How is WG stealing our personal reserves time

ApocalypseSquad, on 29 January 2019 - 02:51 PM, said: Yes, but the point I am making is that you don't go into a battle thinking "I am going to play worse".  It is the pressure of the clock and the subconscious desire to squeeze as much out of those reserves as possible that result in the mistakes being made.   And even if I could control my subconscious, who's to say that the 1 extra game I get in by rushing things isn't going to be worth more to me than the extra 5% or so exp I would have got for taking things slower?   I am just stating that for me at least, the way personal reserves work at the moment result in me playing worse and enjoying the game less.  It may be completely different for you.   Either way, I accept that they work as they do and I do not expect that to change.  I just wouldn't complain if it did....

Ok, but how about individual personal reserves for SH and clan activity? Ok, I dont ask for all 50% credit bonus from my personal reserves when I play shX or shVIII. Just make these reserves 50% in random battles and 25%@SH Why not? Clan reserves work this way! You get more when play SH and less % when play random.  Why not? Last year I have wasted tons of personal reserves, because after activation I get invite to join SH and I cant say NO to my buddys. Just put this idea on the desk or lets make a poll. Just my opinion.

Now eekeeboo sorry to say you do not know what the majority of players want just as none of us here do, and maybe you need to understand that for a portion of players PR as they are at present is not ideal they do not benefit the player and in many of those cases do not benefit wargamming as player happiness/enjoyment should be wargammings number one priority.   Now is it worth wargamming looking at how they implement PR ? I personally would say yes though I accept that does not mean they will change how they work. None of us here can speak for everyone else we can only speak for ourselves and voice our own opinions. Now some ideas will be too far fetched to even look at  but others really do deserve wargamming spending time on, and if they start listening more to the players then hopefully player enjoyment will increase and in normal business if enjoyment increases so does the profit margin.
