We now have people with less than 2k games playing T10 tanks and the mm is just screwed. After nine years play it's just getting laughable. Say I'm in a T8, playing for credits, I get shoved in a 10/9/8 mm with all three of my T10 team being tomatoes, what happens - we get crushed. Just lost 11/14 and stats in freefall.

When my premium time has ended I'm out. Congrats WG.

the issue is this, we all get the same teams everyone else and the longer a game is out the bigger the gap between new players and veterans. Just human nature. What I have done is not care about stats anymore as it was stressing me out, now I just platoon and play for fun.I remind myself its just a game and sometimes its funny when you get rolfstomed

Now? It's been like that for years. It's not a trend that started recently tbh. Just as there are people with 0K battles in tier 8 premiums when you are top tier.

Well if WG made it any easier to progress, people would start doing speedruns of this game in the tier10% category.

It's a RANDOM BATTLE ​scenario, anything goes. Blame WG for encouraging players to skip tiers to reach the golden goose, tier 10.

 

The player base got worse, but not because of the aforementioned reasons. It was thanks to people such as yourself.

I love playing randoms in a gradually degrading environment and it is not just an echo of the weekend.

2k players in tier 10 vehicles are sooooo jucy!

This is inevitable when a game gets dumbed down for a wider audience.

Less realism, more Bubbas.

WG lost more than half of their playerbase after they started to launch steel wall tanks and open premium shells for everyone. And day by day we can count newly registered accounts as basicly some of same players. Same as mine accouny. I am not new. I still suck at this game, but dang...more and more new registered accounts are not new players, but old players. With WG manners they wont get more players. Or maybe they dont care, cause players in Russia server are feeding their wallets.

OK - but you are over your averages for the last 7 days and -0.01% of your overall Win rate for the last 30 days.

 

Premium time isn't needed, especially with all the free premium time they throw at us now.

with a decent starter premium code

and referral program with no further use of $$ it should be possible within 48h

PPls playing arties and scouts are way more detrimental to the mm than ppls with 2k games getting their first tier 10.

Teams are random so you get to babysit the tomato top tiers just as often as the other team does so if you're still losing games the problem is your end.

There still is a different in being the preverbial tomato (by virtue of not having the experience) or on occasion acting like one just to... Be different.

Its like saxsan says, if the goal is fun. Try to go shotgun with arty, at least once.

Its great when some low HP tryhard comes round a corner or from behind his rock and you're there with kleiner-hansel-cannon blasting face wide open.

A neat experience I had once, on empire no less.

Or... Just for the sake of it, load full HE on a high cal weapon... Some day are made great with shenanigans like that.

Exactly,

 

Im not a new player but,

 

 

A new/reset accounts gets a tier 6 for completing the training missions along with a couple of premium rental tanks, plus with the new battle pass system and the ability to skip 20 levels. I got enough blueprints to skip the t28, T95 T110E3 line in around 30 hours

 

It was nice to have my fave Tier 10 in such a short period of time!

 

Still it wasn't cheap but easily doable and a better player could do so in even less time

 

The game as others have mentioned above is quite old now and you have regular players with 9-10 years experience over a new player or returning player.

 

The MM is random meaning that you get good and bad evenly distributed after enough games.

 

I actually think the ease of getting to tier 10 is in fact a good thing as there are now so many newbs to farm its simply sublime yesterday for instance my 2nd game in my newly acquired T62A which everyone said was lameness was in fact lovely the enemy left the entire flank on lakeville completely exposed not one dude thought to go to the valley.

 

Myself and a Polish heavy tank punished their team badly for their silliness

 

So it cuts both ways.

 

Try to forget about winning so much it just leads to frustration and ultimately you are powerless to prevent such losses, you can only focus on your own performance 

 

Taking a year out of the game made me realise this, I take the game far less seriously and during Covid 19 I think we need to be a little bit more understanding to returning and newer players.
