Unified gold not any soon (if ever)

[FriendlyFyre]

I was wondering how long to wait for the unified gold, so asked support about this.

 

Maybe others are waiting for the same thing. So let me share Support's answer:

 

"Thank you for contacting us.

Currently gold is shared between World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, while premium time affects World of Tanks, World od Warplanes and World of Warships - currently there is no information about potential "common" gold with World of Warships, our apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

Kind Regards,

That is known for nearly a year now.

It wil Come but after there be more techtree's in game otherwise players can progress to fast and spoil the game with high tier ships so don't worry but give WG the time 

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

you know its good , they wont make shared , if u want go wot and buy premium time, its helps that trolls from wot not get t10 fast

It will never come. By now any player could get all tier 10 ships if he/she would grind only. There is no longer a point to not have unified gold apart form wg earning more money.

 

Besides It makes no sense because even with gold you still have to earn sh1tload of xp on ships to convert it to free xp. And how much gold you need to get tier 10? 30K gold to burn? More? Don't remember. And then you have to buy that tier 10 which also cost like 25mln of credits or so.

[YesYesYall]

I think it will happen but only when the game is basically dead.

 

When this happens it will be a big admission by WG that things are going badly - hoping to draw players from WoT etc to fill out player numbers. I get the point about forcing people to pay doubloons for free xp rather than let them use gold and agree, but, no players means no premiums being sold.

[BlueMoon51]

I guess the technical issues they have been working on can't be fixed!!!! 

[Babykim]

No why?? Promising it but not doing is a stronk Russian buzines model

 

PS: my 600th post is particularly thoughtful

Sorry, but that answer doesn't work any longer.  Any player, new or old, can purchase Tier 8 ships in the premium shop - so that defeats your logic about spoiling the game.

 

 

The answer is simple - money grab. Wargaming promised, even back during Closed Beta Test, there would be a unified account, and gold and free XP shared between all WG platforms.

The game is fully released - there is absolutely no logical reason for excluding WoWS from the unified account, beyond a money grab.

The excuse used at one time, was exactly what you said.  WG claimed they wanted to prevent long time players from WoT using their massive free XP and gold gains (clan wars) and immediately getting to Tier 10.  Why?

How is that any different than someone who installs the game, and immediately purchases a Tier 8 Tirpitz (the Lowe of WoWS).

 

 

They keep kicking this can down the road, and the problem is, we have simply accepted the lie over and over again.  Wargaming staff and "moderators" are more crooked, corrupt and deceitful than any politician.

The longer it's left, the harder it gets.

The conversion rate for exp and cash is consistent. However the rewards and cost of a ship isn't. Plus the rewards from battles are much much higher than in tanks.

 

If it was unified, the economy of one game or other would have to be rebalanced. Ships cost 25 mill at t10 and tanks... 10 mill?

 

One or other community would be butt hurt and demand a refund on any previously converted free exp.

 

Better to just buy premium with any tanks gold and accept it will remain separate.

That excuse is no longer actual or probable, because people have already "died their way" to tier 10`s. So, all we`re left is the reason that has always been the one: greed.

Unifying never claimed it would make common silver. And it can be argued that, over an hour, you get relatively equal xp anyway, by sheeps having longer games. So, if in tanks you get 3 games for each one in sheeps, the xp is roughly equal.

The excuse is that it takes time to do it and it's technical problems that are holding them up so soon tm is the current estimate.

I am Superman. It just takes time to take a selfie to prove it, though. Soon...

I think there is something on the Russian news thread that says that the technical issues are finally solved and it might be introduced at some point.

Funnily enough there were no issues whatsoever on WoWp release... Only thing that held "unification" was massive release event "who grinds tier 10 first" with significant rewards IIRC.

I remember it well

That White person talks about unified account in the video that was posted but i think he was being evasive about it  from what it sounded like from saying how it will be introduced as soon as they done the technical bits they already have the experience of linking it  to world of airplanes so it sounds like an excuse.

Then force a conversion rate when transferring WOT "gold" to WoWs "gold" accounting for the differences in credit and exp costs of doubloon conversion. Hell, have both gold and doubloons, with different conversion rates for each. But then it would be obvious that they are not living up to the promise of a true "unified" account, so they are sweeping it under the rug by simply not bringing it up at all, as is the way of all political censorship. If they really wanted to do it, they could. They even marketed it as such: "your wargaming account grants you UNIFIED access to etc". It is a money grab, I have no idea how you are even supporting this.

[DJ_Die]

I dont think gold is that much of a problem because premium item costs are very similar....its the free xp difference that would cause problems....you gain a lot more free xp in WOWs than you do in WOT....

[MudMonkey]

WG has a pretty good overview of how many gold each one of us still has in WoT and WoWP. That is obviously the reason we have a unified account with WoWP but not with WoT. Who has any gold in WoWP? Nobody. But who has gold still in WoT? Most of us.

WG wants us to spend money and therefore it is undisirable if we use what we have horded in WoT. To say it is technically not possible atm is just a lie.

[Vanhal]

Compare premium ship prices to tanks. You call that similar? Look just at Aurora, Ishizuchi, Murmansk. Or install the mod and look at them all. The only place when they come closer than hyperspace jump is tier 8, probably because even WG had problems believing people would buy tier 8 premiums for 15000-30000 gold and they would cost that much if they retained prices ratio from lower tiers.

[Rilohn]

Barring any technical issue, the economic argument against unification is not that great. Personally, I do not put any money into WOWP or WOT anymore because the account gold/doubloons is not shared.  As there is not that much to spend gold on in WOWS then WG get less cash from me as result.  If the account was unified I would probably play all games more and then want to put more gold in to purchase items across the full wargaming suite.

 

The "new players from WOWP/WOT will just unlock high tiers straight away" argument has been debunked by the high number of high tier ships that wallet warriors can purchase from the get-go.  Besides, isn't the captain levels designed to prevent people just diving straight in from scratch, more could be done in this space to control immediate access to higher tiers and random battles (etc) if that was a genuine concern that WG has.

 

None of the arguments seem to carry much water, maybe it just sits at the bottom of the to-do list due to other priorities.

Remember, that JamesWhite guy also said the Campbeltown would never sold on any server but the RU one.....and the very next day it appeared for sale on the Asian shop.

 

So I for one do not believe a word he says.

[Lolleroman]

Doubloons need to be changed to gold and unified with WoT.

 

Makes no sense to keep them separated.

I have 0 doubloons in this ship game and cant buy "garage" slots from discount because of that which makes playing the game with all lines difficult.

Then again, I have over 25k gold in WoT and no need to use them there...

 

Would like to play this game more but won't until you make the premium currency unified.
