:mellow: I don't believe you actually understand.
This thread is commonly viewed and visited by the Developers and Moderators, you would see this if you even just look one or two pages earlier in the thread from this point. Nothing would ever happen in Tanki Online if they went and asked the players about every update they are going to make. They watch for the preferences of the general playerbase, and then act accordingly. You cannot expect them to go up and ask "Hey Dan, do you think we should do a balance update?" That's absurd, and there would be too many conflicting opinions. The people who benefit from the Battle Button are the casual gamers, who would rather just save time and join a random battle. Additionally, it makes the game a lot easier for newer players to learn how to use. This way the new Tankers can just click the button at first, rather than instantly having to learn the entire battle selection system. One does not need to be a buyer to afford a Pro Pass. You should be able to easily afford a 4,000 crystals item at your rank; I had no issues with it when I was your rank. And no, before you ask, I never bought crystals in order to afford Pro Passes. By making Pro Passes more necessary, this actually helps minimize buyer advantages. With Pro Passes being more commonly bought, more people participate in Pro Battles, where Microupgrades and supplies can be disabled. When there are no MUs and no Supplies, the Buyer and the Normal Player are now only limited to what gear and kits are available for their rank. In conclusion, buyer and the normal player are now on even ground, as long as the normal player has equipment suitable for their rank. The balance update was made in order to help lessen the power of several fairly overpowered weapons. The balancing has proved to be fairly effective in the M2 ranks, which you and I are in, so I see no reason that you should have complaints. Turrets and Hulls aren't overpriced unless you go around trying to buy them without sales. This encourages players to actually make smart decisions with their purchases, which is generally an excellent area to improve in most people. Additionally, it isn't really that hard to afford the gear if you play well. Paints aren't that important, so just buy a cheaper one during a 50% off sale. Modules are nice, but not necessary. Once again, you don't go around just buying all of them. You have to think carefully about your decisions. You get more crystals the higher rank you are, so yes, it is actually fairly easy to afford M2s and M3s. Notice that I have a respectable M2 Garage, and I've only one a few newspaper contests and then bought enough crystals to purchase Mammoth M2. The rest of my gear was completely earned and purchased via my own efforts.
I personally advise that you spend more time researching the threads and actually thinking about these statements before posting them. Additionally, if you have troubles with Buyers and gaining Crystals, perhaps you need to reconsider the battles that you join. I'd advise joining battles where you are the highest rank, battles that have Microupgrades and Supplies disabled, and battles on maps that generate a large amount of crystals such as Polygon CP.
Also, the last part of that post just sounds like a bunch of salt where you are complaining that you fell behind because of bad decisions when purchasing equipment, and now you are complaining because you can't easily catch up and buy cheap gear.
