The whole matchmaker thing...

Lert:   Shouldn't be a need for third-party resources (and that's coming from someone who wrote a portion of them). If there was proper WG tutorials, there wouldn't be a need for us to make them and put them in places newbs can only find them if they specifically go looking for them.  

Lert:   I took flatlining to mean dead. The playerbase might not be growing that much or at all, but it's also not declining, and WG is still making a veritable [edited]ton of money off of WoT - it's far from dead. Also, WG seems to be concentrating more on quality-of-life improvements rather than just throwing tech trees at us, making the game a lot more comfortable to play. Still no worthwhile tutorial, though.
