Clan Wars out of Beta

Are most players paying money to buy gold?
It felt like a game that wasn't in Beta the day they cleared out all of our garages and made us start over having to buy gold instead of getting a daily stipend for free.  With this also came the release of Ultimate Conquest and the 'Global Map'... which doesn't yet span the globe and, strangely, isn't spherical in shape. (oh yeah, we're still in beta!!!... lol)
What makes me smile... thinking about the fact that wargaming.net would probably make more money from players buying gold to participate in taking newly added lands in Africa (like those on the EU/RU server) than what it's pay out to clans holding those properties.  72g/day doesn't go far buying clan's gold rounds or consumables even if you're holding 10 of them.
Call it 'Beta', 'Alpha', 'pre release' or whatever... seems to be launched and out of Beta for a while now from my seat.  My credit card statement over last summer reinforces this view.
I bet this is the most lucrative 'Beta' in the history of online gaming, lol.
As far as all the merger talk with EU and RU, we also talk about people living on Mars or the moon 'someday'.
Comic book guy, "longest... beta... ever."
Take care,
