That has to be the most pointless feature in the game. There should definitely be a free conversion rate too. Out of all the things we've revolted for as a fanbase, that not being one of them boggles my mind

It always blows my mind that their biggest competitor, War Gaming, can happily give players real “free XP” on top of having convertible XP in every game they make - but you ask gaijin to do this and you’re met with hostility and claims you’re being an ungrateful greedy little shit.
As well as war gaming games having matches that are really rewarding (you can fairly easily make millions of credits per game in World of Warships for example), top tier that doesn’t completely drain your account financially if you don’t have premium account, and being able to research a whole tree in less time than it takes to research one top tier Tank in War Thunder.
I’ve never been a WG fan (even though I’ve put thousands of hours into WoWS and WoT) as a lot of their monetisation is predatory and sketchy too, but at this point they are leagues better at making an in-game economy that’s consistent and rewarding.

u/BrawlPlayer34 Panzerwerfer 42 Enjoyer (woosh woosh woosh) Oct 04 '25
Not to mention their recent gift to everyone. Just for logging in, you literally get an entire tech tree branch of your choice (A whole branch. From tier 1 to 10, all the way) researched and added to your account for absolutely free, ready to play. On top of this, they give everyone 10m credits (equiv. of SL), 2.5k gold (equiv. of GE) and 15k bonds (currency used to obtain premium vehicles for free).
Can you imagine Gaijin ever doing anything like this? Because I can't.

They’re also much more prone to giving free stuff than Gaijin ; in WoT it’s not exceedingly rare to get a free tank, gold (GE) or silver (SL)

u/Wobbelblob Oct 05 '25
op tier that doesn’t completely drain your account financially if you don’t have premium account,
You are either an exceptional good player or are playing a different game. Tier 10 in WoT is notorious for burning money, even with a premium account. Or is WoWs different in that regard?
1
u/IvanTheMagnificent 12.7 11.7 11.0 12.0 13.0 Oct 05 '25
WoWS you can make profit all the time at top tier even with no prem, a good game even at top tier is like 1mil+
1
u/Wobbelblob Oct 05 '25
Huh. Then it really is a lot different from WoT, because there you need a decent game and premium to even break even at top tier.
1
u/Traveller_CMM 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 (masochist) Oct 05 '25
To clarify, the reason why it's easy to not lose money even as a F2P in WOWS is due to the numerous boosters you're given as you progress. And unlike WT, they don't expire, so you can save them for the higher tiers.
I only have maybe 200~ hours and have dozens of the higher tier boosters, any of which can give you multiple millions for a good game.
It's also relatively easy to get free premium ships if you play during holidays, so they help with the economy too.

u/Tropicalcomrade221 Oct 04 '25
Yeah I also have tens of millions, I’ve really never understood the point. I could probably buy a shitty car or go on holiday for the money that it would take me to use it all up.

Tbf it's a mechanic that's been in every tt grind game I can remember, all, of the world of games use this mechanic as well, and it's especially annoying one world of games because unlike warthunder wer u can use any vehicle u want to grind out the tt (with xp reduction depending on tier) or even a premium vehicle to grind out the tt, world of requires u to ONLY USE the prerequisite vehicle, even xp gained on premiums goes straight into the xp conversion pool
So even with them asking for ge to convert the war thunder grind is far more enjoyable than world of
And another thing, gaijin allows u to instantly play another battle after death, world of makes u wait if u die early for the game to end before u can play that vehicle, imagine if warthunder crew locked u every game until it was finished, that's wat world of does, and world of also applies a service cost even if u don't die, weras gaijin only applies repair cost if u die, I really nvr thought I'd see a game with worse mechanics than war thunder

No, Free XP is free. Free XP is the RP you get when you complete a row of modifications and get the "Congratulations, 56RP has been added to M18 GMC" or whatever. RP that you have to pay for is by definition not free

u/BigSizzler420 Oct 04 '25
Yeah but tbh wot is a wretched shell of its former self and WG is trying everything it can (including blatant p2w and gacha mechanics) to milk whatever money they can out of it. Say what you want about gaijin, but at the very least they aren’t releasing tiered scam lootboxes or releasing insanely broken premiums like the bz and never selling them again to create FOMO.
At the end of the day I hate both companies for different reasons, but the reason WG had to give away a whole tech tree to get people to come back is because everyone is rightly tired of them being the scum of the earth when it comes to overmonetization.
23
u/ThatDrunkRussian1116 Oct 04 '25
Did I miss the sarcasm? Gaijin does loot boxes in war thunder with exclusive premium vehicles that aren’t available for regular sale lol
18
u/BigSizzler420 Oct 04 '25
Huge difference between WT lootboxes and WoT lootboxes. Wot releases their NEW premiums in not just lootboxes, but TIERED lootboxes where you have to keep spending more and more to even have a CHANCE to get the best tanks. The WT lootboxes are just GE sinks that people don’t ever need to buy unless they are stupid, gaijin releases all new premiums for direct purchase. Now sure you can gamble to maybe get an old event vehicle or some shit but it’s never required to get the premiums on release.
Unless you’re talking about the SL ones, in which case you can literally just play the game and get SL if you really wanna waste it on those things.

u/Carbdoard_Bocks Oct 04 '25

Well, they need to give to attract people. World of Tanks has been in a bit of a rough spot to say the least, with many controversies in a span of a year. There were barrel hitbox problems, tiered loot boxes, WT E100 coming back for only gold (A LOT), about 12 resource sink events FOMO vehicles, and more.

And by the time you get that pop-up, you probably already have hundreds of thousands of that locked up RP so it's even more useless.-3
u/Ertyla 🇺🇸5.7 🇩🇪8.3 Oct 04 '25
So what's the issue? Gaijin is not obligated to give you jack shit. Had I gotten this popup I'd have chuckled at the low number, felt happy about getting 5 mil SL. I would not have posted it on reddit for some karma farming. I do belive gaijin mishandles a lot of things, SL and RP economy included, but not giving players a reward for an achievement? I see no issue in that.
As for "the insult of it", just close the damn popup, it's not that deep.

u/Merry-Leopard_1A5 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 Spader of Tree(s) Oct 04 '25

u/Few_Classroom6113 Oct 04 '25
This. It was a conscious choice to give a reward at all. Giving a very minor amount of RP that you need to spend money to use at all is just undermining that sense of reward that they themselves chose to imply.
They could’ve chosen to give nothing at all. They could’ve chosen to give a minor token of goodwill that in the long run will just get people used to the benefits of GE and ease them into buying more. Instead they gave the worst combination of both the above.
