I play Wot primarily because there just isn't a better pvp game available that fills my strategy > twitch requirement.  I'm pretty much just playing WoT and HOTS in the few hours that I game.  I'm always surprised to see Abagadro still playing.  He's seen and done it all in game.

If you get the itch, look me up for a platoon.  I'm Nebu_f13.

I play mostly out of habit and inertia at this point.

I don't play anymore, I no longer even have an account. I did just buy a brand spanking new GFX card so I may start new account on the EU server, see how it runs with normal ping and an ability to handle the physics.

I'm going to escape, come back, wipe this place off the face of the Earth, obliterate it and you with it.

The new physics are pretty much the same as the old. You'll only see a difference if you're driving a fast light or like sliding down hills.

Ive not reinstalled WOT since my new SSD C drive and Windows 10 update a while back.

I have 5k+ gold sat on my account, but never the will to play it for more than a few games. (Same with Armored Warfare, i need to stop buying f2p tank stuff).  This thread isnt drawing me back.

Premium time is shared between all WG games, so you could try and see if World of Warships scratches an itch for you?

Thing was my previous gfx card couldn't even handle the old physics. This mixed with being an EU player on the US server didn't help, min ping on east coast server would be 150ms.

Yes.

Ya, I tried to play this again. I lasted 3 battles. The chat was just horrid, and this is coming from World of Warships. Makes that crowd of aimless dawdling drunks seem positively genteel. I had forgotten.

I'd probably sell my account if I could figure out a way to actually do it.

I wonder what I could get for my account. My stats are mediocre, but I have quite a few premium tanks and several tier 10s.

Check out the accounts being sold on eBay for comparison. Also mediocre stats is not necessarily a bad thing as not everybody wants to deal with being on a unicum account.

If you happen to have a Type-59 you will get a lot more than usual. Feel free to PM me if you want to know the details.

I would say you could get at least $400 for an account with a type-59 but could be up to $600 if you have tons of gold, free xp, tanks, other factors.

Really hard to deduce the prices based on all criteria, all I know is the Type-59 will add $100 and help it sell quicker, other premiums definitely add on some of their cost value. Being a Unicum will add some value but I think a Super Unicum account adds a risk factor cause WG might be able to spot a massive reduction in the stats and call shenanigans. The other thing to watch out for is your security levels, I think it was mentioned you can't change your email after adding a phone or something similar to that, which makes it impossible to sell.

I also got absolutely nailed by the paypal/ebay charges think I came out with about 66% of the sale in the end.

When I clicked on change email it said I could change it 30 days after I added a phone number, which would seem to make the whole process difficult. Either you have to keep the email on the account or they know your number. Need a burner on one end or the other I guess.

Let's see.. 66% of my middle-of-the-pack account with a Type 59, leFH and FCM 36. I guess around 250-300 for the account? Minus the time hassle of fucking around with changing my e-mail and everything. I guess I'll wind-up netting $100 after fees for several hours work.

Nope, not worth the effort. Thanks for the info. Account sales are for teens and 20-somethings whose time is less valuable, I guess.

Just one American heavy. I only played Tier IX for the 2x daily bonuses and refused to grind beyond that. Over two years of playing I only managed to get that one Tier X, though I think I was close on getting the Tier X medium Patton.

I both hate losing money (so played Tier V-VII 90% of the time) and am terrible enough that it was always a grind to get credits or XP.  I also never paid for premium time so I think my average xp was like 300-400 a game. (370 according to WOT site)

Yeh you probably won't get enough to justify the sale. I just didn't have time or inclination, and being unable to move servers just thought I'd cash out. Glad I did it, even though I only walked away with $250

I could probably clear some dough having all t10s and nearly all premiums including the mutant (no 59 though), but doesn't seem worth the hassle.  Their 5th anniversary special is a joke. WG is strangling this game big time.

The really pertinent bit is at the end - I thought I deserved that TD kill, but nooo. Glass cannon TDs that are more AA gun than tank certainly should be able to survive direct hits.  Ohhhhh, I see.
