Your Mother's Day/Fishing Opener Lecture from Your Friendly Neighborhood Granny Gamer...whale? ?
Aren't you all sick of how this whole whale witch hunt has gotten out of control? When I started, I knew what the whales looked like, and what their whole game was about. They had the best of the best and everything was MK2.
But now, it's as if anyone who has spent a few dollars is a whale. Heaven forbid if you've won stuff, or gotten supply drop bots and component stuff through wsp earned. If you saw my profile right now, I'm sure you'd call me a whale too. My stuff doesn't match my small number of victories. In my league, just having a 5th slot might make you a whale, but I recently got my 2nd hangar!
Although I'm not even a true whale, do you think I'd want to put myself out there again to ask for advice from people who might judge me as one? What if I'm not the only one feeling this way?
Which is really stupid, because I've gotten so much great advice from the people here! And it would be a shame to limit myself to only private messages for advice, just because I'm afraid people will demonize me for having spent some money.
Why do I need to be embarrassed about that anyway? Why should any of us? Because if you float, you MUST be a witch!
I think the witch hunt really needs to end. Maybe we can turn our attention to the demonizers. The accusers. Why are they so concerned with other people's business instead of their own? Bad day, psychological unrest, mental illness?
Lastly, if confidence is the most attractive trait, then being nasty to other people while bragging about yourself in the same breath is the least. (in reference to some of the most recent posts about whales)
And if you live in one of the US states with a fishing opener this weekend, happy fishing!

Well, the thing is, people would like to have a competitive mecha shooter. You know, like War Robots maybe used to be in 2016 and before.
Then Pix noticed, that there are people willing to ruin the competitive part, and buy equipment to win. And then they went overboard with the introduction of Dash bots. And everybody who shelled out for such a P2W bot when they tried those prices has essentially paid for the game to stop being what many would like it to be (a competitive mecha game). These days, there's no turning back, so hard to blame current players for playing what the game is now.
But, this is the source of the resentment (or part of it, for some people, at least) towards the unbalanced, unobtainable current gear, no matter how you got it. Just ignore it.
This is also why many are so eagerly awaiting Battle of Titans (BoT). There is hope that it will remain a competitive game, where you can have a level playing field. We shall see.

I won a Spectre, a Bulgasari, 2 Shocktrains, a Hover and have another Spectre, a Haechi through buying components and a Kumiho and Inquisitor through supply drops. From time to time I get the odd person calling me a whale or they say I'm P2W. Do you think I care, not in the least. I play the game the way I see fit and I play to win couldn't care what anyone else thinks. Probably why I prefer FFA

Nobody should complain about how someone else spends their own money. Personally, I have not spent a penny. Others have spent thousands.
The complaints come from those who either spend little to nothing, or are new to War Robots, that have to face off against whales when whales drop their league rank to swim in the kiddie pool. The issue (for me, anyway) isn't how much someone else might have spent. It's the ability to take all that high priced gear and slaughter those who are not as well equipped.
The ability to manipulate ones league rank is a Pixonic problem, but the actual manipulation of league rank falls back to those who do it, and many of them are whales.
As long as gear is in its proper place, there isn't a problem. Under the old MM system, it was not possible to take lvl 12 gear to whoop up on noobs. The Mag Gep "problem" could have been solved by some small tweaks to what lvl was allowed in what tier, but the money was with a new system, so we have what we have now.

No one's demonizing you and no one's accusing you of anything by spending real money milady. It's because of you people that spend real monetary currencies that keeps War Robots alive for everybody to play for free. If War Robots is to be played by exclusively by F2P players, Pix will not be able to fund the servers, development, programming, events and etc.

Agree 100% with ♧SGT FURY 24/7♧. Anger should not be directed at pilots who have spent money on gear - that is your choice and nothing wrong with spending on a game. Pix.ru is to blame for any bad pilot experience stemming from imbalanced matching. It is financially beneficial for them to pit players who have paid and have better gear vs those who have/do not to “encourage” spending. The anger is simply frustration, and it should be directed at the game - not other pilots.

Just from the content of your previous posts I wouldn't think you would spend a ungodly amount to play this game. The amount spent to have 1 or more hanger full of diess on day 1, and bots/weapons all MK2 same day = WHALE (there's she blows). Now, if you had two hangers full of sphincters and they were all MK2-eh, then maybe. But, would still tell anyone that attacked with fore mentioned BS to F off in the nastiest way. Or maybe not the nastiest, only cause you wouldn't appreciate that. This is a public forum, you've grown to trust some of us. There are a lot of pilots here that have grinded for ideas, and some have paid. The pokeing at whales was for me just a way to blow off steam about how Pix changes were Going up the whole game. God, you should have seen it when they first cute the MM, it was horrible. People justified by, "Oh the poor seals. We needed to do something about the Gep clubbers.". To me; I went through it. I thought it taught a valuable lesson. ? side stepping aphids and just avoiding getting shot. ? if you like the game, then get use to having your 「bum-bum」 beat. If you make a mistake, there are enough talented people to stomp ya a good one.

It's great to know there are people who'd have my back if ever anything like that were to happen. Which it hasn't. I was just doing self-reflection and making assumptions based on what I've seen. I do appreciate everything else in your post but I wanted to thank you especially for this part. ??

A lot of players have full mk2 hangars, but have spend only a hundred bucks for it, if even. Those who see whales left and right just dont know what they are talking about.
It is very kind of you that u are trying to explain them, but u surely dont have to justify yourself.
Many of them have brought the problem to themselves when the supply drops became juicy, running around capping beacons and then complaining they get oneshotted when they climbed the leagus too high.
Yes pix does almost everything wrong, but some people just dont understand how this game works.
Edit: wrote battlerewards but meant supply drops

The player base that cares about the game and would gladly support it for a fair price and product was flushed out. Pixonic is a scumbag company that 100% only cares about their bottom line, they are notoriously greedy and run every good game they buy into the ground.

I respect your opinion, everybody got their own perspective with the way we interpret things. For me, which ofcourse is from my humble opinion, I don't see why different perspectives should be a cause of stress. I'm a f2p, whenever things get so unfair in a game, I just stop playing for a while and return playing when things have changed. Change is always a constant. I always look things in a positive way.

I've only maybe spent about a bit under 60 bucks on War Robots, and not even with my own money, i got gift cards from my confused senile grandparents, and i get emails for free 5 to 2 dollar credit codes.
Am i considered clean because of the circumstances or am i a whale?
