Hello everyone,
WG ASIA released a “social mod“, which allows you to share your battle results and player statistics over Facebook.
I haven’t seen this posted for EU portal and I have no idea whether the ASIA mod works for the EU or US client, but feel free to try it out. I am really not that keen on sharing FB details with Wargaming (I suspect this is the reason behind this mod, some sort of social network survey) – the last part of the article actually made me somewhat chuckle.
Note: The WG Social mod was commissioned by Wargaming and conforms to generally accepted safety standards. Wargaming ensures that the WG Social mod does not store user data and only sends them to the social network authenticated by the user. The company cannot guarantee that other modifications that are not certified by Wargaming are safe. All data and processes of the mod will not be used illegally.
Damn, I sure am glad to read that! Because telling us that nothing will be used illegally will TOTALLY prevent anyone from using it illegally.
Why would I want to share my WoT gaming experience if most of my FB friends aren’t even gamers? O.o
Exactly.
It was announced on the NA server here

To show your addiction to WoT?
my addiction to wot is proudly shared with my bank account manager every month.
Because some people have FB Friends who are gamers.
*tips fedora*
But what if I dont have FB and friends?
Friends? you cant be a true gamer and have friends
Define “true gamer”.
As I am tanker.
I usually just Prt Sc it, Then upload the pic on FB
Screenshot it – print it – scan it – upload it – and then link it.
Print out – frame it – hang it on wall
Print it – hang it – nail it – photo it – post it in social network.
post it in social network then use it to pickup chicks!
Print it, take a photo of it, print photo and then send it trough mail
WoT Blitz has that already. I can imagine that there are certian clans who have private facebook groups to keep in touch, sharing there directly from the game would be quite okay i guess.
And thats how , my friends , facebook makes money .
BY SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFO
there is a thing called wotreplays.com …
but well now everything has to be on facebook -.-
wow…someone actually drives obj 430!!!! theres a reason to facebook it in itself!! i never see these and still need it for master tanker!
destroyed two of them in one battle with my T-54 once lol :D
People who drive it are just curious if this contraption can replace the tank.
Would be great if there is option to post it in some page (e.g. clan facebook page) not on general time line.
US has had this mod for about as week already.
Yep:

This is about as useful as a share button for a porn site :/
Its hard to find good one, you know :D
My ex-classmates share funny/weird porn in our private fb group, so it’s even more useless.
Actually I suspect WG simply wants to increase how many ppl are playing WoT and hope that allowing players basically to advertise the game on Facebook for them will help.
Wot players need a social network to troll each other not “like” and fucking friend. Kiss-my-arse-book is more like it. WG see social media as a feedback mechanism to lock in players. Ask yourself if you were running WG what would you do to make all the self absorbed youffs play (and even sometimes pay) more.
Just waiting for the twitter mod, it automatically tweets the battle results for you… :P
I personally use the Duxter site for posting up all my battle results…and… of course WG doesn’t know about it :-(
FUCK. NO.
EU has it now, too: http://worldoftanks.eu/de/news/pc-browser/46/wg-social-mod/
Oh, i got an Ace tank in my tanks. I better publish it on my FB page where none of my friends will know what the fuck does that even mean.
google+? myspace? anyone? so sad…
Somethink like direct post to duxter would be nice but FB, no thx
WT added it 2 years ago
this might work, since SEA has a HUUUGE amount of those social media-huggin peeps
(blame overpopulation)
Unless the mod allows me to post specifically to the WoT groups I am part of, I will not use it. If they add Twitter to it I still won’t use it.
Fuck it I will just not use it.
