18 demonicwaffles Beta Testers 47 posts 1,133 battles Report post #1 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Y'all understand that you can almost get a brand new AAA game for the price of one ship right? Is ONE ship really worth that much? I just want to understand the thought process here. And I actually do really like this game.

13 [BOTES] Linnart Members 51 posts 6,542 battles Report post #6 Posted August 28, 2015 But buying a AAA title won't garner you that beautiful Tirpitz! I'll admit that I prefer a F2P game, or any Wargaming title, over a AAA title. Mainly due to there being constant updates for the games, whereas you'll end up buying another AAA series/installment.

83 Rebeldad Beta Testers 436 posts 2,160 battles Report post #13 Posted August 28, 2015 I have yet to buy a ship but I am lucky enough to have a Murmanks. It is all due to a great friendship. My buddy and I started WoT back in closed beta and during the first year or so I have some extra spending money and bought me and him some premier tanks. I was lucky and my buddy bought me the Murmansk since I enjoy WoWs more than WoTs now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
114 [NDA] Wolff_Punisher Beta Testers, Beta Testers 1,097 posts 11,236 battles Report post #14 Posted August 28, 2015 I have no problem posting for a premium ship. Bought the CBT three shop buy in, bought the Atago and the Murmansk. Will buy any ship that seems worth the price and that will give me hours of fun. For me it's no different than say spending money at the movies, sporting event, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the capacity to buy a AAA gamr, nor do I want to. I like collecting ships and I have most of the premiums in game and like most of them. I consider it an investment for fun I only have to make once for each ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

18 demonicwaffles Beta Testers 47 posts 1,133 battles Report post #20 Posted August 28, 2015 I understand that they have to make money but with wargaming I just feel in my gut like everything is overpriced, if it was a bit cheaper I could rationalize buying a few premium ships but 50-60 bucks for a single ship is just hard to justify in my mind.

720 KingCakeBaby Alpha Tester 1,247 posts 4,975 battles Report post #23 Posted August 28, 2015 I think I have five premium ships, but I've only bought one (Atlanta). I enjoy the game and I have no problem contributing to the paychecks of the people who work to keep it going and growing. When more ships become available I will pick them up because I have a job and honestly, I probably spend more a week on useless junk that I don't really get anything out of.
