Gee, you don't say. What a surprise, I would have never thought that WG would lie about something so drastic and game changing as trying to shoehorn a class into random battles which has no place there not just according to the majority of the players at least at that time and frankly I don't believe WG for a second with their claims about 'wide community acceptance' since no poll anywhere supports this except their magical spreadsheet, but more so from the actual developers those active around those times had interactions with making it perfectly clear this isn't a developer choice but one driven by the drive for monetization above all else. 

 

The suggestion to add submarines but limit them to scenario's is just as old as the statement they don't fit in random battles, and it's just as true now as it were all those years ago. 

 

I mean, that's just so out there I don't know who could even imagine something so wild. 

Trust me. I been dealing with their lies and broken promises since WoWP CBT in 2012. I’m sure some from WoT been dealing with it longer.

Its step 1 in WeeGee's crisis management book to always make it worse.

...did you really not get the sarcasm?

Sarcasm is not something you can read, you have to hear it. For all I know you where a wanna be shill for WG. Next time end with #Sarcasm or something.

So yeah, it passed me. And if you look at your rating at your post... I was not the only one.

What is happening Wargaming?
You used to be very good at apologizing when you get court lying or cheating and then continue lying and cheating - now you can't even that anymore!!
Plz give us more expensive and broken premium ships and loot boxes and plz don't pretend that you wanna change....  

[TheEnglishPig]

ah yes... this is totally sufficient. You guys forced me away from the game by ending Mac support but my god am I glad that I had that decision made for me. You're really running a clown show over here

Hello everyone, 

 

We are awfully sorry that AprilWhiteMouse and other CCs are no longer a part of our Community Contributors Program, and we’d like them to know they will be missed. We respect their decision and want to thank them for their contributions, devotion, and passion for the game and program over several years. We wish all of them best of luck and hope that they will stay in touch with us nevertheless, we will always be here to talk. 

 

We understand that there are several causes that have led us to this situation and that we have upset and disappointed many of our CCs and players. While some of these causes are self-explanatory, and our commitment to fix them remains, there are a few specific points we’d like to comment on: 

 

• We appreciate the community feedback about Missouri being obtainable via Random Bundles exclusively in 0.10.7. We've been discussing this since last week and decided to add an alternative way to purchase the ship. We will provide details on our Devblog soon.
• On the topic of Missouri, we know that there is an open question whether her earnings are on par with the pre-update version, especially considering signal flags and camouflage bonuses. We're carefully analyzing her adjusted earnings following the update, and will share our decision whether any adjustments to the mission are to be made.
• Regardless of AprilWhiteMouse's CC membership status, we will stay true to our commitment to release HMCS Huron in 2022. She’s been added to our production plans and is scheduled to arrive around late Summer 2022.  

 

Best regards, 

WoWS Team

Sorry to say that, but this is not an apology, it's just a statement and there is only one who has to step forward and that is @Sub_Octavian because all points at him because he is the one that have been behind that have happened for the last 3 years and he has to apologise to the entire player base and make it all good again and then resign from his posision, but i guess that he is to big a coward to step up @YabbaCoe

You're wrong in my opinion, do you not pay attention to his clan tag it basically adds a Kappa to each post

So pathetic...

 

Could you please send me the address of the studio in St. Petersburg? I'd like to deliver dozens of clown costumes to our beloved developers. At least that would be a better use for my money, than this game^^

What if their revenue spreadsheet says there are no issues? Maybe players are the problem, not the company.

No no it is not called that it´s real name is spreadsh**t you know that @PotatoWarriah 

[Peffers]

this is roughly what I expected as a WG response, both culturally and strategically. 

 

The additional time required was not to craft the response but to model impact on revenue and the impact on the current business plan.  i.e. what needs to delayed, what can be expedited, does it effect the overall goals of maximum monetization.  It would appear that the overall game plan has not changed just the timing and the order of the steps.

What a pathetic " apology ". And this took WG 4 days. They throw this at us, and probably upper management thought this gonna be enough. Like our ex prime minister said about protestors : " They gonna get bored and go home . "

 

It is good to see this whole dumpster fire was for the community one straw too much. I like this game, but i hope this whole PR disaster gonna hurt WG in the long term. They seriously need to rethink relations with the playerbase.

 

[ScruffyNoob]

Excellent non-apology from Wargaming. Dirty politicians dram of sending out such "apologies".

 

I really feel so much more assured in my decision to keep pouring money into WGs pockets - NOT.

Just to be sure you won't miss that. DevBlog post about Missouri event and economics has been posted in DevBlog part:

 

Original post: We did nothing wrong

Missouri post: So we don't get the Missouri for completing the campaign. We only "unlock" it for purchase in the premium shop. So basically we have to waste both our time and money to obtain her.

I'll never spend a single cent of my hard earned on a Wargaming title again.

Pathetic.

[Soused]

It was so easy WG,

 

the only thing You had to say was "sorry, it was miscommunication problem, we will do better next time" :-D

 

Seriously shame on You, You crossed all lines with this nonapology.

[RG9T86]

Well this dumpster fire is raging even harder. I think WG needs a new PR team cause there ain't no redemption from this.

[Thwackerblaster]

Exposing 7 - 16 year old kids to gambling . Contemp for CCs and the people who love the game the most and play it the most. Sexualised Kiddy Captains that are of a Peodophilic nature. Unable to admit your mistakes, over and over again. Unable to say sorry. Is it really so hard to treat people with respect? Imagine if World of Wargaming had an amazing realationship with it's  community? Don't you think that that might actually bring more people to the game and keep people involved and playing? Whatever, I doubt any or many of you will read this.

I don't believe they had a PR department to begin with.

cant wait for the apology post, this post must be some prologue 

[Prophecy82]

Congrats! 

I think this is the most downvoted OP ever!

[Leonez]

Dear Wargaming

 

i dont write mutch on this forum but this time u have crossed a line even for me. 

we are ur customers the members of the cc Program

represents us the players we that give u money in return for ur product.

to treat LittleWhiteMouse thay way u have is shameful we lost a importent part of the game becos u can not say ur sorry and u where wrong. 

for all the work LittleWhiteMouse have put in to this game she shod have here own ship by now.

u have broken a bound between us the players and ur company today that u cant repair. its not abut a ship its not abut a game its abut how u as a gaming company treat ppl.

ppl that devote a huge amount om money and time in the game. 

 

this is a sad day for World of warships

 

LittleWhiteMouse u made the right choice to leave the cc program and i wish u all the best u deserv it u have made this game so mutch better its just sad that Wargaming dont see that.

 

i will not spend a cent more on this game.

[Datz68]

Dear WG,

people are more and more upset because of your behavior... why do you want to be in a war with players? 

Why?
