invalid On/Off toggle for increased crystals and experience during events

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

Hi, I would like to propose a possible solution for the frustration of many players including myself with the recent dramatic increase in experience gain - with 4x experience and 2x crystals since the change last year, but also 2x experience during every event.

Some players (such as those at Legend rank, and players who want to rank up fast) are very happy to get 2x experience during special events, however for many players this is something that they do NOT want, as with all the combined experience gains, especially if you have premium, you rank up at a truly insane rate during special events. This leads to some players, such as myself, actually playing less on lower ranks accounts as we do not want to rank up too quickly. Encouraging players to play less is not a good thing, and also it is very frustrating to feel that you can't play too much - to avoid ranking up too fast.

So I propose the following solution, which will make both those who want to rank fast, and those who don't happy - and will mean players will not feel compelled to play less on special events due to increased experience - an increased experience and crystals on/off toggle.

This will be simply a new option in the options menu under "gameplay" settings - and by default it will be turned off so it will not affect any players who do not know or care about it. However those that do, can turn this option on - and if you do, you will NOT gain extra crystals during events with increased battle fund, but you will also NOT gain extra experience.

This option will NOT only have advantages, it will also have disadvantages  - if you turn this option on you will gain NO extra crystals during special events, however you will also not gain the extra experience. This will mean that you can play during special events, and you will forfeit any increased crystals modifier from battles - but you will at least avoid ranking up faster than normal during these events. However, Legends or players who are happy with ranking up fast can keep this option turned off, and gain increased exp as normal. So everyone will be happy.

This suggestion is NOT exactly a suggestion to increase rewards, as it comes with a distinct downside (you do not benefit from increased funds during special events, if you turn it on), but it is very annoying to rank up extremely fast on your alt accounts when playing special events, and start to face much more powerful tanks while having relatively weak equipment yourself - so the existence of this option would please many players, while keeping other players who do want to rank fast happy also.

Just play in PRO/list battles mode, they get excluded from these events. I know not double cry, but its kind of a take all or take none just IMO. Giving players the control over xp sounds kinda hacky. And it could compromise the game or cause issues.

Yeah ranking up fast sucks since it forces you to spend lots of crystals on mus on turrets, hulls, drones, and protection to stay competitive at your rank. I think it should be slowed down just enough to allow players to upgrade their tanks and accrue a big sum of crystals along the way. I also heard that it was advised to not mu until you have a set of mk7 equipment which is a good strategy in tanki's fast ranking meta nowadays.

There is no reason why giving players some level of control (only during special events) of exp gain would cause issues with the game, how so? The only way to limit exp gain at the moment is not to open containers before you play so you don't risk getting premium, which increases your exp gain by 50%. I have to do this on my alt accounts which is super annoying, but even still I gain exp wayy too fast.

There is a problem created ever since the developers raised the experience gain by 4 times, as well as having double experience gain on every event - the problem that during these events, you rank up faaaaar too fast for many people's liking. If you want to avoid gaining excessive exp as a low ranker you literally have to avoid these events, and forcing players to play less is bad for the game, and also very annoying. You should not feel that you can't play during events because you will gain too much exp, so this is a possible solution.

If people want to rank up fast, or don't know or care about this option then nothing will change - they just leave it turned off. For those that do want to enjoy playing at low rank for a longer time, and do want to play special events without worrying about increased exp, they can turn this option on - and they can now enjoy special events without the problems associated with the new system. They will pay the penalty of no gains in battle fund - but that is fine, many of us are willing to do that. This option would be simple to implement, make everyone happy and increase player participation and play time in special events, so a win-win for everyone.
