two? People get angry because their concerns don't get
addressed and that's what a forum is for.

Quote olks,
Please note that flooding the Support system with tickets during non open-transfer periods will not get you anywhere. You will receive a stock answer. The Support personnel are simply working with our policies and procedures on this matter.
We understand that you would like open transfers-- your concerns have been heard, and passed along. As such, we will be closing this thread up.
Thanks everyone,

You may think it is a dumb reason, but a GM can only do SO much before the community is at the point of harassing the GMs with something out of their control.

I am just trying to inform people who complain that they don't know how to "Create buzz" when they want something in the game.
Many of the topics are nonconstructive and just create clutter. The first thread of the "Server Switch" was locked because WG had already acknowledged the issue, posting more and more after that was just attempting to beat a horse that had already been wheeled off to the vet.

There are people around the forums who try to "create buzz" by writing angry letters. The other day there was a "server switch" thread that was locked because all it had was a support ticket letter in it and was complaining how the mods had locked it.

When a tank gets split into two, wargaming has been kind enough to give us the second tank with a 100% crew. Knowing this is possible, I *have* to believe that they can in the very least, give you a superfluous crew with... say 2.5 skills. They might not be willing to do this, but I have to believe it is possible.

happening there is that it's a tier 7 game, but the chaffee is the
only tier 7 (even though it's a 5). The same thing happens during
the rare time you see an arty such as a hummel at the top of the

Challenges, they just will start out unranked. After participating
in 5 eSport events (e.g. weekly skirmishes or monthly challenges),
your team can sign up for elo ranking, which can be applied to all
future eSports events. Hope this helps. Any other questions, feel
