Not even Warcraft, League of Legends, FIFA are as expensive as this game. WOW is not free to play. you must buy the game then pay to play past leval 20. Fifa and League of Legends can you play them with no subscription? Warships is not the most expensive its Free... Also Prem time has not changed price in a long time!! you live in Europe (even though UK seems to want to leave) EU servers are in Euro. The Pound has just devalued against the Euro so you have to pay more if you pay in pounds... Edited April 8, 2016 by T0byJug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even Warcraft, League of Legends, FIFA are as expensive as this game. Except WoW is clearly more expensive, as two seconds of searching can confirm. War Thunder is also more expensive, as is Warframe, Armoured Warfare, etc. And frankly, premium time is less important in WoWS than it is in any of those other game (except perhaps Warframe).

The game is free so it is up to you whether you pay for Premium and you seem to forget currency conversion. In fact the price for 30 days has dropped 2p since your first post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even Warcraft, League of Legends, FIFA are as expensive as this game. Premium is completely optional and not necessary to play the game in any way, though. (But definitely recommended if you wanna play T9/T10) The cheapest way to buy premium at the moment is the Paypal offer, by the way. Just use the doubloons to buy premium time in-game. Second best choice is the Skipper Bundle, which is pretty much always on offer. Provides you with 1 month of premium and 3500 doubloons, which is enough to buy a second month of premium and have 1000 doubloons left over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_EFwxJOPWzlER Players 1,473 posts Report post #10 Posted April 8, 2016 ,This free game talk is not so true, in game, this is the most expensive of all, buy ships at crazy prices, Premium rising yet no justification, buy port slots to be able to buy a ship with credits, pay to research ship and pay to buy ship with credits (without premium this will take forever, but you will still be stuck if you don't buy a port slot), pay to mount modules with credit, pay to demount modules if you sell a ship at a lot less than you paid for it. I will stop there because it just gets very silly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will stop there because it just gets very silly GOD MAN Premium is not rising. The shop is in Euro the price has not changed in a long time (well over 1 year I believe). The price in UK fluctuates as the value of the Euro to the Pound Changes. The issue for you is uncertainty over UK leaving the EU is weekening the pound. Ships are expensive yes!!! But as a mount in WOW can cost 25€ something you just use to travel not fight! is a ship so bad Also you sell a ship for about half the price you pay! most games don't give you that return Edited April 8, 2016 by T0byJug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will stop there because it just gets very silly As i quoted before - he stops here.... Who is actually forcing anyone to buy premium ships? Ist neither pay to win nor pay to succed, it is only pay to accelerate - which is fine. You are right as far as the economy with Tier 9+ is concerned - but you have a decent amaount of port Slots (and there were some _free_ missions to win a port Slots too) that you may keep some mid-tier ships to keep your credits flowing in. Suggestion: you accept that you have an opinion you tried to share and did not find too many who agreed with you. End of story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #14 Posted April 8, 2016 I have no issue with spending money on WoWs. I have spent a lot on the game already, and will continue to do so (e.g. buying doubloons to retrain captains, buying interesting premium ships) What I will NOT do is buy any more premium time after my current period runs out. I feel that it has actually been counter-productive for an average player such as myself, because I needed much more time to grind through the tiers. Accelerated advancement through the tiers has meant that I've just been constantly struggling - and struggling badly. I've now gone back to a tier which is one step beyond my comfort level, so that I have a moderate (but manageable) challenge. I feel a lot happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accelerated advancement through the tiers has meant that I've just been constantly struggling - and struggling badly. I've now gone back to a tier which is one step beyond my comfort level, so that I have a moderate (but manageable) challenge. I feel a lot happier. Fair play. If you're not grinding (I am always grinding something) and just playing your ships for the sheer fun of playing, then your best bet is a cheap premium ship like Murmansk for credits. But you don't even need that to get income if your happy playing tier 4-6. It's still pay to rush, not pay to win. No way do you "need" premium below tier 7 even if you aren't brilliant. I'm not bothered about the price yet. I bought a year in one go I'll happily buy more premium time as long as there are new lines to grind. If that stopped I wouldn't have premium either. Oh and you don't need doubloons. You don't *need* to keep all the ships and you don't *need* to pay for retraining. There is even coop mode if you don't want to retrain in randoms. Just takes more playing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are obviously somewhere in Great Britain so how is the Pound doing to the Euro which is probably what all of the EU premium shop rates are based on. Also did your VAT rates change?

Also did your VAT rates change? No VAT changes I'm aware of but the pound is sliding against the euro mostly on fears of UK leaning the EU.
