the top German ace all the time, lol? Makes sense with that in mind
to keep it the same on the NA and EU servers, since, generally
speaking, we care a lot less about nationalistic pride and that
type of thing.
That sounded racist, but it really wasn't, I swear, lol. I just can't think of any other reason you might have to rename it.

Overlord: There is certain connection between Wittmann and Waffen SS, that's
the main reason. No racism here.

What's up with the sub-par players on now?

speedowow, on Aug 23 2011 - 09:27, said: Ok, this is not a rant. Just an educated observation of the state
of game-play since I started back in June of 2010. I have played
plenty of battles and know my way around this game and several
tanks I play.
It seems every month that more and more "sub-par" players are in this NA server. I don't seem to have this problem on RU or EU servers, just NA server. And EU/RU servers do have an advantage with number of players, that could play part of my issue. I might only have 2~4 fuckmuppets on my team instead of the usual 10+ I see now.
Anyway on NA Server. I am talking about players that don't want to play as a team or jsut want to go fuck-off somewhere on the map. They don't seem to know/care where they rush or even try to defend. It has gotted to where 75% of the players just are not worth having in battle on my team. Maybe it's more like 85%.
Examples, Player is so focused and blinded trying to kill a tank that's hiding behind a building, they don't see the 3 tanks that just flanked them. They get upset at no-support, all because they did not pay attention to mini-map.
Or the players that do the absolute last thing you should do in a top-ranked tank, they rush and wonder why they died with not support. Smart players don't rush alone, in fact, most don't rush at all.
The one I like, is the player with a PzIV w/ long 75 procede to miss 8 of 10 shots? WTF, if you have grinded up to a PzIV a player should know how to shoot.
I have seen several players with over 1500 to as many as 3500 battles and yet kill only 1 tank kill per 3~4 battles? WTF? Are they rushing? Are they missing shots? Don't you think you would like to learn how to play better?
I don't know how they could still play if they are that bad. Is that a personal issue where they just want to lose so much? To compensate for something else missing from personal life? Maybe that's what is wrong. They expect everything to be handed to them and they can kill everything with no practice or patience?
It's has gotten so bad, that the only way I play now is with a Platoon/Tank Company/Clan Wars. I would rather pay $10 a month to have the rest of the server population just go away...
Comments are welcomed as I will be trying to talk to Developers/Wargaming.net about this issue. I have personally seen at least 350~500 players leave this game because of "sub-par" players, and they averaged spending $20~50 a month on gold for this game. That add's up, maybe Wargaming just lost 6~10k $$$ a month.
This is my 2 cents.
It's nice to have a free to play game, it's just unfortonate that it also brings in alot of rift-raft at the same time. It was more enoyable to play this game back when we had warping tanks/major spotting issues/memory issue and knowing I could count on the other 14 players to be there as a team. It was actually fun to know I played well and lost a battle, instead of have 5 idiots rush left field of Malinovka becasue they are god's in thier T29s and KV-3s...
To answer you 1st question, It's not sub-par players your seeing more of, It's NEW players. Second, 1 day RO for profanitites and insulting others.
ARGO
UPDATE
I have been talking with some WG/Dev's about this upcoming tutorial/training sessions they want to implement. That seems very promising, from newby to seasoned players. We all could use a refresh of the basic's of the game. Hope to see this in Beta server as soon as they start finishing Patch 7.xx or maybe 1st patch after that.
However, they do see a need for a "hardcore" random battle option, but feel like pushing 5 player Super Platoons at first. WG/Dev's will have a better capability to offer "hardcore" battle options in future patchs, so all will not be lost. damn
Bad news tho, patch 7.xx is still several months away. So we will continue to see "sub-par" play from higher-tier tanks in game. Either they don't know the basics; or like several posters here, they just want to "fuck" off in-game and screw thier 14 other teammates...
Oh well, got some good juice from this post. Will start copying my EU posts over here to NA as I tend to do more work there as I have a much better reception on EU for some reason.
Thanks for everyone who replied. I wish everyone one well and go kill some TANKS plz...

Overlord: Guys, there are some objective reasons that make account transfers
unavailable. Firstly one account is stored in several files (not in
a single one), secondly even we copy these files directly to
another database, it wont work. Yes, it's true that technically
account transfers are possible, but it cant be done without server
programming team, plus it requires much time. So transfer of each
individual account would be an unreasonable waste of time and
resources from the development point of view.
Transfers are frozen until the necessary functionality is ready.

the increased armor of the opposing tier VIII heavy tanks. The T32,

T5E2, make it the final gun upgrade on the T32, not available to

accuracy. No damage buff or RoF buff needed, just some decent
penetration and accuracy. The U.S. heavy line desperately needs a
true tier IX cannon.

drawbacks of T29 and T32, overall these tanks are better than their

blow up in Wargaming.net's face.
This is gonna hurt Wargaming and WoT real bad unless some damage control is done real fast.
And by damage control, I don't mean locking threads and stiffling discussion, as that will make things far far worse.

punished of itself, while ramming/blocking your teammates is outlaw
action.

If you want the map to get moving again then email the devs until they open up more of it. We just have Europe and north africa, the other server has all of Russia, all of Africa and all of the middle east. The map aint changing because its so small and there are so many clans trying to get into it.

though? The new method allows us to choose followers and then
ensure the codes are used once per person.

GeneralDirection: Just as an update, we've come up with a solution for most of the
concerns regarding this giveaway. While the solution will require
following the World of Tanks Twitter account (the original method
didn't), it also will raise the fairness level tenfold over the
other method.
Unfortunately I won't be able to have this method fully implemented before Monday, but here's how it's going to work:
Create a Twitter account
Visit the World of Tanks Twitter profile
Click the follow button
On Monday, September 5, 2011 we will select 40 random followers to receive the items listed in an upcoming news post.
That's it. No work from you required at all -- outside of following us -- and you only need to visit when you actually want to find out what we're up to on Twitter.
I'm going to post a revised version of today's news post tomorrow to make everyone aware of the new format for the giveaway, and to give some time to head over to Twitter and follow us.
Moving forward? We'll have to see. The original format was intended as a nice little perk for being on Twitter at a random time of the day, and being the first to see the code. Obviously that didn't work in a giveaway fashion like was attempted this afternoon. So we've changed it, and probably won't be going back if we decide to run something like this again.

the NA server, the game development is still headed out of belarus.

Wargaming, World of Tanks, and up coming titles like World of Warplanes and World of Battle Ships, is all expanding astronomically.
So the internal structure and systems are getting replaced and improved on a regular basis.
There is a new NA office kicking in to run the NA server, and a new EU office coming online to run the Eu server.
And until offices are up and running sufficiently there is a swap-over happening.
But to answer your question. On NA there is two Lead Community Managers.
Basically myself, that heads up the forums & external teams, like the mod wiki news steam etc sort of teams, etc.
And GeneralDirection is heading up the content, in forums/game events, statistics, etc.
We will try to keep you up to date with these changes as they happen.
Regards
Tan.
PS* A further 4 invites were sent out for news team helpers.
Thanks again for your help and support.

Why not give some goodies to ALL your players rather than a handful of fanatics that have the time to check twitter/facebook every 5 seconds. Double credits on certain tanks is always popular and would increase participation.
