Even though I have quit I still read the posts to see if by any chance things are improving on the chance I might consider coming back, well I am staying quit. I am going to point out that this discount is nothing more than a gimmick. Think, think and think even more. Every update that Tanki Online has done recently goes hand in hand with the only focus of making money. A 2 day discount is only to put pressure on players to spend money. The prices were recently raised on "Micro Upgrades" and now a 2 day discount. Oh, golly all players should take part and if they don't have enough crystals go out and spend their money on this oh so ever "deal". What about after? Players will be no farther ahead in the long run. Even if a player gets a couple upgrades, which the only way to achieve this is to use the speed ups what about after the discount and all the upgrading that still needs to be done? The upgrades will still be outrageously over priced and take forever to complete. If you micro upgrade as it is right now it doesn't even mean you are going to get any real useful parameters with their new Micro Upgrading System in place. I know what your thinking. What about if a player has crystals saved up just from game play? Easy answer, crystals do get used up fast now and eventually to the point a player runs out making them unable to keep up with micro upgrading and therefore unable to compete against "buyers" unless they become a buyer themselves. These so called discounts/sales are meant to get players revved up in the chance they can benefit from them so they can advance in the game but really it's just a pathetic attempt to get players to spend their money or to keep existing players from quitting. For a "Free To Play Game" it's really expensive. I guess in some countries like let's say Russia it's probably very affordable to play but not in other countries. I like saying my point of view but as I was told "Once Tanki Online Does An Update They Will Not Revert To A Previous Version" therefore Tanki Online staff will never change their attitudes or their way of thinking making this game a very bad choice in games to play. There are tones of alternatives out there you just have to look.

I could be on my other account using up what very little time is left on my 100% Score Multiplier Pass to rank up but here I am. Some of you know me as Generalissimo Here2Play others know me as Commander Tombestone and some even know me more personally as Brian. After playing for months and countless hours I am now past the crossroads of whether to quit or not and have made my decision. Well after much consideration I have decided to quit and leave Tanki Online. I have played with some excellent players, made some excellent friends and have had a lot of fun along the way. There does come a time when you have to step back and take a look at what is actually going on and which direction the game is going. I have been doing that for the last couple of months and with every new update it simple spells out "GREED". With no thought of the players but the thought of there wallets Tanki Online has made this game all about making money and I am not impressed. Lets start the break down of the updates. We will go all the way back to the update that only gives you the option to only buy a Turret or Hull according to your rank. This update has limited everything considerably. I no longer have the choice of buying any M2 Turrets or Hulls as my options are all very expensive M3's. I myself would have liked to have bought a M2 Isida, Rail, Titan and micro upgraded as I go to build my garage up but because of the update it turned into M3 which once again is way to expensive to buy. We the non buying players have no choice in anything we get now, all of it in turn ends up being to expensive. With the new Micro Upgrading System we will barley be able to upgrade one Turret and Hull never mind trying to get a proper garage going. When players had the option to buy any Turret or Hull it didn't mean they had to use them but gave them a chance to buy them and micro upgrade them as they played with there main turret and hull. This gave players a better garage and something to build on. Now you either save and save or yes you guessed it buy crystals to purchase the equipment. Oh, I almost forgot. With a Premium account a player should be able to afford all the Turrets and Hulls or at least most them and the benefits that goes with them. We will now proceed to the "Premium Accounts". Who could resist the temptation of a 50% Score Multiplier Pass, Special Paint, better sales on equipment and the best of all the 100% Bonus Crystals. Well I am here to tell you this this guy. All they have done is given a massive advantage to buyers leaving non buyers helpless. As Premium Account holders will be able to advance quicker with the best weapons and be able to afford the new Micro Upgrade System the non buyers will be dominated. Obviously this was well thought out because with the 100% Crystal Bonus it's the only way to afford anything anymore unless you buy crystals either way more money for Tanki Online. The next update was a controversial one. The removal of the "Score Multiplier Pass". As I can understand playing the game without one is a benefit because you don't miss out on crystals it is clear that adding it to the Premium account is just another bonus for buyers for those who want to rank a little quicker. Thus once again putting more money into the pockets of Tanki Online. I actually had to stop to think about this a bit as to whether it was a good update or not and I say "not". Not just for the reason that Premium Account holders only get the pass but for other reasons. For some players they come on to play with friends and as some have more time to play others might not. Maybe they are in school, work or who knows it doesn't matter what the reason. The Score Multiplier Pass was an excellent option for players to be able to keep up with the ranks of there friends. Taking that away has actually become in the way of friends playing along side each other. I know if I wouldn't have had one I would not have been able to catch up or it would have taken forever to be able play with or against my friends. For the players that used it to rank rapidly it is their loss because you do loose out on valuable crystals that they could have built a better garage, used them for micro upgrading or just buying equipment out right. It was a choice only the players could make on how they wanted to use it. Now we head into the new "Micro Upgrading System". Now we hit on the touchy subject that made my decision so much easier on leaving. The new Micro Upgrading System. So for me having 2 accounts with M3's I was in the process of micro upgrading when the Server Maintenance started. I was upgrading my M3 Thunder from 20 to 21 out of 25 when the update happened. I only had a couple hours left after waiting about a day and a half and after the update I came to realize that this upgrade was not added into there new method of upgrading. According to what I read and understand after my micro upgrade that was in progress I should have been at a 46 out of 50 on there new system, didn't happen. So I emailed them and brought this to their attention. Well I am here to tell you Tanki Online and staff are never wrong in their eyes. I used up the last of my crystals which was a lot for that upgrade never to get it so from that I figure all upgrades that any player were having done during the Server Maintenance down time has not been added to the micro upgrades. The previous way of Micro Upgrading was perfect a player could upgrade a parameter, play while they wait for the upgrade and by the time it was ready they would have enough for the next upgrade. Players where able to micro upgrade parameters to suit there game play needs. This update is just another ploy to get more money out of players as the new upgrade system gets so high in price there is no way to keep up the upgrading. Oh wait, unless you have a Premium Account or buy crystals. This update has taken out all the thought process and tactical decisions a player could have made. I already know from experience that the Tanki Online staff is going to jump all over this saying "Oh, these updates were good and it benefits the players greatly" but that's just hogwash. They will try to justify these upgrades, argue their points and make it look good in their favor. I know better and so do many players. It benefits Tanki Online wallets that's it, that's all. Many of us have seen the changes with each and every update, many of us are quitting because of these updates and for the remainder of the players they will soon realize why we are doing this. If this is how the new Tanki X is going to be which really hasn't been anything more than useless talk and videos so far than I want nothing to do with that either. Tanki Online has taken something that was fun and enjoyable and made it into nothing more than an aggravating money pit for players if they want to play. If the plan is to push players so far that they leave Tanki Online thinking that they will move on over to Tanki X, well some of us will not forget what happened here. You have completely ruined Tanki Online what's to say you wont do it to Tanki X? For all you buyers I have one question for you?You spend money on Premium Accounts, Turrets, Hulls and Micro Upgrades but what guarantee do you have that those will transfer over to Tank X, none. For the players staying on Tanki Online do you seriously think this is going to get better? Absolutely not, they will get worse. Tanki Online does not go back to previous versions or remove updates. For the non buyers I have nothing but a good luck to you your going to need it. Tanki Online why not just make it pay to play wouldn't it be easier rather than gradually doing what you are doing? To the friends I met on here I am truly sorry. I have enjoyed playing with you and against you. The conversations have been epic and just hanging out was awesome too. If you sign into the Tanki Online forum and check your messenger Ive sent my email to some of you so we can keep in touch and if I didn't send it to you sorry but just ask one of our common friends they will have it. I'll miss you all. Take Care. I already know this topic will be "closed" quickly as Tanki Online staff will not want to hear what the players have to say but at least I spoke my peace and maybe gave other players something to think about. I'm out. Okay I'm ready so let me have it Tanki staff. Tell me how I am so wrong about everything and that I don't know anything.

First and last time I enter a contest. Why even try if your not going to judge properly and fairly? Why even have these contest's? It's very plain to see that the contest results were not based on the information that was given in beginning on what you were looking for. There were much better advertising posters. This is a major let down and I see no reason in wasting time and effort in even trying to win at least something when you wined up with results like these. I should have just scribbled something in crayon and sent it in I probably would have won something. Never again.

Welcome to the Thunder.
