It also the principal of it too.  You use silver to rate limit advancement in the game  then you realize that people are getting ahead using some complicated chart hooked into the database of profit per round based on average misses to the damage of the shell combined with the tier that its at.  You see that the 83 mm He MK3 is making British tank owners money so you deiced to not double no QUADRUPLE the price.  Then you realize that people can do simple math and figure out that if shells sell for half the price they are bought at that quadrupling would make people who own the shell money.  So you split the difference and ruined me.
Anyways I strong suspect the price will be going up again in 8.5.  I hold them until then.  I hope you do the right thing so I can continue to play.  Also while i don't own Premium because i cant play WOT everyday and I feel using a limited time thing that I cant use every day is a waste, however I have bought gold before.  I used it to buy cameo, buy tank slots,  and to demount complicated equipment.  I tell you this because I don't want you to think that only the dirty free players got screwed over.  I'm a customer and I would have likely bought more gold in the future.  Anyways  I quit until the price of the 83 mm He MK3 sells for $130 like you said it would.
