Posting for my man Silentstalker. I grew up with your blog, would always lurk on it – during breaks, at night; typing ftr was muscle memory. So thank you for writing these posts, from the old ftr through this one, they’ve been a pleasure to read. Wish you all the best!

I think most players take the game too seriously and that’s why thet end up tired of it, sure I think it’s normal to desire the game to improve and there are some things that make me “upset” about the game (imbalance, power creeping, line/tree planning specially the US tech tree, content, some of te mechanics, etc…) but for me it’s better to focus on the little things we find enjoyable in the game
I’m pretty sure that even those who have stopped playing WoT years ago had more than one tank they honestly enjoyed playing with and I wonder, isn’t it enough when you find something that suits you and you simply go back to it when the game frustate you? I think it is and luckily there’s a large number of tanks in the game and I’m sure everyone can find the one right for them

What made you spend your bucks?
I started playing WoT this Christmas after I took a 1 year brake and I have to admit that I spend some money for tonks that where availiable in the calendar but not for those decorations.
I have my four crews and thats all I need because none of the swedish vehicles have more than that.
I started WoT in open beta and stopped at the end of 2015 because the game sucked hard.
I played AW a lot but it became pretty boring after I had a tier X tonk. WoT still has that potential for addiction.

As always these kind of article is something never to be seen anywhere else who claimed to be FTR 2.0. Very nice indeed.

Ooooh, love me some Skyrim! Just wrapping up a playthrough as a dual-axe warrior, I’m considering trying out an archer. Are you using any archery or perk mods? Also, how do you handle close-range boss fights?

P.S. I feel obligated to say something on topic. Do you have any opinion on WoT’s decision to add Tier X lights? Is that enough to consider the game at least has a feeble heartbeat?

It’s not bitter sir it’s just the truth, may I ask how long have you known WoT? I played the game pretty much since the opening of WoT NA server, never missed a test server, or sandbox server etc…, If you trace the lineage of the game and how it developed over the course of 6 years or even more you wouldn’t think of this article as bitter as much as it is the truth

I definitely agree that WoT has perfected the art of getting people to part with actual currency to play their free game. I hadn’t put a dime into it since early 2012, surviving off of gold contests and playing lower tier tanks to make credits to occasionally play a tier IX or X one without a premium account.

But that god damn Christmas Tree and Holiday Tank ornament box bullshit they did over the past few months…I mean, I have no idea how they figured out how to con normally immune people who never bought a hard currency premium tank into paying money for RANDOM BOXES OF HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS…just so they could get a full swedish female crew…but it worked. I forked over $17 after failing to find two tier 5 ornaments to finish the set that I had worked on every few days without otherwise spending a dime. It was the perfect con. Get sooooo close that it will only take a few bucks to finish and you feel like your time would have otherwise been wasted. I tip my hat to their monetization department.

Oh, I am in a very melancholic mood these couple of days. Also got sort of writer’s block, hope to break it tomorrow with the kind help of Rush, Nescafé and Johnny Walker :)
