Transition From Launcher to Wargaming.net Game Center

eekeeboo:   Many of the problems you mention are problems because people don't like change and don't like to use different systems they're used to using. WGC has a great many quality of life improvements for some and not for others. The original client was very much a fit for purpose for the old game, we have many new things and a new tool will help bring things forward.

I will not install WGC because: - for me it's typical malware - I don't want to be spammed with unwanted commercial. For same reasons I'm using GOG instead of steam for digital games. If you will force WGC to all users I will just quit and I won't be alone in such decision. Good that I have last 3 months of premium account. And at the very end - good luck with more 'happy players'. 

eekeeboo:   The game client does not work the same way that WGC is intended to be used.  If that is how you feel about this, then no matter the amount of discussion and highlighting the areas that are inaccurate are unhelpful. This is the tool to use moving forward and this is the tool you will need to use.

Personally, I'm already getting tired of all those game centers / portals / stores which are basically nothing but unnecessary bloatware and adware and developers keep forcing them on people. We already have a huge amount of ingame ads (via "intelligence center", which can at least be disabled by mods, luckily) and this is really not required.   Allow all players to have a choice of using it or not. That would be fair. Forcing woudn't. Without such choice, this will be the last straw for me.   Sad to say, but all this is a good indication of where this game is heading - to more advertisements, more promotions, more bloatware. I wouldn't be surprised if you developed your own OS within a few years, full of advertisements for premium tanks, of course.  

eekeeboo:   You should also consider a free to play game works through advertisement and the more systems a person can use as a mod to disable ads then the more a company has to find ways of then advertising to potential customers.

It wasn't just on by default.   Whenever any of my applications crash I get the option to send a report (if I want to) and also if I want to include system information or not.   It's an option and the choice always lies with me, the user. Not whether or not the application maker just wants the data or not.     43GB size, that 43GB is needed to run the actual game, it's content. The launcher is just a tool to launch a game or update it, nothing more, nothing less, so it should use as little HDD space as possible. Again, a launcher (tool) using up more space then tons of games (content) is bad.   Images, we don't need tons of images in a launcher apart from the graphics for the buttons/frame and a header image.   We already *have* a fully working functioning launcher, we have had it for 9 years now and it's never had an issue, it's smaller, and there is no good reason to replace it for most players as they only play WoT.     Cobra 6

eekeeboo:   At the same time, anti-cheats should not be at the discretion of the player when they're running and working for instance. Or monitoring the hardware is suitable for the game for things like settings or how it's not a random PC from a random location using your account through nefarious means. There are a great many things WGC does that the old launcher does not to, intended for purposes that were suitable at the time but as it is now with WG and the universe it is no longer able to do what it needs to do and what WG needs it to do.
