A letter from WTPU admin
To Warthunder players,
It has been more than a year since we stood together to oppose Gaijin's injustices. During this year, we were hopeful as we watched Gaijin's development team begin updating various aspects of the game according to the roadmap they promised over a year ago. This should have been a cause for celebration.
But now, as the roadmap nears completion, I've realized that a far more critical issue affecting our core benefits has been lurking in the shadows. Most of the beneficial mechanisms they've implemented so far can be considered mere "desserts," while the long-awaited Research Bonus has yet to be introduced into the game, even after more than a year. These core elements, which could drastically improve our gaming experience, have been frustratingly slow to materialize. Even by reading the latest dev blog, we can see that these so-called Research Bonuses are negligible and barely beneficial for the average player.
On the other hand, despite several rounds of adjustments and changes, our in-game rewards seem to have barely improved compared to a year ago. The removal of negative rewards for premium accounts has not salvaged our meager research rewards. We urge players to closely monitor and record their recent in-game rewards, observe the changes in the bonuses on their profile cards, and pay attention to the upcoming updates.
From a broader perspective, Gaijin is adept at dividing us. Do you think Gaijin is unaware that most Asian players are naval battle bots or just spamming rockets to the base? They know. On the one hand, they secretly reduce the reward multiplier for aircraft mounts—a fact we would be unaware of without datamines, as they do not want others to see their subtle manipulations. On the other hand, they publicly announced that they have fixed the game bug that caused rockets to deal excessive damage to bases during sales promotions, a bug they took a whole year to fix. This way, they know we will complain about Asian players exploiting game bugs, instead of focusing on the underhanded changes Gaijin makes in datamines. I urge you not to persistently complain about Asian players but to turn your attention to what Gaijin does not want us to know: the real reward multiplier and the upcoming Research Bonuses.
Think carefully—have your in-game rewards really changed much compared to before the updates a year ago? Gaijin manipulates our emotions, releasing a more attention-grabbing event when needed, thus fooling us. When I say "enough is enough," I mean it. We must be prepared for the worst. If things unfold as they have, it will be unacceptable to me and an insult to everyone who rose up in protest a year ago.
