Why non-buyers hate buyers?

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I look at it like having that one rich kid who constantly hot-dogs  and buys new things.He's unqualified and his stuff isn't impressive, but he still brags and insists he's better than you. The easiest way to deal with him is to ignore him, because he's a vocal minority against a largely okay community.

[Real_Uchiha_Sasuke 189]

Well we dont hate you  ( buyers ) Its just that we hate the things which are approachable only by you just because of developers

[tanks48 30]

I don't like buyers, but I hate the people who say that you buy just because you bought a kit more.

I play alot of Noise and get pushed over the egde alot on the red side, just because I'm using gear that came from kits. Usually follow by a "sorry". At the start I believed them, but not after 3 ranks of pushing and annoying me. Kit =/= buyer, please understand that.

I get called a buyer alot, also when I drug. It's really annoying.

While I have never bought crystals on any of my accounts nor spent anything to support the game, I appreciate those that do as they actually support the game.

 

That being said, I enjoy very much when I can defeat buyers and especially drugger-buyers without having to either buy crystals or use drugs myself when playing. Which I believe represents pure skill. Check out my profile to verify my D/L ratio and that I haven't been using drugs which I've been stockpiling for 2 years now. Hint: I'm way over the 6,000 range for each.

 

I also laugh when ever there is a posting saying the game should refund crystals or this and that when ever an update is made.

 

My favorite is when I see someone try to press the repair kit as I am engaged in battle and I still destroy them.

 

I also know the difference between needs and wants.

You don't "use" pickups, you pick them up. Hence the "pickup".

 

Ok, to prove my point.

Sorry, but is still find that hard to believe. I have many alt accounts so I think I know what I'm talking about ;)

[dan146_tanker 770]

But they still complain about every new paint cuz its buyer exclussive and hate on update before they have even seen it. Thats the reason why i was forced to remove dan146_tanker from friends.

You weren't ''forced'' to do anything. You simply unfriended me, because you obviously disagreed with my point of view. Trust me when the update hits its gonna be the paint separation all over again.

No i was forced cuz i dont want anyone in friend list who judge before even seeing something.

tbh what are you trying to say??

tbh what are you trying to say??

leave the game if it is only for buyers because no one cares about a person who has no skills in the game complaining that their mum won't buy them somethjng

^ This statement is invalid and an opinion. Even if it were valid, at least the complaints had proper grammar :P

when you know my statement is right why do you change the topic to grammer?? It is because you know I am right so go play tanki instead of spamming on forum.

Read a lot of crap. Buyers of equipment = fine, no problem. You just accelerate (through money) the growing process, but games remain fair. But druggers? Oh man... I find it stupid indeed and I never miss the chance to express it with anger. Kids (the vast majority of this game) do not even know that an M1 (whatever turret or hull) with a drug is more powerful than the same type of M4 (just check technicalities: M1 x 2 vs M4). So you get this one guy constantly pressing numbers, mines and then healing. No matter how skilled you are, you cannot beat (maybe once, but not for long) two 8 years old children drugging. To beat them what would I have to do? Drug back... so to beat these two kids I would have to spend money... Since I play a lot I would have to spend a lot and considering that druggers are generally in groups, I would have to spend a lot and maybe still lose, if my team mates do not drug too.

 

So, since you are not owning Tanki Online, is it not stupid to spend money when most of the time you do not get those crystals back anyway? Again, kids see the crystals they get at the end of the battle, but they do not deduct the cost and only first couple of players maybe gain, most lose crystals anyway.

 

Why druggers are considered unskilled? Because they rely on brute force. Just drug after drug. Why caring to learn to turn turret? Why thinking about team strategy? Waiting for pickups? Are you crazy? Let's drug even when the time left is 5 seconds! Just keep pressing numbers and ask mom for more money...  I keep saying that there should be number Seven to press: "10,000 crystals to win and close battle now".

 

Solution: make drugs be +20%, not +100%. Druggers will spend more money, while non buyers can fight back. Everybody happy.

 

And being jealous because I cannot spend? Learn to check profiles before defending your drugging! I might be the lowest drugger in Tanki Online history and you will understand I have thousands of unused drugs from missions.

 

PS.: protection modules should also be removed or minimized. From 35 to 50% is way too much and unfair.

I'm sure loadsa people have said it before, but the thing I hate most is working hard, spending weeks earning as many crystals for as little xp as possible to afford rail m2 by the time i rank up, to see someone 4 ranks below you get it for nothing. It's the same with all other kits...

 

Tanki used to be way less buyer-biased... Normal people could afford m3s... m3 railgun cost 3700... and then the rebalance. And now the rebalance 2.0. Tanki ruined this game in 2012. Sure they added some cool features, like cartoon-y graphics, and splitting modules, etc. but they lost the interest of a lot of older players imo. Thats the reason why this is my highest ranked account, despite having played for nearly 5 years...

[Amagi 1,728]

I see drugger-buyers as more of a challenge. Probably because I have saved enough drugs over the months, unlike the rest of you lot. (Maybe a few exceptions).

Because paying money to win an browser game match is ridiculous. Poor buyers guys.  :)

Please refrain from insulting other players.

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

This thread is turning into a war of words between Free players & Paying users. And of course, another reason would be selfishness.

This is the reason of why people hate buyers.

 

[K.a.M.a.JI 600]

I see the opposite of your question in RU1 server, most non-buyers love buyers, and best example "3zb" or "Punished" now.

[BLASTER872 1,892]

Sorry, but is still find that hard to believe. I have many alt accounts so I think I know what I'm talking about ;)

I'm pretty sure Jason knows just as well if not better for he has enough alts too

[Rayyan 3,415]

Answer is so easy. Buyers have life. And non-buyers dont. So they are jealous and they want life too.

So, the head developer is satan and to get your soul back you have to give him hundreds of dollars? Sounds about right.

Well free user wanted to fight buyer. Thats it.

We won't hate buyers if they will give us golds  ;)

You forgot to mention that before the rebalance, Railgun was a so called tier 1.5 turret, while tier 2 turrets were a lot more expensive (more along the lines of the current prices). On top of that, back then, tier 2 m3 turrets were available at Warrant Officer 4! No non-buyer was able to afford an m3 combo at that rank. It's not the price of normal upgrades that is a problem between buyers and non buyers. It is the ability to micro upgrade equipment that is giving buyers a huge lead. 

And I think the reason non-buyers do not like buyers is that many times, they don't lose battles because they lack skill, but because their equipment is just not strong enough. If it were true that all buyers are noobs, it wouldn't even be a big problem, but the thing is buyers are just as skilled as non buyers (averagely speaking). It just comes down to who has the strongest equipment and especially at the lower ranks, those are the buyers.

The skill is roughly equal, but the equipment is not.

[asifmehmood 1,576]

In kits we can buy combos which are mostly not available at that rank , a non-buyer if he saves much can buy 1 or 2 but buyers can buy all of them and can use them depending on game mode and map which is what non-buyer can't do.

E.g.

Non-Buyer buys tornado kit and plays island/Arena with friend. Uses m2 xp combo in those maps are difficult.
