The response I received asked my to send in a copy of my banking details and my ISP details; exactly the kind of information one would need to empty my accounts. I just wanted to verify that this is the slandered method of verification and that someone’s not trying to pull a fast one on me.

All I know is that I have played since beta, with multiple ISP's in multiple locations, which no problem. I played at this location with the same ISP for 6 months before the 7.0 patch with zero problems (at all different times of the day).
Now, I log on and it is almost unplayable. 5PM EST, 11PM EST, weekends, it doesn't matter.

W0lfy, on Jan 13 2012 - 01:53, said: Thanks for reviewing the answers jinxx71.


If it is WoT's intention to run Twitter Quiz's during work/business hours (as you have until now) I think it worked fine.  That time is good for those people who have access to Twitter and the ability to participate during business hours.  However, there will also be many people who find it difficult to participate while at work/school/college, and who would suggest that running outside of work-hours is better (which would then likely clash with Tournaments and Clan Wars).  The other option is to run the Quiz's only on the weekend so that more people have a chance to participate during the afternoon time-slot (but then it often clashes with other events).

Interestingly the times for this Oceanic Quiz probably suited the NA players better, since it was not-during-work-hours for NA players, but it does not work in reverse since the the NA Quiz times are in the early-morning for Oceanic players.


Totally agree with this (and have posted the same before) please post all event times on the news-page with a UTC reference so there is no confusion.

emmie357, on Jan 13 2012 - 01:08, said: This is because it's the only high tier medium premium. Add more variety and you won't have this problem. If there were 3 tier 8 premium meds you wouldn't see so many 59's (unless the other two were really bad). Some people just prefer mediums and don't want a lowe or kv-5.
This isn't the place to go post suggestions of what to add, but ther are suggestions out there for other meds, and other meds listed on the full tech trees that can be added (with some work).
Ultimately I own a 59 already, so I don't mind it being pulled personally... but I feel bad for those who would like to buy a medium rather than a lowe or kv-5. And from what I hear the next 3 high level premiums are all going to be heavies too.

Joe_B, on Jan 13 2012 - 00:53, said: There are too many appearing in battles because it is the ONLY sure fire way to make obscene amounts of credits no matter the participation or outcome of the battle.
That is what the Lowe was remember? People were bragging about making 100,000 credit PROFITS!!!!
I have clan members constantly posting to our VPG chat window in game raking in 70,000 credits in a battle where doing the same thing in my Pershing I am lucky to break even (both of us being on standard accounts at that time).
You want to see less of any one particular tank then you need to allow a way for ANY tank in the game to be able to make obscene credit profits.
All of us have to have millions of credits to get to end tier tanks and for each line you go up you have to do it all again.
The high tier premiums broke the system because they allow a player to play in a high damage/credit/xp potential with high reward match and no downside.
CREDIT PROFIT is the SOLE REASON Type 59s are played in droves.

vampyrehntrd, on Jan 13 2012 - 00:14, said: Could be but just like the gift shop Items I am more prone to the fact that people hated wallet warrior tanks and the reasions still applies with the 59.
All the pre-order tanks were removed from the gift shop because the players complained about them being "exclusive" yet the EULA says WG has the right to add or remove data any time they please. I like many other have a hard time believing that the player base was not invoked with the 59. Basic forum search will tell use it is a more likely story.
The lowe was raised in price due to the CW viability of the tank. It was also released about the same time as CW on a server that was not dominated by T10 tanks. Stats may have showed you sold more of the lowe but now that they are cash cows you dropped the price in the gift shop. funny how that works.
Again as stated in other posts. I will no longer support the game in cash for listening to its player base. Star wars galaxies did and died off, STO did and now is F2P, and Now add world of tanks to that list of games I will play but not pay for anything other than the gold I get form CW.
