Tier 8 Premium Tanks are Ruining Gameplay

ARGO: Tier 8s is it now....Last week was T-59s, Last month it was French tanks, Last year it was Arty / Lowes, and the year before in beta....it was Leopards.
Call it flavor of the month or whats the fashonable tank of the masses, Heck I collect premiums myself but I would be far less worried about the premium tanks and more worried about what tank they are all trying to grind to.....Without practice, learning tiers and earning and skills it can only mean another ineffective tank on the field and that to me is far more scary.
BTW, I see them as good tanks, not great tanks or God tanks.
