If you're new you haven't encountered the grind at all.

Wow, you didn´t get it, or ? The progress is horrible slow without money and teh cost to speed it up with money is too high. I hear that constantly and i feel the same. This game is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when it comes to monetization.

If it gets to frustrating for you Mr.Sir. just leave it. It doesn´t get better, quite the opposite, it gets worse the further you get in the game.

i got to top tier without premium.........

yes
but to be fair, I got my hands on PUMA in 4 days f2p (playing around 3 hours per day, I'm a student and there is quarantine so I guess I have the time)

The issue isnt entirely about monetisation.

The ingame economy(both RP/SL) seems based around needing a certain skill level to progress at a reasonable speed and to always have SL. Having premium etc can help that. Certain vehicles are a bit of a joke even with premium. But good luck to those that are below average in skill and F2P.

Get a years worth of premium when it goes for 50% off. Best investment you can make in the game and it won't break the bank.

Otherwise, stop focusing on getting to top tier and enjoy each tier for what it is.

I think level 1 premium tanks cost like 250 GE (about $3.00) You can earn free premium things by doing the Battle pass and other events. I have 11 various premium aircraft/ground naval earned through events and 3 ships you can only get through your squadron via activity.
These cheap premiums along with a premium account help you grind, and earn lions to pay for your new vehicles as you earn them.
I understand F2P for people too young to have a credit card but really players should try to give just a little support to keep things running. With zero income the game would have been gone long ago.

The progression system is designed to push you into spending money.

I liken it to a shyster tradesman. I had to deal with a few of these myself and they carry the same mentality as Gaijin.

Me: You've done that wrong.
Shyster: Well I'll need more money to fix it...
Me: You ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up in the first place...
Shyster: Yeah but you're paying for the labour now.
Me: You're fired, ♥♥♥♥ off.

This, and the daily complaint about airplanes in tank battles.

So very true.

If it was too easy to grind the game would not be fun, now when you finally grinded a vehicle and can buy it it feels so awarding. As a game should be

[SirLlamaGeddon]

It doesn't feel rewarding to *buy* any tank as you have to research another full tank via modifications.... at least fix that ♥♥♥♥. Game is stuck on the past of mobile gaming instead of PC gaming.

And you?

"Wow, you didn't get it" aswell : if you have time & the patience, you don't have to buy anything.
So yes, it's a free to play.
And you happy or unhappy about how it is working will be irrelevant.

Now, I'm pretty ok with you about that : the progress is horrible slow & I'm not very happy about the mechanics of their economical choices.

But it remains a free to play.

But horrible.

Etc.
