Just installed World of Tanks? Watch this video before continuing to play | Warning to F2P players!

[@oshinwane6902]

Im an OG and like most i left this game, WHY? My view that you might not hear about anywhere else: 1) Paying real money will give you a huge advantage (better tanks, better ammo, more credits, more wins, more fun ,...) 2) Not Skill based. you get shton by paying players and at the end you lose credits while the other bad player earns credits when it should be the opposite. 3) If you have bad ping you cannot play properly because this game is ping based and the more ping you have the more delay you have when moving around . However this does guaranty actual physics (unlike war thunder jittery physics). 4) Did you waste 1 month grinding for a top tier tank thats powerful? well get ready for it to get nerfed back to crap! (constant buff and nerf of tanks makes dedication to a tank impossible) 5) Did you eventually buy a premium tank? dont worry because there will be a new tank in a couple of months that completely Overpowers your premium tank!! (the average Pen, Armor, Damage,... of tanks also increase every year causing the same problem for free tanks!) good luck

I think the constant buffing and nerfing of a tank is an indication that Wargaming struggle to balance their game, I think one of the French heavies got buffed, nerfed, then buffed again, tells you everything, before I quit I was going to go for the S.Conq at tier X and then they recently nerfed it just as I was grinding, never went beyond tier 8 for all tech trees in the end didn't think it was worth it

Wot is one of those games that I install about twice a year, play for a week or two and uninstall again

[@entwnn6799]

most players on WOT are regular players

[@wernherlehanie7313]

Agree, better platforms to choose from than WG product. Problem is also support do not care what you think or say. They think they are above the player base. Content creators kisstheir behinds also and does not take them on. Everyine should stop logging in for a couple of days. Only way to make them listen.

[@AntzWar]

That is a good shout, if the WoT community came together and all logged off dropping the numbers on the servers then Wargaming would have to listen

[@AntzWar]

The footage shown in the video is not of my own game play. The battles are taken from various WoT replay channels and they are good battles, something you won't experience often if you are an average player. The first battle is showing the 40TP, a typical tech tree tank where the grind is a struggle. The other battles shown feature two premium tanks, the Bourrasque and the BZ-176. Both are considered OP and the BZ-176 has received complaints from the WoT community. In my opinion, I think the Bourrasque is worse to face against.

Played WoT from 2013. Bought ALL premium tanks possible, always premium account, paid for everything, even for crazy prices in-game auctions, played ~ 70k battles. Never cheated, never get banned, until 1 day found my account blocked for reason participating in the rigged games. For person, who spent about 40k dollars over 10 years and have 57,7% winrate, just an idea of cheating or getting involved in the rigged games is crazy. Even more crazy was to find out, that WG give no explanation, nothing about what happened. And they broke their own policy about 1 week ban for first violation of rules. Basically, they ripped me off and took all money spent. Now, year later, I actually want to thank them, because I would probable spend another 10k on the game. The game is so money demanding, and when you have basically everything, anything new, any new tank or skin, you just buying and buying. So, 1 year ago my wife stopped smoking and I stopped giving WG money. And if you are new player, please, be aware, CHEATERS and WG. Cheaters ruing a game and WG can ban your account anytime without any explanation or proof.

[@AntzWar]

The problem is they focus on a strategy of bringing out a new premium tank but a few months or years down the line a new tank is released that outperforms the one you bought, its a rinse and repeat process and a marketing strategy, I forgot to mention in this video about the ridiculous amount of preferential RNG including the suspicious RNG for premium tanks! Someone commented on another channel and gave WoT a new name World of Premium Tanks 😄

[@AntzWar]

I'm not sure why WG would ban you even if you did something bad, the game seems to be now marketed to players that stick around and buy all the content rather than new players, the company would be losing your custom

[@Noodlecrime]

WoT is definitely not a friendly game for F2P even if you have somewhat a credit grinder tank. you will have one of the nastiest grindfest of your life. you will struggle to upgrade your tank and it keep getting worse each tier you move up to to put it simply. and you'll sometime find players like me with 500 million credits ready to burn just to have good stat and have somewhat enjoyable "farm". and wg keeps adding premium stuff to make me have more advantages such as bounty equipment and prem consumables. this makes the game incredibly p2w. let alone discussing about op tank behind lootbox. i think this is it the end of the game. people are hating the game at current state and righfully so.

[@AntzWar]

I only got to tier 8, the cost and research XP required for tiers 9 and 10 in the tech trees was disgusting, and some of the tech tree tanks aren't even as good as the premiums so what is the point? This is why the balance is not good for f2p players and why new players will just come and go, I too think that there are a lot of WoT players hating the game right now yet still play out of some kind of delusional loyalty

[@kimjepsen7459]

I have played for 8 years: Now I can not penetrate with old tanks like Løwe, Gepard, Scorpio any more. This tanks can not penetrate a peace of paper anymore. WG is stealing from me and other players :(

[@GamVino_WoT.1]

I have been a free to play WoT player since 2013 , I play an average of 20-25 battles per day , sure there are bits of problems here and there in the game , but then again , what other game doesn't ? All the premium tanks that I own in my garage are either I acquired through game events (i.e. marathons, black market, etc. etc.) or gifted to me by my friends. There are days I make considerable wins and there are also days where I get my fair share of defeats too. I just let myself enjoy the game. That's it.

[@AntzWar]

You are right all MMOs have their issues, but Wargaming may be tipping the balance too far, I respect your opinion and if you enjoy the game then continue to play it

[@cile_youtube]

After 90K battles since 2012, I must say that WoT is PURE RIGGED GARBAGE, more and more, Patch after Patch! Everything started with Patch 9.18, Artys STUN, 3-5-7 Matchmaking, Defender, and Skorpion G. That was the start of disaster! The game is now NOT WORTH MY TIME and my nerves... Too many CHEATERS, BAD maps, BAD RNG, NO balance! DON`T start this game!

[@appsstore11]

Never played wot but I do play WoT blitz on mobile it's much better and not quite as money hungry,much better game,play it every day and this year is my 5th year.

[@AntzWar]

It seems WoT is Wargaming's cash cow, so perhaps other games in their portfolio they don't market or monetize as much

[@blaze1148]

Part of the problem with the game is people with a defeatist mindset like yourself - quitting when you have a team of numpties is just sad.....simple solution - do not care about win rate at all....care about WN8 ie how much damage you can do in the game.....you cannot choose the muppets you play with but you can determine how much damage you do in the game....invariably the more dmg you do on average your WR _will_ increase guaranteed. Played the game for 13 years now and never _rage quitted_ .....that option is for losers. ....btw there is far more fun at lower Tiers....plus this will also boost your WN8 more rapidly.

[@AntzWar]

I never concentrated on WN8 or WR just my combined damage, stats don't interest me, yes players can just enjoy lower tiers but they miss out on experiencing some of the cool tanks in higher tiers, the 15-1 simulator that is happening suggests that it is not all down to muppets but a combination of things that are suspicious - matchmaking being a big problem and preferential RNG, and new OP tanks released into the game, the gaming experience is not fun for many

[@blaze1148]

@@AntzWar .....the higher Tiers I haven't found fun for years....I classify myself as a _casual_ player with a WN8 of 2000+ but only now play Tier 4-6 where it is the most fun I feel.....fk new Tanks.....they will get nerfed as soon as WG brings out another _new Tank_ of a similar spec.

[@AntzWar]

@@blaze1148 as long as you enjoy the game then keep playing it, my video is just a warning and what I recommend mainly for new free to play players but people can ignore my opinion
