Lootboxes that has very low chance to win a premium tank.
Power Creep reported on Sep 17, 2019
Old (premium) tanks are outclassed after some years. They aren't bad then by any means but can't quite compete with newer tanks.
Competition reported on Sep 17, 2019
Yes, but that's given with being a competitive Tank MMO.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Sep 17, 2019
You'll miss frequent events for premium tanks (that are really hard to get anyway). New OP tank lines are released frequently and the first ones to unloch them wreck havoc in their tiers.
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Sep 17, 2019
New premium tanks that aren't already in your garage are promoted with fireworks in the garage.
Anchoring Tricks reported on Sep 17, 2019
Yes.
Waste Aversion reported on Sep 17, 2019
You have a limited garage but can expand it by paying money or buying premium tanks. Not a big problem thought as selling old unused tanks has often benefits.
