That was probably before they realized people would buy them. But really, why do you care? If people want to spend money on a flag that gives a very small, temporary benefit...then let them waste there cash while you roll around in the money you didn't spend. 

[Mulletproof]

Wargaming is Wargaming. You should know better after the Murmansk debacle.

[Zim_Xero]

What is an acceptable boost to money ratio in a competitive online game?  

 

I would say the boost has to be so small to bottom line of match Win/Lose, that other players cannot be able to surely recognize it, where it exists.  Other than that, unlimited monetization could be sought for convenience, growth acceleration, and audio-visual eye candy.

 

If a game tries to monetize competitive advantages too much, it greatly risks abandonment by its players... unless the game is addictive even when you feel you have little chance to win.

[Judge_Doom]

Sounds like a good deal.

[Slyv]

If you listen to the replay they actually say all economic flags. I'm pretty sure they said it came with twenty five dragon flags as well.

I could honestly care less, I have plenty of flags...

What I do care about is WG flat out lying about things.. 

If it doesn't concern you, no problem, but for some reason, having a company lie to me just rubs me the wrong way....

And they have been selling all the flags the entire time, If you were willing to pay for a bunch of consumables you don't really need...

Temporary benefit... 20% more credit, 50% bonus to commander/Ship XP....

THAT'S SMALL? WHAT ARE YOU?

AN IDIOT SANDWICH?

Unfortunately, no combination of flags and camo will let the Yorck show a profit in PvE. I know...I tried

The fault lies with you. You should be doing at least 230k dmg every game and you'll net a hefty profit of 6k credits.

 

Working as intended.

and yet, here you STILL are, trolling away and trying to make others as bitter as you are.

if you don't like the company that runs the game, go find a company you like and play THEIR game.

you must live smack dab in the middle of the Great Salt Lake;

everything you post drips brine and bitterness, like WoW was lurking around corners waiting to rob a player blind.

it is a business that runs a game. if you are unhappy, go play a different game

(and leave the salt on the restaurant table)

This is all well and good, but Boyarsky isn't lying. There have yet to be any of the item officially termed "flags" sold that provide bonuses, and no indication that any will be sold that provide bonuses. There are some that provide bonuses, but they were never sold, only earned (e.g. Military Month Contributor flag). In other words, when Boyarsky uses the term "flag," he is referring to the items found under the - gasp - Flags tab in-game.

 

The "flags" you're talking about? Yeah, those are signals. And the ability to purchase them has been around for quite a while, including before Boyarsky made his statement about flags that you're quoting.

 

Context is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

it so small in fact that it not help them win  even one more match.....

in fact  i get 150%  exp and 20% credit and 388%   commander every game i feel like   all from  free crapwon in game.....  so if someone wants to spend money to support our server  sounds good to me.  i used to pay $15 a month for a decent server side game.  and now  if money was tight you can play them for free !  amazing

Now that the bundle is out you can clearly see its only the economic flags.

Exactly.  None of these flags enhance your in-game performance whatsoever.

[KaptainKaybe]

None of those signal flags offer an advantage in combat. It's the usual bundle that gives extra credits, xp, commander xp, free xp, less repair costs. It's not ALL the signal flags in game.

 

It's a pretty good deal overall given the credits, doubloons, and premium time added in.

I played Yorck in one Co-op battle by mistake when the halloween event was resetting our battle option to Co-op, and I'm pretty sure I did make a profit.  It was a waste of good flags, though.

I lol'd at the 'Great Salt Lake' part.

 

OP is quite salty.

[Skpstr]

That was probably before they realized people would buy them. 

 

And before they started giving them away in containers.
