Howdy Boom Jockeys!

 

Just a friendly reminder that the Anniversary store is more of a Taco truck visiting in the UI, in a town you are not familiar with, and only visiting.

 

Its legendary menu will be lost to you, making you forever retrace your steps of that visit for the deliciously messy Taco. The kind that is covered in Queso, in an alleyway that branches off from a gas station driveway. 

 

I will find you again one day The Taco Truck I miss dearly!

 

Anyway. The Coins expire on 12OCT so hurry up and spend them.

Impatience is a virtue that only WG posses.

Methinks there's going to be higher coin items and this is to try goading spending of current stockpiles so you'll have to buy future coin tokens

[rockbutcher]

Watch them throw something of actual value in there right at the end and the forums will be swamped by "Well you TOLD me to ..."

That would be pretty low even for WG but certainly not out of the question 

 

I bought a camo during act 1 but have saved all my coins since then,  it's not like they're starting to smell or anything 

[FrontenacDuVandoo]

It's also a taco truck that won't let you buy more than one item at a time, and forces you to go to the back of the line each time you buy something.

 

I guess they are telling us to get a head start because it will take a few weeks of clicking in order to spend all those coins buying stuff one by one.

[gpc_4]

Why does WG keep trying to make us spend the coins when there is over two months left to do so?

Strange.....

I've been wondering ever since that article was first posted, why are you guys trying to push people into spending their coins when we're months away from the end still  ?

 

Sale of extra coin packages not going as well as you thought it would or something  ?

[SquishySupreme]

Some stickers.  And a couple of useless camos.

You know, I have to say that WG is one of the stingiest companies around, only tied with those fools who put out Raid in terms of how much you have to grind to get so little.
Even the Frontline/Whatever stupid mode they are coming up with this year rewards are such an outrageous grind.  I'm not talking about the tanks, but how the year before it was piles of boosters, blueprints, and credits.

The worse things get and the more people play other games instead (largely due to being stuck inside), the less they give out?  I'm not even bothering.  The stickers lead to nothing substantial anyways.

[gpc_4]

Put some interesting, historical camo/styles/emblems/inscriptions in the shop and then I'll pay. 

Maybe some female crew members?

What's available now is just not worthwhile. No reason not to hold onto the coins and hope for something better. I'm guessing a lot of people are doing the same thing...and will continue to do so until the event is over or WG officially states that there is no last minute offers in August.

[SquishySupreme]

Honestly, what most payers want are bonds to get improved equipment and/or bounty equipment.  Most players could care less about camos and want something that improves their tank stats.  But what we get are stickers.

You can't use common sense with WG.

^This because WG is NOT worried about you spending them on the stupid crap in the shop; they are more about goading you into spending them so you have to buy a bundle or some other crap to buy something decent down the road. Have you EVER known WG to warn you this far in advance that you might miss out on something that's actually good?? I didn't think so. I'll let my tokens rot on the vine and if there's nothing better down the road they'll just go away; they didn't cost me anything but time so i'm not worried about it.

Methinks Krazy has seen the internal stats and very few people who earn the coins are spending them. He's trying to help.

[makalu2k6]

Nothing in the current store is worth buying for the hard earned coins WG. So let me know if it's not true. 

[Einzelganger7]

Nothing really interest me on the event store so I am saving them until the last days in case something wothy is added. Besides, they expire until October... why rushing if we are still in July?
