So the crystals you get will be determined by the amount of work you do? I have tears in my eyes, I am so proud of you guys in Tanki ;) Maybe we should have a collection for all the beggars who have forgotten how to shoot from all their camping. lol :D

Ok I see what you are saying, I guess if you getting that many free then it is a good way to convert free drugs into gems. Still ticks me off sometimes though lol

If you got something you want to say than you are right to start it, ignore tweedle dee and tweedle dum with their clapping. I'm not sure if you mean tanki didn't enforce the rules or maybe there are new tactics being used which is not technically cheating but still manipulates the games outcome unfairly? In my own personal experience, when cheating is captured properly with pics/ video they have always issued a punishment of some sort. I moan about some of what tanki does but credit where credit is due, i cant complain about them in this area, usually prompt and justice done.

I guess things are just different in other Countries. Multiple sales don't tend to happen in my country when business is booming and customer numbers higher than ever. If something is free there will always be people to use it, be interesting to see a profit margin report. No numbers, just percentages on previous years.

yeah it is a pain when people use so many supplies for the chance of winning crumbs. That's just life though, some people can afford to spend a lot and some can't. I guess hollow victories don't do it for me personally, I like to win because I am just that good, not because I could out spend my opponent. Plus most games I have played recently the payout is small enough, 500-1000 max so drugs rarely make economic sense. if you were just to use each supply twice in a whole battle, that's 700 gems so you would want to be finishing in top 2 to make it worth your while in most battles.

Playing against teams with a mammoth sitting on flag and everyone else is an isida. It's killing some maps that used to be great. True, we could all do the same but then it's not a game i'd be bothered with. I guess it be like playing soccer match and opposing teams just have a bunch of sumo wrestlers standing across the goals - boring!!

Lots of things but currently it is that out of all the things Tanki could be improving they are focusing their attention on Isida and Rail gun. I have never heard anyone say I wish my rail gun didn't look like a laser or my nano bots don't look right on isida yet that's what they are working on :rolleyes:

The more you talk the more Tanki's operation starts to sound like gambling. It all sounds like a game of chance now rather then straight forward purchases. The item you paid for may or may not change, the odds can be changed every moment. Do they have a gaming license? (gambling license)

You are correct, money that has been foolishly handed over is gone. I guess it is more about ensuring other people do not make the same mistake and leave themselves open to unscrupulous practices. It is foolish to expect people like yourself to understand the difference between running the show and receiving what you paid for. It was a lesson and as I said already, I won't be making the same mistake again.

2-3-4 is not really what a lot of people are annoyed about, it is being led to believe you are buying one thing and ending up with another. Maybe if people like yourself could comprehend that they wouldn't have to say it for the second, third uhm whatever time. Interesting post, so Tanki is like a charity then, yes? Really I think you should have entered on the last line that it is people who have spent money on Tanki who are providing those things!! The same people Tanki have slapped in the face by reducing their paid for items effectiveness. Do you understand yet?

Sniff sniff, I smell somebody who has an avatar -_- I may leave,I may not, but I am finished spending money and so are any of my friends that I have spoken to. Maybe when it moves to unity it will become a gardening game and instead of drugs we'll all get free flower seeds and instead of turrets we'll get watering cans. Woo Hoo role on unity. It could happen, they don't seem to give a crap.

and then what? come on dude, stop leaving me hanging

and then what do i do? :rolleyes:

#1: Obviously it is a game but some people expect a little bit of integrity when money is changing hands. #2: Sometimes it comes down to principle jim, If you do ever pay for something and feel that you have not received what you paid for, then you should complain. I think they know it is their problem, hence they are complaining ;) #3: Lot of people throwing the word "skill" around lately, personally I haven't seen it, I have seen mammoths with twins sitting on flag surrounded by a bunch of isidas. Maybe that constitutes skill, I honestly don't know anymore. But I find this very coincidental "50% off CC’s and prepaids, and 50% off Mammoth, Isida & paints" , or maybe not. -_- #4: Eveybody has a right to complain, if there is something you don't like then you should complain. I bet you're the type of person jim who thinks patriotism is doing whatever your government tell you. Being a good boy and bending over when told. :o Isn't it nice that the topic was started and people can give their views, both sides of the argument,not just a topic saying everything is wonderful for fear of being called pitiful and pathetic? Imagine if all the non paying people had been denied the chance to complain about drugs? Then there would have been no changes and this topic would not exist. You can't only have discussions on what "you" wan't Jim. I heard before average age of people on here is around 14 years old, just a couple of hundred $$$ can be a lot of money when you're 14. :D :ph34r: Vive la Resistance!! :ph34r: :P :tank:

I’m conflicted a little, I support the idea of not allowing druggers to just plough through non-druggers but I also agree that if people purchased drugs before this change then they were mis-sold. People can point to EULA all they like as a legal justification but it is morally repugnant. Why have drugs? Why buy drugs? They were sold with the full knowledge that they would give the player an advantage, an advantage that Tanki staff knew was going to be curtailed. It was deception. You can dress it up in EULA jewellery all you like but it was still deception. The game dynamic is now different and people may have invested in very different hulls and turrets if they had known that such a change was coming. I wonder how tanki is going to combat the complainers who now see upgrades and micro upgrades as being unfair and unbeatable if a crew of highly upgraded people jump into their battle and dominate them. It is like the rebalance a while ago, based on the hulls and turrets performance people made purchases to get their desired tank only for tanki to come along and castrate them. What you paid for is not what you ended up with. It’s like buying a television and getting notified tomorrow that it will now be a toaster. I’m not a big fan of drugs, I think they took away from team work, I feel personally that the team play has greatly increased and welcome it. I want to upgrade my hulls and turrets but wont be spending any money to do so, who knows what changes the move to unity will bring and my money will be down the sink. I just want to be able to watch my tv and not end up making toast. I guess I just don’t trust Tanki to honour what I pay for anymore. No I'm pretty sure that it's all in the EULA, that's the thing everyone just clicks when starting and never read because no one has spent money at that point. Then over time you forget about it when you whip out the credit card, it's only when things get crap you realise you just got owned. I think we basically agreed that they can do what they like when they like.If you bought drugs and didn't get them then you would be covered by EU law but as it stands you paid for the drugs and you got them. 7.
