Dear Gentleusers of the Forum,

 

I'm here today to implore you, don't buy this new KV-2R or the BDR G1 B Skin!  Skins and the like have been the downfall of so many games.  It's just a terrible path for an MMO to take.

 

Soon they'll be pulling team members from development of new tanks, new tech trees, new maps; all to throw into this money sink of skins.

 

"Oh, we don't have to work on generating quality content anymore; we just need an intern with minimal art skills to make a skin and we'll sell it for $10!"

 

Jesus Christ please no.  Don't encourage Wargaming to go down this terrible path.  Refuse to buy into this skin thing.  We don't need a shop full of 50,000 skins for tanks and no maps to play them on.

 

Deny them this.

Maybe WG wants to kill WoT?

[P0NYTANK]

I just want 2 things from WG:

 

1.- Let us choose to play w / o Arties

2.- A MM that really works

 

I have no problems with the Goodies or Fashinables, or even the lack of maps, but those 2 things makes the experience to play WoT Horrible and Frustrating

I'd buy a tank skin if it was reasonably priced, but that isn't the case here.

 

Heck, someone could buy gold and free xp to the KV-2 and it would be considerably cheaper than buying the premium counterpart.

[Vardeman]

Just get free skins.  For instance Aslain's modpack has quite a few.

I'm buying twelve.

[SkaerKrow]

I’m buying both, and you can stick your instructions to the contrary.

Quality content like Paris and the 268 v4? Don't get me wrong, I see your point, but I'm willing to bet they're going to do a bad job regardless.

 

I was going to buy the KV-2 until I found out those 30% off coupons don't work on specials. You want new premium tanks? You must buy them at full price in a ridiculous bundle. But you can have the old ones nobody wants at 30% off.

[YANKEE137]

Not a bad deal.  Now I can actually train a crew while enjoying KV-2 LoLs- and that BIA crew is always valuable. The world is not coming to an end.

The current MM works. I have been put in matches based on the new formats. No failures. 

[Worland]

NA is like 4% of the player base. You need to preach on the RU where 75% of the players are.

​You don't understand how economics work.  If people buy these skins, it's saying to the developers "Hey we like this do this more".  Which encourages them to further make more skins.  Which more people buy.  Which makes them make more. Then people will buy more. Then they can't make them fast enough so they take team members from developing tanks or tech trees or clan wars to keep up with demand; which then puts everything else behind; but they're still making money.  It's not about what I can or can not afford (which I can afford to buy everything in the shop and then some, I'm a CNC Machinist after all.); it's about choosing not to buy something that will be detrimental to the state of the game in the long run.

​And when the game becomes a skin lottery fest with 0 actual progress in development we'll blame you.

[tonkmato]

TOO LATE!!!! There are many tech tree tanks i would buy if they offered a premium version.  KV2 was one, and now it's mine

 

To clarify, I don't give a cap about skins. I just wanted a premium KV2

If people choose to buy skins to the point that it sends a message to the developers that says "Hey, we like this, do more", than wouldn't that mean that they are popular and are attractive to a majority of customers?  Sounds like you just might be afraid that you might be in the minority.
