Bring Crew 2.0 Back Better 2022 Plan

(SWG went from a completely sandbox MMO with a unique and extremely varied skill and job system to a cookie-cutter, WoW-pattern MMO and Jedi, a job that took a long time to acquire in the old system was made a base job). To get something of similar scope in WoT it would be like changing from an HP based system to something more akin to War Thunder. Or it would be like changing from the +/-25% RNG system to a point and click shell goes exactly where you aimed and deals exactly the amount of listed damage system and you have to compensate for shell drop yourself rather than the game doing it for you.   Changing the crew system, in any form is not even close to the same level. Its not fundamentally changing how the game is played.   Similarly comparisons to WoWs Paragon System / Naval Training Center are also silly, because the biggest problem of that system was that you had to actually sell and regrind entire lines to benefit from it, which isnt a thing required by Crew 2.0   The actual fact is Crew 2.0 was a net gain for crews of nearly every skill level, and no crews suddenly became less competitive outside of the elite advancement, which almost no one would have actually had enough progress in for the bonus to be at all meaningful. Elite Advancement goes away or is toned down further and there are really no problems.
