the more bizzar the problem is the more likely its caused by a different issue

log out then back in

done that a few times already. hope it comes back up soon. lol

2 out of 3 of what I bought went through...any idea how long these 'delays' are?

I've been trying to buy some things from the gift shop since last night and my payments are being canceled. I bought the T-25 for myself the day the sales went up and the T-127 4x gifting through the week it was up and getting one for myself too. I know some people were talking about being cut off after buying 6 things in a row but has anyone figured out how long it lasts or anything? Having only bought 5 things over the course of a week and a half I'm starting to worry I may be out of luck on the current gift shop sales. I submitted a support ticket too hoping they would be able to help me out but 10 hours later I've gotten no response and I figured I would post here and see if any solution can be provided.

edit: I think this applies well here.. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=JQCP85FngzE

What happened to the Gold and Credits Package III?
I want to buy it before the Military Parade Special ends, but it isn't in the Gift Shop!!!

Glad I didnt wait the extra day to buy the Type 59.

Its already been removed.

I was too late..

As mentioned in my post above I was having paypal/playspan issues(which still haven't been resolved) but I finally broke down and borrowed a credit card about 45 minutes ago just to find out I had missed my chance.

G** F***ing D*** IT. they took out the Gold and Creds pack III. SON. OF. A. *****. I was waiting for my paycheck that came in on Friday, stay up until 2:30 in the morning for it, and finally get it. I go to the Website. It takes me FOREVER to FINALLY get to the Gift Shop because Chrome won;t let me sign in, so I have to use Internet Explorer (Should just uninstall IE, but since Chrome won't let me fking Log In, I need IE). After about 15 minutes, I get to the Gift Shop, only to find the pack I REALLY need isn't available. Despite the ad saying "Available all month long!" I needed that paycheck, I patiently waited for it and was so happy when I saw it would be all month. Way to snatch a GW Tiger from my hands. Now I get to grind a whole 2 MILLION Credits (without a premium Account). Don;t Advertise what you won't keep. That isn't just poor relations or mis-communication - That right there is a sign of a bad company. I do not see you as a bad company, but this is starting to make people wonder. You don;t advertise something and then pull it without telling anyone. I work at Wendy's. Do you know how infuriated and enraged people would be if we all of a sudden discontinued our Baconator? That wouldn't fly too well. You NEED to start ANNOUNCING shit BEFORE you do it. You are GOING to lose customers if you do something and then when people start noticing say "oh, by the way we did this....." That's like the little kid that only admits he colored on the wall when you find the crayon in his pocket.....
--EDIT--
Glad the Charity Events are still going (derp much? You pulled the REGULAR May specials, but not the Charity Event stuff. Funny how that works ain't it? Made a commitment and now you are forced to follow it through?) I think it's funny that you pulled them at all. "we were losing money on those packs" ORLY? It costs somehting to make a digital number appear on a screen, AND pull money from an account? Wow real lotta sweat there. Heaven forbid you get carpal tunnel while typing the command to put a digital representation of a vehicle on my screen, as opposed to the real thing.

Wait I thought it was going to be on sale for a couple of weeks? That really blows I wanted to buy one but I don't get paid till next Thursday

It did happen last week too so you had warning..they're just switching packs weekly.

Not saying it doesn't suck that they removed it at such an odd time of day but the whole month long argument doesn't really hold water this time around.

Exactly, not ALL of us HAVE money to just blow whenever we damn well want. Like I said, they need to either keep to their word, announce SOMETHING before they do it, or don't even bother offering it. I can see the Type getting pulled again. they shouldn't have offered the blasted thing again in the first place. Got peoples hopes up so they could pull it. Few people I know said it wouldn't make it the whole month.
--EDIT--
found out Type was set to be pulled on the 11th. Sorry, I got one way back when so I did not notice the Type Offer expired

As for the other pack, they are gonna catch a lot of flak for not saying anything. This is getting old. Almost as old as them missing several patches in a row. That's right WG, some of us remember that.

But they did not originally SAY they were going to do this. They said whole month.
Not only THAT, but who checks the Gift Shop every day? I saw it last week, it said whole month, so I derrived that this would be available all month.



It says the Type will be gone on the 11th. It says NOTHING about switching packs, or removing anything in favor of something else, or doing anything OTHER that removing the Type 59 on the 11th. Yes, I acknowledge it says "before they are over". However, they did not say when they would pull them. We had to figure it out the hard way - at the end of the week.

I appologize to anyone who took this as gloating.  It was not meant to be that.

NitroLauncher717, on May 11 2012 - 09:14, said:

Fair enough. I hope this doesn't offend you in any way but the 2 mil credits pack was actually really cost-ineffective. You say you don't have premium so why not spend your $20 on one of the packages with more gold(maybe two T-14 packs?) and buy yourself premium for a month to get those 2m credits and much, much more? With 3 average/decent games a day in a tier 5 over the course of a month with premium you can earn well over 2 million credits. Any more you play is just icing on the cake and if you play 5 or 6 games a day in a tank that isn't too high tier you can get your new arty piece sooner and have premium to assist with the stock tank grind.

To throw some math at you you can get your GWTiger in 8 days if you play 10 games a day in a tier 5 with premium. 10 games a day may not be realistic for you but in the long run I think premium may be your best bet regardless of how much of the premium time you spend grinding the credits. Patience is a virtue.    The numbers are all based off of my average 25k or so profit in tier 5s with premium, I'm a pretty average player so I doubt you will fall short of my rough numbers.

Wind2008, on May 11 2012 - 09:29, said:

It may not have been COST effective, but it was TIME effective. And I don't make 25K a match in a tier 5 vehicle. MAYBE a REALLY good match in a Premium T5 Vehicle on prem account. but outside of that it has to be one of my T8s to pull it off, and even THEN. Time is a factor because I work so much, and have college, so playtimes are an issue, but 10 games a day is easy. I see your point, but I thought I was done grinding when I finally got the XP I needed. I would just buy the 2Mil Gold pack and use the Gold to convert the last XP and be on my way, but NOOOO. Nothing is EVER easy.

I suck, straight out and admit it. I suck.

I want to buy Package III  for USD 19.99!!!!

I need the money to buy the Fredi!!!!!!!!!!

This, this, this, this, and this.  Friday paydays, and they pulled the Lazyass Package Thursday night.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!



P.S.:  Bring back the "I don't feel like running my Lowe anymore" package plox.  Some of us just suck.  Plus I hate credit grinding.

Lol lazyass package!

Wait till next Monday, never know what WG will put up next!!!

Dedos, on May 11 2012 - 15:11, said:

+1 for "Lazyass Package" name
And if you think about it, MOST paydays are on Friday. And even if they aren't - Is Friday NOT still part of the week? We could have gone Saturday and Sunday without anything. Provided of course they told us before.

And yes, I like playing credit tanks, but not because we HAVE to. Things aren't as enjoyable when you have a deadline or a daunting goal.
