I also have played this game for 6 years & will very shortly delete this game from my PC. The game is not bad, but it would do a lot better if it didn't have idiot management controlling it. Prejudices & biases are everywhere in this game, especially if you decide to play artillery units instead of their constant "flavor of the week" new tanks. They are forever coming out with something with thicker armor or faster speeds so that the tank that was purchased with mommy's credit card last month can no longer fairly compete in matches. Wargaming is counting on the fact that you will want revenge for getting your butt handed to you by experienced players. It takes months to build up or "grind" a vehicle to the point of where you're nothing more than just another WoT cash grab client. It takes even longer than that if you don't get sucked in to paying for a premium account. Then there's the team matchmaking you are victimized by that puts you into a game where your vehicle's shells can't even penetrate enemy armor. They try to BS everyone into believing that cheating can't happen in this game. Really? Then why do they even have a "fair play" policy that threatens rarely imposed bans on those who can still use illegal mods? Save your time, money & your sanity by steering clear of these crooks. Sending an email to their support calling them out on any of their questionable game changes or practices is totally useless. They'll tell you that they're sorry you have such a negative opinion about their game even after I've watched what they've consistently done for the past 6 years. Guaranteed nothing positive will happen unless it increases their financial bottom line. Play for free? Just another scam!
