Boosting funds and experience for the whole summer

Freebie players are not playing as much because of the foolish 3X XP.  The overall number of players has dropped significantly...about 20% less than last week before the XP update. 

But here's the thing....the buyers are not the ones quitting or taking a break from Tanki.  They are too invested (literally).  They might even like ranking up quickly...maybe not...doesn't really matter because they won't stop playing either way.  They can just shovel some more money into the game and stay competitive whether they are a whale or just a little fish.  They've already sent Tanki some money, a bit more is no big deal.  They will continue to play even if the player count drops off dramatically.  It's more the freebies that get discouraged and stop playing as much or at all.

If this is true, that means that there is a much higher concentration of buyers to freebies than there was even a week ago. (I'm just guessing at the number of buyers...you can plug in any number and you get a similar result)

total of players               buyers         concentration of buyers in battles
21000 (months ago)        8000              38%
16500 (last week)            8000              48%
13300 (now)                    8000              60%

 

A few buyers may have stopped playing because of the XP, but that few is probably offset by more players motivated to buy.  So we freebies get triple whammied.  Ranking too quickly from the 3X XP, fewer players overall so MM creates even more unbalanced matches by increasing rank brackets to fill the mandatory 16 slots, and a much higher concentration of buyers with lots of upgraded equipment.

The future does not look very bright where Tanki and fun in Tanki is concerned.  Going to be a rough few months.

NOPE NO POINT TO PROVE  i only played it because of the x3 xp if that silly decision is reversed i will continue on my colonel acc and finish challenge. if not i will just mess around with noob acc  and go after cry until i rank to much and unable to do it.

Ok, now I'm having serious doubts about your intentions...

If you don't like this update, there are ways to bring this to Tanki's attention. But posting such images and texts that have nothing to do with this topic is highly illogical, and is not helping you or anybody else in any way.

Just been on a noob staff sarge account for a laff mk6 smokey mk6 titan 1 protection(smokey) tdm we won 61/35 i got 32 kills 2 losses i just farmed cry as i was circling the map until the end of the battle.The kills were a afterthought and only cause i got bored. g/s  5384  the rest of the team both sides combined 7673. MM at its finest I actually did nothing but go after cry for first 90 secs.

IT ALSO SHOWS EARNING WAY TO MUCH XP COMPARED TO BATTLE FUND.unknown.png

 

And I don't think you got my point. Having Mk6 equipment and getting 32 kills at Staff Sarge is not NOOB. Your main may be Legend, but in this case, it isn't noob. Not even remotely. Please think bfore you type. I really don't wanna believe that you've suddenly become illogical.

YIP WELL SAID. I was a buyer for 1 simple reason, i like to win hate to lose. i pride myself on being a good player regardless of my credit card doing all the heavy work, but let's not forget i also champion the f2p players as i recognise their plight in this buyers game. Even as a buyer (not anymore) i thought the balancing of the game was in no way fair to non buyers and the amount of free golds iv'e dropped for noob players throughout the ranks must be going on half a million. i never boast of any battle i do well in but on the flip side i never ever say im just average because i no im way past average. In a team match i no ive got the skill and the garage to help any side in battle but i no my limits mainly im totally noob with magnum and striker having never played them even though on 1 of my legend acc striker is maxed out(god knows why) but it is. There you all go me and tanki in a nutshell. I will continue to play my noob acc until this nonsense x3 xp is over as there is no way i will sacrifice my mid rank acc to the overpowered higher ranks i will come up against.

To me noob means very low account nothing more nothing less... i no what you are trying to say ...noob means basically not a very good player who also has useless garage etc. my very low acc is to me noob ..simples.

omg posting this was a bit of fun and to show devs that my main playing acc is on ice until this x3 xp is over with. you want to take my pic and what i said the wrong way im really not bothered ...seriously not bothered i do just fine no matter who likes are dislikes my comments. I mainly come into forum because i actually agree with a lot of what is said by those players who think just like me, and it also stops me playing way to much and gives me a break from battle.

Cool, no probs. Just letting you know that not everyone will take your posts the way you intended. It'll be much better if you explain your intention. It'll help avoid a lot confusion.

my intentions.....ok 1 to show that MM is seriously unbalanced 2 that id rather play on silly little noob acc than waste my time and supplies in battle on my mid rank acc while this x3 xp is ongoing. 3 That is the very 1st pic i have ever posted in forum and i showed it because i thought it was a bit of fun on noob acc and might get a few laughs from you guys. Obvs you think im up to no good and showing off against not very good players, just goes to show how wrong you can be about someone who posted a harmless pic of a low rank noob battle just for a laugh. Now if you still don't get it ..not my problem.

MM is imbalanced... The fact that you had Mk6 equipment against players that barely have Mk2 quite clearly shows that.

Why would 32/2 be funny, if you are clearly OP? It'll be very funny for the guy who has the OP equipment, no doubt. But even for non-buyers, we very rarely come across such a huge gap in GS (5k vs 2k) . Having such advanced equipment against tanks that have barely MU-ed their equipment is really nothing to laugh about. 

I hope u understand...

Update was released on Monday.

Graph tells a story.

With such few players online, rank brackets are so big, and battles are complete blowouts. 

 "Lets add some decorated bushes to the game. Maybe it will get players to play more. Clearly it can't be the matchmakers fault. Matchmaking is perfect."

Weekdays always shows lower number. It is more relevant to compare weekend days all together.

With x3 exp the op equipment are going to go up faster. So it seem that tanki is trying to clean up the powerful combo form the low rank and medium ranks.
But 2 months and half is a long time.
