Wrong... I beat you hands down :P

You will start to recognize the difference later :P

Several years from now, you will get a driving license and dad will buy you a BMW to impress girls (or boys...) at school. But no spoilers on what comes after that, dear. PS.: wow.... so many supplies... you got to be really cool... (is that what kids say?)

Really lovely ;) Now, make sure you get your homework done in time or ma will not cover the next set of supplies. And you do not want to engage those ugly tanks without them B)

Damn you are right again :wacko: Last drugs in the list (29,676 speed boost) remained out of the calculation... Now tell me: how comes you are so sharp here and a noob drugger in the game? :P

Press 7 to find it out LOL Press 7 to find it out LOL

To support my theory.... and I guess it has already been confirmed :D

I detailed my math in that case. Obviously the day after numbers may change. One question (which is not how often do you replace your number keys from your keyboard?): are you less than 16 years old?

About the above, I apologize. I was totally wrong. I rushed the post to go out for dinner thinking that you were accusing me to be a drugger, then realized what you meant, planned to re-edit at my return, but you were quicker. Furthermore one additional point to you for not insulting me back :D However, concerning drugging, I maintain my idea: it is badly applied by Tanki Online and foolishly used by unskilled young kids. This is the major reason why the number of users will keep decreasing.

What??? All my usage is in 10 months, not 40 days. AbsoluteZero... a nick, a reality...

DejectedTomato profile: - 43,542 double damage - 34,975 double armor - 34,378 mines - 29,946 repair kit - 29,676 speed boost - 831 gold boxes - 1062.50 hrs Analysis: - 134 drugs per hour = 33.5 drugs per battle = 2.2 drugs per minute - basically 44 days pushing two numbers every single minute for 63,750 minutes total - are these skills? - My thought on the 831 golds dropped? According to druggers this got to be a skill too...

I use Game Client (faster to load), but I cannot find a way to refresh when the battle freezes or blacks out (as Penguin40 wrote). So you are forced to exit and lose crystals :(

Read a lot of crap. Buyers of equipment = fine, no problem. You just accelerate (through money) the growing process, but games remain fair. But druggers? Oh man... I find it stupid indeed and I never miss the chance to express it with anger. Kids (the vast majority of this game) do not even know that an M1 (whatever turret or hull) with a drug is more powerful than the same type of M4 (just check technicalities: M1 x 2 vs M4). So you get this one guy constantly pressing numbers, mines and then healing. No matter how skilled you are, you cannot beat (maybe once, but not for long) two 8 years old children drugging. To beat them what would I have to do? Drug back... so to beat these two kids I would have to spend money... Since I play a lot I would have to spend a lot and considering that druggers are generally in groups, I would have to spend a lot and maybe still lose, if my team mates do not drug too. So, since you are not owning Tanki Online, is it not stupid to spend money when most of the time you do not get those crystals back anyway? Again, kids see the crystals they get at the end of the battle, but they do not deduct the cost and only first couple of players maybe gain, most lose crystals anyway. Why druggers are considered unskilled? Because they rely on brute force. Just drug after drug. Why caring to learn to turn turret? Why thinking about team strategy? Waiting for pickups? Are you crazy? Let's drug even when the time left is 5 seconds! Just keep pressing numbers and ask mom for more money... I keep saying that there should be number Seven to press: "10,000 crystals to win and close battle now". Solution: make drugs be +20%, not +100%. Druggers will spend more money, while non buyers can fight back. Everybody happy. And being jealous because I cannot spend? Learn to check profiles before defending your drugging! I might be the lowest drugger in Tanki Online history and you will understand I have thousands of unused drugs from missions. PS.: protection modules should also be removed or minimized. From 35 to 50% is way too much and unfair.

Really??? This game is MOSTLY about VERY young kids not speaking a word of English. What do you expect? They come, buy everything, learn to press numbers and that it is. Not checking flags, not checking time, not checking team mates. Just run towards the other side full drugs on. You are my same rank: I am surprised what happened to you is not "just another usual loss of time"!

Stop the freaking drugs abuse!!!! Make them +20%, not +100%!!!! Make them very expensive to buy!!! Make only 5 per battle!!!! I will never ever recommend this game to a friend, as it is only for small kids keeping pressing numbers.... Two thumbs down!!!

AbsoluteZero was actually confirming my line i.e. crystals consumption is higher than crystals rewards for most druggers. But you guys helped me to think further: you both are Generalissimo and you both have all possible M3 tanks/turrets. Your only way to consume crystals is buying and using drugs, which case I actually have to justify. What else can you do? But that got to be boring... no real goals... That is why I believe there should be all sort of periodical Tournaments and Leagues for everyone (with clear rules on drugging), rather than "self standing" battles.

That's impressive, especially coming from a drugger :P How do you get those graphs??? Would it be possible to see the lowest users of drugs in Tanki Online? I just wonder where I stand... :D

Feel free to call me arrogant and whatever else, but you just prove my point :) Drugs from daily missions have to be considered too, as it takes time to get them and they could go for material updates. So include them in your calculations. 10 crystals per drug only if you buy the 1,000 package, not always available. And you say that most druggers make 300 crystals every 15 minutes? Lol... Since there are so many druggers, there will be druggers on the losing team too and how many crys will they make? I just made another 4 battles, almost all druggers and none has been covering their cost one single time...

I am not trying to convince you, but... you are wrong :D Rewards are for everyone to see after the battle. Crystals consumption not, but approx. 2 per minute equals 30 drugs per battle at an approx. cost of 20 crystals per drug equals 600 crystals. In most of my battles no one drugger gets that. Boxes drop with regular frequency, same spot, same number. Anyway, you did not reveal your age and I suspect.... :D

A_R_A_K_E_L_Y_E_N... I am 48 years old. How old are you... ? :P The point I am making is: drop boxes are for every one to catch. Skills (no luck) of a team. Drugs, on the other side, are for the ones who spend more money and decide to waste them massively and foolishly. 90% of the time, druggers will get a reward in crystals lower than their consumption cost. Do they realize it? No! Drugging like that is a symptom of someone who did not mature the art of economy yet, typical of kids (or teenagers). Druggers language will confirm their young age too. Plenty of players got to Generalissimo and still have no game strategy at all. Have you ever played football against kids? If you have the ball, they will all run against you and they will also take it no matter how good you are, but then I do not call it football... and if they could press a number and double their speed/power, they would all time :D

I do not understand your reply. What is unfair? If you control territory without pushing numbers (drugs), it means your skills are better than the other and you deserve the dropping boxes. And anyway they fall with a much slower frequency than the way kids drug nowadays.

Easy: drugs are the problem. Explanation: pressing numbers is something that young kids can do too. Young kids will also change their favorite games quickly. Older fellows like me prefer to stick with some games over the years, but enough is enough: skills cannot beat druggers especially when they team up. So, for each new kid coming (saying "I am beating you" or "gold was?"), there are two grown ups going. Tanki Online needs to make money? Create tournaments! Many. Often. By country or worldwide. Single players or teams. Leagues. Cups. They are more exciting and I would spend my crystals in participating or watching. Drugs? Just pick ups: fair and square.

I see really many players with very few hours of game, but many kills and high rank. One of the really many examples: user KingEdwardVII has 32.2 hours of game in total. He is Major (took me 350 hours...). He has 19,786 kills (i.e. 154 kills every single battle of 15 minutes, clearly impossible). Any serious explanation or... most accounts are hacked?
