Thought I would give the new soviet Containers a go.... What a complete rip off, I spent about 100 Dollars for a ter5 ship and a bunch of ok consumables. At this rate I would have to spend another 100 to get the ter8, nope ! Burnt and shocked they would try sell this as is. buyers beware!!! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do. So you are just upset that you spent money and dont get some sort of preferential treatment. That's the way the cookie crumbles. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you blow $100 on crates when you could have bought either of the tier 8 premiums, and earned 840 additional tokens? Plus earning the tier 5 becomes easy, and you get up to an additional 420 tokens for sailing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Step 1: open wallet Step 2 spend spend spend. When eventually they will all be free in the tech tree... Lesson learned . Right. And as such as another Op replied to this . Those who spend money on things like this don't deserve to rant knowing full well what they are getting into . You win some you lose some .

I am going to be honest and it might hurt a bit. $100 on random bundles just for a tier 5 ship? That is incredibly stupid to do. You should of bought the tier 8 premium they were offering and get all of your tokens that way instead of the gambling route. And if you don't have time to play the ships, that is not WG's problem. They gave you two alternatives, either play the game and win guarenteed tokens, or not play the game buy a box with random chances of tokens and various amounts. Now, I do agree to some extent, 500 doubloons for 10 tokens or 15 (whatever the lowest amount is) is terrible! It is actually not worth it Edited May 21, 2020 by kishan99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

366 [DUD] kishan99 Members 706 posts 2,470 battles Report post #24 Posted May 21, 2020 WG really needs to wake the hell up and realize when it says 15 tokens for 500 doubloons, that actually translates as you paying $4 to get 0.50cents of goods. The premium flags you can get by playing the game. 15 tokens is actually worthless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
