"A balanced game is a state of fairness and strategic variety where no single strategy, character, or item dominates, ensuring that all options are viable and victory depends on skill rather than overpowered choices. It maintains an equilibrium between player challenge and skill, preventing frustration while allowing for diverse" What you said was definitely one of the worst things that has been said to defend the game state. Players don't "cry" because they don't take golds, they "cry" because of hoppers existinece which is two different things that you had them mixed up. April fools and golds events exist way before Hopper appered late 2020 and not every player was able to farm and take golds just like now, but suprisingly such "crying" was not there before. A bronze ranked player will lose becuase of his poor skills, therefore he won't blame the game. However, if that same bronze player lost becuase of unfair matchups, he will rightfully so blame the game for his lose. Forcing an option to take golds is the opposite of balance. Players don't mind not taking golds, I don't think we will ever see a player criticize by saying: the event is bad because I did not take x number of golds.

Yeah it's been planned for years. The only improvement they made so far is that when playing on client, the ratings page opens in a window inside the game, as opposed to in a browser. Hardly an improvement, tbh.

Exactly, that ratings website deserves a huge visual update or shutting it down. It's amusing how it is ignored and being outdated when we compare it to the forum website or wiki page and other Tanki Online-related websites. I've heard it will be moved as a feature in-game or something... hold on, need to check it. Yeah... it's in Development plans under Work In Progress / Planned https://en.tankiwiki.com/Development_Plans . Yeah, rework players profiles & achievement rewards in-game. And that's a good question how long it will take. Yeah. I also can't understand it, no nerfs of Excelsiors (if that gonna happen in next 2-3 years), Excaliburs, Tornado, Stellerator and any balance changes at all. But ofc players gonna complain how they ruined they favourite turret/hull, how it's unplayable, bad, poop etc. if that happen. Maybe that's why. Still that's not an excuse to not do them.

Smoky + Twins ahh combination Even the icons of augments are big copy and paste from Smoky and I don't mean those status effect ones, Adrenalines, Excelsiors and Phoenixes, cause they are the same for turrets and hulls . Won't be suprised they work the same as Smoky ones.  The originality of this game is fading more and more.
