EDIT: Turns out its not an exploit! Basically, if you buy one of the new gift items, and already have the tank, you will get the gold that the tank would have cost. So you can buy 2 gift T-127's, and you'll get 1 t-127, a slot, the gold that comes with the gift, and the gold that the 2nd t-127 would have cost. GOOD DEAL!

If a mod or someone could PM me I would gladly explain why their gift shop is prone to exploitation.

Thanks

(PS, I'm not sure if its intended or not, but I would think its not intended)

If it has to do with multiple of the same thing giving you tons of gold tank slot etc. it's working as intended.

are you sure this is working as intended? Because I got 3500 gold, a t14, and a slot, all for 16 bucks.... Just seems odd.

If you already have the tank it converts value of gold and adds that to gold gained plus you still get the slot the tank would have been in, it's working as intended.

I realize that, thats why I tried it out. But it all seems like an ass-backwards way and pretty much makes buying anything but the gift t14 twice a waste of money.... plus they dont seem to acknowledge this anywhere....

If you buy 6 T-127 packages when you already have a T-127 in your garage, you will get 7500 gold for $23.94.  Devs said that the new packages are 30% more savings from the current packages, hence the "only May" offer.  I really like these offers, and some of it goes to charities too!

They like doing it, it gets peoples wallets out and makes money, people wait for these sales.

They are aware of this and it's as intended.

Also, proceeds from those sales are going to Vet charities. So please, exploit repeatedly!

I've used the T14 ~exploit~.  I feel so ashamed.  Damn you War veteran charities!  ;)

This also applies if you use retail box codes and the like. I bought a bunch of retail boxes for cheap and when I redeemed the codes I got a T2 light tank the first time and then 750 gold (the T2's price) for each code used after, plus all the other good stuff those codes bring.

OP ... this was brought up yesterday... and it's not an exploit.. so you can just stop right there.

Unless you think donating 75% of the proceeds to charity multiple times is some sort of "exploit," I, and the charities, suggest you shut up.
