Hi all,

 

How many Early Access British heavy cruisers have you got via "Random Bundles" available through "British Tokens"?

 

 

Leo "Apolo11"

 

 

P.S.

The "Random Bundle" #13 brought me the Tier V "Hawkins" and "Random Bundle" #26 will bring me Tier VI "Devonshire" today...

Zero.

 

Cause I did not participate in this ridiculous fest. Some 500 tokens collected (_involuntarily_), not a single spent.

 

Do not endorse them, otherwise you will soon see a paywall for early access of everything. Just like the other game. Jeez, I need to think about running a business like this one....

How is it a paywall if you use up the otherwise usless temp currency? :cap_yes:

Not endorsing them is one thing, that means not spending money on anything. Not spending your free tokens you grinded for free doesn't hurt WG in any way. The only party that is hurt by this is yourself, because you could have gotten some free rewards, and didn't. This makes literally no difference to WG whatsoever. I agree it's stupid to buy the doubloon bundles, just so you can drop some silver ships a few weeks before they're grindable for free, but opening free token bundles is a no brainer. At best, you drop some ships that come with permacamos, port slots, and B hull / range modules. At worst, you get some flags, coal, fxp, etc, and it's still all free.

 

If everyone acted like this and actually refused free rewards, the only conclusion I see WG walking away with from this is "they don't want free rewards, so we'll just make everything cost money now". You didn't really think this through.

1, Hawkins, in my 2nd to last crate. Did the first three directives, 4 sets of daily missions and the 2 drops from the Daily Login (so that's 4+4+5+1+2= 16 drops, with Hawkins on 15).

Buying this cr@p for doubloons is right out of the question.

 

 

VERY unimpressed and underwhelmed with this whole event, how it was handled,... sign of the times for what's to come in WoWS, mark my words!

It can change anytime soon, when people gladly accept the 'trends' from WG - as your attitude demonstrates.

All 4 directives done and most (if not all) daily challenges that gave 5 tokens, I reckon some 30 bundles opened = zero british cruisers in update 0.9.0 British Cruisers

 

How do you spell false advertising?

So "my attitude demonstrates" I will spend cash on pre-access ships in future if I have spent the otherwise worthless temp currency on different coal, flags and stuff with chance to get a ship, a month earlier?

Wow  your advanced logic really baffels me m8

All directives done, even bought a couple before I realised I was being a [edited], for the sum total of a lonely Hawkins which is inferior in every way to my Exeter.

Yes, exactly! Well said!

It is how WG sees it. It is how it works. This is how anyone would see it, if his aim was to maximize profit via milking their customers.

 

I am having lots of fun seeing this kind of indulgence from the 'playerbase'.

Again, acquiring and spending free tokens makes ZERO difference to WG as it makes absolutely no financial difference to them - tokens are grinded for free. If you want to boycott them, fine, don't buy premium time, don't buy doubloons, don't buy ships, etc.

 

Not getting free rewards doesn't punish WG, it punishes you. Or, let me put it another way. Only getting free rewards = voting with your wallet. Not even getting free rewards = why would they care? They wouln't have made money off of this, regardless. The only way to boycott them beyond not spending money is to stop playing entirely, so you're not helping them with another number they can populate the teams with. However, you clearly played since you grinded the tokens, so the decision not to spend them so you get free stuff is definitely your right, but also quite nonsensical. All you demonstrated is some questionable trains of thought and decision making. Again, you didn't think this through.
