Sales must have been hurting with the constant negativity coming from the "top" creator and others (you only had to read the comments from regular players to see the bad sentiments) for Pixonic to come up with this scheme and I think it is a smart move on their part. Sadly, I feel that it is a slippery slope for creators. The "glass half empty" style creators will need to change tact and move to a half full style delivery if they want to get that reach around from Pixonic. Videos like the ones showing the lousy drop rates from event chests and ultimate schmuck style games will become "Oh I really needed those 500 components to get close to building X" instead of "500 components of a useless bot that has been nerfed anyway".
The events drop rates changed in percentages ... and I didn't save the data from the last event to check it but there's a post from me somewhere in General Discusison here on it.
Now the argument needs to be "I've got all these partially completed weapons, so more parts are better than new complete weapons". Legendary rate dropped, epic dropped, rare increased. Rare, my 「bum-bum」.

Is that a fact? Sources? If true, that's a big piece of the puzzle that makes the big picture clearer now. No wonder so many wanted to burry the petition. It was bad for business. As juicy as it sounds, I think the scheme came out slightly before the "wolves" got a taste of Banni's prime cuts (as mentioned above). Either way, time will tell how this incentive might lead to some thinking twice before providing negative feedback on videoes.
Yes, the earliest video I know of where a content creator had posted their web store code on YouTube was round about the 20th January. The petition group was formed in early Feb and they only found out about the Ban in early March.
So everyone was already getting a bite of Pixonic's cake before and after the event. All except for the one not invited to the party.
In the final scene of The Lord of the Rings Return of the King, Aragorn's heroic charged inspires everyone else to charge with him. But in this story the fellowship disbands because they were only there to deliver a petition and not fight a war. Aragorn can't defeat Mordor by himself and Pix-Sauron wins. There are no wolves in this story unless you count Wolfblood.

LoL. The fellowship threw the "ring" back at Aragorn and said stuff that, you're on your own bro. Still a better love story than the Twilight saga though.

Its been a lose-lose for the community. With the loss of the petition, the apparent co opting of the content creators, I expect Pigsonic to be even more emboldened and the grift machine turbo-charged.
I dont expect much of anything from the big creators now other than glorified infomercials. I'll be happy to be wrong though...
Luckily some of the smaller creators who arent in Pigsonics pocket are doing some good videos showing all the BS.

Just thought I'd give this thread a little bump, since all the other content createors jumped back on the petition bandwagon..... oh, wait... nevermind

I still watch Banni's videoes, running non maxed gear must be hurting the pride/ego a little I reckon.
Might be time for him to make a grovelling apology to the overlords although it's probably a lot easier to just start subtle hacking instead.....

If anything, he seems more cheerful these days. Maybe he felt like groveling to Pixonic when he was getting free stuff from them. I really hope he transitions to other content besides War Robots. I wish he'd keep making the World of Tanks videos again, was enjoying those a lot.

^^ LoL at "Banni" ^^ At this point, I think the horse should stay dead and buried, I noticed the "creators" are trying to do the same but I can't help feel there is some bad blood hanging in the air now. Someone decided to unbury this dead horse so let's add something that's kind of unrelated..... Did anyone see this April fool's meme on Reddit a month ago:

That looks like predator's work.

Well, since the corpse is out of the ground and roaming... I feel like Pixonic has been pretty generous lately, to the point where this doesn't feel like the same game I felt I was forced to quit playing ~2 years ago. Maybe it's just the ten year anniversary thing but I find it reasonable to get gear and resources in the game lately. Sure, not meta gear but enough where I can enjoy the game and be an impact in the matches. Maybe in some way it's related to the petition drama, maybe Pixonic acknowledged there's legitimate player dissatisfaction behind efforts such as the petition. I feel like if things stay like this it will be ok and this incident will mostly be left behind us. However, if this is just another installment in Pixonic's cycle where they are generous only to bring the hammer down later then this wave of player negativity will return. And obviously many will look to content creators to voice or at least note their frustration. And that time there will be no manni to blame. So lets hope things stay like this. Off to earn me some of those War Robots rewards while picking is still good.

Dead and buried is what Pigsonic and those particular CC's want. A little voodoo bump, and magic, its a zombie.
BrAiNs! BRAinS!! BRAINS!!!
The zombies may have problem though, as brains are apparently in short supply in Pigsonic world.

My game time was dropping off significantly, but now I am playing more again since the last update. Pathfinder seems manageable (expect a buff soon or another bot to take its place) and I can imagine the Dagon, Curie and Shenlou will be standing in the nerf buffet line waiting to receive their meals.

I 100% blame this on you Mr Re-animator/Necromancer!!!
As he came to a conclusion
The others were in collusion It was his damn petition He did not need their permission He didn't want to listen He was on his own mission The petition was struck down It was always going to be doomed! Manni, are you okay? So, Manni, are you okay? Are you okay, Manni? Manni, are you okay? So, Manni, are you okay? Are you okay, Manni? Manni, are you okay? So, Manni, are you okay? Are you okay, Manni? Manni, are you okay? So, Manni, are you okay? Are you okay, Banni?
