Löwe price adjustment. Limited time offer!

The rumoured price of 10,000 would have been about right, and the KV5 should never have been the same tier (although it is matched lower)
Only 2 things matter in this game, health points and gun.

Premium tanks have to be worse....really.....Then why does my Lowe never fail against an IS-3, KT or T32? Why does my Lowe easily beat any of them? Even an IS-4 at close or long range(not medium range), even VK4 at close or medium range(not long range) or T34 at any range routinely fail against my Lowe? Lowe is very OP if used right, less forgiving for mistakes than T32 but very OP if used right.

Current stat of WoT compared to a single player game with no additional upfront cost (say CoD, BF etc);
* Fewer maps
* Fewer game modes. When did you even hear off an FPS launching with ONLY deathmatch? You'd have to go back to pre-2000 games for that.
* Worse graphics
* Cannot play highest level of gameplay without paying about 20% of the cost of a single player game per month (ie premium).
* Current rate of patches with new content is about what a decently supported one-cost game tend to put out during the first time after launch
Comparing it to other MMO's is offcourse an even worse comparison offcourse.
So for the price of a lowe you could get the ENTIRE VALUE of WoT in a different game. Anyone paying BOTH for premium AND addiotinal stuff like premium tanks are paying for several equally content filled games. Offcourse, this is good business short term, but not a sustainable business practice. And this is also the reason I play less and less (and all my friends that played heavily for a month or two are having the same feeling), there's just no reason to invest time or money in a game that's going nowhere.
Thus the REAL problem is isn't that the lowe is too cheap. It's that EVERY premium tank is FAR FAR FAR too expensive.
The REAL fix is:
*Reduce prices on ALL premium tanks. And since I know there's NO way the devs will just hand peoples money back, even in gold form, give them bonus premiums or whatever. Having cheaper premiums is likely to earn you just as much if not more cash.
*Reduce the credit earning potential on premiums to where people are more likely to use their normal tanks.
*GET THE GAME TO AN EVEN MODERATELY FINISHED STATE! Game modes and content BEFORE more tanks.
