[Issue 42] Why a 40% Off Sale is Better than 50% Off

[austlee 56]

I have to say that this is a great article, it's ok to lose 10% off if it helps release the Unity version of Tanki release faster. Would hate to see the new version prolonged way longer then it had to because of a sale that was 10% less then what was the norm

Ok.  After this comment I just lost all respect for you. Never had any to start but this is why people think poorly of the staff.  Such extensive defenders of TO.

Honestly, Semyon said it himself, Tankers Day is one of the most important dates in Tanki.  In previous years it was 50%, so why 40% off this year?  It's 10%, this is not going to make money for the developers at all.

From what I remember, it was never 50% off. And I KNEW, I KNEW it would not be a 50% sale. No one listened, of course until after the sale was announced.

Short memory! Actually at big sales it was always at 50%. Also casual single items sales at 70% off !!!

This story makes the players who cry foul against the 40% sale are whiners, misers & probably evil doers while Developers are being the saints.

Brace yourselves for Halloween sales! Same uproar will happen again.

Oh I know, though this would be my third haloween sale and neither time was a full 50% off everything, and I never remembered tankers day being a 50% off so I was surprised when people started talking about it in early August and late July. And as I said before, I did not care about the % of the sale. I did not get anything on it anyway.

Well, I have not read it anywhere it being 50% off tankers day. I know about the 70% off things, but that only happened twice and was only for an hour each time.

And if you do now like what I say, then just down vote me...oh wait, I forgot...they removed it so now I can't see the hate AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Now you have to put some effort into your rants other than just clicking a button.

I believe that Tankers' Day has been 50% off once.

 

I find it highly irritating when some guy posts 'wai no 50%' on the topic for a smaller-scale sale (perhaps Mayday), and garners loads of upvotes.

Wasn't it nice of tanki to remove the downvote button before you posted this.... :(

You see, tanki is now trying to stiffle freedom of speech on here. You are allowed to post your opinion defending tanki and tanki stops us from downvoting you. Just as you have the right to express yourself I should be able to register my disagreement with a simple click.

Well, tanki IS Russian, and Russia is NOT America. In Russia things like these are normal.

:/ now i dont know which side to pick 40% or 50%

You r a very inspiring writer. Though I'm glad that ur helping us make Tanki better, I kind of wish u were an inspirational writer who helped the world instead :)

I didn't no that there were 70% discounts randomly!

You know what the best thing you did SOC3? It is that you did not address with this articles the thousands and thousands who do not read the forum.

 

That was brilliant. Everything else, my nine-year old son could have done better.

 

I am not using facts, as you so eloquently put it, because the facts are there in the thread you do not want to read and reason. There is no point in rewriting everything there.

[VaudeVille 1,428]

I know how that feels. My aunt Luna made me a banana split a few days ago, and she only put ONE cherry on top! The nerve of that alicorn! I was expecting TWO cherries! I promptly downvoted her on every alt account I own and followed her around the castle, screaming about how inherently wicked she is....

 

*sarcastic smirk*

You wrote a brilliant article and it makes perfect sense. But the problem is that not too many players read these articles

[VaudeVille 1,428]

you also have a good sense of economics

I agree, I like 50% sales better than 40%, 50% after all is better, but I will take what a get, and sale is great.

[r_Soldier280 478]

I have a Question.

If 50% Sale is (Money Need to be bought) divided by 2 = __

Then how does 40% Work? 

Pls tell i need to save.

Saving hurts the game economy. :P

[AN_602 280]

How much did you get paid for posting this?

[MrHOHO 5]

Tanki needs money

 

Short and to the point, the rest was interesting as a read but not necessary.

The evidence provided here leads me to believe that they did not ignore you.

 

The apology should come from the tankers who continued to scream, flame, and troll even after the explanation was given and repeated.
