every offer to be accessible to everyone is asking too much? that
is laughable, that is the whole point i would have thought,

Ectar: Sadly no. It's impossible to make all our offers accessible
for all our players. Some are aimed at players who spend money,
some are aimed and medium tank drivers, some aimed at German and
British tank drivers etc etc. We always try to spread our
reach regarding how many players can take advantage of something
(which is why things like x3 first wins feature on weekend
specials). But when it comes to premium shop offers, you can't
really complain that people who don't want to spend money can't
take advantage of the offers.

Ectar: Again, it's a premium shop offer. Why would we have offers
in our premium shop that don't require players to spend money?
That's the entire point of the premium shop. Occasionally
premium tanks are available via in-game missions (TOG-2 as a recent
example) but we don't advertise that in a premium store promotion.
Lower price packages are included through the month but the
lower the price, the less flexibility there is to offer discounts
or additional features.

Ectar: I'm not quite sure I follow your train of thought here. The
alternative is that you expect a free gift each day of the calendar
and that's not really a realistic expectation either when you
consider it's a premium shop promotion (Unless you're
seriously expecting free gold and a free tank each day). As
I've stated before we still have regular in-game bonuses and
discounts taking place this month along with missions, nothing has
changed in that respect. The advent calendar is something
that is specific to premium shop offers and players who are looking
to spend some money on the game. It's simply a different way of
offering packages we don't normally have available and for a
limited time. To think of it another way it's like a "flash
sale". Some tanks will always have specific
requirements to get them or will always be limited in availability.
Whilst I'm not going to go into details about all the tanks
which may feature I will confirm that the the pre-order tanks won't
be available and neither will the Clan Wars reward tanks.
Regarding the BTSV questions, the package that the
BTSV was included in, was a limited package. That was available
only on the RU region and was intended for RU players.
The first batch of codes in the run weren't region locked
which ment they could be redeemed on any server. Later codes
were region locked to the RU server only (as originally intended).
As quoted at the time these packages were limited to a set
number and there is no plans to produce this
package again. Please note the term "package" and not "tank".
The tank itself however is not limited and we never intended
to "only have 6000" on the RU servers. For EU and NA we have
advised players multiple times that there was no short term plans
to make the tank available but at no time did we ever state "This
tanks was limited to 6000 and will never be available again" or "We
won't sell this tank to players". It was always a
possibility the BTSV would come to these regions and this month is
the first time we've been able to do that. With regards to
the pricing of the package, it's very similar to what the original
package was when the BTSV was only available on the RU server
roughly 2 years ago (excluding exchange rate fluctuations during
the past 2 years).
