RIP my tankoins

[totallyarmed 57]

During battle, I went to the garage and started upgrading my (thunder) turret. I didn't realize that i didn't have the number of crystals required to update the turret, and i kept pressing enter. God, the last thing i remember seeing was "not enough crystals. Buy more in the shop?"

and i pressed enter. Oh yes i did.

now, i have got 520 tankoins. i used to have 6-7k. guess i won't be participating in the upcoming esports tanki fund. crap.

I agree, happened to me, too, and I deeply sympathize - this is a totally perfidious trap.

Everywhere else we are forced to click umpteen times, but in a matter as grave as wasting all your tankoins on a measly micro-upgrade, they don't even mark in red that you're low on crystals, nor does a sign pop-up "Alert! Alert! We are trying to lure you into wasting the only valuable currency in the game. Are you really sure?"

I don't know the Russian term, but I  know how this kind of behaviour is called where I'm from.

@CortoMaltese Thank you, and I really hope I get tankoins from the fund now. And yes, they should at least ask twice! Smh.

Try writing to the support team, they returned mine when I accidentally spent the tankoins on the upgrade.

And this is you should always pay attention to what your purchases does instead of clicking away like a madman.

You must be joking. On a low-risk 75 crystal purchase in the shop, there's a pop-up double-confirm. When you risk losing substantial parts of the only valuable game currency, there is none. Go figure.

You should always keep an eye on how much crystals you have when you're upgrading your equipment.

 

Say you started with 20,000 crystals, and the first upgrade you buy was 2500 crystals. Now you should have 17500 crystals left. If it doesn't say that at first, wait it out a couple minutes. Still not? Then refresh your page.

Like I said, its better to start being cautious than to blindly click away.

As if this weren't done by design!

If you haven't got enough crystals to buy the next Mk, the price will be highlighted in red. If you haven't got enough crystals to micro-upgrade, it won't. It's inconsistencies like that which they use to lull you into spending tankoins. If I go to a store and I need to be cautious as hell so they do not fraud me, that says a lot about the store. It's just bad business practice. And I do not know where you have you ideas of caution from, but I'm sorry, I live in a country where if you trick a costumer into doing things, that's extremely offensive and unethical.  And I'm looking at this here, and if it is at all a model of how you can allow yourself to treat customers in other societies, I'm learning a lot about other regions of the world.

By the way, by reading this you have just entered a non-revocable contract to give me half your monthly earnings. Should have been more careful.

I contacted the support team, and thankfully got them back.

This,

That's why you should be always careful with any purchases, because you can easily lose Tankoins or crystals you've hardly been working for ( or having them bought).
