You would expect when a business makes a promise or commitment to its customer base that they follow through with their promises. Simply for the security and longevity of their success you would expect no less.
Lets look at an example.
Russian Cookies LLC. I don’t know if this is a company, but for the sake of this example, it is now. Russian Cookies sells, you guessed it, Cookies. Not just any cookies though. Russian Cookies sells cookies with HUGE chocolate chips. I mean massive! They promise to sell you a cookie with the most chocolate and bang for your buck
Their signage reads ‘ MASSIVE chocolate CHIPS, Wheres the cookie?’ Below the sign there is a guarantee. ‘ We promise you YOUR cookie is not just a cookie, but mostly chocolate’
Now these cookies are pricey. However, no one else sells cookies like this and your getting tons of extra goodies in them. So you decide to spend your money and buy a cookie. After your transaction the guy at the counter yells “WAIT!” He reaches over and takes your cookie and swaps it out with a cookie with very little chocolate. In fact, their are massive raisins in this cookie.
You begin to complain. You explain that you read the sign and expected to get what you paid for. They guy behind the counter starts to insult you by trolling you with comments.
So simply put, no mater the promise a company makes, you expect to get what you pay for. You would also expect that if a company makes a statement about its promises, it should keep them. Would you ever buy a cookie from Russian Cookies?
If you answer is no, then why do people keep spending money with Wargaming?
M6A2E1: “This tank will be only available in this pre-order package and it will never ever be sold again” – WG CEO Viktor
“Chinese TDs will be released exclusively for the Chinese server, in other regions THEY WILL NOT COME” © Anton Pankov, 6 March 2017
Regarding the Chinese branch – OK, it wasn’t originally planned, but we had a lot of players requesting in all regions “Please add this content to the game for everyone”
“We will not introduce the Waffentrager auf E 100 back again. We are not looking forward to such a goal” © Daniel Parashchyna (Murazor) and Vyacheslav Makarov, communicating with the players in December 2016 at an exhibition in Moscow.
On the Waffenträger auf E 100 – For China it will come as a premium. Other regions won’t be affected.
No mater how you shake it, these guys just spit out statements and retract on the intent of them buy doing the fucking opposite. These statements about not adding content makes the value of said content go up. Such as the M6A2E1. The value of this tank was defined by its exclusiveness. Take that away by introducing it to the game at a later date, then you lied and devalued someones cookies.
Stop buying Wargaming’s cookies
Meat
Yep. They’ve done that shit for a long time. Say one thing, do the opposite. The biggest for me is that bullshit reply you get from customer service when they say, “We’ve taken action” and they haven’t done a single fucking thing.
The company is based on nothing but lies at this stage of the game.
It is my understanding that they don’t have much control over what they offer in China. From what I’ve heard, China makes the rules there, not Wargaming. What China wants, China gets.
And why is that so in China ? And not so in the NA ?
The Chinese government controls everything there. They allow you in only if you do exactly what they tell you to do. If they tell you, “Give our server every tank you ever make, we want it all” then you do it or they kick you out of their country and block you so you can never do business there again.
Well now, “Gee, that sounds like they have a bit of spine there?” “Kinda wish we had a spine like that here in the USA” You know if we had a spine like that behind a so called “Democracy” which is supposed to be a leader of the free world, which stood up for the good of it’s citizens, consumers, and the righteous things in the world, and the things we are supposed to be doing (which we expouse ourselves upons supposedly), Well, I guess Putin would be getting his ass handed to him right now in some kind of way, Trump would not have arrived in office to begin with, Corporations would not be calling shots like they are right now in so many facets around the world an in this country etc.
Just use your imagination on so many problems that would not be happening right now if we had some of that spine at home and abroad…. You can only dream of the possibilities. But, then on the other hand it does tell you who is really running things here at home, doesn’t it?
The Chinese don’t sell themselves out for a dollar because they know they don’t have to.
This fucking country will sell their own mother down the river if it means they can make a buck off it. That’s why China is winning.
Came, saw, laughed my ass off at the “Hall of Shame” posts.
Thanks 🙂
You’re welcome. We aim to please. 😉
There’s no excuse for WarGaming selling the M6A2E1. I don’t think they ever even compensated their original owners in any way.
However, as for the Chinese TD’s – It was not exclusive in the sense of an exclusive agreement, but WG had thought that it would just be the Chinese server doing their own thing. They didn’t expect players to ask for the tanks so much (Even though they’re rarely played now that they’re released). So it wasn’t an actual promise they had made not to release Chinese TD’s, it was just unplanned for other servers at the time.
The WT auf E-100 is not WG’s doing, it’s Kong’s. They’re the Chinese company running WoT in China, and they do whatever the hell they want. They even sell CW reward tanks.
They didn’t expect for players of the same fucking game to want access to the same fucking tanks?
Seriously?
I’m sorry man, but how fucking stupid are you? It’s the SAME GAME. When people playing THE SAME GAME have access to things that other people PLAYING THE SAME GAME do not, then you had to KNOW you were creating a shit storm.
If you didn’t, you’re the greatest patent dumbass in the history of gaming.
The simple fact is that Wargaming are so fucking greedy they’ll throw their entire player base under the fucking bus so they can get money from China. That’s EXACTLY what they did.
You appear to have missed one:
This game is, according to their own link: World of Tanks | Epic Online Tank Game | Play for Free
and yet… the new TD Premium, the AMX Cda 105, is only available for the first week of sale to those players who have a Premium account.
The link can only be accessed at this time if you have a Premium account: https://na.wargaming…/specials/4805/
You have GOT to be FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!
So now you have to spend money in order to be able to spend money? That’s the most fucked up, highway robbery bullshit I’ve ever heard of!
Yes – me thinks that they are getting desperate.
That goes way beyond desperate. They’ve been desperate for a while. They’ve moved on to full blown highway robbery.
Well it appears that in WG’s usual style, things may not have gone according to plan as a number of players are unable to access it:
http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/558053-so-wg-na-release-for-new-prem-td/
Their totally fucked up !! This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they indebt up to their EYE BALLS, and victor is getting pressure on from his loan sharks in the Cyprus Mafia ! Or Hellenic Bank and his pals are giving him some blow back!
But, yes that is highway robbery !!!!
The best the NA could do would be to just stop buying things period. Don’t buy the shit !!
How much more difficult to play that French TD with the tier 8 Match Maker being broken…
No fixes = no money from us then.
The Chinese government cares? Are you serious? 1. Wargaming does not own their own game in China because of crony capitalism. 2. The Chinese don’t allow a crony company to have half a game they had no part in developing for love of mankind, they surveil it. Too much time playing lowers your social credit score. They also look for anti-government sentiment as well. I can only assume people lionizing China here have never lived or worked there. What do you think Laogai means? It certainly doesn’t mean “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” or “China loves its citizens.”

Insurrectional_Leftist – you have clearly defined yourself as one serious communist. Why, all of a sudden, is it Trump’s fault that the NA does not control the game policy? Let’s see, how old is this game? How long has Trump been in office now? Oh wait, you mean to tell me that Obama had total control over Wargaming’s WOT policy while he was in office?
Sometimes idiots attempt to use every opportunity to bash a President they don’t like here. Sorry sfb, this is not your arena for political bashing.
He didn’t blame Trump for anything, dipshit. Learn to read. He simply said he wondered why the States didn’t stand up to companies like China does and that if we stood up for things that were right Trump would never have been elected to begin with.
I think that’s the issue. Seems the voters stood up for what was right and just picked the lesser of the two evils.
Need to lose the career politicians and get experts with real knowledge in offices.
But trump types are just as bad as politicians.
@ WolfAttack ( ? ) Yea, and sometimes idiots should should use reading comprehension and context too. No, sometimes people who live in a free democracy, do have the opportunity to question, point out, and to speak out against the president and congress in charge 24/hrs. a which has a 1st amendment; however seems to exist only when a democratic president is in the white house, and “not” when a “Donald Trump” is in the white house. You have defined yourself as another Trump Rube, that can’t seem to your ore’s straight between capitalism and democracy apparently. All I was pointing out is that “We as in the U.S. and our government etc. didn’t stand up against big corporate over reach, which is destroying the country we used to know.” We have turned into a Corporate-Fascist $ state, that allows billionaires to trample democracy into the dirt !!” That’s what’s enslaving everyone in this country, Oligrach billionaries (for ex: The Koch Bros, types like Donald Trump). Are you sure you know the difference between Socialism? Communism? or Marxism? ( and don’t even try to go with the foolish answer “their the same.”) I doubt it, cause you don’t know the difference between capitalism, or democracy either. Are you kidding? Do you know how badly this site could go after Trump if it really wanted to? And how could you blame anyone?

This kinda popped up in my mind when I was reading his post up above earlier. WolfAttack seems to be in this mindset I believe? 🙂
