“All this have a legal backround and goes to a thing that we are obliged by USA and EU legislation to provide monetary payment to Volunteers. ”

This is such horse shit.

Volunteers do not have to be paid in the US. This is what “volunteering” means. I have volunteered many, many hours to local organizations and have never seen a cent for it and never expected to..

How would being on supertest be ANY different, from a “volunteering” standpoint, than being in the alpha or beta tests or the test server? You’re still volunteering your time to test an unfinished product..

If I am a Russian-speaker, and I live outside of the EU and US (but not in the RU cluster) – can I become a supertester if I open an account on the RU cluster an play 1000 battles?

That’s been my experience also. But I’ve never personally cared for WT’s flight model. It almost seems too “jerky” and overly responsive for my taste (I don’t mind having to fight the plane to get it to do what I want as much as others do apparently)

Garbad? That would be more truth than the WoT managers could take, presented in a way they could take even less …

Well, they probably could afford German super testers on a “minijob” base (450€ / month max) then. No tax declaration needed for these jobs. :P

Ofc, 450€ / month is the maximum, they could also just send some chocolate (or grant in-game gold).

Still… YOU CAN NOT TRADE WHAT YOU GET OUT OF THE “TRANSACTION” thus it has 0 value in the global economy.

I meant your remark that Belorussia is the exact same as Russia.

I’d love to know which law it is that requires wargaming to pay supertesters that somehow doesn’t apply to Blizzards and other corporations’ beta tests.

Liars. Bloody fucking liars, the whole lot of em.

>The companies now require the volunteers fill out W2′s and the game companies report those compensation goods in dollar value equivalents to the federal and state tax agencies.

Not to mention, there’s no way their compensation would come anywhere near minimum wage.
