Wasp M2 hull gone one day before I rank up

[ArtisannasitrA 6]

I am absolutely LIVID. I have been eyeballing the WASP M2 Hull in I believe

it was the MOSQUITO kit and alls I had to do was rank up and buy it.

Yesterday I bought all the crystals I needed to do it and today

I ranked up and NOW IT IS GONE!

 

This is fraud. I am absolutely LIVID. LIVID I say. I demand my M2 WASP

or I am going to Paypal and I am going to tell them what happened.

This is FRAUD.

 

TO dangle carrots and then remove them is SO WRONG!

 

I am VERY MAD . I have EVERY RIGHT to be upset.

Definitely not fraud. Its not like Tanki didnt pay their taxes or something. Thats how the system works. Below each kit it says when it expires, it is your fault that you did not read that and see that the item will not be in the garage. Do more research before you spend money on something, 100% your fault, nothing Tanki did against the rules.

kits always expire after 12 days so same happen to Mosquito kit so i wait i say for new kits to re appear after 12 days

This is the way product kits are designed to function; they come and go from the garage. If you are at the rank in which the product kit is available, you will notice a deadline listed in the garage description of the product kit. After this deadline has been reached, the kit will disappear from the garage for an unknown amount of time. 

 

You have encountered a bit of bad luck and timing, but this was by no means an intentional action by Tanki Online (and to be frank, it is absurd to think of it as such). You may not have realized when the product kit was to expire, but you are definitely not entitled to compensation. You can use your crystals to buy a different piece of equipment, or you can wait around two weeks for Mosquito to return to the garage.

Product kits cycle around every 2 weeks, so you'll have your kit back very soon.

You have about as much right to be upset as Bill Gates does at not having enough money.

When I ranked up to Marshall, I was planning on buying the Cardinal Kit for a long time, but then when I checked, I found out that the kit wasn't there! Those two weeks were long, but thankfully, M3 Freeze played similarly to twins and gave me good kills until then. The 2 week wait just makes you appreciate the kit once you DO get it. :D

Fraud (noun): wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain

 

Tanki did not deceive you intentionally. Kits are automatically rotated from the garage every few weeks, and unfortunately the time remaining for kits not at your rank is not shown. However, since kits are more often than not rotated in sets, you can take a look at kits available at your rank to determine how much time is left on a kit that's not available to you yet. For example, the Bulldozer kit in my garage was rotated in after the last server restart, and it says that there are 13 days and 19 hours left. The Raiden kit is not unlocked for me yet, but it was also rotated in after the server restart, so it's likely that it will also be available for me to purchase if I were to rank up in the next two weeks. Unlucky situations like yours do happen, but it's not the end of the world, and you are not legally entitled a M2 Wasp.

 

Even if they deceived you intentionally, it would not be in their interests to do so. Tanki's economy relies on players spending crystals, which will lead a percentage of players to buy crystals, giving the developers some money to make a living and run the game. Virtual goods such as crystals and the Mosquito kit that you were about to purchase with those crystals cost essentially nothing to distribute, so the entire dangling-carrot scheme doesn't even make sense in this case. If they took it away to spite you, they just lost a customer. They have nothing to gain by being deceptive.

 

It's also worth noting that the game never guaranteed you the Mosquito kit. You paid money for the crystals, and those are guaranteed. However, the kit was not part of the deal- sure, you could (and, in the future, can) use those crystals to buy the kit, but the kit itself was never part of a "pay us x amount of money for the kit" deal. No false advertising here.

 

The kit will be back in a few weeks. You've already got the crystals for it, so just play around with the other turrets and hulls in your garage for a little while. I see that you've got M2 Isida, M2 Hornet, and Fracture, all pretty good equipment for your rank. It also appears that you have a good number of supplies. You'll manage.
