15th or 16th? OR? I have asked game support and, as usually, I
got no useful answer just to follow news. Postponed to Sunday 16
AugustSael_: The choice to delay this event was a consequence of external
causes that we could not control, hence the lack of specification
of a new date. Once we are sure we can share more reliable
information, you will know the exact dates.

gold. I won't buy any but still its good to have stuff
available.Will those tanks be avaliable in the ingame shop always
or only on anniversary time (few days or week)?why can i not find
the E 25, wasnt it today it was suppost to be up for purchase ? and
where is it if it is 
why can
i not find the E 25, wasnt it today it was suppost to be up for
purchase ? and where is it if it is Sael_: I'm afraid you misunderstood the news article.Here's a bit of
important info: every tank has a fixed gold price in our database.
That gold value in turn determines the price in real money of the
vehicle. Consequently, lowering the gold value of a tank in our
database means that it will also cost less to buy in real
money.This is what we have announced, a permanent price drop for
all tanks - we are not going to sell all those tanks for gold. At
least, definitely not all together on the specified date.The date
is for when the price drop will be in effect, and it was delayed by
external causes.We cannot tell you when are we selling which tanks
for gold or in the Premium shop in the future, what you know right
now is that their price will be permanently lower, whether you will
be buying them in the Premium shop for real money, or in the game
client for gold.
gunslingerXXX, on 07 August 2020 - 05:45 PM, said: so... it says reduced prices for tanks you cant actually buy at the
moment? whats the point in that? 
Sael_: It's a big permanent change that is part of 10th Anniversary,
as a celebration - we're announcing this now as a disclaimer for
all future offers. I'm frankly more surprised that you wouldn't
want to know that. 
PZoli, on 07 August 2020 - 08:16 PM, said: Now, if only you could bring an equal amount of talent to
the balance department, that'd be grand. Also, my point was
not "these cost nothing to produce" but "these cost nothing to
produce IN NUMBERS". Once the premium tank is done, it does not
matter how many you sell. You don't have production costs. I
am just not sure why we should be impressed by a small price
reduction (wow, a premium tank now costs 40 euroes instead of 44)
And yeah, World of Tanks is TECHNICALLY a free to play game,
but there are so many disgusting business practices at work here
that it really makes me want to vomit. Not the least when I
read the posts from all you corporate mouthpieces spouting your
drivel "The game is fine" "Wargaming is being generous" "There is
no pay to win" "we value the opinions of our community". Be
grateful some bastion of decency had a good idea to make a decent
tank game, and that no one better has filled that niche yet.Sael_: Maybe we don't have production costs for the single tanks,
but we do have other costs like development and maintenance.You may
not like the explanations that we give you over every issue raised,
that doesn't make them wrong.
Mcjinkster, on 12 August 2020 - 05:13 PM, said: Soooo......sales are starting to slow down then? In general doing
something beneficial financially for the player does not benefit WG
in any way. There is an ulterior motive behind this that is the
real reason why prices are permanently "slashed". Don't get
me wrong, it's a very nice gesture and well timed to coincide with
the 10 year anniversary but the actual reason is not the
anniversary itself at the end of the day. Perhaps now it's
time to start looking at over-performing premium tanks that are
blatantly better then same tier free counterparts, as that is one
of the reason why spending is slowing down in the first place.
Thing is, if you bring out a better premium every 6 months, there
really is no point to buying premium tanks in the first place as
they'll be made rapidly obsolete. Cobra 6Sael_: But it's not true that every subsequent new Premium tank
release has been giving the audience a better model than the
previous one. One of the latest releases was the Panzer 58, Premium
medium - would you really say that it was better than any other
Premium medium that came out before, that it made past Premium
tanks obsolete? Personally, I'd tell you that it's way too broad of
a comparison. If we had to do this, I'd gather up tanks of the same
class that play in a similar way and then tell you which one I
think it's best. But I wouldn't say that this is how you should
look at all different tanks in the game. Every tank occupies their
space on the battlefield. They can be strong, sure, but they all
have a personality to them, a different type of gameplay, so
there's different reasons to get them. Plus, if you're like me and
you get affectioned to a specific type of tank/gameplay, seeing
similar vehicles being released makes me happy, I see it a lot as
"more of what I like".
Tankenstein, on 08 August 2020 - 07:10 PM, said: two questions, 1.what is this?what trade in value?Sael_: Are you any familliar with the trade-in feature? 
Karasu_Hidesuke, on 12 August 2020 - 05:24 PM, said: We've Slashed Prices on All Tier VI–VIII Premium Vehicles (*) (*)
and we bundle them with unwanted stuff so you pay more than beforeSael_: How do you know already that all tanks in that list is going
to be obligatorily sold in a bundle? It doesn't happen every day,
sure, but every once in a while, some vehicles are sold in the game
client for gold. Also, maybe you don't want the stuff in the
bundles that we've sold, but surely they're a nice addition for at
least part of the audience. 
PZoli, on 08 August 2020 - 09:56 AM, said: And for that 30 euro you can buy an entire game on steam,
not just a tank in a game where you probably already have dozens of
tanks.Sael_: Improper comparison. You have an entire game you can play for
free, dozens of tech tree tanks you don't need to spend real money
to get that provide you hours and hours of gameplay that constantly
expand with time, in a title that is constantly reworked to offer a
fresh gameplay experience to its community. Unless you go ahead and
get very similar tanks on purpose, every tank offers you a
different experience and hours of entertainment. This, you get
without having to spend a dime. Anything you want to buy in our
game is always your choice, and always on top of the rest.
wAr_God_11, on 08 August 2020 - 07:00 PM, said: They said, all VIII premium tanks, ... HWK 30 ??Sael_: What about it? Its gold value is dropping from 6500 to 5800,
as per news article.
Isharial, on 08 August 2020 - 02:09 PM, said: It’s nice and good but my only question would be that
Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque how can I buy it?Sael_: We don't have an offer for it at the moment, but if it comes
out, there will most likely be a news article about it.
Misago, on 07 August 2020 - 09:59 PM, said: They dare not in fear of being sacked *cough*
eliminated, they have to toe the party line comrade Sael_: There are things I can like about the game and things that I
can dislike, just as any other player, but surely if I spot
something being said on the forum (or whatever other platform, for
that matter) that is incorrect, I don't need to get a party line to
explain you how things really work. You can like the answer or not,
but that doesn't change the fact that all I'm doing is trying to
help you understand the real status of the game and how it
works.
Cobra6, on 08 August 2020 - 09:55 AM, said: So you announce a paper cut to the price of tanks then go and
remove the vouchers from tank awards. Well Done....Sael_: Tank reward vouchers are only one way to get discounts on
tank offers, and not the only one for sure.The discount applies for
all stated tanks forever and in every condition. I wouldn't
correlate the things.
wAr_God_11, on 08 August 2020 - 07:00 PM, said: When I contact WG, they either give me a edited useless answer or
ask me to write on a forum... So here I am, and I can tell I'm far
from the only customer they edited on. If I treated my customers so
bad, I would not ask them to write it for everyone to read. Alone
that says a lot about how little they care!
Wargaming, when are you going to man up and give a us some
good answers or fix your game? You are a pay-to-win game,
and it's only going one way. Your new equipment 2.0 sucks. All of
my equipment is spreaded like if dropped from the sky. Non of my
tanks are fully equipped, and I'm forced to go "handicapped"
to battle or spend 600.000 credit on each tank (pay-to-win). You
are lying and giving empty promises. Your customer service is
the worse experience I ever had with any customer service by
far. (Check Trustpilot. I'm not the only one) This is not a
game. It's a never ending grind based on Wargamings drive to
suck money out of us. I have been playing this game since
2011 and like it. But WG is destroying it. Every move they make, is
to make more money. Am I expecting Wargaming to come back
explanation and a solution on any of this? Hell no. You broke the
game and then all trust.Sael_: The reason why the CS team sends you to the forum upon
reading your ticket is this: they are there to deal with technical
problems, bugs and behavior reports (someone can't start their
game, someone was caught misbehaving, something unexpected from a
technical side has happened on the battlefield), not to explain to
you why the game is designed the way that it is, and to gather your
feedback. The Community Team does that! When I read your opinion,
it's on me to debate it with you, explain to you how and why
something works the way it does and not in another way, and most
importantly, make sure your opinion reaches the devs. So, by being
sent here you've actually had a favor done to you.- The game is not
pay to win. Here's why: a pay to win game is a title where, by
spending money, you secure your victory on the battlefield. There
is absolutely nothing you can buy in World of Tanks that will
guarantee you that, not even the strongest tank you can think of.-
Given the definition of pay to win I just shared, it's also
incorrect to say that mounting or not mounting certain equipment
pieces will automatically result in a win or a loss. I understand
the inconvenience, but it comes with a vast overhaul of the system
that surely will improve your experience once your vehicles are
fully outfitted again. Together with all the players that offered
good feedback on the system rework, we believe it to be a good
trade.- We do not lie to the players. A lot of reported lies from
the community are actually fruit of pure misunderstandings of our
announcements. At other times, we have to make choices for the game
to evolve and keep fresh, and those who don't share them or
understand them prefer to call us liar instead of disagreeing
constructively.- I am sorry if you feel that you had a bad
experience with our CS team, if you ever think that your tickets
are being handled incorrectly, you can always contact the Community
Management team via PM about them. However, as stated above,
support was actually acting in your best interest. Your post
is off-topic and you're arriving here from a recommendation in a CS
ticket, so I wonder if you read the announcement for the news
thread you're in - the permanent price drop for every Premium tank,
one of the most important sources of income for the game. You must
admit that forwarding to the devs the opinion that the only thing
we have in mind is making more money as feedback for such
announcement is quite something.
