You can pay for cosmetics, premium ships, and MMO-style resource and experience boosters, but up until recently, loot boxes were unheard of. World of Warships is ostensibly a free-to-play game. Unfortunately, some games rely on these gambling mechanics to make their publishers a ton of money, which might explain the latest controversy surrounding World of Warships. not in time, IMO.Although some publishers will say differently, the consensus is that buying loot boxes in a video game is the same as going to a casino to gamble. Cause the one thing you don't want to end up doing is having to pay for all the boosters and anything extra.Īlso, trying to complete the directives without Gorizia. So you try to calculate whether to buy the boosters, or just the directives and pay either the stage III or stage IV price. If you do fall short, and still want the ship, you will need to pay the additional 15k doubloon in addition to the 24k you already spent on the boosters. It is (now) clear the 3 premium boosters won't be enough on their own, it is also clear you will need to do the first 3 directives quickly enough in order not to fall just a million or so points short of the goal. You end up tangled in skewed mathematical calculations there. it’s really dirty.Īh, matey, but that's the beauty of it. you will either waste them or be forced to pay additional doubloons to save your investment. So don’t spend 24k doubloons if you’re not sure if you can do the requirements in time. And although not too hard you need to invest time (depends if you have flags, camo, premium time and Gorizia) Yes, and it has been made clear by WG (although a bit late) that you still need to finish the first 3 directives in a timely fashion to add the token boosters in time. Because there is a ton of evidence, no matter how much you edit and backtrack on your posts and videos and announcements. I really do hope that people in more civilised and better regulated countries around the world will actually take legal action against the lot of you. As a matter of fact, I've made sure to post on FB about this, warned friends that USED TO play World of Warships, and even reactivated my twitter to spread the word a bit. Oh, and next time you have that funny little survey or whatever you call it, asking "would you recommend this to your friends" you can be sure as hell I will do exactly the opposite. I can now safely tell you, after several thousands of euros thrown at Wargaming in past, I am not spending a single Euro, Dollar or whatever currency you'd accept on any Wargaming product in any foreseeable future, or at least until I see some heads flying and some serious actions from Wargaming to actually fix this scam and false advertising fiasco. This last bit of scamming really makes me sick of you, your employers, your product, your policies, and most of all, your condescending hypocritical attitude. That however does not remove even the slightest bit of my disgust for Wargaming as a whole as result of this event. I mean, that I actually took this event without a grain of salt, I am disappointed first and foremost with myself. The smuglord is giggling at all the people who thought this was a genuine token of good will from I ask for a real money refund of all my investment into game? I know I am a gullible idiot.
