Since the introduction of the LATAM test server, I have found the games not nearly as frustrating as when WG included all from that player base (Latam) were included in the NA server.
The LATAM player generally (in my humble opinion) seem to either lemming all to one location or simply camp and do very little. This is not the world of tank I prefer! I like to get into a brawl and know I can count on another team mate for support. GENERALLY speaking, I cannot count on most from the LATAM sever as they seem afraid to take a hit or to actually engage (THIS IS AT ALL TIERS). Scouts hanging beside arty has been a thing I have witnessed all too many times on the NA server since the amalgamation with LATAM and has proven time and time again to be a member for Latin American player base.
My point in all of this is that when you amalgamate player bases, you have to give consideration to the negative impact on the current player base. I personally am not impressed with the playing style I noted above. This is expect in their 1 and 2 perhaps, but not in higher tiers. Yes, some Americans, Canadians, Australians and Europeans play this style, and usually called out for it. Mostly stat padders that are more concerned about the wn8 and their numbers then actually winning or seemingly playing the game.
I realize there may be a numbers issue for generating teams if we don't have some cross pollination, but I have to say, when I see LATAM server players on my team, I am skeptical of win or even survival beyond the middle of the game. JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION.
Is there not a way to contribute to the server numbers in a more positive way? I like the idea of opening up all servers to all players. Perhaps then the game will stabilize across all servers.
PS: maybe add a 'your a camping/lemming ^%$&" report button.
PLEASE NOTE: Many of the Latinos I have platooned with are really good players. It seems however the player style from the Latam server player base is not what I imagined WoT would be. Not trying to be a hater, just trying to figure out how to make the game on all servers for all players better.
