Clans and ClanWars

Second, MANY players don't care to grind high tiers because it's BORING as all hell to sit in a tank for that many battles. So they're going to grind up a few lower tier tanks, see that they're essentially locked out of clan wars, get bored, and be done with this game. They won't see the "end game".
Third, the more players the devs get involved in clan wars early the better. If they can get you hooked on the meta game, they'll inspire players to keep playing and grinding. If I hit the 3 month point and I have yet to taste Clan Wars because my brand new, stock Tiger is outclassed and unwanted, I'm probably done playing for good.
Tanitha: They are all very good points.
But take the 15v15 random games, IE the game as it is now before clanwars. There is no real need for premium, or high tier tanks. The only thing that happens when you level up more, is you earn less exp and credits, with about T5 usually being the most profitable tier. If you level up to a T8 tanks, its not much different, because you are then matched into harder games which are balanced still, with another T8 put against you and there's T9-10 above you. So no matter what tank you are in, the games are balanced and the only difference being the bigger your tank the less you make on it. No real incentive at all to pay premium and goto a T10. Just as much fun and just as useful to not pay a cent, and stay around T5's.
The desire of getting bigger tanks for clanwars, is one of the main things that will encourage people to pay money into the game I think.
A bigger tank in clanwars will make a difference, a bigger tank in the 15v15 games doesn't make much difference.
That's the way it is for me anyway, If wot had no clan wars, id not pay, play casually and play for free. When its released with clanwars, I'll pay premium for a month, sink in a reasonable amount into gold (maybe $40 worth), To get ahead and get into a T9 medium or T10 quickly within that month. And then id probably never transfer gold to credits again, and probably wont need to buy premium again.
And don't forget for casual players who want to get into clan-wars quickly without the grind, there is always the T8 heavy premium lowe.
