No gold task after 3.5 update

You've been repeatedly told that this is not what "pay to win" means.

War Robots is Pay to Win by the definition everybody else except you uses.

The change is reasonable enough becoz it is in line with Pix' (or Mail.ru, whatever) interest.
Maintain a fierce competition in PVP is a common strategy for attracting players to pay. Not gonna blame the company (just) on this.

But as War Robots can ONLY do PVP...this can become ugly.
Guard your wallets carefully lol.

Hey, if everyone else chooses to call black white, do you follow the sheep? No way I will. No matter how much you pay, a win isn't going to be guaranteed. Hence, no "Pay-to-win". So simple even a caveman can see it.

You're redefining P2W and telling everyone War Robots is not P2W by your definition. This is a terminological argument and all terminological arguments are pointless and silly. To preserve the spirit of silliness, let me just say that your definition is not Pay to Win but Pay to be Guaranteed a Win.

hes  fixated on his idea that he's holding to this view so that  his view can fit into this world. His idea and view pretty much crumbles because what hes saying is the same thing but is interpret differently. He cant accept hes wrong, so he want to win an argument.

You're still wrong. i don't think you're old geezer can comprehend this diagram.




Activision was granted a patent this month for a system it uses to convince people in multiplayer games to purchase items for a game through microtransactions.




"This was an exploratory patent filed in 2015 by an R&D team working independently from our game studios," an Activision spokesperson tells Glixel. "It has not been implemented in-game."



Bungie also confirmed to Glixel that the technology isn't being used in Destiny 2.



The "System and method for driving microtransactions in multiplayer video games" was filed in 2015, but granted on October 17th, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.



The patent details how multiplayer matches are configured, specifically how players are selected to play with one another. That process used by Activision involves a computer looking at a wide variety of factors including skill level, Internet latency, availability of friends and other things. It then goes through a system to first soft-reserve a slot in a game for a player and then assign the players to the same match.



This patent, though, specifically discusses how that system for pairing up players can also be used to entice a player to purchase in-game items.



"For example, in one implementation, the system may include a microtransaction engine that arranges matches to influence game-related purchases," according to the patent. "For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items used by the marquee player."

The patent goes on to note that the same information could be used to identify which sorts of in-game purchasable items should be promoted.



The system can also be much more specific in its analysis of potential customers in a game:



"In a particular example, the junior player may wish to become an expert sniper in a game (e.g., as determined from the player profile)," according to the patent. "The microtransaction engine may match the junior player with a player that is a highly skilled sniper in the game. In this manner, the junior player may be encouraged to make game-related purchases such as a rifle or other item used by the marquee player. "



The system can also drop players into matches that will make use of an in-game-related purchase, according to the patent.



"Doing so may enhance a level of enjoyment by the player for the game-related purchase, which may encourage future purchases," according to the patent. "For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar gameplay results."



The patent also makes it clear that while the examples used in the patent are all for a first-person-shooter game, the system could be used across a wide variety of titles.



Activision recently courted a bit of controversy with in-game purchases and Destiny 2. The Bungie-developed, Activision-published game stirred some player anger after its release with the way the game's Shaders work. In the original game, a player could find or purchase for real money, a shader that could be used an unlimited amount of times on weapons and armor. In Destiny 2, the Shaders can still be purchased or found, but players feel they're too hard to find and now, once used on a single item they vanish.



In 2016, Activision Blizzard said it earned $3.6 billion from in-game sales, up from 2015's $1.6 billion.



Update: This story has been updated to reflect the comments provided to Glixel by Bungie and Activision after the story was first published.

I would also add that this inst necessarily going up against dash bot only. If you use silver and gold bots you're likely will always be placed in a cold predetermined game that has 50/50 chance you winning  you'll  either be on a strong team ones , the weak ones, the bad composition  hangar ones or the stupid ones . the only way to break out of that is to buy the best items. this system is design to encouraged you to spend real money for the latest over power hangar setup. This design is a scam to setup for people to spend money. basically, this game is not a game but a sell service to take advantage over others ( no skill required to be good at this game). mail.ru know there is a psychological addiction in microtransaction that play in  some part of people and they're using it to take advantage. on the side note: the war robot royale is scripted AF (you and I know this) you don't think MM system couldn't possibility be scripted?. if they can do that for royale why not MM too?. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figured that out.  Once you hit the higher league you will see the winning and losing pattern.
