Never seen anything so bad in an online community before as the current stuff going on in the official forum. The series of total fuck-ups is losing them credibility, loyalty and customers yet they seem to be doing almost nothing about it and communicating rarely.
They need to move quickly and decisively if they want to recover from the carnage. They're lucky they have pretty well a monopoly at the moment in what they do but still to make a balls up of that magnitude at a time of year when many of the triple A titles are released is staggeringly stupid.
I can't imagine the conversations going on in the WGA offices right now. As mentioned though they need to find their way out of the mess they've caused urgently.

It's not even hard to make it right. They're being obstinate and assuming people are going to buy anyway.

If War Thunder was on Xbox the whole thing would probably be sunk by now.

They're making alot of mistakes and bad marketing choices. It makes them look incredibly amateur.

I think this whole thing has been funny. Not in a good way though.

It seems to me that they swallowed the blue pill and have become infested with SJW morons. Boycott them you fucking idiots! The people on the forum are the one's spending the most money! Tighten the noose, then leave WG to jump for themselves.

They are truly fucking nuts. They don't enforce that rule properly. If you mentioned Boris Johnson in that way, with his hair, no one would bat an eyelid. They don't give a shit about anyone's politics but their own. And on top of that, the rule says "no negative portrayal of political or social figures that could create controversy" (or words to that effect). But instead of enforcing that, they just ban you for posting anything vaguely alluding to something slightly political. It's fucking mental. |

I can totally imagine the conversation at WG right now. "What shall we do to help improve our relationship with the player base Steve? Balance tanks, actually listen to the players for once?" "Dunno John, but do you know it's your turn to shout lunch don't you?" "No worries, the window next to me taste of bananas". |

What we need is AW to come to console to give WG some competition. Because the useless pricks have no one to challenge them, they think they can do anything and fuck the players.
Kinda gutted I got perma banned now, I bet it's so much fun over there.

I voted with my wallet. I could buy the bundles but given I bought and sold most of the tanks previously, wallet stayed shut, I will wait and buy something truly new. Anyway, arm is in plaster one more week at least  |

They're not selling Iwin buttons with these tanks. a black IS-6 isn't out there helping skrebs cleaning up games. balance is not broken, which is the critical issue they have to be watchful of. when they start selling pay2win tanks, this game is dead. I think this is why the likes of the waffle, arties, heshstar, etc aren't being and won't be changed. The giggle inducing op tanks are still free to earn.
Stopping the flow of the PMM tier 8 tanks was done cuz it was impacting MM. They do what they have to. They have a plan, they just don't tell us.
What have here is backlash to price gouging, is all

I disagree. I've seen tons of premium tanks about in every single game. I'm sure plenty of players have bought discounted premium time. Making plenty of cash. Do you think they are bothered about people complaining on various forums? Nope. |

It does make me smile when I read about people calling out for boycotting the game. Same people also saying vast majority of players don't go onto to forums to educate or find out more of the game. That should theoreticalyou mean, they probably not going to read about boycotting a game.

That should theoreticalyou mean, they probably not going to read about boycotting a game. Pretty much all free-to-play games make most of their money form <10% of the players. Those Players tend to be more clued up on the game, so I would think that the players that spend most of the money are on the forum. |
