In another weekend WoT match watching people trolling each other. And a thought crossed my mind. No matter what I spend in game, it just does not matter. My internet is in rural MO. is crap compared to when I was in Houston Tx.. Win Rate was better FPS & PING better. Cost of internet was cheaper in Houston. In Houston I had better download speeds & upload speeds then I do in rural MO.. Same computer I bought 9 years ago that cost me grand for it. The fps & ping is good here, but not as good. I had unlimited everything, here HOLY COW. Need to take a loan out. So I play fewer games to eat that data. I still say play, but lower your expectation.
Just that I noticed the same players that get all the OP tank & have many OP tanks that others will never get. Is that fair? NO! Is it WoT problem? NO! But that means there will never ever be a MM game in WoT that will be fair or equal. Each player have different variables to their equations. Like internet connections & speeds, then computer power. That's before you add even more variables to the equation.
I just started laughing in a Ranked match & thought : wtham I doing? I won't get this tank! I am not spending enough to get the tank or another OP tank in WoT.
SO, I have NO ta-da moment, or a brilliant quote. Just saying I know I will never get OP tanks in Ranked battles OR Rewards this or that. So I will not play these games. But strongholds & others I will put my tactical knowledge to use vs those OP tanks I will never get. Trolls now it is your turn: troll away.
The answer is clear: Move to Houston and you'll be a winner!
LOL - some of the responses here from Hellsfog, Buttknuckle (careful son, you described some mods that patrol these woods), and others made me laugh because its funnier when its true.
I hear what you're saying OP. A group like Mahou (for example) already has some great talent, and in clan wars they reap more bonds, gold, etc. and can boost their own regular and reward tanks to the max for an even greater edge. To some, that doesn't seem right. Well, let me just tell you my experience. When I was younger (in WoT), I joined a group of more experienced players but they were bad to mediocre at the game. Every time we faced a better clan or got destroyed, they blamed it on hacking. I didn't know any better so I believed what they were saying. Then I started watching some great players from great clans on their live streams and realized that they weren't cheating, they were just smarter, like way smarter, at playing the game AND they had more talent. So I left that group and became a legionnaire so that I could work with better clans and callers. Every so often a great clan would pick me up (out of desperation) and I would LEARN things that I never thought of. The game became easier to me because I understood a lot more. One day, I had a great run with Y0L0 in some Advances and was asked to join for the tank campaign. Listening to the commander, O_P_Hacker make calls and then adjustments on the fly blew my mind. How could he know that they were pushing the 2 line just by seeing the 1 light tank on the 8 line? How did he know exactly what some of the top 3 clans were about to do? Etc. Etc. That's when I realized I am a checkers player and I may never be able to pick up chess in this game. I left Y0L0 after earning my 907 and wasn't planning on joining a clan again until I figured some more out on my own. Then they threw the Chieftan back into the ring for the next tank campaign and I was fortunate enough to join OPIC. The tank campaign fell during an open spot in my summer plans where I had an inordinate amount of time to be able to spend on tanking. Tank campaigns drain the life out of you if you play them every night. But they're very exciting and if you happen to be with a good enough group where you can WIN games, you will reap the rewards. Trust me, I did.
The long and the short of it: play better and with better teams, and you too will see rewards that you haven't seen before. Too many people in here believe that they are great at the game when they are not - take it from one who learned the hard way. The rewards and reward tanks are as they should be. Hopefully, you will realize that one day. Until then, I'll see you out on the checkerboard!
