for frontline battles only or we can do random battles in them as
well ?DomoSapien: They aren't limited just to FL, they're just called "Frontline
Bundles" because they feature tier VIII vehicles that are good for
Frontline. But you can use them in Random Battles, tier 8
strongholds, etc.

extras useful. I'd guess mostly newer players who are still doing a
lot of grinding. But when someone doesn't want or need the extras,
the tanks cost is the cost of the bundle. You keep mentioning
desirableness of the tanks and how unreliable xmas loot boxes can
be, as if trying to drive up the hype and justify the current
offers. The are desirable, sure, that's why we'd even consider
breaking out the wallet for 'em. But they're not desirable enough
to pay double. (again, if we don't want/need the extras we're
paying for the tank) I was ready to drop $60 on the lt-432
and EBR, or even $80 for lt-432 and Progetto, but WG can't be
satisfied with that and they want $70 each. No, thank you. It's a
headscratcher for sure, but if WG doesn't want my money I'm happy
to comply.DomoSapien: I'm not overlooking the main point, I'm well aware of the argument
you're making and I'm more than happy to pass on your feedback in
this regard (already have, in fact) but I'm also a glass-half-full
kind of guy and I'm coming up with hypothetical scenarios in which
someone might be interested in picking up one of these bundles. I
have several friends who were burned by this very example last year
and ended up missing out on the Skorpion G because they spent that
money on Christmas boxes instead. In the very same thread I'm also
saying that the majority of players who are looking for value
probably won't be interested in these bundles over, say, the
Christmas boxes.
You can call me a shill for doing my job but at least I'm an honest shill? Instead of promising that we'll never sell bundles again or promising that they'll add a standalone bundle (which is something I very well can't do because I don't have the authority to do that) I'm looking for a silver lining in the whole thing.

business". You are indeed a business but your consumer satisfaction
track records suck because of the way WG treats
customers/consumers. This year WG was supposed to A- Buff a
few tier ten tanks like the IS-4 just to name one: Result never
happened B- In 2018 when we got the Well Deserved
Reward WG said "We hope to continue this tradition next year and
make it even better. Enjoy your rewards, you deserve them! " :
Result never happened C- Halloween event got lots of
hype: Result never happened D- You preview the EBR for the
Frontline episode 10 event: Result, The ebr was not put in the shop
for some reason All of these inconsistent broken promises have made
alot of your potential future customers very angry and it seems
that you ( you as in WG) have lost sight of what the true goal of a
business is. TO SATISFY YOUR CONSUMER BASE not to overcharge for
tanks, not to constantly make promises that you later break, not to
use the excuse that you are business so you deserve money but to
SATISFY THE CONSUMER. You say " By that
logic everything we do is motivated by greed because
businesses ultimately aim to be profitable" but you fail to
understand that a lot of businesses dont make their pursuit of
money as transparent as WG does and this is because alot of
business put the customer first. Have you ever heard the phrase
that " the customer is always right" your customer service
certainly hasn't and I could tell that after I submitted one ticket
with a very simple request that they should've easily been able to
comply to. Next time you advertise the EBR it should appear on the
premium shop, as simple as that no excuses. DomoSapien: re: A) and also grego34's comment about the E-100: I hear ya. I
think some of the vehicles that were initially up for rebalance
ended up being tough to crack because their playstyle is highly
reliant on Special ammo or HE shells, like the HE-100 as some like
to call it. Balancing efforts are ongoing, but some of the
vehicle-specific balance efforts have been delayed because any
balancing efforts might have to be pretty much redone in their
entirety after ammo changes. Roadmaps change, and while I do wish
for more information to share with y'all a bit more regularly about
the status of that, Sandbox testing has been in full-swing this
quarter and we've gathered a bunch of insights from the results of
those tests.
B) Who says it's not going to happen? Just because it didn't go out precisely 1 year later, to the day, doesn't mean that there won't be a well-deserved reward this year. We will just have to wait and see, unfortunately. C) Sure didn't, and we definitely ate crow on that one. The fact of the matter is that it was the most ambitious halloween event we've done to-date, combining a lot of concepts from prior events and our developers put in several weeks of overtime trying to make sure it was stable enough to release without causing greater technical issues for some players. Work is already being done to ensure that all that effort doesn't go to waste, and we hope to re-purpose as much of we can of that event for another event in the not-so-distant future. D) Respectfully, I'd disagree with your assessment that we don't care about our consumer. As someone who has been playing this game since 2012, I can pretty confidently say that grinding up the tech tree and engaging with the game is far easier in 2019 than it has been in the past. If you are engaged with the community, watch Community Contributor streams and videos, watch the WOTNA Community Stream, Participate in our Discord community, forum and Discord contests, Tankrewards, there are tons of ways for you to accelerate your grind and earn free stuff. I remember I was working in Customer Support at the time, we ran the Tanks Through Time event back in... 2016, I think? I was absolutely blown away that I could earn an E25 simply by playing the game. I'm not making the excuse that we are a business and deserve money. On the contrary, the question of whether or not we deserve that money is entirely up to you, the consumer. I just think it's silly to ponder whether or not greed is the motivating factor behind a sale. It's a sale, of course money is the goal in mind. As for the EBR being pulled, the preview states that all items are subject to change, and this is a pretty good example of why that line is there.
I wish I could come up with some kind of noble reason as to why there aren't any standalone FL bundles this month, but as a player and long-time member of the community I'd rather be as up-front with you guys as possible. On that note, kind of a lot to unpack in a sale thread, don't ya think?

Cricketer, on Nov 18 2019 - 06:56, said: I for one am glad the P2W 75 FL isn't up for sale, even if the
Progetto is only a little less P2W.And in case someone argues either that either aren't P2W, tell me, is the Lynx as good as the EBR, is the Pantera as good as the Progetto?
DomoSapien: Call me stupid but I genuinely prefer the Lynx over the 75. Could
be confirmation bias on my part but I feel like I land shots more
consistently in the Lynx than the 75 and the HE Shells tend to give
me higher rolls.
Downside is I've only got the 1 shell instead of 2 and it doesn't reverse as fast as the 75 but that's in-line with the behavior of the Tier X so to me it feels more representative of what the end of the line feels like.
