How long until Minsk realizes the ineptitude of WG EU and cleans house?

Block Quote Mods that totally alter *how* you play the game, are the types of mods we would recommend players to reconsider and exercise caution when you think about using them. When you’re being fed information that is not normally available either from your own eyesight/field of vision, and are basically relying on your mods to dictate what you should do and when, that’s when things are going too far. If you’re sitting next to someone with a default client, you would clearly have an advantage over them as you’re getting game data they don’t have and you’re using that to decide what to do.

Ectar: As players you're all capable of thinking for yourselves, and having the viewpoint of "Well you didn't say specifically...." more or less shows your attitude about dubious addons in the first place. It's really not difficult to use the statement above to realise if a mod is dictating how you play or when you do something. Wait, don't other regions list the bad mods? At a very quick search on the different regional forums: The RU forum list some functionalities. The NA forum has an 18 page Q&A and the SEA forum has a very recent post pretty similar to the EU forums. The SEA forums specifically states it won't provide a list for multiple reasons (similar to what's written above). Our activity on the forums may not be as visible as it was previously however that doesn't mean we're not listening. We have multiple games to cover and have been involved in preparation for both General and Warships recently. I'm sorry if players feel we're not as active as we should be and we'll take some steps to correct that and be more visible.

Forums - staff have not be seen here for ages with odd replies in not important topics. Transparency - it got to the point where RU ( as in RUSSIAN) cluster have more transparency about what's going on, than EU, supposed to be more free, cluster. Just look at bot situation or recent cheat mod. I could go on and on about it if you wish.

Ectar: Portal and Support are not things I can comment on. Forums - Staff have stepped a bit back from the main sections to more allow players to discuss things amongst themselves. It's amazing in a way to watch people refuse to see someone else's view no matter how well explained their answer is however so I'll be having a slightly more active presence there. Forums are a place for players to come for discussion, it shouldn't always be looked as as a place to expect an open Q&A where every topic has an official reply. Transparency - I'll explain this again. World of Tanks is a game that was launched in the RU region almost a full year before EU and NA, by a Russian speaking development office and team, for a Russian market. As I keep pointing out, and players keep choosing to ignore, the structure and interaction at Wargaming is the complete opposite of any normal western game/company you're used to. The main support and information flow is to their biggest and home region with happens to be Russian speaking players on the Russian servers. It's over 4 times the numbers of the English speaking players. In most other companies that flow comes from an NA head office to their NA region first then filters to EU and then to any non EN language portals/offices they have. What you want exists, sadly it just doesn't exist in English (or Polish, German or Chinese to give examples of other large player groups).

Ectar: Source? By this I mean something other than "A guy who claims to known a guy, claimed that other guys said.....". Rumours are never really something that should be taken at face value and spreading them to then say "Hey I just heard, from XYZ I mean it might be totally wrong", is a free pass to essentially say anything without being accountable.

Maybe you got good service for this little gem... Community Contributor

Ectar: BigBidVuk has already explained about the red font. Next time please be aware of the forum rules you agreed to follow. "Community Contributor" is a title that is only shown on the forums. Behind the scenes a contributor account is no different to any other account. People getting what they want and getting good service is just the expected social norm, so people rarely make a big deal about it. People are generally only vocal about something that doesn't go their way or something they dislike. Sadly "There is no news like bad news" as Elliot Carver once said. Now we can gives players a perfectly honestly and straight reply, but because it's not what that player specifically wants to hear, we're wrong/bad/don't care. It's far more easy to create a drama and see the resulting fallout, than to positively reinforce something and see the resulting happiness. I'm sorry when that happens but please believe me when I say we're always represent your issues on a weekly basis. Now I know some players still want a specific reply regarding specific topics. All I can say to that is that we're looking into things internally and if we feel a different reply is forthcoming, one will be. For now our answer regarding addons/mods is still the same message.
