What Did it Cost? Everything._summoning_ Haloki 2 points · 16 days ago 9760$
redditmosq 1 point · 7 days ago Confused, you said $400 in another thread_summoning_ Haloki 1 point · 7 days ago 440 just to get Scorpion, skin and pilot. Over meanwhile over 10.000 for everything else like upgrades etc"
Remember when you would spend 50 bucks on a Lancelot and have the most bad 「bum-bum」 bot in the game? Players like summoning keep the game alive with their money, of course, yet at the same time, they are the people who make use of the now insanely huge power gap between a big spender, a small spender and the F2P critters.
Play War Robots for some robot fun, but never think of it as a competitive pvp game, as it is no pvp but a vvm: VISA versus Mastercard.

Same reason I spend thousands a year on clouds of smoke, because that's *all* it is.
At least in this case it was something personal... if I spent thousands a year on 1 game I would truly feel lame inside
. Thousands on a massive collection? hell 「fluffernutter」ing yeah. But one game? Beyond 「slow」. So selfish.

Summoning .... how could I forget.
Anyway, at one time many, many updates ago, I did spend on this game. More than I should have, more than I’d spent on any other game ever on any platform, but still nowhere near what I’d call whale level (a few hundred $$$ over the course of about 6 months). Looking back, I still think it was more money than should ever be spent on a MOBILE GAME, and I will never spend anything close to that again, especially on this one, because you absolutely do not get anything close to what you pay for.
As I positioned in another thread, Pix would stand to earn a LOT more by drastically lowering prices for bots and weapons. At the right point, I’m talking no more than a few dollars per, it would turn most of their player base from non-spenders into spenders, while also significantly narrowing the power gap among the modest spenders. The real, heavy spending would still occur with upgrades, as I believe is already the case now. It would be a win-win for everybody. But what do I know.

Hey my numbers are correct. He said 7500 when I spoke to him last in Jan 2020 and I projected a 10k mark up until now.

Personally, spending 10k on a mobile game is borderline near insanity, but as I said, I'm glad there are some big spenders, as those are the guys keeping the lights on. I spent about 20 bucks or so in the last two years on War Robots. Pixonic can't live on that lol. |

He's on Reddit and posts some videos about his 98% win rate account. His Loki videos are fun to watch though. |

It's actually educational to see, how things look from a 98% win rate perspective looks like.
I don't like summoning, as he's full of himself like second to none, but I still look at his postings from time to time, as it gives me a very good impression, what on the "top end" of War Robots is going on right now.

If you wanna see the "top end" of War Robots, go to CDxx or Vision's channel and watch Golden Turds float around center beacon for 7 mins a game xD |

Personally, I could never justify that amount of money on a game, and a game as obviously disinterested in its players as this one at that. If he/she is very wealthy and can spare it, then it sits more comfortably with me. I would be on so many holidays, exploring this amazing world with that kinda' money ...
I generally don't have a problem with the ides of spending money on games. Spending 5 euros on in-game purchases isn't really much different to spending 5 euros on a pint. They both are forms of entertainment. They both contribute to down-time. However, just as I wouldn't drop 400 euros on a night out and not think I overdid it and was an idiot with my money, dropping 400 euros on a bot is the same thing. No pint of beer is worth 400 euros to me. 'Worth' being the operative word there.
10,000 real actual money on this game. I hope it's a fraction of what they earn. Sincerely, that doesn't sound like money well spent.
I measure everything in pints. It keeps things in perspective :-p

I wonder what the COL is where he is. $40/hour isn't much in many parts of the country(I assume tUSA cause it is $). Some of us make a good deal more than that. I spend $180/year for premium and whatever Ops passes now cost and just looking at that amount makes me think I spent too much(have also dropped a grand total of $200 on an event and a Ming). I have no kids at home anymore though and the wife and I drive vehicles that are paid for so our bills are low. Still that money could be better spent on a new fly tying vise or motorcycle parts or.....a good single malt or blended bourbon. Heck even some grass fed elk tenderloin for the pit(which is awesome if you never tried it) |

One can still drop the bots without drones and I’m doing exactly this during the next days/weeks. As soon as I see squads with full magic drone skills that make them invincible, im simply done with all this. My head is full of things in real life and there is no space for any complications like these. War Robots should be a simple and fun shooter. I will not drop another 14.000$ on things I don’t like or understand just to win. No fun anymore. Its over."
Honestly, I feel sorry for the guy. Imagine the disappointment. But it's good to see, that people start waking up now.

Feel sorry for children who deal with cancer, veterans with missing limbs, etc. I wouldn’t feel sorry for anyone that can’t control an addiction. No one ever felt sorry for me and I won. |
