What makes you consider quitting WoWs?

[Hopeless_Guppy]

Most of the above, oddly enough it was this very game that introduced me to anything WG, then WoT's took a hold,seriously it was and has been like a nasty drug addiction, it was player in the WoT's forum who suggested I get a alt, ie a re roll account,this I did in WoT's,then followed through with WoW's, bad news for me with money sunk, (but my alts stats are better, albeit not in WoT's) so what what straw will finally break the camels back,it has tone the implementation of subs in randoms, with one stroke any point in playing other ships will be gone for good, such a shame as there is nothing to replace this with.

[IanH755]

A little bit of everything but mainly that I leave the game feeling more annoyed and frustrated than when I started, which for my plan of "just a few games to have a bit of fun" isn't very good for my mood.

[Pametrada]

To be honest, I'm not going to quit WoWs yet ( meaning I'm not going to uninstall the game and cancel my account ) . At its heart, WoWs is still a good game, but I need a break from all the well-documented flaws and frustrations. So, no more playing for a few months, and I will monitor developments as they are reported on this forum. If the problems are not resolved by, say, the autumn, then I will be happy to regain a lot of disk space.

Just tried tier 1's only HE shells for all ships, since when? God only knows what a new player is meant to learn but I think right there, my time is up, 4 minutes to get into a game, over in the next 5, 1st WoT's now this, game over!

Wows is still the best game for naval warfare i think, but it has many issues that seems to get worse. High tier gameplay is ruined cause no one can play the ship types to what they are capable of. Its more damage farming, run, hide and seek than a dynamic battle game. Submarines if they ever hit co op and random battles in main game, then that will be the final straw for me personally.  They are no where near balanced and they leave certain ship types with no way of fighting against them....that alone makes no sense. But biggest reason is that Wows dont seem to listen much to community anymore, and instead of focusing on the actual gameplay, they just pump new ships in to the game. Fix the gameplay first, find ways to support teamwork and not individual performances, and then focus on new ships after that. The game still has potential to be a great game, Wows just gotta stop, think and work on gameplay before anything else.

 I don't mind the economic aspects but my biggest turnoff is that WG attracts some of the worst players that I've ever seen in online gaming. It's one thing to be bad but go down fighting but at the higher tiers most of these players don't even attempt to try. They just camp it out until they die while one or two of us attempt to take the fight to the enemy or cap an objective.  I've stayed mainly in operations or ranked.  Random battles are just botfests of inexperienced players who refuse to listen or help.  EVEN IF you bring a div it's still really hard to carry 12 other players to do the right thing. 

[anonym_WHY4JO92xZKJ]

there are many things that makes me to consider to leave wow: incoming "atomic" subs with 20 knots of underwater speed, russian "balanse" and presence in a naval warfale game, carriers, sci fi ships that never existed, but have the sci fi abilities that the engineers expected to give them....

but the real problem is WG, they seem DEAF and instead of SOLVING PROBLEMS, they seem to throw gasolie on the fire

like introducing a new line of russian cruisers, when people is already angry against the existing one...

[MementoMori_6030]

...games that last one and a half minutes...

[Camperdown]

It is quite frustrating at times. Only remedy is to stay in control and play the game for you, not let weegee play you for your money.

[mrandrewclark85]

So youre playing ranked, you need 1 more star. your "hopefully" last game.
The Halland can't be bothered to spot, or engage the enemy till the entire flank collapses, because its easier to keep a star (in their mind) if there is no one left to compete with and the Stalin pops his radar 5 seconds into the game, then sails backwards, eventually ending his journey at A1, and doesn't shoot until everyone is dead, and pops his radar every time its available, because i guess why not. and half the team, at TX I might add, still insist on sailing broadside to literally the entire enemy fleet, for however little they last in the game.

yeah that about covers it.

[Smart_Hound]

You assume that things are broken just because that's you point of view. Most of the options you put in the poll are refutable.

 

The things that would drive me away, aren't in your poll:

 

1. P2W component. Would it increase in some way like the PR disaster where the access to a new ship was directly behind a pay wall.

2. The complete lack of an anti cheat system. Yes, there is people cheating, using aimbots, and seeing your torps the moment you throw them, to point 2 obvious.

[Cambera_1]

1) Burnout. 

Too many activities in too short a period. Too many activities being time gated. Little chance to achieve one thing, let alone do the main activity AND grind up new lines.

 

The insistence that Research Bureau with the need to REGRIND the line (ok A line) again.

 

And

2) The attitude of too many 'players'.

Such as :-

The abuse of players in chat. 

Rage inspired 'friendly fire'. 

Looking at the matchmaking screen and deciding that they can't win, so they won't play the match. 

Players attempting to 'save a star' so hiding at the back. 

Players demanding the rest of the team  carries them rather than using their ship to the best advantage for their team to help the team to win.

 

Yes, I have cut my World of Warships time by 80-90% compared to the last three months. I'm playing other games. I don't intend to quit altogether.

Have you seen wot lately? The garage looks like a slot machine when you return... Just flashy things and adverts for "awesome new" premium tanks and lootboxes. 1000 things to do, but nothing actually worth your time. I fear that's where wows is going...

i have never had the urge to return, i just looked at it one day and went "nah" and that was it, from what you describe it was a wise choice

[JapLance]

Currently having a (probably very long or definitive) break because of:

 

1) Average player is extremely idiotic

2) Constant +2 Matchmaking

3) Carriers

4) Subs in the near future

5) WG and their idiotic way of doing things in general

    a) Sick fixation with T9 and T10

    b) WG's conception of "F2P" business

    c) Lies, lies and then some more lies

    d) Tons of paperships, tons of Russian ships, ignoring other countries real designs

    e) Lottery

 

As you can see, except for the retard playerbase, all the rest could be summarized in one word: WarGaming. A very amateurish game company who hit the bull's eye once with WoT. Otherwise they'd probably have already disappeared.

I'd like an "all of the above" option to vote

Me too, however, I voted for the 'broken CV' choice as the CV rework has to be the worst change to WoWS (to date). 

You should not have included  'broken Matchmaking' as that will never change or be changed. You might have substituted 'broken RNG' instead (lol).

What? WoWS not going to have Subs in Randoms?  That should be the whole point of including Subs. Lets hear everyone start screaming & whining .

what a load of space hoppers The CV rework was the best thing that happened to the game, and I am a BB main.

[thestaggy]

I'm back after a 2-year(ish) hiatus.

 

Its probably going to be HE spam, which is what drove me away in the first place but now it is even worse. Even BBs are spamming the stuff and the line I so patiently waited for - Royal Navy BBs - is entirely built on it. You know you have a problem when the most feared thing on the high seas is a freakin' light cruiser spamming 6-inch inertia-fused HE. I'll rather deal with a Thunderer (which is braindead itself) than one of those light cruisers spamming their garbage unseen from behind an island or smoke.

 

I don't like the idea of subs either.

I think most RN BB's do better with AP but otherwise I agree.

 

Curious how you would compare the beta game against what we've got now?....

I love RN BBs. People show you a perfect flat broadside begging to be penetrated expecting a HE salvo only to receive 12 419mm AP shells.

[ImTryingButYouDontHelp]

I'm mainly considering quitting because of the MM, but there are also parts of the rest of the reasons exposed here that weight toward the decission. This has become a World of ROFLStomping, and is not being fun anymore. In their desire to hard monetize the game, they let noobs grind too fast and also buy tier IX and X premium ships (oh, something that they promised never would happen), turning any tier in an absolute brainless mess. We all know they will never balance the teams (more or less) by skill, so this is going to get worse and worse. I also don't like powercreeping; ships like Stalin or Smolensk have done a lot of damage to the game. About CVs, as CV player, I'd like them to nerf the rockets and the bombs, as are too abusive against the rest of the ships.

[BdW_Marecc]

•  All of the above

[this_simple_username]

1) CVs. tier 4 CVs will probably make most new players leave, AA does basically nothing and DefAA is a joke. Wargaming should just admit that they aren't balanced properly and redo them. IJN AP bombs are too powerful.

2) Wargaming. The blatant dismissal of feedback and the fact that they can't balance anything...

3) (Possibly) Submarines. Seeing how they screwed up the CV rework and how it's *still* not fixed yet.. I honestly don't think they will be balanced properly too...
