Black Friday turning grey?

We get Cyber monday in EU. So, you know, we'll find out on Tuesday about what we could've bought during the weekend.

 

Because WG EU cares.

 

Edit: I think it's odd that a company whose income is at least partly based on selling virtual goods (make once, sell multiple times) doesn't make every attempt to sell more of those virtual goods... But what do I know about economics.

Or am I missing something?

 

I'm waiting for:

"Guys, friday is not over. We have 13 houres left."

 

"Delay" should be Wargaming second name.

 

As the community we raised this issue so many times. Missions, event calendar, infos about PT, sales, new ships, problems with events, changes......

Every time WG is late. So we are asking to make it better. And it is still the same.

 

I'm in this game since january. Every time WG is late.

Keep calm and prep your wallets.

Fixed it for you - RU and US are getting their news ... and you know what? It is even possible in these regions to have calendar on main page! "shocking"...

But at least they have time to move to off-topic thread about US Black Friday discounts....

Well, of course. Can't have the players see what the NA server is getting and then whine here on the forums, can we? No, no, no.

Ive just looked around all the regions, and yes, the EU region is the only one not to have a "special" up of some sorts for Black Friday.  Even Tanks has something before we do !!

Don't you see the logic? All other servers got something, so it's "gameplay" material there. EU don't, so it's offtopic. :sceptic:

Helloween too. But holidays and special sales are a time to rob give players more chance to spend money.

 

I'm not waiting for something big. I don't want to be disappointed. Again.

Discount for modules would be nice.

We're a difficult bunch to please, so WG appear to opting for the option of 'let's not please them at all' and forget Black Friday even exists. Well, either this or they are aguing right now on what to do to make us happy, haha.

Yup, this amazes me aswell?! Been working in sales as a manager for 20 years and if i missed an opportunity like this to set a new sales record my formel bosses would have had my head on a plate, no If´s about it. It just doesnt happen in the sales industry to miss a day like this to sell like crazy.

If i had been in charge in WG EU you would have had:

 

1. New updated great deals on the shop every hour on the hour, Some truly amazing deals would just be up like 40 min so create a insane craze and keep players spamming that F5 button all day, texting their friends when something pops up. 

 

2. You would have had random free prices to people buying stuff. "You bought 2 items? Here, have some free flags with that"! "You bought a Tirpitz? Here, have a free 10 points captain for it"!

 

3. You would have had a competition with some amazing prices, not only WG stuff but collaborating with other companys i would give out free gamers mouses, headsets and stuff.

 

4. Maybe pre-release a new IJN DD to buy for dabloons?

 

I would have broken the Internet more then Kim Kardashians latest nude photos

 

I live for this crap!

the only plausible explanation is

- pure incompetence

- enough sales even without any action or discount (why discount if people are buying for full price anyway, right ?)

 

nevertheless its a way to hell

Sharnhorst and Prinz bundles are in. Also Yubari if interested.

 

 

Camos. I wants more camo packs as the container drops have been a bit stingy lately.
