My Fellow Tankers......

 

Well the time has come for me to officially say good-bye.  WOT Blitz has run it's course for me.

 

After countless hours creating editing and producing music and videos, 100 podcast episodes, Club Wargaming, numerous contests/events and additional countless hours helping others, I just don't find any enjoyment in playing anymore.  To be honest I probably would have quit long ago if it wasn't for the priceless friendships I've made through this game.  I'd like to name all of the people who have made a difference in my life during my Blitz journey over the past 3 years but the list is to long and I'll undoubtedly forget to mention someone so I won't, and really I don't need to, you know who you are.

 

Some of you will wonder why I'm quitting after putting 3 years and over $3,000 CAD into this game so I'll give you the 3 MAIN reasons.

 

1. Everything has a lifespan - After 3 years I've done everything I wanted and accomplished all my goals in Blitz.  As I said above, I've been here for quite some time due 90% to the relationships I've formed through Blitz.

 

2. SPARE PARTS - Duck you WG, taking all my equipment away and replacing it with your spare parts system basically removed any desire I had to acquire new tanks.  Why would I?  To wait 3 months before they're fully equipped, no thanks.

And to those of you that say (including WG) "Oh you can just run tanks with no equipment"  Yeah? After running them with equipment for the past 2 years it's not and will never be the same, nor acceptable.  That change really hurt.

 

3. Wargaming's changes in staff and staff focus - In CWG we used to get gold to give away to players during contests/events. Let me restate that....NOT FOR OURSELVES BUT TO GIVE AWAY TO OTHER PLAYERS.  CC_Sly was an absolute BOSS when it came to support and communication in CWG.  In the past year Wargaming has removed the NA dedicated staff and the new mindset of the company is basically "You get nothing from us, you got to much in the past, you don't like it, to ducking bad."  They just don't care anymore.

 

I'm going to stay on Discord on both Thunderstorm Clan and The Bear's Den (my personal) servers so if any of you want to contact me you can do it there.

 

Now the other part of the news.....I'm still tanking!

 

Blitz was never about being mobile for me and historically I was always a console gamer so now I'm on WOT console on PS4!  It's so much better than Blitz IMO!  So if any of you play on PS4 feel free to add me....Lokeen75 is my IGN.

 

I'm sad to officially say good-bye but I also have no regrets.  I'm am thankful for the hours of fun this game has provided me and I could never put into words how lucky I am to have the truly amazing friends I've met through playing.

 

So maybe I'll see some of you on console, maybe we'll chat on discord or text but regardless......

I will actually buy a ps4 now that I have read this. Your and maybe three others really helped my focus in game and were the only helpful players here at the forums that weren't adolescent and immature about in game learning and playing together, I can only hope that we pays attention to players like you leaving because it's killing the game having players like you leave. Guess it's console time.

TBH there are a lot of similarities in console and Blitz, clearly as the latter is a "lite" version of the former, but WOT console is everything I always wanted Blitz to be!

Good luck Lokeen. Enjoy! Your contributions were always appreciated.
