The best way for tanki to make more money and keep players long term is to make MATCH MAKING GAMES LONGER. Make match maker games atleast 15 mintues long, many players agree with me on this; the games are just too darn short. Imagine joing a battle that is half way done on the losing team, and you are down 2 flags, what point is there to even play that battle; there isn't enough time for you to win the game? Same thing if you are winning, what's the point? I know I'm going to win regardless of what I do. I remember the good old days where you would join a battle and you knew you had a chance to win or lose... it was anybodies game. You get into the battle and half way through it became super COMPETETIVE! You wouldn't want to leave that battle even if you are down 2 flags because you may find the strategy to WIN! This is where clutch players shine and the winning team must stay on edge in order to be victorious. Lag is the main thing i have been complaining about for a long time, but if it cannot be fixed, why not make the games longer, like a REAl fight is supposed to be? I understand the game must be geared towards buyers because of money, but you won't have many players left in a few years if this game continues to get less and less competetive, less and less skill based and more based on buying and spamming keys for 5 minutes, then sitting for 1 minute waiting to join the next useless NON competetive 5-6 minute game. The new turrets and hulls are great but you are focusing on things that don't matter because you are building on a broken foundation. You need to make the game fun again so more players will come and with more players you will have more BUYERS! The game must become popular again because Tanki has sooooooooo much potential if it would get its priorities straight. popularize xp/bp again and stop complicating the game with so many augments and turrets and hulls and please stop making the games shorter with each update. Today I noticed the new update which brings in more players to each game. This is a step in the right direction.... but the games where shortened to 5 minutes or so... why? It was at 7 minutes with less players and I didn't mind it so much... here's a great idea: Keep it with more players but lengthen the time! This will make for a very competetive game for both BUYERS like me and non buyers. If you follow these simple steps tanki will explode and become one of the best games of all time. Why? Because the simplicity and skill based play is what made this game so amazing!
