o_O that sucks

Could I please get this post answered, I was the one who was quoted in this post multiple times. -_-

He changed it due to the controversy.

I agree, how can we know this is the truth, and not more lies? There's no way to know. My image of most mods is forever tarnished by all that has happened recently.

Are you kidding? You basically just proved my point about this by saying what I first have highlighted in red above. They don't reflect what you want people to see, true or not, so they've been taken down. Secondly, "We don't protest against the video," is about the biggest lie I've ever heard. Oh yeah, you don't protest it, just delete it. I'm pretty sure if you are deleting it than you are protesting it. -_- Third, "the game forum and chats are no place to discuss speculative contents". Oh really, so were not allowed to say our speculations about how bad TO is becoming and the corruption going on? Of course, of course.

Not all, not even the majority, but yes some (mostly it's the devs tho)

he was the one who said they should get money to feed their families... i was rather giving my opinion on his post, assuming it was true. ._.

1. True, but it's very unfair to those gizmos who had no SMP at all and reached it fairly 2. Looks actually, those are very important, the people who spent millions of cry for XT can tell ya that. 3. It's not a below average paint, I'd rather have 15% from all + mines than lumberjack with 30% from three and 10% from vulcan, and that's one of the best paints. 4. Big advantage, very unfair to those who spent millions of cry to get XT's through missions, when they can buy them now for the same price as normal M3s.

He actually stated the forum mods aren't part of this corruption, it's more of russian mods, admins, etc. etc. who do things that get them paid crystals. I don't know 100%, but I don't think you get paid crystals for locking threads. :) Also my ban record sucks, I haven't been banned recently but before... eh lol, they may have been stupid reasons but none the less they were bans.

TO Staff aka Mods, Admins, etc. These are the people that play the game, not semyon who's first lieutenant. They played first, they aren't 30+ years of age. I call because they are paid for stupid reasons, like banning us. That makes them want to ban us more, and have a biased opinion about it, because they know they are getting money. I'm not sure what the heck tgey means so I'll ignore that.

Not true, what says, true or not, is a DIRECT source. Not altered unless he lied.

I told you why, if you would just read the post maybe you would know.

Families? Most players who play this game are closer to <20, with some exceptions (*cough* rommeltanki), and don't have families...

Who said I believed every single one? And if your a player right now, our best bet is to sure as heck follow him. What reasons do we have to follow TO and the devs? Oh wait, Premium Accounts. -_- Thanks devs!! -.-

I would say this update has already gone bad :(

But they will just buy crystals! If they are putting Premium Accounts into the game, there is no fair way to put it. :(

If the censorship comes from higher up, and the mods are the ones doing it, it is ultimately their fault, because they are the ones doing it. They could be like arabian and leave their positions, but instead follow the devs rules and delete most anti-tanki comments. I doubt this post here will last long.

I would think you would be surprised. Tanki can just leave us behind, if they advertise Unity enough they will find plenty of new customers, especially with what they want - MONEY.

It's not just your video, but outrageous amount of posts deleted for pretty much one reason - it goes against Tanki and its Devs. Your video and many other opinions have been deleted at will by mods. It's not all about the staff, their just doing their jobs, but are those jobs really worth keeping, and why are they lying if this is true?

I've posted it three times, haven't even gotten a warning. They just remove it. ;)

My Take on Premium Accounts and 's videos, as well as our Tanki staff/helpers. Introduction Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This article is about 's video, but no, I'm not stupid and I did not embed it, so this better not be deleted. I was promised by both and @Issho_Fujitora, who are both forum mods, that my opinions about the videos and updates would not be deleted (I have evidence in PMs which apparently I'm not allowed to post here -.-). So if my post is deleted, I better get a damn (I can use this words mods, its in a username of a mod, so don't find this as a pathetic excuse to delete this) good reason on why. Sure, it criticizes mods. Sure, it criticizes devs. Sure, it criticized the game. But - what happened to freedoms in Tanki? Why can't we post our own opinions, or someone elses (hence arabian's vid) on the forums? Here's the pathetic excuse I got from I_F. He says that it was deleted because it was untrue, because it was a lie, because it portrays the staff badly, which is apparently "untrue". What kind of reason is that? If I post something saying the damage hammer deals per shot is more than railgun, does it get deleted without a single word from a mod telling me why? No warning point, no PM explaining why, nothing. Is that what we deserve? I think not. By the way Mr. I_F, who I'm sure is one of the main limiters of posting arabian's video, I have this on copy + paste, in a screenshot, and a video, so don't think this will go silently. ;) I better receive a reason why so I can 'revise' this to not break the so-called "rules". Also, I'd like to give a huge shoutout to , for having the guts to make the video he did, which you can find on the classyplebs youtube channel, which I won't give a link to because it could be a reason to delete this. -_- I'd like to thank him for revealing whatever he revealed (i won't say its the truth because its yet another reason to delete this, apparently thanks to "rules" by I_F) in his videos. Premium Accounts First - this terrible, terrible Pay2Win feature called "Premium Accounts". What are premium accounts? (For those who have isolated themselves form the Tanki world xD) Premium Accounts were announced in V-Log 63 as an account bough with real money that would give you access to a paint with 20% protections against every turret and mines, 50% more crystals gained in battles, and 50% more XP. They are an atrocious excuse for Tanki to make some cash before the release of Unity, which they apparently are in desperate need of money for. Let us all hope that this update does NOT continue into Unity, and is just a way to pick up some quick cash. This update is completely outrageous, and basically is Tanki Online's official transfer to a Pay2Win game. Pay2Win games become much less fun for those who buy little, or not at all. They make free to play and free to win games into free to play and pay to win games. Becoming Pay2Win basically ruins the game for occasional players, non-buyers, and light buyers. The previous game I played before TO, (Grepolis), started as a great, fun, free to play to win game. Most players loved it, and paying only gave you tiny things to help you grow as a player. In 2012, the game won MMO of the year. They had events for it and it was great. Shortly thereafter, the game went downhill. With the new popularity, Innogames, the developers of the game, decided it was time for them to make some more money. First it started with little things, like events that could get you small advantages in the games. Then they made it so you could basically buy more to build yourself as a player, kind of like crystals in TO. This wasn't all bad, as Tanki was fun when you could buy crystals and there weren't so many pro-buyer updates. Later, they completely destroyed the game with an update similar to the one that will be released onto Tanki soon. They made it so you could literally buy your way to victory, conquest, and superiority in the game. I left shortly after, and so did the majority of their community, besides heavy buyers. The forums were full of people who used to play, making fun of the game, writing about how terrible it had become (hence me xD), etc, etc. People were made fun of for actually PLAYING the game itself, because the game was so outrageous. I later quit the forums too, and moved on to find another game. I found that in Tanki, and have been playing it since. At first it was amazing, but as everyone knows the past updates have made the game far from that. Now, I'm on the brink of what I was practically forced to do in Grepolis, quit. This isn't something I want to do, as I love playing the game and its community, but recent updates are just crazy. Maybe I will stay long enough to give Unity a shot. Tanki Staff - What is the truth, and why can't we find it? Let me first start with the fact that I'm not saying TO, their devs, and staff are corrupt. I am rather stating it's a possibility! Tanki staff have gone through a lot due to 's video, but I can't be certain I feel bad for them. What is the truth? Has it been corrupt for awhile, and still that way? Or are our staff/helpers really not doing what they do. Here's one of my friends, who I won't say, who also believes and was told by a former mod that the system was corrupt. So is it true? I've had many, many mods tell me it is false including SpaceCowboy, I_F, HazelRah, DonCarnage (you get the point), so if they are revealed as lying (which arabiannoble has already come close to proving), that will prove we can't even trust our own players in the staff. I will not state my own opinion on this matter, as it will probably cause it to be removed by our staff. :) I will let you think what you want, between arabian's videos and what you you find here. EDIT: Semyon recently decreased the premium paint to 15% :) That's it for now, thanks for reading! Please tell everyone what you think about this in this topic!! Thanks and wish me luck this isn't removed ;) ~DJ

Great input, very good point, 100% true.
