Play whatever is more fun for you, nobody is judging you.
But what I find funny are the people who think WoT is some belorussian game from hell and AW the ultimate game. People don't see that AW isn't even in open beta, there will be a lot more monetizing features added (or else what's the point?) and the more players you get the bigger the problems will be. I've been in alpha and beta for WoWs, at any point I could have bragged how there's no monetizing, everything is free, grind is quick, everyone is equal and the playerbase is skilled.
But that would be a huge lie sine I knew there would be premium ships and gold (again, I don't have a problem with that, that's the point of bussines), grinding would become much longer (in alpha and beta we had only 20% of the grind for testing purposes), people would start playing like complete idiots (in alpha you pretty much knew everyone if you visited the forum) and issues would arise.
When Jingles posted first video of arty in AW every single person was going on how AW solved the arty problem and WG is stupid, that WoT will die out. I made a comment back then that between a few interesting mechanics the arty problem hasn't been solved at all, you just made it to resemble FV304 and constantly click players, same level of annoyance ensured. And naturally everyone bashed me because of it...
I'd rather wait another year when (and if) AW gets a good playerbase to judge between two games, decide which one is better and why.

I see very few actually know what f2p is and how it profits the game. W/e u say, League of Legends has kicked the crapout of your argument.
That depends on what you consider F2P. Personally I think WoT is one of the most fair games out there with some great solutions. Keeping players at mid tiers to grind credits and premium tanks that are worse than normal ones while still providing you with benefits.
But of course some people will complain that premium account is P2W, that you can grind faster, spend less time playing stock, use more premium ammo or whatnot. But honestly, compared to some games where paid users have clear advantage while actually playing, P2W element in WoT is pretty minor.
So unless you're going to prove me that you're able to run a grocery store while giving away everything for free I don't see your point.
