I have very tight funds, cannot spend too much ($12 is my max right) so should I even bother? There are several new games coming out fairly soon so I probably wont be playing this much in the coming months so...I dunno...just want to hear your guy's opinions on what you'd do in my position. Would you let your premium time run out and not bother with it? Or would you re-up for a little bit longer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait until another ship line comes out which you'd like to grind, and worst case you end up saving and buy a nice premium instead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A general life rule I learned from EVE Online is; if you cannot afford to buy it twice at full, don't buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, if there is no need to go up the tree fast anymore, I don't think there's a need for more prem time. Hell, I've been playing w/o prem time since my "30" days of CBT premium carried over.

103 EliZacharias Beta Testers 454 posts 1,484 battles Report post #6 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I use my WoT/WoWP gold to upgrade my premium time there and its the one thing that carries over to WoWS. I'm not using what gold I had left in WoT otherwise so its going to good use and I'm not spending anything additional that way until I see the changes/sales I and others are looking for (port slots, flags, Warspite etc) If you have any gold left from WoT and don't have anything else in mind for it, re up your premium time using that first as its money you already spent/won. Otherwise, not spending seems to be the best course for you atm based on your OP. Edited October 9, 2015 by EliZacharias Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
60 PyRo_MaNiaC Members 120 posts 2,499 battles Report post #7 Posted October 9, 2015 It sounds like you shouldn't be buying premium and have no need for it at this time. I think you made the decision yourself; just let the premium time run out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My own example is I've got a complete IJN-BB, all the ships. So I took a break for about 2 months on premium time because I was content with everything, Now I'm considering getting a premium again to start work on both the Cruiser and Destroyer line that I have up to Tier 5 so far.

I for example, only buy a day of premium at a time here and there, when I have the house to myself and can play all evening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,425 [0456] _ENO_ Members 3,945 posts 10,545 battles Report post #13 Posted October 9, 2015 Man if you can't spend 12 bucks then yeah... premium time would be the absolute last thing on my mind right now. So would the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
309 Cuesta_Rey Members 1,267 posts 9,772 battles Report post #14 Posted October 9, 2015 Just my personal take on it... If I had to be concerned about where I might spend $12 because it impacted a tight budget, there is no way I would spend it on a game. None of any kind, anywhere. You cannot afford it. You have bigger fish to fry than playing a game. It's likely your spare time needs to be refocused on earning money, not spending money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

54 [-ETZ-] Drghost_Poutinebbq Beta Testers 318 posts 13,627 battles Report post #16 Posted October 9, 2015 I would personally put it on hold, and save the money in "Fun Account" and decide later on what you want to do with it.... .Like Buying the Mikasa when it comes out. I think you are a bit waiting on that ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So would the forums. Thats just a self-imposed budget. I have more than that for leisure stuff I just like putting a cap on certain things so I dont blow it all on trivial stuff lol Thanks for the help guys. Was mainly just curious on what I should do really, so wanted to get your guys opinions lol Will probably not re-up unless the Mikasa gets bundled with a few days worth of premium. (WG! You here that!? If you want my money...you know what to do... ) I use my WoT/WoWP gold to upgrade my premium time there and its the one thing that carries over to WoWS. I'm not using what gold I had left in WoT otherwise so its going to good use and I'm not spending anything additional that way until I see the changes/sales I and others are looking for (port slots, flags, Warspite etc) If you have any gold left from WoT and don't have anything else in mind for it, re up your premium time using that first as its money you already spent/won. Otherwise, not spending seems to be the best course for you atm based on your OP. God, I haven't even touched my WoT account since I un-installed that game, which was such a long time ago now lol I dont even remember what all tanks I had. XD I should probably check and see how much gold I have left over there. I cant imagine its very much though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been running for last 2 months without premium and still increasing credits. If you want me to buy more premium time then please offer a vacation mode for premium time.
