well, your profile states clearly that you are a casual XP/BP player so i actually understand your frustration, but trust me, there is such players, i've seen them, there is accounts that where made solely for XP mode and never seen the sky of MM (ok i'm exaggerating here but you get the point), those players are what Tanki trying to kick out of it's players base.

yep, that name is worse than the update ! ? i don't know why, but that name remind me of boiled eggs for some unknown reason !

i hate Tanki policies more than most of you ever do (you can check my profile) i have been against most of it's updates since 2017 (especially the containers update since it's basically gambling for kids), but when i'm against it i do it for reasonable reasons not just because i hate it and i can't abuse the system anymore, some kids should understand that if any mode (or any feature) abused by players,Tanki will be forced to change it or remove it, you guys gotta blame yourself for doing nothing but playing XP mode all day long, just take a look at some earnings that some legends have because they spent +1000 hours on XP mode and you will see that you must blame no one but yourselves. love it or hate it, this update is here to stay, people that don't like it are more than welcomed to leave, trust me on this one ! (especially the f2p that don't participate in MM)

i played a wasp/fire a little back in 2017, but even when i as doing it, i knew it was a thing that SHOULD be removed, because the earnings where INSANE, and when Tanki hit the wasp/fire mults with removing funds from private battles a while back, i didn't complain about it at all, i understood the reason behind it, because i knew that what we where doing isn't "contributing" to the game itself, but rather, a selfish & childish act, so i moved along, like how the XP players should, i mean just look at most of the XP players in legend ranks, they are way above legend 10 just by playing on that mode, some of them made more than 5 MILLION crystals without even crossing the 20 000 supplies spend, how on EARTH you think that's fair for everybody else huh ? i'm NOT against XP mode & i'm NOT against playing it occasionally, but when players make it their MAIN source of income & most of the others can't, them i'm against it with full heart.

Look, XP mode is a perfect BALANCED mode, no doubt about it, but balance doesn't equal probability, and if a video game isn't profitable it will be a DEAD game, the majority of XP players play mainly on that mode, this is what Tanki hate NOT the mode itself, thus why they removed the funds NOT the mode. why ALL other combo's gotta go to the hell of MM while you can chill ALL day in your perfectly balanced XP mode ? doesn't this seem unfair in anyway to you ? also, Parkour is a recognizable mode with it's own contests (Master of Parkour is a HUGE event) and it's a mode that youtubers have fun in it as well, does that mean that we should get crystals there too ? i think NOT !

Try doing that yourself before suggesting it to me. (i tried, i failed miserably) if it's not an official mode, you will spend HOURS waiting for the right partner to play with, now why you get it easy while we have to go into all that trouble ? XP/BP mode was a mistake from the start, Tanki did it at it's start because they had no clue on what they where doing (they are still clueless as hell and make hell of bad updates too) but removing the funds from that mode is one of the most reasonable things the managers ever did.

Ok, but here is the issue: why you can EARN crystals on 1vs1 battle while ALL other combos can't, do you honestly think that's fair for everybody else ? why we have to be forced to play in MM while you get it easy at 1vs1 with a perfect balance ? do you actually think want perfect balance ? Think about it, if true balance truly existed, nobody would have bought anything, thus, no more Tanki, as simple as that.

yes, i do understand your point clearly, and it's valid, but TO have the right to remove a feature or a mode, especially if it is hurting the economy, they are not obligated to keep it just because "some" players like it, and especially if those players are nothing but a resource drainers.

haha, you wish ! sure, some players will leave, but those players are the ones that played +1000 hours in XP mode and still didn't spend a DIME to support the game, and they REFUSE to play with the buyers in MM, you think Tanki want those players to stay, are you nuts ? trust me, Tanki is MORE than happy to see those players leave, the same way it did for those Wasp/Fire Sandbox farmers back in 2017.

i want to do the same thing, but only problem is i'm a Hammer / Hornet guy. now why would you be able to play with you favourite combo against a player with the same combo while i can't ? THIS is why the crystals (not the mode) got removed, getting funds from XP isn't fair to everybody else that don't like Railgun.

look, i get your point, but you must understand that f2p players that Tanki want to keep are the ones that play with the buyers, as those guys make the buyers feel OP compared to them, thus making the money steam keep going from the buyers, now while playing in XP mode (even against a buyer) those rules don't apply, thus Tanki doesn't benefit anything from that, and as a simple rule in business: if you are not earning money, you are losing money. if i was in the management of Tanki, i would actually REMOVED the mode and made it e-Sport exclusive only, now Tanki Staff (as much as we hate them) made a smooth decision on this one, people should be grateful the mode was not removed entirely.

well now you understand how impossible it is to have like (Rico / Wasp) only battle, it's near impossible, why would you be able to use your favourite combo (XP or BP) while the rest of the players base can't ? and unlike you, i would happily play Rico/ Wasp or Hammer/ Wasp even without getting funds, let's face it, you guys love the mode for how easy it is to earn crystals not for the combo itself, Tanki knew it, and it's removed ONLY the part that hurts the economy not the mode itself, you guys should be graceful that they didn't remove it entirely AS THEY SHOULD !

please explain to me how Tanki can make money from a f2p XP player ? i'm thrilled to hear your opinion about this one !

true that, but complains MUST be valid in order to be heard, don't you think ? for instance, i'm with you (and the rest of players) against making Alt's in containers, as i'm against teaching young people to gamble. not really, but why you guys have XP mode while we don't have Twins/Hornet mode ? or anything short ranged ? do you think that's fair ? do you think rail is the measure of the skill of the player ? do you know how hard to play with Hammer ? yes, i would LOVE to see XP modes for ALL other combos (just imagine a Hornet Hammer battle emm) but i'm sure that won't happen (unless in e-sport) since those modes won't be profitable for Tanki. you got it wrong my friend as NOT all players should be satisfied (plus it's impossible to do anyway) only the players with most ROI (return on investment) should & only to some extent.

sorry about that, i'm just mad that XP players still don't get it, most of them got a free ride for more than +1000 hours, they earned THOUSHANDS of crystals & experience points without ever having to face a buyer or spend a single supply, when the fun is over, they got mad about it, i don't get this part, i don't understand how some people can be that selfish !!

well, that's not fair for like EVERYBODY ELSE that don't like XP combo, i'm a twins guy and i would love to play twins/hornet only in pro battles with no drugs and get crystals for it as well, but you don't see me complain about that don't you ? Tanki Online (or any other person or company) isn't obligated to be up to your own expectations, especially for being a free player that does nothing but waste it's resources, you are not actually that naive to think that servers & internet bandwidth are free aren't you ? not really, i don't like XP combo, but i'm truly good with twins & hornet, it would have been truly fair only if we could have our own XP mode too. rewards are usually giving when a good behavior is done, playing XP mode and not spending a dime on the game & hiding from the buyers isn't a good behavior especially on Tanki eyes, plus, playing XP mode with your buddies is called "having fun" not hard work, and what skills are you talking about ? just because i don't like XP combo doesn't mean i'm not skilled, do you know how hard it is to kill a juggernaut with it's full health on large map with Freeze or Hammer without even having a back up ? DO YOU ? if they want to buy paint's, gifts & other gear they MUST get crystals the same way other combo users do. plus, you guys just don't realize that by playing only XP mode you kinda "forced" Tanki to do this move, you never participate on anything, you just play XP mode & waste Tanki resources (servers & bandwidth), unlike the free player (like me) thay plays mainly on MM, sure i can't effort to buy, but i do my part in facing the buyers, if the buyers play only with other buyers, then most of them won't buy anymore, thus no more Tanki. Do you think Tanki care less about losing XP/BP players that they don't buy anything ? i think they are truly happy about it since all you guys do is waste tanki resources without ever giving it a return, Tanki is a BUSINESS, and as a business it does need a percentage of players to convert into buyers, an XP player is actually the last possible player to ever be a buyer, thus it make sense to actually cut the numbers of those useless players to it's maximum. well, there you said it, XP isn't about skill is about you getting easy crystals without ever spending a single supply, that's a type of crystals farming and it's cheating to everyone else that don't like the rail (like me). why you think it's fair for you to be able to play XP combo while i can't play with a short range combo, do you actually think that rail is skill & Hammer is not ? well try getting a flag with Hammer Viking then you gonna see how hard it it ! well, i want to play in my own arena as well (twins/ hornet or anything short ranged) but i can't get that right ? again, a reward is granted when the player does a behavior that the game desire, not what the player himself think it's a good behavior. same, i was way too OP with the kits even as a free player, i can only imagine how buyers would be.

well, prove me wrong tomorrow then !

you don't get it don't you ? this IS the reason why tanki don't want funds in XP mode anymore, you should get your crystals either from MM or the shop, what you are doing is not welcomed anymore, you can do whatever you want, this is how it's going to be from now on. (you gotta understand why it was made this way, you guys abuse the system by getting crystals from XP mode)

see ya tomorrow Mr. +1000 in XP combo, in MM ofcourse ! ? man this update is SO much fun, i'm not planing on playing this game anymore, so the alteration update won't effect me anyway, but making all the XP campers mad, now that's a nice farewell gift to me from tanki, i always hated those noobs, bragging about their skills on XP mode thinking is the same as chess or something, it's NOT, tanki is supposed to be unbalanced you freaks, now finally they gonna have to face the horrible truth, so sweet !!

i do understand why tanki removed funds from XP battles, there is HUNDREDS of players that waste tanki resources without ever having to spend a dime just because having an XP combo is all they need, they never get mad from being blown to pieces by some crazy buyer thus they never get "forced" to buy as well, they are satisfied with what they got and an XP mode is all they need, tanki now know this and removed the funds, a GREAT move in my opinion since those players rarely play in MM, it's like they are on a whole world, they don't even spend drugs, i've encountered many XP players, most of them have +2000 hours of playing with one combo and a few supplies used, and the worse part (for tanki) is that they never want to buy anything. tldr: tanki updates sucks, we all know it, but funds in XP mode had to be removed sooner or later, no more crystal farms finally !!

a pro XP player is detected, ah you guys gonna be a cannon fodder tomorrow, i just can't wait to see you get blown to pieces tomorrow with magnums on booster drone xD

so no more crystals in XP battles ? well, that's not fair for a LOT of people, not me tho, i HATE that mode and i'm glade it will die finally xD

Meanwhile In Alternativa headquarters:

and why it was NOT announced officially ?
