'Quite a while ago, we disabled battle funds in private battles. The time has come to finally solve the problem of unfair battle fund boosting through the use of alternative accounts. We have decided to disable battle funds in clan and format battles. These modes are not for earning crystals but for improving your skills, so we hope that you will support us in this decision.Funds in regular PRO battles and matchmaking battles will remain unchanged.' - Tanki Online Developers,
Hey guys, I don't usually post on forums however, this new update has compelled me to voice the opinions of not only me but my fellow friends in this game.
So let me address the developers of the game, hopefully they can get someone to translate this into Russian if they do not comprehend English.
First of all let me point out some key mistakes you have made in the statments above.
1.'Format battles are for improving your skills.'
Speaking from the view point of a XP player, I do not play these formats to improve my skills, but I play them for fun as i can play them with more than 3 friends (Which you can't do in matchmaking). Playing formats such as xp/bp allows people to come together and have fun regardless of how many upgrades your railgun, hornet and wasp have. Most xp/bp battles do not have supplies turned on. This allows players with low supplies to play the game in a fair environment where they do not end up with a bad d/l and also perhaps win some games. Yes. it is agreed that some players play xp/bp and other format games to improve their skills, but this shouldn't take away the fact that crystals should be awarded to them for winning and participating.
For my next point, let me link your statements together and show you how they juxtapose each other.
'The time has come to finally solve the problem of unfair battle fund boosting through the use of alternative accounts.'
'Funds in regular PRO battles and matchmaking battles will remain unchanged.'
If you have removed funds from format battles so that you can stop battle fund boosting through the use of alternative accounts, what stops the 'battle boosters' from making a pro battle and doing the same thing?
Do you see how removing funds from format battles, still doesnt eradicate the battle boosters from doing the same in other battles ?
Now that I've shown you why what your update has done hasn't actually solved the problems you have exhibited, let me tell you some more information which I fell you either don't know or are overseeing.
Many player use format battles such as XP/BP to earn crystals to better and enhance their garages. As I said previously, format battles such as xp/bp provide a fair and equal environment for players to play battles and earn crystals. Some players also just earn crystals to get nice paints !
Players who do not have good garages will suffer from this update as the rate of crystals which they earn will be significantly decreased. in additions to this they won't enjoy the game as much as they are more likely to be killed in Pro battles and Match making battles and are also more likely to lose. This takes the enjoyment out of games because lets be honest who wants to log into a game and lose more games than they win?
Now, let's say some player due to your update start playing xp/bp in pro battles so they can earn crystals, there will be people who ruin this by joining the game with different equipment which also ruins the game for the players.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I have seen, I earn more crystals in Match Making than I do in Pro battles and format battles in the same period of time. A 2 vs 2 xp/bp 5-7 flag game usually lasts 10-15 minutes long and the crystals earned from it are about 200-500 crystals. In a Match making game, A 7 MINUTE long game 500+ crystals can be earned easily and you don't even have to be first place, you can be somewhere in the middle.
Surely It would make sense for people who do 'battle boosting' to go play match making ?
What I can see from this is that people who play format battles will start leaving the game or play less frequently which will be bad for you, the developers of the game.
As of today the first day of this update, i have already seen less format games which shows you that people don't play format games more for bettering their skills but they play it for the crystals and fun of it. What is even worse is that I have not seen ONE 6 vs 6 xp/bp battle. This should be a testimont to why you should put battle funs back into format battles.
Many people believe that the game is becoming a PAY TO WIN game, as the benefits for people who buy in the game are far out weighing the options for people who do not buy in the game.
Many would say that this portrays YOU, the developers as being corrupt by trying to increase the income of yourselves and not helping better the community and the game itself which isn't a good perspective for people to have on you.
There have been many updates which allow people to buy and send you their money, but please don't make xp/pbp player suffer.
Due to you removing crystals in xp/bp battles it recudes the likelehood of people playing such formats. This affects the Tankisport system as less people will be willing to play formats such as light format and xp/bp due to the fact they are not as compelled to play xp/bp as much.
This will affect the Tankisport league system as there will be less clans in third league which will try to push to second league and therefore causing the 1st and 2nd league to become monotonous becuase it will be the same clans playing over and over again.
Also, one last thing before I conclude. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BOOSTING BATTLE FUNDS. It doesn't affect us.
I'd like to ask Tanki Developers to rethink the decisions to remove battle funds from format battles, as this does not stop battle boosting and reduces the fun of playing formats such as xp/bp.
