The Fundamental Issues with Matchmaking: Socialism. Cash. I bet you all think I'm joking to troll the Russians, but this is literally what matchmaking is. In a nutshell, the players that don't work on their tank or play well are rewarded by playing tanks that are lower than them in rank and typically skill. Players that are entirely free-to-play (meeee!) and have to work really hard to get their tank to the equivalent of a buyer are forced to play, well, buyers with purchased kits, overpowered alterations, and a practically infinite number of each supply. And Tanki is slowly moving away from it's free-to-play roots, milking the buyers for money. Seriously, shot colors? The missing four rewards on the April challenge? Tiers 46-49 have no reward for the non-Battle-pass players. Even drones are a stretch, with their absolutely minimal effect on the game it just goes to show that buyers want to have every advantage possible and are willing to cash in for expensive batteries. Alternava needs to realize that the f2p community is the most dedicated of it's players. Yeah, sure, you can make the case that pumping money directly into the company's pocket is loyalty, but looking hours played by the timea non-buyer tanker gets to M2 tier? That's dedication. I just feel as if Tanki is dying. Which sucks, because Tanki X isn't growing in popularity (at least compared to TO) When I started playing in 2013, I would consistently see high numbers in the players online zone on the homepage. I guess AP is being smart, knowing that the game is going to die and pulling out all the stops to get as much cash as possible. A list of non-freetoplay things now in the game: Premium, Shot colors, Battle pass, easy stars, skins, drones, kit availability before casual players, etc. Elitist As a side note, I kinda lost my train of thought when writing this. I was simply fed up with playing with Generalissimos at my rank, and felt the need to say something. At the time of writing this, I am the three red stars with a line under it. That rank.

haha, rather take tenth than eleventh. Well done to the other nine.
