War Thunder the grind simulator where you spend your life or life savings on virtual vehicles just to get a dopamine rush on attacking the D point.
Realistically speaking i've spent this much time in the game and im still not in top tier, nor jets or tanks in germany. You'd think i'd be on my 2nd nation or even 3rd if you ask a non thunderer player, but no sadly the grind is a tough bastard, it doesn't go down like a damn Ka-50 tryhard with daddy Vladdy's money. How about this Mr. Snail. I want you to consider these facts.
First of all:
1. When you grind a tank in each rank you have a certain % of RP and SL rewards. As you go up the ranks each vehicle is double the amount of RP and roughly double the SL price requirment than the previous one, yet the RP and SL % rewards are still ALMOST the same (10%~ roughly per rank) and it doesnt really accelarate the grind much.
2. Premium Account and Vehicles. They're supposed to be a trade an option that is intended to help people who are either invested in the game or dont have the time to invest in the game and want to go up the ranks faster quicker less time consuming AND money consuming methods. Yet it's again completely useless, as grinding them still takes considerable amount of time about half the amount of time i spent even a 3rd of my time spent is alot (300-400 hours)
3. Saying that "letting people get to top tier vehicles easily will make the game hard for them to learn the mechanics" is quite ironic, considering that people can buy packs or get them with GE and play it straight on. By making the vehicles at the top easier to grind it will make the skill levels more spread out. The people that ALREADY grind to the top will be competent enough to fight at top tier making the skill levels alot more even, compared to people who straight up buy the vehicles without having even grinded the first rank (as you see on reddit and youtube with incompetent noobs not knowing how to even use their vehicles).

I know this is a business and a game, but the grind itself is already LONG for people who do dedicate alot of their time in the game. So people who do not have the time to play the game for long periods of time, non-stop, are given the option of either leaving the game or paying to play. That means there's a larger amount of audience leaving than paying to play, that means less possible revenue. And after this statement that the War Thunder team has done, it will get a bad reputation as the people enjoy the game but despise the grind. We expect changes that will benefit both the audience and the business (which is possible considering the amount of traction the game gets on each unique vehicle updates).

I do not care that this took me a while to type this out. As this will give direction to people who want to know what we are displeased about and further aid understand what they will play or are already playing.



Hope our message is understood.

CS:GO Review
I'm rewriting my review for people to see what to expect when they press play, plus my previous review said that i recommended this, which i shouldn't have. Btw which at that time i reached to Master Guardian Elite solo with randoms.

Ok after coming back to the game, i realized that this game, is just purely pain. Your enemies could be hacking or way better than their ranks, most likely smurfs (im talking about people in silver playing better than Global, no joke, hasn't changed at all).
Then you got your teamates. You got people who are incompetent (How tf did that guy reach to Distinguished master guardian) literally play like they are using their mouse for the first time.
If you want to have fun, you can't you die to your enemy trying out fun strat because your enemy just happened to be right there and at the right moment EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Unless you queue up a game full of your own friends, you're only gonna remove one threat. But it's not too bad if you are playing to have fun with your friends, but expect that you're gonna lose and don't get mad at it, because your enemy will most likely smell like beer and booty hair.
Then you got the toxic dudes. THESEEE UNHOLY people of the bunch.
Didn't get your ace because you are hard carrying your team? You deserve a nice f you or some other insult in russian. When you stand up to yourself, you gonna have your game ruined with constant cockblocking. You can get kicked.....because of your profile picture. After i had over 40 kills in a comp match almost winning it, they kicked me in the last round.
You want to be an honest good guy, who wants to have a positive energy in their team, so they don't give up, don't lose hope. You try your best and try to distribute weapons to your team so the fighting the enemy would be easier......But.......the reality is tough. You will rarely get into proper matches. Unless your trust factor is high the competency of your teamates and the enemy being legit is dependent on it. You will only get bombarded with unluckiness, and bombarded and punished not sweating your ass off for every living moment.

This is...what Counter Strike Global Offensive is actually like. (Oh yeah i've forgotten to tell you guys about gambling your life savings on a couple of knives and stuff? not everyone can be lucky but do it at your own risk)
