I'm sorry about the ranty post. But it's daft seeing people go mad about dumping millions of credits into tanks.
You need to be up at stupid o'clock in the morning. If you've got a job or work nightshift, go fuck yourself.
Limited numbers of pixel tanks? C'mon, what's this about? Rarity = value. But when you control the rarity it's just a bit much.
Bidding for tanks were once in the tech tree? the AFK Panther should have been a nice reward tank. Instead of bidding millions of credits to just get a tank that was once in the tech tree.
And yes, I know credits aren't real money. But is there many free to play players who have 10+million credits sitting in their game? No, most would have been ground out using premium time, consumables and boosters, bought with real money most of the time. It's essentially Gold by proxy.
Just let us but the damn tanks at a normal time and not sume time limited bullshit bidding event.
