And that is why the WG marketing team are so good.    They know this stuff will sell.

I don't mind loot ... or gambling-like system in FREE-TO-PLAY game, completely acceptable.

it's all come down to ability of people to control themselves.

I heard that a lot of those people failed at this - that's why they need a loan (by its literal meaning) to play a game.

I know when someone wants specific captain but RNG says no

I still remember first day I bought a big package one after Azur Lane came on first day 

I cant remember how was a first time sale one commander ir make it a package and buy all

Date time should be the end of June last year

Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself,the Yanks are in a bigger fuss over this than the ASIA forums! :

Looks like WG may need to offer Captains separate if they want to make any money out this.

I will bet my left one that all the whinging is so insignificant compared to the sales it will not change.

And lets face it.   The NA forums would be as dead as ours if they weren't complaining about something over there

they fuss at everything. They believe that cry louder will give them fi**ing sensation, meanwhile some of them will still buy it secretly.

[PGM991]

if they change whole ship model into character model running/shooting on water... they might get a load of money from me but just small .png file in port menu???    meh....

 

 

 

I don't have time to play WoWs lately, 

currently frenzy farm Azur lane like crazy for bel-chan.... child version of Belfast

who wouldn't want to pat her head!!

[Ryuuoh_DeltaPlus]

I am speculating that they will be selling individual captains by the end of May.

The store and sneaky cost increase's, not to mention the  dubious reduction for things like camo you can sell for credits from inventory  hello Mosaic!..

 

The steady price increase in ever single little thing, even as the player base grows, becomes more infested with lemmings... 

 

This game is becoming notorious as Fortnite for its pricing and aggressive price trend upwards, stop it!  Bad War gaming Bad Bad!

 

Here's a quote from a random in chat, for 12500 doubloons = whole semester in school fee's.

Because of the nation they;re born in they are destined to be a free to play player...due to financial structures of their home nation..

 

You know wouldn't it be better to have more sales at a lower price point... make it up on volume and have a happier fan paler base who look forward to and want to spend... instead of feeling increasingly price gouged.

 

Im ok i can afford things easier than other less fortunates, but that doesn't mean i will pay if i feel im being ripped off or price gouged...and its a filthy a trend that keeps increasing!

How about NOT NEWS 18:22 mins of developer bulletins? the costs of that production and the watch factor are almost the length of a full 20 min game...

What if the uptake of people willing to watch a full dev update video of such length, which adds nothing to game play, its only about the games developement  is such a small percent.. say like form CV capt levels..

That the Dev marathons ares actually pretty irrelevant and as much as the devs like to think what they do matters, sadly its likely misplaced, what they do to the actual game play matters....how they do it isn't to the concern to the vast majority. Sure the trihard die hard will argue they find it interesting ... but these Developers videos  lengthy out put for no return for majority of the players.. is money wasted.

What is said could just as easily be released in patch notes.   and the viewers who will sit there and watch 18:22 of?? thats gong to help them how has to be marginal at best. and that the money can be saved!

 

which brings us back to this threads content....

 

These latest round of loot crates you're sellng WG, thats  are over priced. charging 1250 dubs to get a ship which is really early access for one month... great scam that one..

Was it a test of how stupid the player base is?

 

The deliberately well tested over so long release to get your CV player base up, Which is well known to be an issue causing concern with WG .. oh i know lets release them OP and get collateral $ales

apart from a few bugs such as the getting hit on edge of the aiming circle, pretty sure everything else was known about CV's and the massive impact of that release was well known to WG.

The fall out and kick back from the player base was not unexpected in the slightest, its all factored into the profit and loss of how many leave vs how many sign up...

other to say how long will the players put up with it before quitting the title. 

Already seeing comments in regular chat, "anyone want an account".. can X that exponentially by players who just dont bother at all anymore.

 

Stop being so greedy,

I can take a 4 hour plane flight to another country with food included, for the price of one of youre recent packages that was on sale...

At that same packages full price, I  could get a return ticket! 

Thats a total of 8 hours flying time with meals. to visit relatives and get me back home...

1 ship can cost as much as a Tripple A new game release... 1 SHIP!

where is the balance in your pricing structure? 

where is the value in your product and your pricing point, where you over price things so much that the sales are fewer, so what you make the noob mistake and to meet profit forecast you make things even more expensive.. ?

Thus making your client base feel ripped off and taken advantage of...then you got big troubles lack of faith in brand or gaming title at all.

These players are less likely to tell their friend base to join this title because they see your pricing structure as price gouging.

Instead of more sales and happier client base telling more people and it exponential..in fact they will look foreword to supporting and buying the next loot crate scam, as long as theyre not feeling abused already...

Volume sales, happier client base, more refferals, more players more sales at lower price point actually = more profit...

 

Now you can believe hype that as a Rec game satisfaction that at WG request players upvoted WoWs as a good game and get good standings..vs other titles..

Indeed some other ahem less worthy titles might even ensure at that time that the player base is happier with give aways and other offers to ensure that their standings in such rankings are elevated.

 

Rest assured, sitting in chat and watching whats being said inbetween games or while in divisions waiting, I've noticed a steadily growing discontent amongst your player base and thats increasing rapidly..

 

Now this loot crates for AL... Perhaps ive been less fortunate than some and more fortunate than others. having 12+1 dupe.

I open all 3 containers every day.

At one stage 1 was 5/11

Another time i opened two containers at once, one after the other since there wasnt a open all containers option.. thinking it might break my drought.

Nope 

Fail

Double nothings..

 

I dont care about the free stuff you want to give away.

Yes i know it costs you, even free stuffs cost.

I know its to attract new players...

more players more free stuff to give away, more costs in a profit and loss type scenario.

I dont want to pay for them.

Why should I?

I didnt get any free starting packages. like steam etc or others advertised..

And 

Your costs keep going up!

 

Dont get me wrong I'll happily support a title with the odd loot crate purchase and premium bread and butter $ time, i'm far from teh Mr negative as it may appear on paper and I do enjoy the games (despite being T8 vs mostly T10 to often)

But im not going to support you with sneaky unannounced reductions in items for sale from inventory,  

For increasing costs such as Type 5 camo unnanounced. (in recent past)

And

The ever increasing costs for basic support and what can only seem to be ridiculous pricing.

In fact when i noted the package deal on sale, which = the same as a 4 hour flight with meals i did do a lol irl in disgust was so ridiculous.

 

Yes i can afford your products, will I when feel so price gouged..and the trend is increasing including more costly loot crates..

 

Like F i will support anything that i think is ripping off anyone and especially when that pricing trend is only on the steady  increase!.

 

Have a nice day o7.

[Lowyat]

it's free to play. the shareholders are probably pushing hard into wargamblng since whales exist for a reason. and the current pricing is the unfortunate result.
