Pow_tae_toe Players 108 posts 8,580 battles Report post #1 Posted February 13, 2021 I like to provoke bit... and just because I sense some weird , almost hostile frustration towards half of the playerbase from a lot of people here on this forum. I kinda wanted to know if you think the game would be better without all us potatoes in it. So vote yes if you think WG should remove all sub 50% wr players. And no.... I do not do this as a mean to justify my wr. I care abort my wr, but I'm just not better than this. Maybe lots of the low wr ppl only have a few hours a week to play 1 4 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TF] meuhbat Players 317 posts 3,636 battles Report post #5 Posted February 13, 2021 If you do that, after some time you would be back to the same proportion of over and under average players, so you split again and keep 1/4 of the playerbase ? Then after some time, you know... is that a new kind of battle royale ? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SURFA] mdjmcnally Players 434 posts 18,363 battles Report post #9 Posted February 13, 2021 The problem there is A) you would have a very small playerbase straight off, most of whom are probably the whales that keep the lights turned on, who will likely stop playing with massive drop in income for WG. B) remaining peoples WR will average out and some of those will start to drop below 50%, so do they now drop out. C) repeat B. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MimosA_A Players 266 posts 8,636 battles Report post #17 Posted February 13, 2021 Banning people from gamemodes is ridiculous. It would however be nice if the really really terrible players (you know, 10k games, 39% wr...) get a message in port every now and then informing them of the existence of co-op and that that might perhaps be a more suitable environment for them.

bobtherterrible Players 867 posts 14,307 battles Report post #18 Posted February 13, 2021 Maybe there should be a written exam, and then a test game where your performance is judged by a panel of amazing players before you're allowed to play. That would be so lovely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect situation from WG perspective - just reroll and buy T9 or whatever tier you want.

I kinda wanted to know if you think the game would be better without all us potatoes in it. It is a misconception. Most people in the forum actually have no issues with potatoes. The issue only arises when a potato comes to the forum to claim some nonsensical stuff, like how a yamato cannot push because it has weak amour. In actuality, if a potato needs help or has questions and phrase it in a proper way, the forumites are more than willing to help them, be it advice, replay review or i think even playing with them in game. So yeah 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather to see that limitation on sub-par players set even broader: keep all players with a <90% CoOp winrate out of CoOp battles. Can't have these people risk their health by having to do something as difficult as playing a computer game and breathing at the same time... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm >50% but it causes me a lot of stress knowing what's at stake when I play, I'd rather there was no WR so I could enjoy the game and not feel bad then my team crumbles, lowering my WR. OR the enemy team has an ace DIV way above my skill range. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MMAS] Elidips Players 16 posts 16,695 battles Report post #24 Posted February 13, 2021 New players in newly purchased ships should not be able to enter randoms immediately. May not be too aware of it but the player is ruining the game for the rest of his team. Especially if they are in a CV. I have had terrible experiences for the last couple of weeks about either afk or clueless CV players. But hey.. we all know WG don't care. They had been selling t10 ships for quite a while now and they wont prevent new spenders jumping into randoms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
