions accompanied by superficial explanations come across as desperate. How about giving more and you'll surely receive more? How about being truly sincere for once in you lives?

[gizaman]

Best advice for a new player is to play thorugh stream. WAY cheaper like 60-75% off at summer sales...easy to buy the dubloons there.

Even sometimes better deals.....the people that are getting ripped off are those that play normal without steam....

Now they give 10-20% better deals....What a joke.

[purplecustom]

I would like to buy some tier 9 ships but £50 + is ridiculous for a virtual product

[blindhai]

Nice try, but the prices for "Wargaming Premium" still gets no discounts and i can STILL not buy Wargaming premium with dubloons, which i bought before the change of premium time, making them unusable for me, because i bought dubloons only to buy premium time. Premium time would be the only thing i need in this game to progress faster.

Really? We want good sales too on EU server Wargaming. I don't think it will make me buy more ships when a ship only drops from 18 euro to 16. It's barely a difference. Ofcourse I'm happy with things getting cheaper but the discount is not much.

They too have their own lives, families, mouths to feed and all, life is not free you know, they need money just as me and you. Think about it, it'll make sense then.

[Raclos]

Did I say in previous posts that WG items are overpriced for a beta tested (by us) game??? This is not a version 1 game this is a test game, and we pay to test their stuff instead of being payed. Another thing they say is based on historical things but is 50 % fantasy 40% lottery and rest....remember that huge carrier pack arround 200 euros with carriers after carrier rework update?!?!? what happened with some of those carrier that some you payed to get on next update ??! they got nerfed.....so WG you want us to test your game?! give those ships at half of the price......cause some of them are way too expensive!!!!

[affie]

The prices could be okay if you gave us coupons similar to the armory, that way you could grab a reasonably priced ship twice a year or something.

 

What I found strange is the very different prices for same tier ships where the span can be 10€ (T8).

 

To tell people that EU are rich = higher pricing is just calling your playerbase stupid. How about running a global experiment with same prices and see if the wealthy players spend more or less money compared to ordinary prices?

u have to admit that changes in premium things r very rare and when happens u have the right to shell it back in full price.

[Chips_uk]

A price drop, really? I don't notice it. Some of the prices are beyond insane as well. As pointed out you can have entire premium games for the price of a single model in World of Warships. 

 

The "experiment" reminds me of Supermarkets. Price something ABOVE it's cost for 2 months, then offer it "on sale" for the next 6 months (which is actually the normal price) as they know customers see sale price and say "Oh, it's a bargain as it's on sale". No, it's not a bargain. It's regularly priced and you're not saving anything by buying something you otherwise would not have bought were it for not for the "sale". Case in point, a ship I previously looked at increased in doubloon price a few months back - now it's probably back to the price, but due to the "it's a sale" tag (HMS Hood - from 9000 doubloons to 10000 doubloons if I am not mistaken - and now doubloons give 10% discount allegedly, it's... about the same price. But "sale!")

 

Make it a real price drop and maybe I'd buy things I hadn't any intention of buying. Keep pricing ships or a few months of premium account at the cost of full AAA title games and I absolutely won't. 

 

I'm a tad bit cynical, if you hadn't noticed.

 

p.s. 90 days premium is £0.01 more expensive than 3x 30 days premium (I know, breaks the bank!), but this is not in keeping with how the other premium account durations offer savings over multiplying shorter premium to the same duration. Was there a mistake or its intentional to push people to go for 180 days instead. Also, a pet peeve is premium camo; it's very expensive for a "normal" ship. 

[MrOverboard]

Long time ago u did an experiment on us. You decrease prizes very well for some players and examined them. I was one of them and i get a lot of things from premium shop with that cheap prizes. That was very good test and i think u get impressive results all over but seems u choose high prices,earning more money 1 time, not players happiness or future shopping habits.

 You are right there, it's not even a 1.0 version. And they tweak things a long the way while we're playing, sometimes in a bad way :(  I've been buying a lot of ships myself and I have fun with them but they're really overpriced. Everything in the shop is expensive. Not many people can affort it or want to buy virtual things in a game for such prices. If they want to sell and earn more money they will have to reach a much wider audience than a few whales. They should really drop the prices with 40% to 50%. Both parties win, WG will earn more money and more players will be able to buy and have fun with more ships and other Premium stuff.

[Mrs_Ragdoll]

btw. I bet the WG summer sale with the 50% discount on the ships was a success. I didn't hesitate to buy a tier 7 DD for 10 euro's. But if they are 20, or cruisers for exmaple are 28 to 32 euro's now.... I don't often buy them.

Well as it stands the UK is f***ed so we'd appreciate 90% off across the board. Thanks!

A 3 Euro discount on ships that cost nearly 70 Euro's?  

 

You are going to have to do a lot better then that WG!
