Why do paints cost so much and give no protection

[NooB_Assain 1]

For an example i like Spark, it costs 200k just for a paint with no protection. I think its just too much, i would realy like if the paints would cost less. And inferno 440k for a paint with nothing??? seriously

The paints and modules update of last month was meant to allow us more flexibility with the usage of protection and textures. It also meant that paints are now a status symbol and nothing more than that.

It's so tanki can make money, but I imagine no one will buy the expensive paints.

If they were cheap, every nob would waste their crys on them and get no benefits. Now that they are expensive buyers waste their money on them and tanki gets money. This isn't a bad setup, if devs can let the dust settle before making more changes and stepping on everyones plans.

look all said and done .. really the bottom line it comes down to it is that if it has nothing to offer us other then cosmetic then why is the prices over the top outrageous ..it would make perfect sense if it had protection or something added to it .. but it don't so why ?? just to get crystals which are fake money in a game .. just like the paint is fake in plain sight everything in our garages are fake so why should we have to waste  fake crystals that we earn in battles to buy a fake paint ... ?? the only thing here that is real is our money when we buy fake crystals ..

 

so really what is real..we know  the people playing the game  is real / and the game in general is just that ..its a game ...

Ever since the paint seperation update, like Semyon Strizhak said in a previous v-log episode, paints now serve a different purpose. Before the update the prices were based off of what protection they offered. Now they're priced based on their look, that's all.

Buyers waste their money on them and tanki gets money. This isn't a bad setup.

Noone is going to spend that much to get something that many other people ALREADY HAVE. I can already prophesize the extreme lack of diversity and boringness in other player's paints coming up.

The boringness in paints? plz, that is the smallest problem (if problem at all) i can think of.

Besides, tanki has been releasing new paints, and different people have different kinds of preferences. Many buyers have already wasted money on protectionless paints, i think you've seen them too.

The paints are cosmetic items that give you no gameplay advantage and nothing other than a cool look. Buying paints is not necessary for improving one's ability to beat opponents and win, therefore the price of the paints does not matter. Expensive paints exist purely for players to show their status and if you can't afford them, then simply don't buy them and use the crystals to upgrade equipment instead.

Please discuss paints in the main topic. Thanks.
