Frustrated with Tanki. Please read.

[Fah_Q 28]

Hello,

 

I have been playing Tanki for about a year.

 

I have two accounts, one is a Major with a turret M2 and a Hull M2, along with some M1's. On this account I have spent upwards of $50 to get it where it is.

 

My second account is a Field Marshall 3, and I only have an M1 Smoky and was able to afford most of its Micro-Upgrades. I have not spent any money on this account.

 

Here is where my frustration lies.....

 

Over the course of a year I have noticed; that as I level up and start playing better people. My actual real life money I spent on Tanki to get where I am, becomes less and less important. Basically, my upgrades I buy are only useful for a couple ranks before it becomes weak compared to other items purchased. What this tells me is; it doesn't make any long term sense to spend money on this game. Unless your willing to buy new equipment every 3-4 level ups. This could easily cost somebody $200+ per/year to stay "competitive". 

 

I have spoken with several other higher ranked Tanker's whom I asked what there experience is with this issue. They all have said that it has taken them several years to get to the tank they are at; and also purchase M2's. Are you serious Tanki? How are you are getting away with this? People play organically leveling up over the course of years!! But., they still have to spend $100-$200 per year to be at the top of there class? Even if they play every day!!

 

Now with you removing the Crystal Box Drop's, it's even harder for us to get Crystals!! WTF are you thinking?

 

Please explain why anyone would want to be on a losing team if your only earning 10's of Crystals? Now, every game I play is a complete blow out, because the losing team quits for lack of motivation. 

 

I think this is largely due to the cost's of upgrades and upgrading your M Class. I just don't understand why it costs SO MUCH CRYSTALS to build a competitive tank and keep it current to your rank. Or another questions is.... Why do you make it cost $100's to even try to buy these higher tanks outright? It's like no matter what you do, you cannot win. Unless you want to spend Hundreds and Hundreds of dollars on this game per year. 

 

I am losing my patience with you guys. I dont see any reason for me to want to max out my rank and continue growing an account. What makes more sense to be based on this game structure, is to me to constantly make New accounts. This way you can actually play fair even games. Once your new account starts getting to high a level, you start a new one. That can avoid people needing to spend so much money just to be on the same level as other tanks. Considering we all start out the same level, it seems stupid to spend a ton of time and money just trying to achieve that level of "Fairness" again....That's what it seems like your wanting us to do.... 

 

Please, BRING BACK CRY BOX DROPS, LOWER CRYSTAL COSTS FOR UPGRADES, MAKE BUYING UPGRADES FOR TANKS LESS THAN $50. Make this a fair game for us to play. Make it so the people making the profit aren't having all the fun. Give something back to your players other than these stupid incentives to buy more of your extremely overpriced and expensive crap. 

 

I hope you take my thoughts into consideration. This game has sooooo much potential. I truly feel like your blowing it.... If you have thoughts about this, please speak up. Don't let Tanki keep doing this to such a great game!

 

Kindly,

 

Major, Fah_Q

well these devs and mods are ridiculous,they clearly show their intention.they trying hard not to bring back the crystal drop by bring yet another week of garbage experiment.the ctf is like a tdm with the xp points.now you will rank up faster with less crystals .so you will have to buy with real money which is their[mods and devs]main aim in these experiment.majority of players  vote against these garbage updates and they said players like it,that did not work so they try another for one more week,then they will lie again,if they want to bring back 10 boxes crystals drop they would have done .,but no they try this nonsense which clearly shows their intention and that is for us tankers to buy more crystals so that they will have more money.

they prices in the garage is way too high .to up grade just one part of a m3 cost way over 200000 crystals,so with no crysta;s drop to help u will have to spend more money to buy crysta;s which is what they want.

I agree Majorpakpak. I was wondering if these experiments are Marketing Strategies to make people appreciate gold boxes when they fall, so they can bring them back with high excitement. Or a way for them to get a quick boost in Upgrade Sales. Either way. VERY MESSED UP. Cheap ass greedy Russians.

Russians saved our arses (right spelling) in WWII so don't complain

This has nothing to do with what country they're from.

Bring back Cry Boxes, and lower costs of upgrades!

[T-Buster 9]

Agree: -increase Crystal income per battle

          -decrease micro-upgrade cost

 

Disagree: bring back Crystal drops

Reason: Your teamates camp and don't help you. They see a crystal falling down.

              They charge and get that 10 Crystal box, and died after. Giving the enemy a point in TDM

              OR they return to their camping spot.

 

Note:(Recommend you to -Don't spend too much money on a game (Even if the game is so Awesome ;))

answer is simple, "its all about money" do you think they want you to spend "just" 50 euros noooo  they want you to spent continuosly. someone in forum alrerady said it is a endless den for money.
