Cox internet really lives up to its name
i pity anyone that spends money on this crap, or indeed that thinks anything they do is worth investing effort in to. you still end up surrounded by idiots with no idea what the hell they are doing!
And players that complain about all the other players and tell them that they are idiots!
People spend money on hobbies that bring them pleasure.
If you feel superior to everyone who invests in a hobby, great.
@@j_taylor People choosing to waste their own money, fine. But enough people waste their money on pixel rewards, and Wargaming believes it’s a strategy to continue using and pissing off a significant segment of the rest of the player community, leading to an overall loss of income on their part.
Having a Gachapon mechanic for a Japanese holiday event kinda, checks out
most gacha games, at least the ones i play a way cheaper and more fair than world of warships^^
@@kirinrias6912 so far I did pull Maya for free though
@@oxishimaruxo Well it’s a great little ship.
but it lack sexy protagonist XD
It’s one of the most blatant examples of fomo gambling I’ve seen in gaming so far. Pretty despicable while also being ridiculously bad value.
it’s absolutely digraceful, not spending a dime on that shit. Beforehand, as a collector/whale you at least had the ability to get a new ship more easily since you already had everything else, as Sealord explained. But now that they even took out that option, you can’t get more predatory and anti-consumer than this.
@@saiyajinog7424 I don’t like what they’re doing either, but this is far from the worst I have seen from a company. They haven’t locked any game features behind these purchases.
As for predatory, go visit a “buy here pay here” car dealer some day. You’ll be gobsmacked.
Dumb whales keep it going. Hate the players, not the game. Fool and his money are parted
@@LAstinksofFredrickJones my aunt used to tell me that same thing.
Michael. A fool and his money are soon parted. Great advice for life.
I do agree.
WoWs is promoting “gambling” to try to win ships especially if the players have to buy doubloons.
LOL.
0.01% (less than 1%) chance of getting the premium Tier 9 ship!
The funny thing is, T9s are already ridiculously expensive and people would buy this one regardless.
They don’t need to do this bullshit to make lots of money, but I guess enough people will throw their wallets at it to make this even more profitable.
They must be raking it in, given Chikuma is more or less a clone of an existing ship in game, so minimal art department budget required for this ship.
A small minority with more money than sense/gambling problems probably fund this game nowerdays.

I find my “free” premium Tier 10 earns more than my “free” premium Tier 9. Maybe it’s just me.
i used up my free battlepass tokens and just randomly pulled a hayate : D. for me this event was quite good…
Same with me lol
With only the first free 1000 Tokens, I received the Chikuma II and the Japanese Lacquer camo for Yamato. Seems to be very lucky with the supposed 1.8% drop chance for both of them.
How did you get 1k tokens for free? The temporary battle pass is still in progress and I have only received a few hundred.
I only got 400 free tokens, wth
You only get 400 for free
@@Psycogenius There was Twitch mission giving you extra golden tokens…
I got hyuga. I like it
I was one of the people who’s premium event pass refunded all the dubs required to get it, so I did. That netted me 1000 free golden tokens. Spent them at the wharf. Got common stuff and 300 more token. THOSE got me the Chikuma II (the regular one) so I got it for free. Pretty happy with that. Doesn’t invalidate what SLM is saying. Pretty bad event unless you get lucky.
Last time wg went to far with this people reported them to their local government and media and it got enough attention to worry them
That needs to happen again, some serious action should be taken, this event is literally gambling
@@elliottbriggs3385 Yup, here in the US we need to contact our States’ Attorney Generals, last time Hawaii took notice and action.
The Wishing Wharf will only compensate you for an item (ship or camo) with tokens ONE time for that item. After receiving compensation once, that item will then be removed from the pool.
Still, I did not like that this mechanic was implemented and am afraid they are testing it for future use.
Yea can’t wait to see this shit in this year’s santa crates
Thing is it seems the 1k token whammy is for each duplicate so if you already have the Maya and Hyuga let’s say I’m pretty sure that’s 2 whammies.
Seriously if they’d removed the whammies and put a 200 token drop in the common slot this event wouldn’t be utter crud… but WG had to go for the gold…
I just realize they added in the ship cameos to the quote rare drop guarantees” with the ships. Everybody wants to fucking ships not the goddamn cameos and they know this they just fuck you over. I’m so pissed off because I got three cameos I wanna fucking ship.
We realized they were too generous with the free Wisconsin for player who already have W.Virginia, so now we get the middle finger
mostly wisc was cheap to “made” and well to lower player defence agaisnt they monetisation
Guess I can count myself lucky to be spared this frustration.
Those type of lootboxes are considered illegal here, so the entire event doesn’t apply. I can earn the tokens, but there’s nothing to spend it on.
But I dont feel WG is the only company that’s leaning more and more into this type of fomo.
I used only those BP golden tokens. Got also some green and blue boosters.
If I finish all possible premium BP extra levels, I would get assured reward👉 Green dragon perma camo 👍 (got 2×50 tokens back, you getting mostly 25 back)
No cash into 1hand bandit, lol.
Perma camos are pretty common rewards now, you can get plenty different of them for credits too. (so another reason for big no to this “event”)
Btw I tried luck for Wiesbaden just 30K coal and total 375 doubs. Got only 3? Black, white, red” pema camos. It will fit some of my german ship. No big loss.
I’ve learned the hard way not to waste resources on some of these events. I have enough premium ships in my port that I never play as it is, and sometimes it’s in a tech line I don’t like playing. Some, sure, because it’s a historic ship I want (yes, I will drop money for the Johnston), but others, like this, I’ll take the “free” tokens and once they’re gone, that’s it.
Christmas crates is all I take part in now… they got too money hungry so i stopped spending.
The Wishing Wharf has 1, yes ONE, thing going for it; you can actually take part without spending any money at all, It won’t get you very far but at least you can take part. It’s a bit like one of those random competitions a certain burger chain partakes in (as well as many other companies) with the “No Purchase Required” moniker. Actually the non ship rewards are quite decent with quite a few Rare and Special Bonuses available. Hving recently had my birthday and doubled up on Doubs, I did splurge a few of those “free” ones back but not many as Chikuma II holds no interest to me whatsoever and I have all the other ships. That said I was mighty pissed off with the compensaion for Mysore in last patch’s Event Pass. I got almost as many Community Tokens from clicking “Participate” buttons as I did for Mysore; should have been 3,600 CT not 360 CT – that was an insult imo.
Totally agree, this is just straight up gambling. Something I noticed to though is if you view both the Chikuma II and the golden versions in port, the golden one for some reason has better concealment.
If that’s actually correct and not a bug that’s pretty sketchy.
They did actually clarify that the stat card was incorrect and the stats for both ships were the same (I believe they both had the better concealment of the golden)
Thank you for the video. Low-quality and/or over-priced internet is the price many people pay to live in a more rural area. There are a great many days I would make that trade in a heart-beat! On the event I only used my free tokens and pulled a Maya on the sixth try.
Even Gaijin could not reach this level of greed by literally adding a new ship, which btw is just a copy paste and they put no effort into creating it beside coding its new stats, and let the script decide whether you spending enough money to deserve the ship or not.
They are soooooo fcking deseperate to make their last remaining players pay more money than just buying small amount of stuff like premium time of doubloons, they want more !!!
