[-WB-] KayaYautja Players 15 posts 6,030 battles Report post #1 Posted November 25, 2020 It's not even 8 AM yet and I've already had half a dozen blow out matches thanks to AFK's, Lemons, charging CV's and Battleships that run for J10 or A1. Every. Single. Match. The level of idiocy is astounding. I swear it didn't used to be like this. What happened? 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taliesn Players 2,238 posts 16,405 battles Report post #9 Posted November 25, 2020 There was a time, an almost mythical one, back in the good ol' days when players were much better because they all had a love for ships and they really, really wanted to learn the mechanics of a great game and now we have a dumbed down mess for kids on holidays or drunken adults on furlough.

As time goes the skillgap widenes between good and bad players, especially now when you can grind to T9-T10 in one day or just buy yourself in, instead grinding 50 games to get the Izumo B hull... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the "new" player base WG wants to have in this game, since they are (more) "milk-able" than all the veterans, that already left the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was really a tongue in cheek comment, I'm past trying to argue every day and twice on Sundays that the playerbase was never really that good. 7 minutes ago, TunaRoll said: Thats the "new" player base WG wants to have in this game, since they are (more) "milk-able" than all the veterans, that already left the game. Edit. Seems I'm not past trying. The new players of today will be the veterans in two years time, just as I'm a veteran now and I sucked back when I started playing this game. Eventually, I'll also leave this game. So will they. Nothing lasts forever. Nothing to see here. (Oh no!, I've done it again and I swore never to argue about this again) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
