Due all respect, you name the ideas of Mis1 one-sided and thatway a no go? He didn´t want ALL of his suggestions in one special, but one or two of them might be a nice addition!
And since we are talking about one-sided, lets have a closer look on this special:
2x XP only for 3 types of spgs: when reading that, i felt like: wtf? There are dozens of threats created each day that complain or even rant against game-experience-ruining arty, and now the probably most hated game element is the only one to take the real and best profit of this spezial, supporting the way to more higher tier arties for the future and provoking a realrush of these spgs on games for this day?
I got raped the last days quite enough by spg´s dominating and ruining the games...i guess, today i will just stay in garage...
But back to one sided:
Rumours say, premium shells deliver a great advantage to spgs... what do i need to buy them? Oh... it´s G O L D !
Next:
Renaming crewmembers for G O L D !
Next:
50% discount for premium tanks that cost G O L D !
Next:
50% discount on certain tanks from wich some of them are positioned on key positions on the several tech trees. Great opportunity to get a foot in the door and not too expensive to unlock with some free experience.
You do not have enough yet? Well, collect XP with your elite tanks the next days and convert it for / with G O L D !
So...yes, it might sound a little bit sarcastic, but 50% of the special require gold for sure, the other 50% don´t require gold, but spending some Gold on it might be helpfull to take the full effect!
So THAT isn´t one sided?
Compared to that, some of Mis1 ideas sound really great, although most of them would also support the "gold" business, like 2x experience for specific tanks (not spg´s!), discount on Experience conversion and stuff...
I fully understand that you have and want to earn money with this game, and thats alright, but: Specials should feel like a gift for the community, probably even with some special bonuses for premium users to encurage more players to become a premium user, but they shouldn´t feel like "special days to milk the cash cow even better"!
