It will not get better, only worse.

"Vote with your feet!" is a common expression in English and seems to agree with you, so +1 to you!

 

Unless you stop spending money, WG will continue and accelerate its current strategy of monetization.

 

That being said, if you carry on as a free-to-play customer they will still continue as they'll believe that one day they will be able to tempt you into buying fun/win rate with a new BALANS™ ship for real money.

 

Choice #1: Stop spending any money and be a free-to-play miser.

 

Choice #2: Stop playing the game.

 

Either exercise one (or both) of thee options or stop complaining. Customers have the power whilst WG has none.

Didn't think anything of it until reading this but I decided to try an experiment and sold Duca.

 

I then bought 20 more Mega's and got 2 more ship, guess which ship dropped first?

 

Yep, another Duca. I also got W.Virginia 1941 in a supercontainer.

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA NOOO ffing way :D

Ho Ho Ho,

 

Look at the price of 20 mega box, I realized that I must have spent over £60 last year. Since I got very little (some flags, coal, etc) for my money I decided that WoWS will not get my £60 this year, next year, and the many years after. 

 

Ho Ho Ho again to the greedy marketing guys at WoWS. 

 

 

Yep! 2 years ago, I must have spent at least 150 euros, last year 50 and at first I thought that I will buy some boxes this year, then no, then yes, then again no, and then I saw FLAMU video, forum posts, and I'm thinking now of buying AC Valhalla, instead of throwing my money to them cheeky buggers.. 

[Stretch71]

Unfortunately, I paid for my 8 Big crates before the sh**storm broke. One ship out of 8 crates - and it's a Makarov! Sigh....

[Arkymedes]

Jokes on you guys. Got 20 Megas, and rolled 3 Ducas (1 Duca + 2 Super Containers, so I assumed I got 3 Ducas as I don't have and didn't get any of the other shortlist ships).

 

No Makaroni for me, I'm feeling left out of the fun :(

Well, here's my ticket reply:

I was expecting a straight 'nope' so this response was unexpected.

[GH_ROMEL]

Yea, good strategy.

I started with the 2 going to one mb later then back to 2 

[GOUNl]

I ask for refund and i got this :

 

"Hello GOUNl,

I also sent a request to the "Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control department" of my country, just to see what they have to say about this matter (fake and misleading advertisement)

Reddit is having fun it apperas.

Heard the noise. Saw Sealords video. Thought "I've got the Makarov already but not the California or Orkan so can't lose". Bought 8 big crates for £15. 2nd crate opened to a supercontainer which confirms the big crate list. Luckily got a Mainz out of it so a £31 value ship for £15. Rest was camo, flags and 500 doubloons. I'm pleased with my buy but will not be getting more. 

 

The prices of these premium ships is getting ridiculous anyway. Noone in their right mind would pay £50 for a DLC for Counterstrike, Call of Duty or Fortnite. Even if it's a new gun in a different texture map. Yet we do that regularly. Tier 9 ships are now £51 in the store.

Don't miss your chance to get a rare Premium or Tier IX ship!

Read it on the portal

Any chance to get some kind of clarification on the well known issue?

Here a data point using not insignificant size sample:

 

 

Quote

The reddit post claims that Santa's mega boxes give you at first ships from the following shortlist:
Duca D'Aosta
Yudachi
Vanguard
Ochakov

Since I've already got the first 3 ships in that list, let's see what ship I will get straight in a Santa's box and not in a supercontainer. Would be an interesting coincidence if it happened to be Ochakov, right? Not even mentioning if it was the 4th ship I get :)

I also raised a ticket requesting a refund. I got the holding reply: "Thank you for contacting Wargaming Player Support. Our team is looking into this and will provide you a proper answer shortly." Not holding breath, but will be interested to see what line they come up with.

[Unfortunate_Son]

It's past mid day in Soviet Russia and they have not yet managed to decide should they blame marketing or call it a software bug.

 

Good thing about this silence is that "works as specified" seems to be off the table.

Waiting for the statement too, i don't think they are going to give any compensations, but it should be fun to read what BS excuse the marketing team is going to give.

Likewise, except I already had the Makarov so pulled the California instead from the 20 Bigs I'd purchased

Startet again with WoWs last week. Bought some containers (>150€ for sure) because i wanted to gamble for the High Tier Prems. Every ship i got was from the announced shortlist in this thread.

I was fully aware, that i was gambling and that the drop chance for high Tier Prems would have been lower than for low Tier Ships.

But I DID NOT KNOW that i was force fed with low Tier Prems until i have got ALL of them and that only after this point i could get a chance for a High Tier Prem Ship.

In my opinion this is in best case "indecent"

(pls excuse my english, im not a native english speaker)

[zekai7498]

They have closed the other santa container topic,i wanted a single evidence about long listed drop from a santa box,instead of doing that they closed entire discussion:)

[PoeticGrub7532]

Please vaccinate your Xmas containers as they are toxic....shame on you for banning those that mention them on stream.

#Makarovgate day 4 and this still hangs on the main page

 

 

you meant A CHANCE TO GET 1 FROM 107 MAKAROVS ? 

[Jonathan078NL]

I made a ticket too, cause I’m truly disgusted by the way WG is scamming every loyal customer that’s buying these Satan’s small, big and mega containers.Why do I first have to own or drop all these so called shortlist mediocre ships before I even get a chance to drop 1 of the 107 advertised ships? Why is this scamming mechanic not advertised? It’s because you intentionally wanna scam people. Disgusting! Shame on yourselves! No dime for WG anymore, ugh!
