T-59. Adding insult to injury

Ectar:   It has an iconic status among players and we need something desirable for contest prizes. It fits the role perfectly for that.  You can't have the chance to purchase the tank now because the window in which it was available to buy has now passed. I can appreciate that new players may not like this situation but then this happens with content world-wide in any retail industry. Sometimes content is produced in limited amounts, other times it's only available for limited periods, and sometimes the method regarding how you obtain the item changes over time. At no point have we ever declared that content in our game would be available for players in an unlimited time frame.    We always want to be able to offer something cool and unique/hard to obtain as a contest prize. If the prize is something commonly available then players have zero incentive to want to participate.  Can't have it both ways sadly.
