I've said it for years now- WG wishes they were a gacha. To roll in all that cash while putting in a fraction of the work and overhead they have to put in for their current games.

Yep, those .5 dan 1 percents feel so better in comparison

Funny thing is Azur Lane / FGO have better monetization schemes ....lol The problem is if you want players spend money at least make players enjoyable environment But WeeGee ? Nah Player base hate CV = CV rework , make Good AA and DFAA useless , then make more "aircraft carrying" ships like Ise , Tone, even make Holland cruiser with "Air strike" gimmick ..... complain about "HE Spam + Smoke + Radar" OP (the "classic Belfast) = Make more HE Spammer cruiser , give you Soviet T9 cruiser with 16km+ gun range... Some players hate DD/Torp spam ship = make Asashio and Asia line DD with Deep water Torp target only BB and CV , and now it want to bring back Kitakami "soon" at T10 , and turn off friendly fire (lol) Plus changing in-game economic to make player "PAY" for flags. "Pay" or you can hard grind (remember Paytard Rico?) They used to give players played in public test server (after complete some mission requirement) earn some free flag / box ? Nope it is long gone

BTW even Azur Lane (Gacha games) does "give player back something baseline after many tries" like the previous Eagle union limited build event , there was a Ultra rare ship (New Jersey) and players want to get it , even if you didn't get it , after certain amount of build (200 if I am not mistaken) , you are guarantee to get the ship once. I don't see any "guarantee" rate for WeeGee scambox.

@@imamage wg introduced one in wows blitz a week or so ago, still a shit ton of gold to reach it

Yes. This is spot on.

Sunk cost fallacy is the biggest issue usually for me on dumb things like this! It's weird, because these are for TECH TREE ships, but I swear my brain doesn't seem to recognize that lols! Happened in WoWs Legends trying for North Carolina XD

Ahahahah I couldn’t’ stop you bastard made me cry from laughting

thats called preying on peoples gambling addiction and its what wg does best. same shitty scam they've been running for like the last 2 years.

that's also the reason i simply quit playing the game... i enjoy more fun playing War on the Sea & Uboat and more promising naval games upcoming soon.

i may not be the brightest star on the night sky, but why do ppl pay for a ship they can get for free later???

@@Milan74 aye you hitting them good games

@@pallegantzhorn3742 Maybe they're very rich and just want something to waste money. Just look at prince of Saudi Arabia who spent thousands of dollars at DOTA

@@pallegantzhorn3742 some ships are only available for a short time and disappear forever, we don't get them for free laterz

It's not really that hard to figure out, this has been plaguing mobile games since forever now. You buy them so you don't have to grind for them, but wait, they can't just give you out right, they're too greedy for that. So they make you gamble for it. I once played a game where once you've rolled a commander they'll sell you a booster pack for the commander within an hour and that was the best deal in the game. The only ones who find that game enjoyable are either super whales or grinders who sold their soul to the game, you have no time to do anything else if you wish to play with minimum payments.

People who spend months or years to get ships go beyond me. Maybe people unlike you don't have so much time for gaming and since world of warships is the best naval game and there is no competetor, then ofc people wanna test out ships faster.

Well if you get mogador before realese you enjoy OP ship before balans come in.

Makes you wonder if they are not violating some advertising laws in some jurisdictions. It's advertised as 1 chance in 72 while increasing as you go but if the odds are being jiggered with to make it behave like Ichase is suggesting....well that's false advertising.

Hmmm. I had 4900 doubloons that have been sitting for a little while and got Johann De Witt on the third try. But, yes it seems to be a clever way of Wargaming doing this. It is blatant gambling at this point. 😲🙁

Ouch :( let's have a drink for that rotten "luck"

@@arpeggios_vv2204 oof.

I had 3005 doubloons Bought 0 boxes Still got 3005 doubloons Calculated the odds and it's 100% drop rate on not being a mug

I was surprised that the sale of Agincourt didnt generated a shitstorm.........it wasnt in the shop, just in lootcrates, if i remember right.

It’s a Russian company course they are fuking robbing u … maybe it’s fair .. yeh right

De Ruyter is a good boat.

Be like me, just login for daily login and then immediately close the game.

@@Meonium But why? If youre not playing the game anymore, why do you need the daily login credit? in 10,000 years you might have all the resources you need to have your way with the game for free? Doesnt make sense my dude.

you get the T7 from mission not tokens, you can get the t8 with tokens but you gotta buy a few more tokens since you could get to the bundle before the t8 completely free

@@leemarcus6123 Teir 4 6 and 8 are tokens 5 and 7 are directive list rewards.

The auction involved credits, didn't it, i don't remember it having people spend doubloons for an item. correct me if I'm wrong.

one can even convert FXP and still get a better deal lol when I started WoWS in 2015 I thought converting FXP was a scam.. look at us us now..

They even beat EA with this.

uhm St. petersburg, they drink the finest vodka

Nha they past weed at this stage... think they got walter white making some good shit in their office man..

So you only actually got a camo. The rest will be free in a month.

@@EvoraGT430 I know man but I'm just trying to have fun

@@EvoraGT430 His money

I know right!?

Just wait for that content. You'll still have it and for much less financial pain; what's not to like about that?

"Like" Gambling definition: Taking risky action in the hope of a desired result. This is about as literal a representation of gambling as any that exists, except seemingly more rigged than most.

@@ApothecaryTerry Funny thing is, if I remember correctly, it's illegal in Holland for a game to have "loot boxes" like these.

@rupert its actually belgium ;)

don't waste your time waiting buddy, because there's no argument for that. spending hundreds and hunfreds of dollars on something you *rent* (because when this game eventually shuts down, your in-game items will go down with it) is just plain stupidity

You're still monitoring the game though. Not a bad thing. I still monitor the Homeworld 3 dev staff. How does WOW compare now vs then? (I've been playing for about a year. Still a noob)

@@rwarren58 I do as well because I really want to like this game, I really do. I've spent hundreds of hours with it and bought lots of stuff over the years. Apart from Christmas boxes I've never bought into these lottery ones though, but still simply this whole overly greedy BS wore me out of the game. And the worst thing is that it didn't really even affect my gameplay, yet here we are.

@@atagobestwaifu3746 WOWS deserves to get paid for their hard work. We do, don't we? However, when you set prices, it must be fair, it must be agreeable to the community as a whole too. I think the community agrees. Almost 400 dollars for any ship, is ridiculous. I'll grind it out, TYVM.

I used to think the same way, but companies are using very advanced manipulatory techniques to do this, so it's not entirely the fault of many who fall for this. Agree they really should try to stop, though.

We need som1 to pay to keep the game running, we profit of their backs hehe
