Changes to Vehicles With Preferential Matchmaking + Notes on Trade-in

TeriyakiTanker: While I am actually looking forward to seeing what WG is going to do to buff the tanks and as someone who will most likely be keeping my buffed post-PMM tanks I can absolutely think of no worse of an idea than telling people that you are going to change their vehicle, without their permission by the way, and also charge them more to switch it to another tank if they do not like the newly buffed tank.   You people must have lost your minds.  This isn't rocket science you never break potentially bad news to customers along with even the remotest whiff of trying to get them to spend more money.  That is literally the stupidest thing you could possibly do.  How could you be so absolutely insensitive to this topic?!?!?!  You have to be mind-numbingly moronic to think this was going to go over well.
  This is very simple, you guys made this a problem by changing over to the 3/5/7 system.  This is not an inherent problem with PMM, it along with the proliferation of significantly stronger premium tanks is what has caused this problem.  You created this problem and now you actually think it is ok to ask people to turn in their power crept tanks and give you more money?  Just wow..... this will cost you paying customers when there was just no need for it.  The vast majority of players, while they wouldn't have wanted their tanks changed, would have been much happier if you simply gave them the gold value back.  Instead you come up with a much more convoluted idea to try and suck a couple more bucks out of players instead of looking to the long term health of the game.
  And the worst part is this is completely a self inflicted wound all caused by you switching over to the 3/5/7 match making.  I suppose you hadn't noticed the precipitous decline in your player base post 9.18 either?  But feel free to keep screwing up.......
