Looks like you are the one trying to be a know it all, yet you know very little judging by all the illogical / misinformed statements you make on this topic.

Then he gets on a low battle secondary troll account to try to continue fighting....please try new tactics..... using the same language with 2 tankers from the came clan is hardly a challenge to see....keep trying to troll cause you are still failing at the moment.

Not sure what you mean... did you not even look in the store?  Previously announced deals (t14/-15/-25) are still there.

Sorry if I was not clear, pvtbryan. What I mean is that the previously advertised specials, which were stated as valid through May 31st, are not in the gift shop. It appears that you are confusing the new specials, which happen to feature some (but not all) of the same vehicles, with the old specials, which have been removed. Those specials were at a better overall value, much lower price point ($3.99 and up), and featured different vehicles, such as the T-127.

Perhaps it is you that did not even look in the store.

They rised all the prices, changed the packs and quit some packs without advertisement...

Good lord can't you people be happy with a special and not b*tch/moan every time. Now we are onto US Law? ... I for one remember them saying that the Type-59 would be back in the store in the future when they removed it, for special events.

The T-15 and T-25 deals were changed, they are not as good as they used to be.  The best deal, the T-127 package, disappeared.  The only one that is still there in its original form is the T14.  At least that one is still a good deal.

i bought multiple 127s and got the gift refund for each.... type 59 is up there now thou!

I resent being insulted over my low battle count, and I also resent you calling me a troll. Not everybody was a beta tester like you. Are you suggesting that new players should be banned from the game?

I am not personally insulting you - I spoke out against YOUR ACTIONS which are the only trolling I see in this thread. Everyone else is upset the way wargaming took out the specials without saying anything even though they SAID they would be available until the end of May! You are the one basically calling people dumb for believing in the company. So you are insulting both the company who makes the game and also the players who play the game. Anyone else you are interested in trolling? Actually, is there anyone left?

As you grow in your understanding of the real world, you will hopefully at some point figure out that a company doing business in the USA, performing transactions and collecting US funds, is licensed and regulated by US business, trade, civil, and criminal law. Why do you think Wargaming.net has a San Francisco office? Tourism? Do you believe that the San Francisco office falls under Russian law? Would that be corporate diplomatic immunity? Awesome line of reasoning you have there.

And your reasoning is awesome too considering the San Francisco office is to "build and oversee customer service, public relations and community mre less.anagement" any reporting they do make in the US would include no sales from that office. All Sales go through Playspan! Keep down voting me all you want with your troll secondary accounts i really could care less.

Well I think that the abuse of the original promos led to them being pulled, but I agree the title read through the 31st, not for a limited time or while supplies last.  I bought one of each promo on the T14, T-127 & T-25 just to have.  With this weeks event I was going to buy 5 more of the T-127 packages to fnd converting some free xp(200k) to research the T25  AT and M12 while they are half off, but now economically it probably won't make sense.  That being said I might snatch up a Type while they are back on the market.  People that are upset about buying it before it was pulled a few months back just know that the devs said it would make appearances in the future and that it was not gone for good, so don't gripe about it now that it is back for probably a very limited time.

Apologies sir, wasn't keeping up with exact $ amounts (or tanks apparently - missed the absence of the 127) in the store.  I am indeed a noob & stand corrected.

the probably were intended to be there the whole time... but as usual enterprising players figured out the exploit and everyone took advantage....

they weren't going to leave something up that was such a tremendous deal when exploited.

Except they knew how good of a deal it was ... Vallter (from Wot Minsk HQ) said as much in post #26 in this very thread:

Further calculations will drive you to conclusion that all May offers for Gift shop have 30% discount included. And it's intended -)

I guess they knew it was going to be a good deal ... but not that it would be THAT popular?  Frustrating ...

[VonBorakus]

I was waiting for the type 59! Hopefully they all come with the 1000 gold!

No I'm saying you meet NONE recruitment requirements of clan your in and your diction is the same as DocHawk's, which is very distinct an identifiable. Your the same person, which is compounded by the fact that your FIRST POST, in the WHOLE almost 8 months since that account was made, was the one in this thread trying to defend DocHawk and down vote me. It is hardly difficult to identify patterns like that.

And they never SAID the deals would be available all month you people INTERPRETED the message in their favor, as a lot of people seem to do, which is not wargaming's fault. In no post they explicitly say "Hey guys these are the specials for the whole month!" they said "try out the following packaged with terrific offers. "Try out" in the english language usually symbolizes something that is trial aka not going to last long.

Just some quick calculations

Total value (Gold+tank+repair kits+Fire kit+garage slot)
$7.60 PZ35 package = 600+1000+300+350+300 =2550   -> 335 gold/$
$8.00 T-15 package = 800+900+250+250+300 = 2500 -> 312.5 gold/$
$11.20 T25 package = 1000+1500+400+400+300=3600 -> 321 gold/$
$34.99 Type59 package = 1000+7500+0+0+300=8800   -> 251 gold/$
$3.99 T-127 package = 400+850+300+50+0=1600    -> 401 gold/$ (Not Available anymore)


Gold value (Excluding extras that can't be sold for gold and assuming you already own the tank)
$7.60 PZ35 package = 600+1000 = 1600  -> 210 gold/$
$8.00 T-15 package = 800+900 = 1700   -> 212 gold/$
$11.20 T25 package = 1000+1500 =  2500  -> 223 gold/$
$34.99 Type59 package = 1000+7500 =  8500 -> 242 gold/$
$3.99 T-127 package = 400+800 =  1200 -> 300 gold/$ (Not Available anymore)


Gold Packages  for comparison
$99.95 gold package = 25000    -> 250 gold / $
$49.95 gold package =12000 -> 240 gold / $
$29.95 gold package = 6500 -> 217 gold /$
$14.95 gold package = 3000 -> 200 gold/$
$6.95 gold package   = 1250    -> 180 gold/$


So the T-127 deal was the best by far for both total value and just the gold. Probably the reason why they got rid of it, they don't want any values being better than the $100 gold package. For currently available packages the PZ35 deal is really good at 335 g/$ if you want the consumables. If you just want to get gold and already have the Type 59 then that will be your best option since it is about eaqual to the $50 gold package (250g/$) but at $15 less.

EDIT: Fixed the calculation for the Type 59 gold per dollar excluding the garage slot.

They never said THOSE deals would last all month people assumed they would be the same deals all month. They probably mean to have deals up all month and rotate/change them on a weekly basis.

Yes they did - and it is still up saying starting from may 7 until 31 may the following packages with terrific offers

Mick


just refreshed the page and the new offers are now up. But it did say for the month.
