Can our voices really be heard by the ears of the greedy, whose mouth only repeats "We can only move forward" and "It's YOUR choice to play the game" ? I am not doubting the credibility of this post, but this shameful reaction, or lack thereof, is what we really have to consider. Will they listen and address the problem at hand or will they revert to their machine-like repetition and the EULA for help? It is shameful what they are doing to this beautiful game, turning it into a mechanism fed by greed and pride. What can the developers do? What can we do?

You can just smell the voter fraud...

In my opinion the changes to the fund system are less about sharing the fund with tankmen "more equally," and more about forcing the player to buy because he or she simply can't earn enough crystals for the next upgrade. It's a pure evil tactic...taking away a nice chunk of income from fair players. Making the battlefield less diverse and full of hard buyers/druggers. Of course I want the old system back, but I don't think it will ever happen, as long as the suicidal "keep moving forward" mindset is still in play.

Proves my point. If this update was about being non-buyer friendly, as Semyon said it was, then there shouldn't have to be any gamble-and-lose situation. You'd end up paying far more than what you would if the prices were 10x and a sure thing. IMHO that's what ruins this update for me, along with the fact that you can't even use what you paid for for several hours or days, which is sad.

Price is of little concern when what matters most is the QUALITY of the update you're bringing out, as well as the response of the players. Besides, you'd probably end up spending waaaaay more through gambling + wishful thinking, especially with the higher micro-upgrades. Remember that luck can be a very cruel mistress, especially in this scenario.

Nice update and all, but I'd rather pay a little more crystals for a sure chance of getting the micro-upgrade. I hate gambling. I really do. I lost my grandfather to gambling. Please don't bring that to Tanki, I'm begging you. There's way too much to lose. Just a simple push of a button, "Are you sure you want to upgrade <SMOKY DAMAGE> for n crystals?" and confirmation and that's it. I would hate to see a "sorry but due to integrated gamble feature, you get 0 of what you paid for." I would hate that!!!
