Major_Rampage: First off,  there are no plan to have the MTLS-1G14, M4A2E4 Sherman, or M6A2E1 to giftshop.  I am sorry that you are not happy that those tanks are not available.  We have an official top about the status of those tanks which was linked earlier in this thread,  and almost every previous gift shop thread.
As for you comments about not listening to feedback:
May we changed the format of the Gift Shop,  removed the premium consumables from tank bundles and replaced them with credits,  added more gold and credit bundles.  May had some of the most popular packages we have introduced.  We also ran our first "Mega Bundle",  of multiple Tanks in a bundle.  Also of this was based off the feedback from previous gift shops.
June we had more gold and credit bundles,  and some new themed packages,  we tried some new things,  and listened to your feedback,  and made changes for July.  We also ran gold and credit bundles that were in the amount of the discounted on Track Tanks.  We also started changing the gift shop more frequently,  giving people more options,  running a Gift Shop Monday - Thursday,  and another line up Friday - Sunday.
July you will be seeing,  a better balance of tanks and other packages in the gift shop,  as well as new multiple tank bundle.  We have also been working on aligning the gift shop to be in sync with the in game events.  You will be seeing tanks and bundles that will help people with their progress down the on Track Events,  or that they may discover they like based on a weekend event.  We are also running "Change of Pace" Bundles which will be the opposite,  they will be tanks that are the complete opposite of tanks involved in in-game events.  Such as if there is a special on agile medium tanks you might also see a TD or a heavily armored slow moving heavy tank in the gift shop.
Right now I am working on August's Event plan and taking all of the feedback once again into consideration to see what would work best.

GeneralDirection: 8.7 Public Test will be global, it won't roll out to regions over time.
Regarding comments about 8.6 only being a week old, while true for North America, some parts of 8.7 have been in development for quite a while. Heck, we're already working on parts of 9.1. ;)

Major_Rampage: Keep an eye out for the August Gift Shops,  I like this idea as well.

Major_Rampage: I did list the Gold per Dollar if you already had the tank,  but at that point you are missing the point of the bundle.  The tank bundles are there for those  folks who want the tank.  The gold and credit bundles are there for the people who are looking for in game currency.

Quemapueblos: Hey folks,
We wanted to give everyone an update on the Stage 2 adjustments for the Canadian region provinces that appear on the United States Clan Wars map.
In order to give clans an idea of where they stand in the rankings, the following list shows which clans are missing Victory Points for Stage 2.

These will be credited on Friday July 5th before prime time.

During this stage provinces were adjusted by 4 per turn up or down depending whether they were located in the Canadian Region or the United States. The provinces that were supposed to be gaining profit per turn were instead losing profit per turn. In order for the provinces to reflect the desired income, we adjusted the income to make up for the loss and additionally adjusted for intended gain.
        
The green line shows what provinces should be earning
The red line shows what the actual adjustment was.
The yellow area is the missing value

The following list shows how much each day a province was adjusted. After day 5, the adjustments for the properties reverse and move back to their original values.

Each day is 24 turns with a change of 8 per turn (from the missing addition 4 gold per turn and the subtracted 4 gold).
We apologize for this issue, and are focused on ensuring Victory Point values are properly reflected for the end-of-stage rewards.

CatStalker: Please report any 360 beta issues in the WoT Xbox360 forums at http://forum.wt360e.com/

Major_Rampage: All of the US Premium Tanks that are currently available in game.

All of the US Premium Tanks that are currently available in game.

Major_Rampage: Indeed on the credit bundles,  we have heard the suggestions and were able to bring back the deals people liked for this event.
No thought on the tanks involved?  It's the United States Independence Day,  and we have all of the US Premium Tanks in the discount in game,  as well as in the gift shop.  I would say that is a pretty cool thing for anyone who is looking to pick up a US Premium Tank for themselves or for a friend.
For Example:  
T2 LT Bundle:
T2 LT:  750 Gold (Normal Price)
Garage  Slot:  300 Gold
400 Gold:  400 gold
21000 Credts:  52.5 Gold
Total:  1802.5 / $5.29  
Being 340 Gold per Dollar (if you are looking at the non discounted price of the tank).  If you already own the tank and are getting the current value it would be 213 gold per dollar.
T34 Bundle:
T34:  12000 Gold (Normal Price)
Garage Slot:  300
246,000 Credits:  615 gold
Total:  12,915 Gold / $44.69
Being 288 Gold per Dollar (if you are looking at the non discounted price of the tank).  If you already own the tank it wold be a 245 gold per dollar value.
But these packages are designed for people who do not own these tanks,  if you are looking for gold or credits the packages you would want to look at would be:
The Big Bucks Bundle:
5000 gold :  5000
5000000 Credits:  12,500
Total Value:  17,500 Gold / $52.99
For a value of 330 Gold per Dollar.
Jackpot Bundle:
10,000 Gold:  10,000
10,000,000 Credits:  25,000
Total Value:  35,000 Gold /  $98.99
For a value of 353 Gold per Dollar
All of these packages are designed to give you a  better value then buying gold at even the $99.99 value,  which would be 250 Gold per Dollar.
I hope that upon a second look you would see the value that we have put in the gift shop packages for this weekend.

CatStalker: Well that depends on what you're reporting. If you report team damage/kills, yes, you'll get a standard reply because the automated system takes care of it exclusively. However if you send in a replay because someone was blocking and preventing you from moving, or pushing you off a cliff for example then yes, support does take action in those situations.

Hypnotik: Well, the riot mechanism hasn't changed and seems to be working fine. With the right combination of good chip management and a little bit of luck, clans can defend more provinces than they seem to have resources to do so. They also have a little bit of time to move chips in place to suppress a riot.

Major_Rampage: For the Status of Rare and Unreleased Tanks in the Gift shop please see this thread:  http://forum.worldof...-the-gift-shop/

CatStalker: Not retaliating in-game and sending in a replay is correct. You will need a replay however, screenshots are not sufficient in these instances.
