The thing I objected to with WoT was as MTX was pushed harder and harder 
it changed from money being mainly a time saver to money being an 
in-battle advantage. Oh that tech tree tank you've worked on for many, 
many hours to make it as competitive as possible, well we've just 
released a paid for tank that outclasses it. Sucks to be you!

I'm just not interested in a game where it fills liked I'm forced to 
spend money, and keep spending it, not to be at a practically disadvantage.

As for whales, boy there are some in that game. You'd have players who'd 
only been in the game for four or so months and had already managed to 
spend several hundred pounds. You'd think they'd take a step back and 
say, is this really a good idea.
