Didn't Serb say at one point that the defining feature of NA server was not liking a challenge? Think this is the perfect example of that. WG is doing everything it can to accommodate smaller clans.... the Campaigns feature a blank map for everybody, and even feature lower tier tanks and unique goals so that the clans that have figured out how to best play the current gamemodes get their advantage partially nullified. And yet people still complain.

WG is doing its best to un-stack the deck and deal everybody fair hands, so that everybody gets a chance to compete. Will the smaller/worse clans win? No, probably not. I'll probably never see the M60 in my garage. But that's not WG's fault, that's a question of competence. If my clan can't get into the top 30, that's on us. We weren't good enough, and that's okay. At least we get an equal chance to prepare and compete.

No game should guarantee equal outcomes, only equal opportunities.

And yet you still have no clue Why ppl are really mad.  Most of the ppl that are mad are not the ones that are low W/R or are not in the top clans.  The ppl that are pissed are the ones that love this game, put money into this game, but do not have the time to devote to a clan.  You might know them as the players that have families and jobs and lives.

Most of the players that are pissed are the ones that are being left out, and do not have a chance to to even get this prize.  My clan and i are not mad that we will not get the M60 Patton even thought we still will work our butts off and try to get them,  But We do support all of the players that can not commit to a clan that are upset about this.
I'd like to compete in the Olympics and win some medals, but alas, I got a job so can't devote 8 hours a day to train for years. Olympics is unfair imo, you're required to be on a "national team". But some of us aren't fast or strong enough to be on a national team, and don't have the time to train but would still like a chance at a gold medal.

I'm not in a clan
I also pad lots (61% W/R)
I have 3 Tier tens after 23k battles
I don't have Premium for more than a year and a half now

Am I pissed? Yes because it's not the M60 Starship
Am I feeling left out? No, because I can ask in-game friends about the M60 when and if they do get it

Always a spot in PBKAC (and my heart) for you babe <3.

Only the best players are going to get it.... what is the world coming too    :teethhappy:

Maybe WG can add a welfare category and every terrible clan can buy a lottery ticket and we can watch a drawing....

I'll be happy with that. Still, waiting for the VK 72.01 (K) campaign.

You want an M-60? get it the old fashioned way. EARN IT......otherwise shut the hell up.
I would LOVE to be able to obtain this tank the old fashioned way, by EARNING it, but unfortunately I dont have the opportunity to even try to earn it as Im not in a clan.  I dont have the slightest problem with WG awarding the tank to players that EARN it, I just wish everyone had the same opportunity to at least take a stab at winning it.  But Im ok with being punished for not having the time to devote to a clan...my awesome wife, kids, great job, CVO Street Glide, '64 Impala convertible (all the stuff I got the old fashioned way)...all make up for it.  While you clanners are out trying to EARN this virtual prize, me and the wife will be taking my real life prize on a road trip through the Appalachian Mountains enjoying the fresh air.
Kudos to those that win it, you earned it.


btw WG, I was thinking about visiting the gift shop again here this weekend, but I will be enjoying the things I earned in life instead, in fact every time I consider visiting the gift shop AGAIN, I will just take my Harley for a 3 day cruise instead...after all, I EARNED it.
