Okay guys, first things first: Your pain is my pain. For about 1 month despite my low rank I had hornet mk3 and freeze mk3 and was playing with the big guys, giving them a run for their money. I had spend roughly 60 Euros to get to that point, had the fun of a lifetime and didn't gave a damn about crystalls or experience points any more, because I already had everything I ever wished for. From that point of view it makes a lot of sense for the Tanki Online Developers to change all that and get more money from me. But that is not going to happen. Reading this forum topic I understand that not just close combat pilots like myself are screwed, but also all you snipers, twin barrage guys, thunderers and isida tricksters. Basically _everyone_ is screwed, so essentially _nobody_ is screwed. Because we are playing this game with each other and against each other, and as long as we participate in games with roughly +/- 3 ranks, not much is going to change. So I sincierly hope that you won't leave the game. Also please don't go crazy and use all your crystalls to level up. Just remain on your current level and keep playing. Else who would be there for me to massacre when I feel like it? My only complaint is that I once had the fastest tank and now I don't and I'm not going to for a long time. That really hurts like a stab in the heart.
