World of Tanks

Okay, it's a amazing free game. I mean it is around 40-50GBs of free game. However, I've played for well over a year (I belive even two or so), and I can say I've not been a non-stop player. I more or less had random periods of time where I'd reluctantly play, then stop. I've reached the tier 10, for the E-100, yet can't even play as the tank because it breaks my bank for repair and ammo costs. I worked a year, and possibly two, in order to reach such milestone, and get virtually no satisfaction. Don't even get me started on the extreme grind times needed to move up tiers starting from tier six. Plus the artillery, one dang shot, and your toast. But, hey give it a try, just maybe buy premium, or a premium tank, because, unless you play non-stop for a year, you'll have to grind like this cheap guy, and recive little to no satisfaction.

The gameplay begins wonderfully, you start driving prototypes of early tanks, progress quickly through fast paced amd fun matches and then you hit the mid tiers. Thats when you really begin grinding. Once you reach the high tiers its too much of a pain to grind for Exp and silver without premium time. The balance on certain tanks and tank classes has needed to be fixed since game release. WG has been recently releasing premium vehicles that are equal to F2P vehicles in terms of power, for OUTRAGEOUS prices. I'll stop ranting, its a fun game, and if you take it seriously and semi-competitively it can be easy to spend too much money on it. Watch yourself.

Okay admittedly the game has some matchmaking and balancing issues. But considering how many tanks there is, its nearly impossible for it not to have those types of problems in moderation? Plus Wargaming is constantly releasing updates with FREE new content. I always see either little kids or they're equivalent complaining about having to purchase premium time to get anywhere, & normally something about prem tank prices also? I started & played the game for almost a year without either and made it into tier 8's on multiple tank lines before spending a penny. Its not pay to win in any way, if you wanna pay you'll save some time grinding xp and creds tho! My advice is just pick it and play, PLEASE learn the game mechanics b4 crying, and by then you'll know if this free 2 play game is your cup of tea before having spent any money in it. I personally play everyday if only to knock out a few daily multipliers and move on, but i do love it. Good ole trusty WoT keeps me around. Hope2Help✌

Played for over 1000 days, love the game and improving graphics. Matchmaking should be fixed if you would add in a player skill rating and match peoples skills plus tiers together.
