I’m not having much fun *now*, but I have had fun in the past. My enjoyment of the game has waned significantly. Is that too difficult to understand? Surely your own enjoyment of the game has not been at exactly the same level since day 1.

Your relentless obsession with equating me to a potato is quite humorous. My stats clearly show I’m not a potato, so your argument is obviously groundless. So clear is your error that even you must see it.

But you persist, and this is why: you want me to be an idiot because you’ve put yourself in a situation where one of us has to be an idiot and you don’t want it to be yourself.

The answer to your literal question is that your logic is flawed. If I claim the same thing potatoes claim, that doesn’t make me a potato. It may be probable, but it is not necessarily true. Look up “modus ponens” and “modus tollens” for the only two logical arguments to be made presuming a single if/then. You used neither, therefore you’re wrong.

So, again, the question you *should* be asking is why a player with pretty good stats is fed up with the game. You should at least *try* to examine your own presuppositions.

Of course you won’t, though, because this is the Internet.

I did get better, and then I stopped getting better. Everyone has an upper limit to how well they can play tempered by how much they care about the game. That much is self evident.

Also, my garage has a crapload of tanks because I don’t play for stats. I keep all the tanks I like and may want to play again, and I keep a crew in them (aside from premium tanks for obvious reasons). I have probably 50 crews between barracks and garage.

So, again, I’m not stat padding.

“For the record I’ve seen what the dossier of a really good player actually looks like – it’s my brother actually – and not only do his metrics blow your out of the water at ~17k battles, *they’re still rising*.”

Of course there are better players in the game than I, I never claimed otherwise. There are definitely players with better stats, too.

My GWR, if I gave a fuck about it, would be going up. But I don’t. I could be platooning, using more gold ammo and gold consumables, but I’m not. I could be playing lots of games in mid-tier OP tanks to farm wins, but I’m not. I could be gaming the system to maximize my GWR, but why would I do that? Statistics are not the point of the game for me.

See, you can’t decide what your argument it. It started out by claiming I pad my stats. Once that pathetic argument was thrashed, now you’re arguing I’m not a good player. Please, make up your mind. Because right now you just look stupid.

I think your problem is that you care about stats but have worse stats. And that bugs you. So you’re trying on every possible argument that doesn’t end up with you simply being worse at the game. But there’s no shame in finding your level and wanting to be happy there. There’s only shame in trying to hide it.

I repeat: if you’re so good, why are you parroting the responsibility-evading excuses of dumbshit potatoes? And if you’re not having fun, in some manner at least… why the *fuck* do you have nearly twice my number of battles on an acc 13 days older? Or are still playing, for that matter?

And drop the bullshit zen act plox.

Also the last I checked more battles *should* correlate to rising WRs on account of, you know, *getting better* at both the game and the specific vehicle – not to forget about your tenk crews getting better skillz too, FWIW. If they don’t you’re either doing something wrong or have hit your limits, and I for one tend to find a noticeable gap between WR and the other metrics kinda dodgy.
For the record I’ve seen what the dossier of a really good player actually looks like – it’s my brother actually – and not only do his metrics blow your out of the water at ~17k battles, *they’re still rising*. (Yeah, he’s constantly telling me to keep up better when we platoon; my numbers and performance can’t hold a candle to his.)

Also, “* I am really not a unicum and never claimed to be.” Allow me to quote from below: “My WN8 is 2315. Yours?”
Please.

“* 160 battles is statistically insignificant. I have a 64% WR in my T82 over 177 games, and that tank is ready to explode as soon as the countdown starts.”
Completely missing the point (doubly so as the T82 is hilariously fragile anyway). After about a hundred battles in given vehicle the random vagaries are gradually eliminated by the laws of large numbers; more practically, in mid-tier tanks elite configuration is well achieved by that point. If you have your shit together you should then only be getting better at playing that tank if you keep at it; when you’re at over thousand battles in it you should know it inside out as well as how to use it in the various maps, which should directly correlate to better performance metrics.
57% at 1,1k is not what I would call awesome, particularly on a prem tank that went from plain OP to merely good. Which suggests a degree of PEBKAC.

Oh, I understand those systems. I’ve studied them. I know them well, and that’s why I feel qualified to say they’re not what they should be. Feel free to continue to think otherwise, if you like.

If you’ve gotten to the point where you as a player are not really getting any better, then it’s just a matter of time till you agree with me. When your skill plateau’s in this game, only the core gameplay remains. Once that happens, you’ll eventually get tired of trying to stack the odds in your favor every battle only to have it shoved back in your face about half the time. You’ll get tired of winning being dependent on carrying almost every game.

That is my warning, anyway. Not that I *want* you to experience that, but rather I don’t see an alternative with the way the game is designed.

As for stats, there are some things you should know:
* 160 battles is statistically insignificant. I have a 64% WR in my T82 over 177 games, and that tank is ready to explode as soon as the countdown starts.
* You seem to correlate # of battles with higher WR. That is incorrect. The greater the number of battles, the more accurate the WR to the actual performance. Nothing more, nothing less.
* I am really not a unicum and never claimed to be. I am WAY too anti-establishment in temperament, never played clan wars and almost never go seal clubbing.
* You seem to be entertaining every single explanation of my statistics other than the most likely, the most obvious and the most simple: I really am a good player. I don’t know why you continue to be singularly beef-headed about this, but it just makes you look dumb. It doesn’t make me look bad.

If a good to great player is fed up with WoT, what is WoT doing badly? As soon as you ask the right question, the answers become apparent. If you’re not ready to ask the right question, however, the answers are not ready to become apparent.
