No X5 on NEW YEARS DAY.... Really?

TeriyakiTanker:  Come on, understaffed?  Are you seriously going to blame them being understaffed?  They aren't creating any new content they just have to do something that has been done dozens of times over the last 8 years.  It isn't complicated and it doesn't take any significant work to do.  The point isn't that the month hasn't been great because it has.  I have personally enjoyed the following:1.  Spent $200 on loot boxes and got almost $800 of "value" out of it2.  50% bonuses to exp, crew exp, silver, and free exp.3.  Gold for advent tanks, even bought six premium tanks I will probably never play3.  4 zero skill female crew members given out basically for free4.  Cool little premium tank given out for free5.  T-50-2 given to me just because I created an account
 Lots of good stuff WG has been doing.  The problem is that they do all this awesome stuff and then basically through incompetence screw up something that shouldn't be screwed up.  A lot of other games do specials on Christmas and New Years, it is almost industry standard at this point.  There is literally no excuse not to have something special on those days.  They had to realize there are people who would not only be disappointed but people who actually would be pissed, now being pissed in my opinion is a little bit over the top but you can't pretend that their decision was a smart one.
