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

 

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

 

You need to be more understanding... :Smile_hiding:

 

However, a 3 Euro discount is prolly so minuscule that most people won't even notice it so most people won't even realize they need to be upset about this.

Understanding of what? WG's greed?

 

I think 'understanding' is come kind of a code word for something entirely different. :Smile_glasses:

Whilst I appreciate any reduction in price of premium items, the nagging thought of other server communities getting a better deal feels like a slap in the face.

I don't buy the excuse of different countries economies being a deciding factor. The EU is propped up by a handful of countries, the others are worse off than Russia.

 

If you use that as an excuse you should set the prices based on the individual nations.

In the CIS server, there is also such an experiment on which we have to take in account the different economic situations of the countries of this server. 

 

Like whole EUROPE is Swiss, Germany, Norway and Sweden who are fairly rich countries and their people have higher standard of living (no offence to others who arent mentioned) and like Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria where half of people are collecting bottles from dumpsters to get couple of euros in day to get something to eat - doesnt exist.. 

Cmon, We - You gotta be realistic, if whole planet plays same game, everybody should be equal.

If some Rusky cannot afford 5 euros, why should I have to pay for it??? (again, no offence to anybody, because i am sometimes bit harsh and got couple of warnings on forum :cap_wander:)

The cheaper bundles just got cheaper!

Well nothing got cheaper by this saying...
If only the cheaper bundles got cheaper,... no bundle got cheaper.
All bundles in shop are expensive !

So the expensive bundles got less-expensive... but still not cheaper... not even close.

As long term player I don't like the fact that we were not able to switch to Steam as shared/split account (not like, as if, a test wipe).
That was a bad move long time ago.... now "WE" (the long-term loyal WG-account players) just have the agony of reading good sales on our Steam-site.
Not being able to use it for our account of the same game, same country, same players, same friends who just started when intro on Steam......

This! I'm still waiting on the "different but comparable" deals we were promised in the WGC for the Summer Sale.

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. :cap_money:

 

Yes but that doens't say anything about how much they need to pay their employees and how much they make per month they make from the Premium shop from all players around the world. Which is very much I think. My point was just that the discounts are barely noticable. It's just very low and doesn''t make much more players buy stuff. Which in my opinion is the reason for giving discounts mostly. By giving discounts they don't only want to make us happy, they want to make more players buy stuff so in the end the profit is higher. If you give a 20% discount but attract 50% more players you will make more in the end... marketing.

I know, and what about coupons? They literally give you coupons when you perform exceptionally well :Smile_medal:

I don't know, I often play very well but I didn't get any coupon for about almost a year now I think.... but is it really the only way to get discount... only when you perform very well? That would not be very nice for avarage or bad players, they want to have a discount too, lol.

No I don't understand. Especially how you can justifying selling a ship for £60, a single ship, when you could buy an entire AAA title game for that, plus have enough change for a slap up binge at Mrs Miggins Pie Shop. 

 

So either make a substantial reduction or not at all, because this pitiful amount is just insulting. 

 

(yes I've been stupid enough to buy a few ships, but never again) 

Please advise on location of that most excellent Mrs Miggins’ Pie Shop. I’m feeling a might peckish having overcome temptation to buy overpriced premium ships

For me the main problem buying such expensive tier 8 ships it that you are automatically sent to play in 70% or more of the battles with higher tier ships. So you pay very expensive ships just to be easily sunk.

 

It is an anti business concept.

I have played a lot of f2play/freemium games over the years, and for most of the time I was OK with their price schemes.

This game is cool, plays really nice and is very adictive, so I looked to spent some money in the premium shop. I didn't and I won't in the future, I can't find a way to justify spending the obscene amounts of money that are needed to buy just one digital item, and thus with a limited lifetime paired to the game's life.

 

The discount... you just moved prices from obscene to almost obscene. Nothing interesting here.

 

As somebody pointed before, discount 50-75% permanently to everithing you have in the shop and things would be almost in par with other good games out there.

Good news! For the duration of 0.8.10 we will be keeping the price decreases in the Premium Shop, as previously announced here.

 

Just a quick reminder that these price decreases apply to all items found in the Premium Shop, but you’ll see the biggest impact on the cheaper items.

Totally agree with you there. I have got 67 days of WoT Premium Time left, but ZERO Warships Premium Time. I refuse to buy Wargaming Premium Time because its never on a discount sale and you dont get the same benefits. So the result of this is that I now only play Warships very occasionally. Make WoT Premium Time and WoWS Premium Time give you the +50% XP & Credits in the other games and get rid of Wargaming Premium Time altogether. Wargaming have reneged on their promise to make a proper unified premium account time.
