My final farewell to tanki!

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So during the time I was away, I decided to give tanki a second chance. And so I returned to this game thinking that it'll be enjoyable now, and oh boy how wrong I was. All the details of that will come later.

But first the mentions.

It was nice to see the familiar names of @Maf, @TheCongoSpider, @wolverine848, @At_Shin, @Tanker-Arthur, @mjmj5558, @Bydo, @monkeyburn,  @SporkZilla

@RIDDLER_8and @asem.harbi

It was also nice to see new respectable players in @DestrotankAI9, @Incorp, @numericable, @nikunj04, @Arjun24,  @Venerable, and @fire_shoter.

Now my reasons for leaving this game, we can start with the real life reasons. 

First reason is that I'm real busy with my responsibilities, and second I have big plans in the future that'll take up even more of my time.

Now onto the game.

The missions were like chores, and the lags, bugs, and imbalances that this game constantly had made those chores that much more infuriating. Many players feel the same way.

Now onto the community, mainly the forum's.

When I returned, the forum gave off a very hostile atmosphere, almost malicious. I tried to opt out early, but some people convinced me to stay. Looking back on it now, that was my last chance to leave before it really took into effect.

Anyway, fast forward to around early november. I asked a certain lead dev an important question, and his response when he finally answered:

"I only answer questions if it leads to useful discussion".

And well because of that response, not only did I leave his group, but I lost all interest and passion for this game. To me, it basically proved that he doesn't care about the players.

After that, the community was still as toxic as ever, and then I started retaliating against some of the toxic people. Which got me into alot of trouble. Some people started calling me toxic after this, but the thing is, my " toxic" comments over the past week was nearly 6 months of pure frustration that only those certain people have caused. I could report them but as I learned, nothing will happen because of reasons.

The community used to be so more more friendly back in early 2020 and even before that. The state that this community is in now is the reason why its the final straw for me.

 

Anyway I'm gonna leave this up for a couple days.

@DieselPlatinum

I understand how frustrated you are with Tanki Online. Since you are such a good player, please stay with this game.

[Frown 18]

why would he? Tanki online is a one sided relationship they see players as customers and favor buyers more, this game is ruined and soon it will die completely

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@MaliTanker

Because he is a good player with a high rank.

Every1 is entitled to their opinion. One may like certain things and one may not , and all good things must come to an end. You have my respect, whatever path you may take in life, may you succeed with flying colours. Good Luck mate ^^

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Goodbye, and good luck in the life. As a fun fact, for few days i thought @Incorp is you, because you created several alt accounts that time. Then after you started talking to "yourself", i realized ...

[Bydo 20,119]

Honored to be in there

Sad to see you go, I've enjoyed your company in the forum. I hope you will one day come back again, but if not, best wishes to you.

That doesn't justify the fact that you were also toxic.  Just saying.

I think you said the exact same thing in your previous fairwell topic

Hope this is not a true final goodbye, the forum won't be the same without @Crossbone, @DieselPlatinum, and @PirateSpider. Will miss you, take care and stay safe.

[Marekos1111 3,091]

Wish you all the best @DieselPlatinum, good luck in real life!

Wasn't it supposed that moderators can know every player IP and all of alternate accounts?

I only created 3. Crossbone, Bigchip, and PirateSpider. I'm not that creative at names though.

I might peep into the game here and there like @E_polypterus said. Just as a guest though. You can think of it as me visiting you guys in spirit.

I don't think that they can see such informarion, but I'm not a moderator anyways.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

Sorry to see you go

I'll have to decide how much I can play next year when I ought to be focusing on other things too, but recent updates are very frustrating for me

Can't comment much on the community being toxic because I've been spending much more time on Discord recently, but I'm so old (must be older than many players' parents) that people disagreeing with me doesn't bother me much anymore

But I guess the ultra-competitive / Legend / full-or-nearly-full-garage viewpoint does dominate sometimes, and it's not the only way that the game is played

A parting gift: my best screenshot of dumb shafts being dumb

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Well, this post is where my 7 year journey in tanki comes to an end. And a new journey for me will start somewhere else.

Maybe I'll peep in once in awhile. Who knows?

If there so happens to be a revolution to make this community less toxic, do know that even if I'm not there by name, I'll be there in spirit supporting the revolution.

Anyway, thank you all for your support, I too wish you all the best in all your future endeavors.

This topic can be closed now.

Anyways, PEACE :)

[Spy 14,687]

Good luck with everything, take care!
