The official statistic about how much gold and free experience players spent at the Auction House in World of Tanks has become known. The sums are so colossal that they suggest a completely logical conclusion.
Hello tankers! Recently, an auction ended in the game, during which information surfaced that there would no longer be a Black Market in WoT. If before it was just news based on direct facts (insider from a blogger and removal of information about the Czech Republic from the off site Wargaming), now statistics have become available that clearly show why it is unprofitable for developers to arrange HR.
If free experience is difficult to assess, since many players already had stocks or transferred through a promotion (although many at the usual rate), then the situation with gold is simpler. As you can see, the developers earned more during the auction than during the previous 2 Black Markets in 2021 and 2020. Despite the fact that in 2022 there were only 4 lots for gold.
By showing such activity at the auction, the players themselves have deprived themselves of the Black Market, showing the developers that they have an easier method of “pumping out money”. Therefore, it is not surprising that from the official website of Wargaming already removed all information about the Black Market, so in the near future you should definitely not expect anything like this.
In all this situation, the question arises, what to do with the accumulated silver? We also need to “wash it out” from the players so that there is an incentive to buy premium equipment and a premium account. At least organized Ranked battles and new event on the Global Map. Possibly released this year Crew 2.0, which will require players to spend an impressive amount of silver in order to gain experience to unlock the basic set of skills.
Read on:If they introduce some analogue of the auction, but for silver, then it would be nice. However, it all depends on whether the developers want to bother with this just to please the players, and not for personal gain.
I don’t understand why people need all sorts of black markets, etc.
A lot of gold on hand after Lootboxes. You need to pull it out. Now it’s already Trade-in, but I don’t think everything will be pulled out, thrifty people save gold for C.R. So be him!)
f***ed up people
The whole game was littered with any x ** ny
They removed it for correction, information about the Czech Republic is again on the website of the VG.
I tried to open a page on the VG website, there is such a plate hanging:
“The Black Market is not working right now. Follow the news on the official portal to find out if it will be launched again, and if so, when exactly.”
