Whenever I check how much XP I have remaining towards a module or tank, the game has the annoying tendency to calculate the remaining XP with both your vehicle and Free XP pools. I don't want that! My free XP in general goes only to one tank or module that I want to grind past much faster!
So I propose the following, you can "Padlock" your Free XP in the garage screen. This will accomplish two things:
1)The game will assume you will not spend Free XP on modules and calculate remaining experience accordingly.
2)You will not be able to spend your Free XP pool until you unlock it. This is to prevent accidental spending of Free XP while you were reading the tech tree.
It's a small but useful UI change I think. Thoughts?

Good idea - I have a big problem myself with frivolous spending of free xp. I will get up to 60 or 70k then get bored and blow it unlocking some low tier stuff to screw around in etc. I think it would be awesome if you could pay off the xp you need to unlock a new tank or modules in installments. eg: Say I have 20k free xp i could pay that towards my maus, before i do something silly with it. Slowly but surely I could pay off all the required xp in installments like this rather than blowing it on silly stuff.
I dont think that WG would ever implement this, mainly because they make a lot of $$$ from people spending gold to convert xp to speed up their grinds like this. I guess that you can just look at it as a microcosm or real life financial management, it should be useful in learning basic budgeting lol but like I said I am terrible at it in this and real life.

Ah I love this idea, I can't tell you how many times I have been saving up my free exp, only to lose my patience and spend it.

I get around this by spending every last cent of my gold on gold rounds... then play to my hearts content... by the time I get money to convert exp again, I've saved enough for my next big thing, or tank.

When grinding, a normally collect over 20k free XP simply by playing the game, not converting with gold.

You do know Banks have credit limits for a reason? It's the same idea here!
