We've Slashed Prices on All Tier VI–VIII Premium Vehicles!

Sael_: The choice to delay this event was a consequence of external
causes that we could not control, hence the lack of specification
of a new date. Once we are sure we can share more reliable
information, you will know the exact dates.



Sael_: I'm afraid you misunderstood the news article.Here's a bit of
important info: every tank has a fixed gold price in our database.
That gold value in turn determines the price in real money of the
vehicle. Consequently, lowering the gold value of a tank in our
database means that it will also cost less to buy in real
money.This is what we have announced, a permanent price drop for
all tanks - we are not going to sell all those tanks for gold. At
least, definitely not all together on the specified date.The date
is for when the price drop will be in effect, and it was delayed by
external causes.We cannot tell you when are we selling which tanks
for gold or in the Premium shop in the future, what you know right
now is that their price will be permanently lower, whether you will
be buying them in the Premium shop for real money, or in the game
client for gold.


Sael_: It's a big permanent change that is part of 10th Anniversary,
as a celebration - we're announcing this now as a disclaimer for
all future offers. I'm frankly more surprised that you wouldn't
want to know that.


Sael_: Maybe we don't have production costs for the single tanks,
but we do have other costs like development and maintenance.You may
not like the explanations that we give you over every issue raised,
that doesn't make them wrong.

Sael_: But it's not true that every subsequent new Premium tank
release has been giving the audience a better model than the
previous one. One of the latest releases was the Panzer 58, Premium
medium - would you really say that it was better than any other
Premium medium that came out before, that it made past Premium
tanks obsolete? Personally, I'd tell you that it's way too broad of
a comparison. If we had to do this, I'd gather up tanks of the same
class that play in a similar way and then tell you which one I
think it's best. But I wouldn't say that this is how you should
look at all different tanks in the game. Every tank occupies their
space on the battlefield. They can be strong, sure, but they all
have a personality to them, a different type of gameplay, so
there's different reasons to get them. Plus, if you're like me and
you get affectioned to a specific type of tank/gameplay, seeing
similar vehicles being released makes me happy, I see it a lot as
"more of what I like".

Sael_: Are you any familliar with the trade-in feature?


Sael_: How do you know already that all tanks in that list is going
to be obligatorily sold in a bundle? It doesn't happen every day,
sure, but every once in a while, some vehicles are sold in the game
client for gold. Also, maybe you don't want the stuff in the
bundles that we've sold, but surely they're a nice addition for at
least part of the audience.


Sael_: Improper comparison. You have an entire game you can play for
free, dozens of tech tree tanks you don't need to spend real money
to get that provide you hours and hours of gameplay that constantly
expand with time, in a title that is constantly reworked to offer a
fresh gameplay experience to its community. Unless you go ahead and
get very similar tanks on purpose, every tank offers you a
different experience and hours of entertainment. This, you get
without having to spend a dime. Anything you want to buy in our
game is always your choice, and always on top of the rest.

Sael_: What about it? Its gold value is dropping from 6500 to 5800,
as per news article.


Sael_: We don't have an offer for it at the moment, but if it comes
out, there will most likely be a news article about it.



Sael_: There are things I can like about the game and things that I
can dislike, just as any other player, but surely if I spot
something being said on the forum (or whatever other platform, for
that matter) that is incorrect, I don't need to get a party line to
explain you how things really work. You can like the answer or not,
but that doesn't change the fact that all I'm doing is trying to
help you understand the real status of the game and how it
works.

Sael_: Tank reward vouchers are only one way to get discounts on
tank offers, and not the only one for sure.The discount applies for
all stated tanks forever and in every condition. I wouldn't
correlate the things.

Sael_: The reason why the CS team sends you to the forum upon
reading your ticket is this: they are there to deal with technical
problems, bugs and behavior reports (someone can't start their
game, someone was caught misbehaving, something unexpected from a
technical side has happened on the battlefield), not to explain to
you why the game is designed the way that it is, and to gather your
feedback. The Community Team does that! When I read your opinion,
it's on me to debate it with you, explain to you how and why
something works the way it does and not in another way, and most
importantly, make sure your opinion reaches the devs. So, by being
sent here you've actually had a favor done to you.- The game is not
pay to win. Here's why: a pay to win game is a title where, by
spending money, you secure your victory on the battlefield. There
is absolutely nothing you can buy in World of Tanks that will
guarantee you that, not even the strongest tank you can think of.-
Given the definition of pay to win I just shared, it's also
incorrect to say that mounting or not mounting certain equipment
pieces will automatically result in a win or a loss. I understand
the inconvenience, but it comes with a vast overhaul of the system
that surely will improve your experience once your vehicles are
fully outfitted again. Together with all the players that offered
good feedback on the system rework, we believe it to be a good
trade.- We do not lie to the players. A lot of reported lies from
the community are actually fruit of pure misunderstandings of our
announcements. At other times, we have to make choices for the game
to evolve and keep fresh, and those who don't share them or
understand them prefer to call us liar instead of disagreeing
constructively.- I am sorry if you feel that you had a bad
experience with our CS team, if you ever think that your tickets
are being handled incorrectly, you can always contact the Community
Management team via PM about them. However, as stated above,
support was actually acting in your best interest. Your post
is off-topic and you're arriving here from a recommendation in a CS
ticket, so I wonder if you read the announcement for the news
thread you're in - the permanent price drop for every Premium tank,
one of the most important sources of income for the game. You must
admit that forwarding to the devs the opinion that the only thing
we have in mind is making more money as feedback for such
announcement is quite something.
