Why is it a problem if Tanki wants our money?

[Epic_Space_Mango18 592]

I mean, if they don't put up things for buyers...how will they update the game and keep it going? lol

 

It may seem like it, but Tanki is far from pay to play. You just need to know how. Yeah I spent $6 but that was because I had some extra cash and felt like putting in a little to the game so the devs can update it. I was 2nd Lt at the time. But other than that, I know perfectly well how to get buyer kits without spending. I got the Voltage kit at 3rd Lt.

 

How do you feel about this topic? Do you think Tanki is pay to play? Do you mind at all when they put up expensive bundles in the shop? What do you think would happen if the devs removed all real money spending from the game?

I think the problem is not necessarily the paying for things it is the unbalanced nature of buyers to ftp players.

 

Also the updates that do come out of these funds are not the ones the players want.  We still have bad lag , glitches, server errors, new things that are not as beneficial as fixing the inherent issues with the game.

Maybe if the updates appeared to actually fix/ improve game play there might not be so much opposition to the small charges.

 

Currently it really does seem that every update is just another means for them to get revenue.  They need to balance this with updates for the free players more.

 

Just my opinion.

The buyers are subjected to those lags, instability and errors, too. This game runs on the Alternative platform and has been since its creation in 2009. Yes, the devs or whoever handles that should have fixed it by now and maybe we wouldn't suffer from so much lag.

Beat me :P

Got Pitbull on 2nd Lt., enough MUs on it by last MU sale, soon rankup to Lt. Colonel and over 300k just after rank up :D..

 

Everything without making a single purshase.

 

But that's not the point of this topic. And I agree to it, but low skilled buyers (even after having hundreds of thousands EXP who doesn't know to even capture a flag) joining team battles is not ok.

They want our money. OTher games does it good enought wihtout making even a tiny difference between buyer and free-player and they need skill. Lets say CSGO. You can buy everything in this game but you still need skill to play it. You can buy stuff in minecraft but still will die in PVP. You can buy in Tanki X and you will be with other players just like you meaning there is no real difference between buyers and free-players in a short run but tanki online... This game is different. Everything needs money. Want achievinaments? Buy! Want paints? Buy! Want strong gear before everyone else? Buy! Want a bunch of drugs? Buy! Want to own clan? Buy!

Soon i will need to add line like this-

Want to breathe? Buy!

Yes, but those buyers get product kits that at the time of the rank give them about 25% stronger equipment. Make them 50/50 and you have a single tank twice as strong as the average players, not to mention the steady stream of drugs giving them 100% armor 100% damage and 100% more life and you have an unstoppable noobs.

This game is far from pay to play lol, there are many more free MMO's that treat their non playing customers like rubbish, or something they stepped in. Tanki's main buying material is either cosmetic or can even help others in the game. 

 

At least here everyone has an equal voice, some games you need to pay to have a voice, know how that works? Only ideas for buyers. 

 

Yes there are some obvious flaws but they aren't that bad. There are games far more unbalanced than TO. You'd be surprised how many for those so called  'noob buyers' are actually player's second or even third accounts who haven't spent a cent. They just know what they are doing. I am proof of that.

So these "noob buyers" with 50/50 northerner who spam supplies and never turn their turret are just pros spending their crystals wisely on an alt?

I guess I could do that if I wanted to.

And it's their crystals, why shouldn't they spend it as they like?

Because it ruins game balance. 1 whale is about equal to 8 average players, but tanki doesnt care what any of the free players think.

Putting money into a game is a waste. Games don't care if you live or die, it doesn't care if you car breaks down. It doesn't even care whether or not you have a savings account to cover emergencies. The Dev's don't either.

 

Just think of all the money you could have in your savings if you didn't buy anything from tanki. One of the players mentioned that he puts $100.00 into this game every month. That's $1200.00 a year. By his rank, I'd say maybe a couple years or more. That adds up.

 

I would venture to say, TO is a multi-billion dollar a year business. I'd sure like to see where all that money goes.
