Except it is not a conspiracy theory, and it is a very offending thing to say so. When somebody steals something from me, I am fully entitled to loose trust. Wargaming obviously thinks that it is in a very comfortable position not to care about these things, but people care for what they have spend time and money on. Without trust, even simple business transactions do not happen. Try selling anything to a guy who thinks you are going to rob him when he pulls out his wallet…

Now that business with the 1200ps engine on E-75 looks really fishy to me. If I had spend money (gold) for experience conversion to get that engine quickly, loosing it without full XP compensation would have made me extremely angry. in WoT, we have seen a lot of nerfs over time, and even if the developpers planned to actually balance the engine thing, the *perception* of the players whether they got treated fairly is very much important. With things as they are now, I am reluctant to spend any further gold again on any quick grind – and I did not even used free XP on the E-75 engine. Less gold spend from me = less real money earned for Wargaming.

Or put it this way: they just got one full wallet warrior less – you know, one of those guys who actually pay the software developers’ wages – and one more Free-To-Play with an occasional Premium account. Well done!
