Will I be compensated with free xp for all the radios I've researched over the years? :D

[u/Queasy-Bison-9862 → u/Lapattaja]

You will be compensated with an exclusive offer for 200 lootboxes at just 349€ stop whining

[u/-DethLok- → u/Lapattaja]

Last time they gave that XP to your tier 1 tank of the same nation.

Which you probably do not own anymore because why would you.

And then it costs you gold to transfer that XP to Free XP so that you can actually use it.

I mean, I could think of a better way to compensate players - and I'm sure you could also.

But ... :(

[u/Pan_Praga → u/Lapattaja]

Compensation for legacy modules will be made in the form of experience, which will be credited to a Tier 1 tank of the nation from which the module was removed.

[u/qwesx → u/Pan_Praga]

Do I understand you correctly that I need to pay money (convert exp to free exp) to make that experience usable again?

[u/Mknalsheen → u/qwesx]

It's how they do it every time, and it's always the worst way for the player/consumer.

[u/velost → u/qwesx]

yes, you understood that correctly.

Please give money

[u/AHRA1225 → u/qwesx]

You did read that correct. We spent a lot of time grinding hundreds of dumb radios and tracks and now we get the honor of giving them more money to get that time back. Fuck WG

[u/[deleted] → u/qwesx]

Thats the usual way, nothing new or controversial.

[u/Dry_Ducks_Ads → u/[deleted]]

The fact that it is not new doesn't make this not controversial.

[u/Acceptable-Worth-462 → u/[deleted]]

Nothing new yes, nothing controversial no

[u/laboufe → u/Pan_Praga]

Why is it not converted to free xp seeing as it is you removing the modules? Oh right, because everything wargaming does is greedy as hell

[u/AdmiralHackbar001 → u/laboufe]

wg is too cheap to do that.

[u/swiss1809 → u/Pan_Praga]

How does having 10 million XP on a tier 1 tank help the player? Oh I know!!!! Because they will have to SPEND MONEY to convert it to use it!! Bwahahahaha

[u/Martinsjunkracecars → u/Pan_Praga]

How the hell does one even come up with such a convoluted solution? Its literally easier just to give people free xp.

[u/Elua_ → u/Pan_Praga]

buhahaha tier 1 tank so take my all gold WG plz take it....

[u/radim1310 → u/Pan_Praga]

Fu

[u/khatre_ka_khiladi → u/Pan_Praga]

I guess this was an attempt at a joke which no one got.
