Hostility Towards [-]

[Happy_Parida]

Why are people so hostile towards rental ships in Ranked? Come on guys this needs to stop. They're also people wanting to have a good time in-game and not everybody has the credits to buy and keep a Tier-X ship. A guy on youtube said that the addition of rental ships will ruin everybody else's time. He advocated against rental ships saying that lower tier players don't belong in ranked but he never said anything about the high purchase costs and the insanely high service cost. Why would he? He has all the ships in WOWS. He gets doubloons and ships from WG like it's candy. Even if you deal 75k dmg you have a small chance of actually gaining some credits. He and many who have premium time/ships never have to worry about credits but not everyone has premium time or ship. People now don't even wait for the game to start. As soon as they spawn, they check the team lineups and start cursing at the rental ships in their team. Come on dude, he just spawned, he hasn't even fired a single shot. How could you say that he is bad? I am not saying that all players in Rental ships are completely experienced T-X players. I myself use [Gearing] for ranked and many times players with non rental ships even battleships die within first 5 minutes of the game. I have seen players with full HP ramming players with 1k HP and they weren't even using rental ships. They were "experienced" Tier X players. I often come in top 3 players but sometimes you are just unlucky and die. Please don't abuse them.

Hmm I just got 10k doubloons, might aswell just buy a Tier X ship

Jokes aside, there is this thing called self bias. If you are a tier 10 player and see a tier 8 player with a rental ship, we immediately judge the tier 8 player as less "experienced" (which is usually the case). I could be wrong about this, but I think this is the case.

Edit : you might talk about this in General discussions

I didn't have the guts to go to General discussions actually. 

Thanks for being friendly towards a player who uses rental ships 🙄

I am actually very depressed because of the things people said to me in-game. One guy spawned and said "19400 and 17400 (referring to me in my [Gearing] and a guy in non rented Shimakaze) These 2 have less than 50% Win ratio" he continued on and on.

I'm actually working on getting my winrate above 50%. I think my skill are improving.

So close but no cigar...

I don't know why but farming damage in Ranked felt very satisfying. It's like people intentionally run into torps. I got 60-75k damage in my first ranked battle if I am correct.

Do you know how to get credits BTW? I sold every single ship to play ranked.

You see, I have 10 million credits and 10k doubloons. But I'm actually free to play player, belive it or not...

The secret to earning credits is probably just to play low tiers, I have no special technique to earn more credits. But I have a video by WG, maybe it will help. Oh and yeah, don't use premium consumables if you don't have much credits

Thank you!

Sadly the issue with the rentals is that although anyone may be driving them such as a unicum who is just trying another ship all the way down to a 50 game terribad who just used a T8 premium to get the T10 ships, most teams believe they are a disadvantage right from the start.  Most rentals will be focussed by the enemy as they assume they are easy prey and if the MM give you more rentals than regulars then you then you may be at a skill disadvantage .  Most players who use the rentals cannot get the full potential out of them and the most disadvantaged are rental DDs as they cannot mount camos and most players are not running a 19 pointer in them.   

 

 

TL/DR.  Its a gamble when you have a rental in your team and ranked is a high stress environment so the hate will always be there
