Jewel_Thief: I'll admit, this made me giggle-- but thanks for daring to post the
things that you "hate." ;)
But yes, teamwork does actually happen in random battles... I love it when it happens-- totally makes my day.

Subject: Should WG NA Stop Running Specials?

perlfreak, on Jan 13 2013 - 23:16, said: It was a lie. You guys screwed up and took the special
off too early. In order to put the specials back on,
you have to take the servers down to fix
it. That's fine etc, I
understand. I do tech stuff, I screw up all the
time.
The lie is when you go back and try to pretend like the special was never supposed to last the entire weekend and so on. That is the part that is extremely insulting, because it's obviously NOT TRUE.

GeneralDirection: I will openly admit that the event *should* have ended tomorrow.
Ending an event on a Sunday is just plain silly.
The goal with all weekend events is to end on Monday. This one slipped through the cracks, so now we need to figure out how to seal that crack so it never happens again.

Link on message: #3480619

GeneralDirection: Why else would we give crew experience and credit bonuses, and
credit discounts? That seems counter intuitive to anything other
than for player benefit. Now you might be able to argue that for
gold-based purchases, but that is still a benefit. Buying garage
slots only when they're half off means you get twice as many slots
for the gold spent.

guess a Game Master or Moderator (those responsible for locking

comment on this and make decisions on what to do next as an Admin
(e.g. GeneralDirection, Major_Rampage). I could be wrong of

Of course it wouldn't be an issue at all if they hadn't screwed us with that crew purchase rule change in the last patch, which really seems petty and money-grubbing to me.
Not to mention how every time sales are compared with other servers, the NA server seems to be getting the shit end of the stick.
I am beginning to feel pretty under-valued as a paying customer.

GeneralDirection: I will make sure Major_Rampage adds the crew training discount to
the same event the Tiger P will be a part of over the first weekend
of February. Also just a heads up, but you won't miss out on the
crew experience bonus either; we're looking to do 3x crew
experience that weekend.

having a string of bad luck? Unless you have proof to back up your
assertations....? And, how do you rig platoons anyways?
As for the Caption Contest, are you sure you posted a caption in the CORRECT thread? I tried looking to see if there was any basis for your accusations, but couldn't find a caption for you, never mind proof that the contest is rigged. If this did really happen (which I highly doubt by the way) than there are proper ways to deal with this - such as screenshots sent to Support and/or contacing an admin. Or contacting Major_Rampage directly to figure out what is going on.....
Making groundless accusations without providing any hard evidence is not the way to get any beneficial results, and is just plain in bad taste.

spending $300 over the past year I am not going to let a company
off the hook on false advertising with the Tiger P issue as i
changed alot of stuff to buy it on sale and play. When a company
can basically say "no mistake move along" and not treat customers
fairly, you have to wonder about them. In the end a smart business
decision would have been to keep the Tiger P in place or add it
currently. In the end it cost them alot more in not having it
(customer service) than removing it and irritating customers/users.

We are sorry about the typo in the article. And as Hobbstrocity mention we do have the Tiger P on discount all of next week. And to make up for the credit bonus that is also missing we will be having the Tiger P earn DOUBLE credits for the first week end of February. Once more sorry for all of the confusion.

dance210: Just in case you missed it, WG did if fact acknowledge that a
mistake was made and the wrong tank was on the
announcement. They are also trying to make up for it,
with double credit income in February (see below). So, be mad that
a mistake was made, but do NOT say that all they did was say "no
mistake move along." I know nothing about programming,
but it may not have been possible to add the Tiger P this weekend,
and this and the upcoming Tech Tree focus are the best solution
possible at this time.
