it must have something to do with viewing this on my phone, my post disappeared but I can see it again now.

 

Does anyone know why we're not getting the Berlin package as it looks very it looks very interesting and of better quality than what is on offer on the European server

 

just like the 5x offer for 59€ on the RU server we'll never see this one. The reason is simple "tethered to market needs".

 

or rather: strong markets don't need super interesting offers to get money from as even the current EU offers are most likely selling way better than the NA and RU packages do. This is why those markets get incentivized with other offers. I actually think the RU offer is the most interesting one (price to what you get) even for those who have the tanks already and are just looking for some new crews (and I think it even included the 15 missions for wins)

Yes, but.. isn't the RU server a very stronk market for WG?

 

I don't know about how others feel about this but getting constantly slighted due to 'market needs' or whatever discourages me from playing, especially when I am suffering from poor motivation because of other in game related reasons.

a very high player count doesn't also make a strong market. From revenue perspective EU surpasses RU, NA and the WG owned Asia server (there is a CHN server which is not run by WG where you can buy anything and some tanks are locked behind 1k€ paywall --- if your accumulated total purchases weren't above that number you couldn't buy tank XYZ that came out for instance --- and no, not joking. Don't remember which one it was, but one of them is even in a video of dezgamers I think - just google most expensive tank Dezgamers or so on youtube ) combined (as far as I remember the last publicly available numbers - have to check if I saved the link, if so I'll share it).

 

So it is a massive market from player count but not profitability wise . ((you can also accredit it to Russian bias if you want to . not fully accurate, but also not completely wrong *grin* ))
