[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #2 Posted May 10, 2022 Banned for not spending? I find that unlikely. The game seems to throw freebies at F2P players, especially new accounts. Including a lot of rental ships, coupons etc. with the purpose of getting them to spend money. My recommendation (currently) is that don't; I'd wait and see where the game is headed first. Especially not if you are not experienced enough with the game, the ships and... WG mode of operation.... particularly the latter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,322 battles Report post #4 Posted May 10, 2022 Well save form the occasional email freebie and a code here and there I don't get much love from WG. Even though I'm a whale. They should have at least given me a Beluga badge for having bought so much stuff. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[A-MD] SkipperCH Moderator, Players, WoWs Wiki Team, Freibeuter 6,894 posts 18,437 battles Report post #6 Posted May 10, 2022 I'm pretty sure that there are mechanics in place to select whom to provide with a bonus. Someone who is always spending money won't get padded since he will continue to do so. And if he stops he will get a treat. Others who spend less or haven't spent anything yet will get a bigger bonus. I personally haven't gotten a cashback coupon ever beside the birthday one. I also never got a rental ship (I can remember at least), or any other gift beside the ones everybody gets. And no - no one is getting banned for not paying money. The ones paying for premium ships/time are the once financing your non paying. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[_I_] Nibenay78 Players 3,266 posts 27,734 battles Report post #18 Posted May 11, 2022 Didn't spent money since prem time in 2016 or something (for the record). Any offers that require real money are ignored, but I think I get some regularly. They are clicked away asap. Freebies are nice, but unless it's dubloons or steel, I tend to not even notice they appear or I just assume it was some mission that I didn't know about... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like my account can't get baned if i spen no money right ? So wargaming f2p model tends to entice people into spending money. This method is similar to how some sketchy drug dealers work. First hit free everything else cost money. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like my account can't get baned if i spen no money right ? The game seems to have some algorithms to determine what kind of free stuff you get. Pretty sure you will stop getting free rental premium ships as soon as you buy a premium ship. They seem to know what kinda stuff to give away for free; the kind of things people wouldn't buy anyways... But hey, you won't be banned. Free-to-play games need free players as well as paid players. While paid players get the game the income it needs, free players give the game the player population it needs (and thus, gives paid players someone to play with/against). So don't worry about it. Enjoy the free stuff you get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It fit well in my fleet too because I didn't have a ship like it at T8, much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
