Tanki Online, I'm sure I speak for more than just myself when I say "thank you" for listening to the players. I mean that honestly and truely. However, i believe this is simply a sham to push Tanki into becoming a "freemium" game or a "pay-to-win." Because of this, this will push me to play the game less and less, and, because of that, i will be less likely to spend any money on the game. for a long time, i have been considering buying crystals, but, with this update coming out, i fear tanki will stop being fun and because of that, i won't buy crystals for fear of losing interest in the game and wasting money. My recommendation to make everyone happy; only use this in pro-battles. That way, those who are in it simply for the same and do not care about crystals can pay their 500, and not have to do with the people they complain about so much. Then, the rest of the battles, that are not pro-battles you can have those boxes that increase with the battle fund. For the day or two it was out, it was really fun, and i never noticed a single player simply go after the boxes, they came second to the battle. My final, closing statement; this lack of crystal boxes is something for the pro-battles ONLY, and not something for the general populous. Thank you for reading this and thank you for making an amazing game.

to me, so far, it's a pretty bad idea. if you've been fighting hard all game, but a the last second are forced to leave, you get nothing, because all of the crystals you would've gotten are in the battle fund you can't get any gain from it. i believe that having the battle funds in the game made getting crystals more fun and a lot easier than it is now. please put them back.
