You know it's bad when both QuickyBaby and Skil are both saying this is going to ruin the game.

[justindesnoyers]

Most players over last few years: "WG is slowly killing this game"

WG: "hold my beer"

[andreambuter]

I left the game 6+ years ago but I've kept watching QB regularly. Man, I can't imagine how painful it is for him to watch this happen to his game and have no ability to stop it...

[jmmarksman]

I too inherited my ELC commander from my father who inherited it from his grandfather and so on. It is our family’s prized heirloom, a truly generational grind.

[famzino]

The way I see it, wargaming isn't playing the long term game. They have lost care for the game and want to make as much profit before the game crashes and burns.

[raulemanuel]

Respect to you qb for not only showing us what the problems are, but also trying to solve them. You guys realize that not a lot of people do that. Other would simply complain and that would be it. Thank you QB

[danielfeinour]

I have been playing this game for about 10 years. This update just breaks my heart. I agree with you QB, and I want to say "thank you" for the amazing content, care for ALL players, and devotion to the game. Two good friends of mine, one coworker and one of my roommates from college, both started WoT within the last 8 months or so. With all of these changes, their interest is fading fast, and it makes me so angry to see WG's BS tactics. Being competitive in the game never phased me much, because it was all about the fun and thrills of what you could do with the vehicles that attracted me. Now that the WoT Plus and Crew 2.0 (definitely the bigger elephant in the room) are going into the game... it will just kill the fun. As it stands now, the game is at least workable, to an extent. However, with Update 1.20.1, I'm beginning to question that more and more. What fun is there in a game when a Badger, a Bourrasque, etc., is beating the daylights out of you, and you can't do anything about it due to the new system?

[DaveJLock]

Thank You QB for laying it all out for us, you put a lot of work into this and it is appreciated. It is rather a depressing view into the future of the game. For me it feels like that after 10 years of playing WOT it seems that WG want us to just start all over again, and forget the last decade. Yes, I can see a lot of us are going to dust off their old E25's and take them out for a spin. However, the grind that now seems necessary for "ordinary" tanks and crews to be competitive will probably be too much for newer players and they are likely to drift away.

[aymandjeffal]

i laughed so hard when QB started calculating how much money and years it will take to reach max crew 🤣🤣

[arnepoulsen]

it's not just the time and money, suddenly it will becomes so technical that many will struggle to understand where on the battlefield you have to be and how to set up your tank 100%.

[veselindimov]

Thank you, QB for giving reasonable and in-depth analysis of this monstrosity and also providing us with the feedback form's link! Amazing video! Keep being as critical and fair, as you are!

[randymoran]

Your analysis is much appreciated. As an IT professional, you are spot on in identifying that WG has NOT done sufficient design work to consider all those crucial items you've painstakingly pointed out... offering suggestions is also excellent work -- you not only identify the problems, but offer constructive solutions. Resetting the base XP starting point and then doubling would certainly be attractive for new players as well as vets -- everyone get's equal benefit. The "multi-role" problem -- elegant simple solution as you pointed out... I hope they are listening. It was unfortunate that the survey form did not allow for free form comments.

[BastiaanvandeWerk]

After 9 years or so….I’m leaving the game for good. Thanks QB for all the effort you put into the community.

[Kanthannic]

Thank you QB. You aren't going to read this but still, thank you. I grew up with wot, this was my first proper video game and I have been watching you since I was a freshman in middle school. This game shaped my life, and I literally grew up watching you :)

Now I am 21 in university, I am busy enough as it is for gaming in general. I used to rage hard at weegee for their brain dead decisions. I complained in comments and complained with other wot playing friends. Now I no longer write rants in comments, and my friends no longer play wot. My feeling for wot is best described as "indifference". I am writing this comment to thank you QB, for all the effort you have put into entertaining so many people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[GodOfTheBuild]

I admire your desire to do videos like that. I can see the amount of time and thoughts behind this video. I was a sweaty nerd in WOT for 9 years, but I've given up in 2021. All the changes and the requirements now are just impossible to achieve without paying WG a solid amount of money. I still hope that one day, they realise and make the game enjoyable again, because I did not have fun in the game for years. If someone can make a pressure and force them to changes, its people like you and the great community behind contributors. Thank you for all the work that you have done over the years.

[mvbmatheloesungen]

This reminds me of World of Warships. I was an enthusiastic alpha tester, but then I was totally frustrated by the constant changes in the captain skills, among other things, you just want to play but then you were confronted with thousands of possibilities and don't make it at all to do everything right. Of course, this later means a not inconsiderable amount of money to make corrections later on. Since the game didn't deliver what I had hoped it would, I rarely play it anymore.

[uksupuksu]

I think now would be the right time for all the content creators to come together against this update.

[rkanava]

Everyone must like this video. This has to go viral for WG to nerf crew 2.0 changes.

[Leszczysław_Warchlaczek]

I am 11 years in the game. I completely understand what he is telling us, completely agree with every single of his words, and fully support QB’s will and efforts to keep the game sane. He knows more about how game works, than its developers.
