Crew 2.0 - The "New Coke" ?

Jaguarz: Problem for whoever is pushing this stupid update is the
Console version makes a pittance in comparison to the PC version.
Anything that will effect the bottom dollar of this game will have
to be run past the bean counters and they are naturally risk
adverse when it comes to losing revenue no matter how emotionally
invested the person pushing this mess is. The people at the
top of wargaming dont care about this game past the money it makes,
those promoted above their station "running it" may have all these
big ideas and imaginings of how their "amazing vision" will
generate more money and thus get them huge bonuses and share
options but that simply means they are emotionally invested and
self delusional. Rubicon was the first example, it would have cost
the game players and money overall so it didnt happen, idea was
shelved and the game carried on printing money. Then crew 2.0
showed up which was essentially Rubicon warmed over, same basic
idea, universally reviled, didnt get past the accountants, if it
did they would have pushed it regardless of player opinion. Now cew
2.0.1 is here and whoever is running this stupid project is trying
to push it through again with virtually no changes and apparently
no concept about how to balance things because it literally breaks
the game in ways that cant be repaired in the system they are
introducing. Literally making World of Tanks 2.0 would be an easier
task than trying to shoehorn this mess into the core game and make
it balanced and accepted by the playerbase. Now you may say
the HE changes were lambasted but they still happened but simply
put it was a nominal change, it screwed over very few tanks and
they tacked on an artillery change which was popular with most of
the players as most people hate arty. Theres nothing they could
attach to this mess to shadow it, theres no way they can get the
balance values right without making the whole system pointless.
This is a game in retention mode, its expansion phase is long gone,
it needs to retain the players it has and to keep the money flow
coming, the only thing this will do is reduce players, its not
popular. Im pretty confident that this will not make it past
the accountants and its they who are the ones who dictate what goes
on the live servers, not the "developers". That being said Im
getting pretty bored of the developers trying to push garbage like
this onto the game as opposed to content like maps which in spite
of what they claim really isnt difficult to make.
