Its getting fustrating to have only 2-3 special offer vehicles at the shop.The previous offers were even more of a joke if u consider the fact that stg is already in the current shop's rotation.Now we only have 3 vehicles including the weekly offer.On the other side the americans have 10 i repeat 10 special offers available at their shop.Its freaking ridiculus to open the shop every week and see vehicles that are already in the normal rotation be sold either as collector's items or as special offer.   https://na.wargaming...p/wot/vehicles/

NA server has been on life support for years. Events and more rare offers are the only thing keeping it alive. Inc giving out rentals for everything on sale so the MM is messed up. I'm fine with it being... less that way here tbh.

Low player count in NA, try every trick to keep them playing.

Are you really trying to influence people to stop them from spending money on a game just because you have a personal issue against the game (even though you still support it by actively playing)? That's a bit sus...

I agree, they had the lefh on sale by itself also last week

Well, we don't want to spoil you too much. Black Friday and the Advent calendar is coming. I suspect there will be plenty to waste on then if not today, don't you worry.

They're only overpriced if nobody buys them and judging by how quickly they got snapped up the last times WG undercharged.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the EU  not having a presidential election

Maybe its an idea to make an NA account. Then their servers have 1 more player and you can choose from more vehicles. Everyone happy

Indeed. As what is overpriced is ofc a subjective view from person to person. But when you see some BM stuff hardly selling 1000 out of the 15 000 units they had in 24 hours like the 3d skins. But other stuff goes in less than 15 seconds with 20 000 units for a bigger price. If people feel it's worth it, it will sell regardless of price. That said, I've yet to see any of the new 3D skins they just sold for the Russian high tiers out in the wild. They were nice, but not worth that price for me.

Me neither, they were a bit pricy. But then maybe WG are experimenting to see what they can get away with? After all, there's nothing stopping them offering them again with a "special discount this weekend only!"

Much like they are doing with the PVE events of late and the cooldowns. They get easier with it for each event since Homefront IMO. So they are finding where the line is going there too at some point I guess.

There are too many items on sale and specials, used to be an occasional thing. Just dilutes the game and grind somewhat.

[DADDY_Sensation]

They're offering tanks that all have been on sale at least 5 times if not more this year? lol

agree, NA Server was always better ref. prem shop… e25 for 25 bucks on NA some weeks ago, leFhb , and other interesting stuff… all around 25 bucks… would be nice, if there would be only ONE prem shop for ALL... 

[Cobra6]

Due to the indirect Russian Bias (RU tanks being very good all rounders on the important tiers) the game never really came off the ground properly in the US and has been declining ever since.

WG needs to shove as much specials, offers, gifts etc. to the US players in an attempt to keep the game alive there.

 

Here on the EU cluster, since we are the biggest net payers for WG, they don't need to go through the same effort, as a matter of fact it would hurt them if we got more as we'd spend less.

 

Janky as this is, it makes financial sense.

Yep that's the reason, low player numbers = discounts

 

NA has for a long time been suffering from low player numbers 

 

Maybe its a cultural thing as  WOT doesn't seem very popular in the America's
