How and why is it possible to have a T10 with below 200 random games and a 'very bad PR'

The person has been seen with Shimakaze in T10 ranked and he obviously didn't know what to do with it.

While I'm perfectly aware that things have changed, and that while in 2016 you had to grind your [edited]off to get a first T10 it is no longer so.

 

9th of November he's a protected player in T4. 20th of December he's playing ranked battles in a T10 tech tree destroyer.

 

Again, perfectly aware, things have changed. So the question 'why' is rethoric. I know why. How though, I want to know.

 

Where did 700 thousand XP that is required to get to T10 of IJN DD line come from? Check out how many XP points have actually been ground, that quantity of games with that score, it's hardly that this person even ground 5% of the line XP. He has a miniscule amount of bad games on a T4 and T8 premium.

 

This person has sunk 19 warships in entire career. Even if WG gifted him 500.000 free xp he'd still be short.

How is this possible

Just to quickly pick up on this, there were several containers over the last few events (and even SCs) that drop Free XP in good amounts. So if you are willing to spend a dime, that's a way to get Free XP without actually playing the game.

Consider this and the 34 Atago battles, when stacked with elite signals, most certainly also gave a good share of XP/Free XP.

I don't think play+signals is a piece of a puzzle, at that winrate with that game impact with that number of games.

 

The thing that bugs me with loot boxes is the lack of any other premiums. He would get a ship drop before he got so many free XP. We are talking about scoring half a million free XP somehow, even if we accept that about 200k were possible through play+signals, dubloons and initial whatever WG gives you.

 

25k FXP was the drop from the mega box. That would require 20 drops.

I mean he didn't hack it for sure, there's a way to do it, I'd like to pin point how.

Well it is no secret that this person paid their way to Shima, and as you can see it was possible in some way. As we don't know we can only assume, and my assumption is through these 34 Atago battles (probably stacked with elite signals) and maybe some loot boxes.

If you are referring to the santa mega gift, these don't drop Free XP. Last Container that did was the Black Friday one, with 35k and a 17% chance. A 5% higher chance than getting a premium. It is perfectly possible that this person bought 10 Containers and only got Free XP, even though the chance of that happening is astronomically low.

Well most ships up to T8 can be grounded through in couple of battles given enough dragon flags and some 200+ xp camos, I can grind a line from T2-10 in like a week or so

17 battles in Yugumo are not enough with that WR and PR ... so I'd suggest you check COOP battles ...

How do rentals appear on players stats? It could be that?

 

I can't tell from my own stats, as the only rental I've ever played was Groz years ago in Clans, and WOWS numbers doesn't seem to include Clans...

Scenarios are easy way of getting "tier 10 out of a sudden", just buy yourself few T6s, grind the hell out of Operations and convert exp for "first recorded battle on this account being a Shimakaze"

It would appear that rentals do show up on wows-numbers.

There's records on my account for Lenin & Mutsu which I had during the rent-a-premium-for-credits event last year, but no longer have in my port.

Super-ships rentals kind of show up (as tier XI) in wows-numbers too in the "Warships stats by tier" table, although the final "Warships" table is still limited to a max tier of X, so you can't see rented super-ships there.

If i put my mind to it, when I regrind Harugumo line for RB, I can do it in a few days of hard grinding, or a week or so of semi grinding when i can be arsed. Camo/Flags etc. doesn't take long really.

Chatbanning a player doesn't cost a dime, fixing stuff does. It's the all rounded answer. Deal with it or leave. Show patience and understanding. :-)

Absolute obsession with getting Shima. One of those guys. Among Potatoes the opinion is widely spread that 20km torp Shima is the best ship in the game. They think they ll never get spotted and they can destroy everything with it.

Once some dudes asked me to join into their Discord after a match. So i did. Then they told me about their masterplan to dominate Clan Wars. It was using as many 20km Shimas as possible and flooding everything with torps. I tried to explain them that this is a terrible tactic but they were absolutely stubborn and convinced of this.

This would explain a big deal of the Shima captains that are sailing - lets be kind here - oddly.....

You get rental T10 for CB, right? I currently have an additional Yamato, Zao and Shimakaze in my port.

But the ship fairy Tincan Bell decided to let you use those rentals only in clan battles.

The magic of money given to Wedgie. &, in exchange, Wedgie gives everyone an 'atomic wedgie' :Smile_trollface: *.

* I don't normally use the troll face emoji but when I think of WG & this particular thread, it is utterly appropriate.

I didn't see this before I posted but this is even more succinct. (It's also hilariously funny - comic satire at it's best!)

True, but the image does not show if those are all types of battles he played or only those in one particular mode.
