World of Tanks (WoT) is a massively multiplayer online game developed by the company Wargaming, featuring mid-20th century (1930s–1960s) era combat vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle.

What do you think about all that has been said? Can the game be saved? How? 👀

[YasarAktepe]

I don't feel like playing Wot anymore, I come home from work, I enter the game to relieve stress, but I get more stressed and turn it off... The constant arrival of new events has also turned me off from the game. Because I don't want to spend time on these, but the game forces you to do this...

In Belgium. It's easy for us. Loot boxes are forbidden; It's gambling.

When the forum was eliminated, that was the ultimate warning that WoT no longer gave a damn about players and wanted all of us to know it. They removed the only source of feedback that they could not completely control, although they tried all kinds of censoring. When a company shuts down their customer complaint desk, it's over.

Playing WT and watching videos about WoT feels like sitting in a burning house and looking in the window how neighbour one burns too

"Look at all these maps!"
World of Warships Players: "You guys have more than 6 maps?"

[difgy]

1:46 Haha, it is so funny because with the BZ176, Borasque and Skoda t56 in the game, Defender and Skorpion seem like completely balanced tanks. Little did we know back then that Defender was just a beginning.

Even as a War Thunder player, it really makes me sad to see how a company could give less of a shit about its players. I know Gaijin has had their fair share of issues with War Thunder, however they actually are now making at least some effort to engage with the community to fix their game. This just seems like blatant neglect and cash farming. I wanted to try WoT, and never got around to it, but what's happening now is just the nail in the coffin, and I have no interest in trying it out now.

I'm a World of Tanks player on the SA server (South America), more specifically from Brazil, and I'll tell you one thing about the SA server; It's a miracle that it's still working, because it's rare for it to beat more than 2000 players online, very rare indeed! Not to mention that a few months ago they completely closed the Brazilian service's social networks (You tube, Twitter, Instagram), leaving only Discord. This was a situation that discouraged players in the community on behalf of Server SA. pelk have already abandoned them almost completely in South America, they just need to announce the closure of the SA server.

Remember when WG came out with Topography mode for players to learn the maps and then never completed it for the other 27 maps?

As a former EU employee and quiet decent player who started the journey back in 2013, I could confidently say that everything has been changed somewhere around 2015. We had many employees (not just testers but product specialists, esport managers, etc.) drafted from player base back in those days and we all knew the direction of WG was extremely frustrating.

The major change was done to hierarchy of WG departments. Before 2016 (or late 2015), WoT was ruled by Devs Team. Dunno why or what happened, but the executive board had couple changes and after that finance department moved up to the top. After these changes, everything was being decided by those finance guys. The introduction of OP Premium Tanks was the first impact.

F.Department were trying to do their best to cut the expenses and to increase the revenue. Well, they did a excellent job in a short period of time and the board was happy.

As game enthusiasts and entry or mid-level employees, we warned them. The game has the potential to be eternal and there are other ways to generate more money such as cosmetics, events, merchandise, etc.

Now, in 2024 we all know where we are. I quit my job years ago, played WoT for 2 more years and I could not stand the unfair play anymore: pre.ammo spam, op. pre.tanks, etc.

[Mehmehmeeeeeeh]

my 200 +vehicles were stolen, and WOT did not want to know, have not played it since

The problem is that game makers think they know best, they don't listen to the players. Their business models are all the same, introduce paid content, then nurf removing any advantage. Time is also important why waste it on marginal gains and then get nurfed. Games like this could be great but will surcomb to groundbreaking and exciting titles in the future and from developers that work with their customer base not think they no better.

Looking at your favorite game being closer to death day by day after you played it for the last 11 years, is one of the most painful things. It feels like your best friend started taking drugs and you see him getting destroyed without being able to do something

[piotr]

There is literally no franchise nor product, that cannot be run into the ground by greedy, short-sighted suits with too much power.

2017: SirFoch Vs Wargaming
2024: Kajzoo vs Activision Blizz i mean Warzard

[lilpumpkin]

Its crazy how most problems would be solvable if they just would put tier 8 premium tanks in a seperate queue, without the non premiums in it

[Misimpa]

Biggest issue is 0-15 and 15-0 in 2 or 3 minutes

[TANKSBROTV]

The biggest problem of the game is that the management and people who have to say something in the company are not playing the game. Is just a money-printing machine for them.

[kingderpington]

Honestly I want to go back to when they had just changed the monetization of shells, when high pen shells were changed from costing gold to silver. Even though you had way fewer features of the minimap, and the matchmaker wasnt the best, it was at least a good game that didnt feel unplayable against a bunch of op premiums.
