Hi,

I am in this game for Fun & a laugh.. But what spoils things is that  many advertise & or recruit whilst in Battle..... Why this? Doe we not have forums here for that & there is the PM service..

So what I am suggesting is that Folks keep recruiting for clans from Battle screens  & do it in other methods.. We have done this  in our clan & have avoided advertising for our clan recruiting etc from the battle screens.. I would think that it would be a half good gesture on all behalf's.. If we were to have all clans advertising in battles it would be insane.. Do you not agree?


P.S.  If you disagree with my suggestions fine, no hate stuffs... They will be ignored by myself.. & It would serve no purpose..

Personally as long as they follow the rules, i.e one recruitment message per game then I am fine with it.

QFT

Isn't clan advertising forbidden in battle chat?

Do it before the counter reaches zero, then it is ok by me

I think that the way of recruiting and getting into forum is a little weird, by WG. Hence the ad in in-game chat is ok by me. Think there are loads of people never visiting forum

It's allowed only if done once per 15 min and if its under 3 lines of text.

I do it for my clan its a effect of method I have picked up some loyal members this way I find it more effective than forum recruiting.

Uktanker dad plz stop using ur sons account or he's going to be angry  

If one does it in battle even once... THEN all could & is a distraction.. Besides, is there not a  place for that here on these forums.

well i atleast make fun of said recruitment methode because of the 3line restriction they get very creative ( read confusing and wrong)

Im more concerned about idiots with high tier tanks than some clanrecuitments*it on chat. And lets not talk about lemmings following these top tier recruiters...

Or is it because of chatting why these morons play like 3years old?

I really dont care about chat at all, you can mute a person if it annoys you.

I don't mind as long as it isn't a constant spam during the battle, but that's a different issue. What you are describing is a really minor social inconvenience. Far worse are highest tier tank owners camping at base for the entire match and calling you a noob when they finally die ;P

That I agree with.. But some of this could be down to the fact that you can lose credits  big time in battles... This is even worse now since the update where   most higher tier tanks can lose credits big time.. BUT for me that is not an excuse for someone calling others a noob when they hide & camp the entire battle...

I think there is a time and a place for a very quick one liner to advertise your clan, without it coming across as spam or bothering anyone.

I tend to do all my recruitment in the WOT forum, but occasionally when two or three of our guys have had a really good game and for example take down ten or more tanks between them and victory is assured, I have historically posted a very quick one liner saying we are recruiting.

Does it work?  In my experience not really, and there are much more effective ways of recruiting, to the extent that I don't actually bother doing it any more.

Compared to other online games WOT does not seem to be littered with same level of random in game clan spam advertising, and personally I hope it stays that way.  There is no shame however in taking a bow when your clan members perform really well and earn a good solid victory based on their platoon performance.

Totally random spamming just pisses people off and does a clans reputation no good, so in the long run it's counter productive.  That's my take anyway.
