The crate bonanza that is going on distills for me the new direction that WG is taking. We saw the Helsing and Drac, the 120-1-ft, the Smasher. And at X, the t22.
It looks to me that WG are creating op tanks and selling them at a premium, but limiting the numbers that are purchased, generally through crates. This way they can sell tanks, sometimes costing hundreds of dollars, while keeping the number of those tanks low and reducing the p2w impact in the game.
By “op” I mean; tanks that are easy to win with or that have an insane ceiling (Drac is not easy, but the ceiling is huge). For these tanks, they perform beyond their tier for a player. Doing more damage than all the other tanks at that tier for them.
I see this as a way for WG to make a huge amount of money, which isn’t a bad thing. My personal thought is that we are starting to see this bleed over into a larger number of matches as more op’s get released. This will increase power creep.
Agree/disagree? Thoughts?
