Unfortunately, Tanki Online is no longer the free-to-play experience it once was. Casual players now struggle to keep up. But this goes beyond just F2P concerns — it’s about quality of life for the game and its community. 1k golds are now meaningless compared to the high upgrade costs. A ~30% reduction in upgrade prices would help, especially since the low-rank player base is nearly gone, and we constantly face stronger F2WP players with early access to gear. Crystals feel worthless — once 250k guaranteed you an alteration, now you get junk. Time investment feels punished, not rewarded. MK8 upgrades cost over 1.2 million without promos, and crystal rewards keep dropping — containers once gave up to 1M, now we get 500k or even 100k. As a veteran player, I remember when Tanki was simple, fun, and community-driven. We had secret room hunts, browser-based battles, and real joy. That fun — that essence — is disappearing. Please, Tanki devs, consider these issues seriously. The community keeping this game alive deserves better.
