PSA: Recent community incidents and our actions

[Vayle]

What about points brought up by other CCs as part of their leaving.

 

Do you really think it is morally acceptable to promote gambling to minors?

I think it is absolutely disgusting. The monetization of WoWS was going downhill already 2 years ago but now you have really hit rock bottom, breaking consumer and gambling laws in several countries.

I have, for a long time now, not spent anything in any wargaming product, and will continue to stay f2p for the forseeable future.

I also suggest to everyone who thinks similarly, they send report regarding Wargamings lootbox system to local gambling authorities. I see no other way that this absolutely disgusting marketing behavior will stop.

[SuperRenard]

Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful:

 

- fails to address the major points of CC complaints such as player feedback being repeatedly ignored and predatory monetization and deflects to a side topic that is merely a drop in the ocean, ie the Missouri.

- ridicules the entire community team with such a travesty.

- shows that ultimately, the company's opinion of us player reached a new low, thinking we're so stupid we're not seeing the refusal to discuss the main topics.

 

I'm truly ashamed to have financially contributed to the success of that company even if that was by a moderate amount. This is the first time I feel that way, and none of your stupid spreadsheets will tell you that.

[GuzLightyear]

This is.... just sad.

 

They even copied their homework from a reddit comment.

[Cippalippus]

This is becoming embarassing. I know it's your job guys, no hard feelings, but damn. Someone at the top is trying to make things hard for your community managers.

[Mcfly666]

Disgraceful

[Nuttyguy318]

I’m sorry but this is not an apology.

 

seriously wargaming you belittle and abuse your best most valued CC and basically force them out. 
 

you aggressively monetise this game and push aggressive gambling at a game AIMED AGES 7 AND UP

 

and you won’t address it.

 

as jingles rightfully put it #F@@koffwargaming

 

im surprised sub-Octavian hasn’t tried to say some bullc-rap about wargaming will improve and do better.

 

right now the player base trust EA better than they trust you.

Thursdays stream should be interesting..

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. 

..

Best regards, 

WoWS Team

Dude, her name is LITTLEWhiteMouse not AprilWhiteMouse... How respectless can you be? Her realname is April

Apparently you don't even know her name... sorry, but that's been a really pathetic statement.

 

EDIT:
Ok, just for the records: I just noticed she also used AprliWhiteMouse, although she's better known as LWM.

but they say that they are sorry about that, what you want hear more?

 

they not have more power for fix this because it was literally CC, LWM choice for leave.

They said that they are sorry that CC left not that they Are sorry for their mistakes and wrong approaches to communication. 

 

This statment is like we are sorry you felt that way or somthing. utter rubbish.

Poor Twins and co, that will get attacked, even when not their fault.

[Renko1917]

That's ok

 

I'll spend my money elsewhere til you actually resolve this correctly and honourably. Same goes for the imposed crew 2.0 rework on Tanks - noone wants this either 

[vereybowring]

Well the official statement confirms the CC's were correct to leave as it only shows the company does not care about them or the community in any meaningful way. 

"While some of these causes are self-explanatory, and our commitment to fix them remains," - no commitment has ever been demonstrated by them, only meaningless wordage they renege on repeatedly.

 

More hollow words from a hollow company.

[BruceRKF]

That is not an apology and to me it just says "CCs are gone, good riddance, let's carry on as before."

So, exactly as expected.

[thefed56]

Ok, so you're refusing to address the primary issues, and asking that we trust you to keep the 2 remaining promises that you haven't yet broken.

 

Not remotely adequate, not by a long shot.

 

I loved this game, having played since it first went into public beta. I have never seen such a successful game get destroyed within such a short time. Many games die quickly, but never when they have such good base gameplay, and sufficient marketing budget. Congratulations, you've managed to kill the unkillable.

 

I won't be spending another penny in this game. I don't even know if the game will survive this, so no point in me investing money anyway. 

 

And I'm fairly certain that the PEGI regulators will soon be in touch, because a great many of us have turned to them in order to register our concern over your aggressive pushing of gambling mechanics.

[Honrubia]

@YabbaCoe Can we get the official statement about Yuro? What your decision with that?

[Maris_Piper]

I don't always see Eye to Eye with Yabba Co but with resect this Sh!* Storm was instigated waay further up the food chain than him, and I would imagine the words were "Here Write This" , The Missouri did Pi$$ everyone off, the treatment of LWM was disgusting, The CC program was on Wargamblings hit list and the newer one's are mostly shills anyway, The constant Gambling being peddled on a PEGI 7 game is wrong on so many moral levels, But for me the disrespect of the Playerbase who pay everyone at Wargaming's wages is deplorable and commercial suicide, and now we get things like Racism/Anti Semetism thrown into the mix. And WG get Yabba to write that Pathetic Response, You just Could Not Make it Up 

 And as for Wargambling? Watch this Space for more Scamtastic Offers

You mean the changes and adjustments you literally already made without even saying a word?

Is this a out of season April fools joke?

 

And if they would have changed it to 50% what would it matter? There is something very obvious and very known thing with this mission. It is no mission WITHOUT AN END. It will end in 135 days. What do you think happens afterwards? I tell you what will happen. This mission will get deleted as they did it with the module missions. If they really wanted to hold that mission it wouldn't have an end date. Ah yeah I know technically not possible bla bla. This is also a very short period. So it will end at the end of this year.
After that the Missouri will be an Iowa class battleship, only worse. So it is uninteresting if they change that percentage value. It is just giving a bone to the dog to make him happy, telling him that he will get always this bone. Only that he get's this bone only once and after he finished it it is gone and there will be no replacement.

[Battleship_Nagato]

Wargaming, please go back in time, all the way to 1940, and get all your corporate leaders in a British merchant ship. Is this really how you treat the community? Where is the apology?

The old "Eternal" missions (the legendary module missions that they scrapped for the RB) also always ran from the 1st of January to the 31st of December, but they would restart (with your current progress) on the 1st.

 

So until it's actually gone and not renewed...

I'm sure they deserve a pay rise, Lots of gambling profits to pay for it

[TinFoil_Hat]

Why wasn't more of this included on the initial response?

Yes, I concur. Very much want to see if you'll be harsher than you've been to CC's who aren't racist, anti-semitist and generally foul. I suspect the answer is no, you'll give him free rein because you're desperate. But I hope for your sake that you don't, and instead make sure he is perma banned from your program and the game.

[Sunsetmoon]

The amount of money to be invested by me in this game is equal to the number of apologies present in this post. 
Ubisoft is no better but apparently they are selling the Siege of Paris while WG isn't selling anything.

PR affects sales.
:D :D :D :D :D
