Imagine buying a beer in a bar instead of getting some bottled beer during Christmas sale in a supermarket. The beer will be out of the body soon anyway, and with bottled beer you at least get a bottle for putting some flowers in. All bars obviously should be closed down for doing such a ridiculous and pointless monetization. By the way, on to the topic, Tier X is not a top tier anymore and they are being sold for quite a while now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-TAP-] Pandafaust Players 755 posts 10,484 battles Report post #13 Posted February 17, 2022 I think Apple products are vastly overpriced too, so I haven't bought any. However, I really don't care enough about them to spend my time writing hundreds of posts on their forums about how their monetisation practices are shoddy, now everyone who buys one is a sheep, or how I'm going to be telling all my friends not to get one. For the firepower containers, honestly who the hell cares what they cost? If you don't feel they're worth the price quoted (like me) then all you need to do is not buy them. Unless I'm missing something, no-one is suggesting that they're a mandatory purchase to play the game. We're not suddenly going to see a massive influx of players at tier 10 with no idea how to play the ship, as that's activity which has been going on since the game released. There's already plenty of tomatoes out there with 10k or 20k battles under their belt who are just as incompetent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the beer I drink tends to not get nerfed I was never comparing with a single mug of beer only :) Those chips also add up to a price. And god forbid if buying drinks for someone else are involved... So that bar experience can get quite costly. And still you have to pay EACH WEEKEND instead of a single-time purchase of a unlimited-use keg. Sadly, the beer quality in a bar can also get worse :( So entertainment based on ship purchase is quite a good deal actually :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfectly normal choice. By the way, no-one forces you to buy beer in a bar as well. You can get away by sipping water, try your luck by making someone to buy you a beer, or finding some left without attendance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[VPM] OldSchoolFrankie [VPM] Players 989 posts 20,641 battles Report post #19 Posted February 17, 2022 It's unbelievable how disconnected the developers are from the playersbase. They just don't know their own game and don't realize that one of the biggest annoyances in high tier battles are the inexperienced players. Or the greed is just so great that they don't care about anything else. This decision will destroy so many rounds, I just hope the newbies don't get blamed and Wargaming gets the smack. This is just so bad.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was in Uni we used to calculate everything to "the price of a beer". And then we'd compare the LOL we'd get out of it. I still do that, and my conclusion is that for so many beers we'd also be getting f*cked... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, yes it's true that one of the drops within one of the three sections of the container is 12,500 FreeXP. Without making any statement on whether it's worthwhile or not, I'd point out that if you rolled FreeXP for each of the rewards, you'd get 62,500 in each container (so the same amount as you'd get by converting), but obviously you wouldn't need the xp in the first place to be converted.

anonym_ntfKigmJ0k9e Players 138 posts Report post #25 Posted February 17, 2022 I support selling Tier 10 ships for doubloons. I mean why not? Some people have money and they are willing to spend it on the game. I would gladly purchase some Tier 10 ships that I'm interested in, then to grind whole eternity through complete line. I think we need more Tier 10 ships for doubloons in Premium Shop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
