December a month of let downs?

Without such missions (a mission in itself means that it's something you must do in reward for something), most people will play until they're tired. with these 'bonuses', they are often forced/coerced/tempted to play more in order to get it and suffer frustration because the last win/kill match is harder than expected, while quitting at that point would forfeit their chance on that 'bonus' so they keep going.

Most missions have a rule like 'get X amount of xp/kills, get Y for free', further they up the stakes by limiting it to certain nations, tier levels or tank classes. So, the mission rewards are not a mere 'bonus'.

When I do my job, I expect to get paid. And there are even certain criteria which entitle me to a bonus, which I only get if I meet the criteria, which I only get if I work hard for them. If I know before hand that a certain bonus is not worth the effort, I will not pursue it.
When I play a game, I don't expect to get paid ofcourse, but if the company wants me to play more (and potentially spend more real money in order to make things easier) and offers me a bonus if I meet certain criteria, then that bonus must be worthwhile.
