DEPOT not a fair practice - WG should change it

[pontacringeoana]

I'm not against in game gambling but current implementation is easy misleading and will just give a sower taste to most of the players 

Why?   because is gambling x 3 so is hard  to asses the cost/reward

So many, players easy to gamble, will spend money for nothing they expected

1. You gamble to get tokens

2. You gamble for your wanted reward (probably Tier IX)

3. The final gamble what T IX you get, many of players could end get not what they want after they overspent

 

You could end spending a lot of money and get a T IX  you will not play with

So as is better to buy  the ship you wanted with a discount coupon  what is the goal of this event?  to play with people weaknesses for some profit

This is not fair play

[RuruushuVuiBuritania]

Might not be fair play, morally correct or upstanding, but it is legal, and that is all that matters to WG. Or do you think they accidentally posted the article on the Depot a day after release?

Hello, 

 

Right now unless you are currently one of those people who have the option of the premium container first it is cheaper to use your 25% dub discount and just purchase the Tier IX ship you want straight away.

Just buy a what ever the hell you want in the premium store if you're gonna spend real cash.

Depot isn't fair, but we are talking about the same people that said you could get Puerto Rico for free 

But when questioned if they would do it for free they gave a disguised no.

 

[Aragathor]

This event isn't supposed to be fair. it's supposed to test the waters.

 

The basic idea is having an RNG event where there are big prizes among the bull droppings. The "customers" aren't guaranteed anything and they can't buy all offered bundles.

If WG makes money, then they will continue with this design.

 

Imagine the next event, Musashi, Kamikaze, Enterprise, and other ships in rare and expensive bundles. The problem is, you can't buy everything.

WG rigs it so that the rare ships are in the next bundle after you've spent your tokens. Bad "luck", try next time "customer".

 

Have you noticed the Rip-Off in the Armory event doesn't have a drop percentage? That's how WG can walk around their promise to publish drop rates. It's not a lie, it's just an omission.

 

And now you know why I don't respect WG employees.

 

PS: I'm not allowed to use the word "sucker" here. Hey, rube!

this is russian way of doing business ffs

one russian journalist has made several reports about such business ... mostly in russian but at least one seems to have english subtitles

 

[triumphgt6]

Just do what I do and ignore all gambling!

[Asatori]

Yeah they promised us that they would start publishing the drop rates...

I think they did it once or twice, and they quickly figured out that people are less likely to gamble when they know that the odds are shite. 

 

And now instead they double down on doing the opposite by wrapping the gambling in more gambling. It's disgusting.

This.

 

The only effective action you can take is to not spend money on it; if enough people do that, WG will be more likely to dial things back in future. I'm not optimistic though; from what I see, WG have rather embraced the whole 'mobile' monitisation model.

 

Full disclosure: I spent a little on this thing, because it was in my interests to do so. I may not approve of the model, but I'm not sufficiently free of hypocrisy to make use of it when it benefits me. That said, if the offer had been better (and involved less gambling) I would have spent more.

Just remember your own lawmakers, which you voted for, don't see a problem with gambling boxes.

 

WG is doing this all according your countries laws. IT ISN'T ILLEGAL!!!!

Burning witches wasnt illegal either, was certainly an unethical and disgusting practice though.

Because they were not witches...

[OldSchoolFrankie]

Wargaming gave us a great game, but that's pretty much the positive thing to say. Please do not expect ethical decisions from Wargaming, you will most certainly be disappointed. You can see that everywhere in society today, but Wargaming is very special in my opinion. For Wargaming everything is business there is no room for individual fates. They overdo it with their greed.

That's how I deal with it, but it's not that easy for teenagers or addicts.

 

And as a note, Wargaming don't get any money or recommendations from me anymore!

People claim damage refunds or what ever the hell for what we did to the witches in the times of kingdoms. You can't Burn witches, is illegal, just like classic Sinterklaas. Can't wait till santa gets cancelled for having elf slaves.

 

WG is a bloody eldritch far worse and more gruesome than a witch

Woke people dont see their own wokeness

 

To be honest the whole western world seems to be drowning in wokeness. My own country especially.

Rather have you call me woke then be blind and daft for the world around me.

 

But let's keep it on-topic.

 

WG can do the heck they want, they don't force you and we all know morality is a silly woke concept, so who gives a dang anyway.

Don't spend a dime and we will all be ok.

[PaP_Mentoles]

FFS close your wallets to WeGreedy.

Learn at last. Stop giving them your hard earned money
