The Hunt for Steel Continues

In the newsletter, where the rules for the event are provided, they state that you can get 100 points per day, by doing the mission of getting 2 kills in any number of battles. Yet, ingame it's not working like that, you need to get both kills in same match. People have pointed this out, but WG has done nothing...they'll probably just say it was a typo. But here's the thing, it's not our fault there is a typo, it's theirs. The rules of the event are there and the company organizing doesn't respect it's own rules. That might be considered a crime, of false advertisement. Yet, nothing has been done to fix this, no comment from WG, just total silence. That says alot about their view towards their playerbase.

They also state that they found that everyone could get rank15 by just grinding. But isn't that true to all events they create? You could get rank15 in Frontlines by just ranking Sargent, it would take you 100battles; you could grind Berlin, you could grind the rocket-tank, you can grind tech-trees. Only exception are the campaign missions and those challenges for tanks. Everything else in this game is about grinding. But all of the sudden, they decided to create a skill-gap in an event.

Not only do you need to grind more to complete the damage quest, which takes 50% longer now, there is also a mission for 2kills in one battle (it shouldn't work like that), and that's not easy to do. I get top5 more times than I can get 2 kills in one game, and for an average player that might mean another 700 points they won't get. So not only are they losing 300 points from being forced to top placement, there's another 700 from having to do a very hard mission, for a total of 1k.
And the reason is very obvious!

To be fair, this isn’t exclusively an “old mother Russia” behaviour; it’s a macho management problem.
  If you admit mistakes, people will challenge your future decisions.  Therefore, you must never admit a mistake.   Of course, if the company never officially makes mistakes, it will be unable to improve as there is no need to improve as mistakes are never made.

Yes, against us, never seen a company so adamant of stroking the cat in the wrong direction, if you get my meaning!
