Sometime early this year, Putonic intro'd 40,000 Au for cheap so I got in and over the year decided a few $ here and there didn't matter.
Then the last event happened and I'm like what the actual damn 「fluffernutter」. The event prizes are just off the chart stupid (I've opened 1 chest the entire event), not to mention the drop rate for coins plumetting. With the event prizes being so damn useless, I haven't felt any urge to spend any amount of $ on tokens.
Today I deleted my credit card from Apple Pay and removed the authorization for payments to be made with War Robots, meaning there will be no more impulse buys (if you have trouble resisting the urge, start with these two small steps.)
This last event stopped me wanting to spend.
What changes would I want to see in War Robots to resume? That's a damn good question.
- For random luck things, such as event chests or keys...
* both pilots and robots qould need to drop at the SAME rate.
* Gold and platinum should always be available in event chests.
* A better, more obvious, and open 'waterfall' method of introducing items - including titans. If the goal is to give more people a chance to "win" said items then run events for longer.
- Don't treat the players like idiots when it comes to spending money on resources. What does that mean?
* Don't offer 20,000 Au for $10 in one offer and 5,000 Au for $5 in another offer (for example). If it is $10 for 20,000 then it should be $2.50 for 5,000.
If you've stopped spending on War Robots, what would it take you to open your wallet again?

IDK. It seemed that a better value for money spent is the motivational value.
I would just like to see a end to the three ring circus that the game has been made into. Not losing value in terms of bots and weapons usefulness would be a key factor.

Running out of gold makes me spend again. So with that, I think Pixonic will be getting a dozen or so dollars from me this holiday season. It’ll be my first purchase in over a month though, as I have really slowed down due to the awful event and worse meta. Only some hangar experimentation and 6 Pack make me want to open my wallet.

Absolutely nothing!
They have messed with the game way too much, dumbed down the skill required, reduced the rewards from doing well in matches, screwed the loot chests of all sorts, gone full steam ahead with the nerf and OP cycle. And about 52 more things. Maybe release a new map or game mode.
So I claim the moral victory playing on my own terms with no spending at all and remaining F2P forever. I dont need to spend to enjoy the few games where itâs fun - and fortunately still enough fun to keep me entertained every now and again. I happily play really slow and only upgrade anything when its 40 percent off or 4 times speed. Seriously, great way to store up resources. Even then, having better levelled gear doesnt actually matter really - the dog 「dookie」 matchmaker takes care of that. Managed 6 quits in a row today, and no LPQ yet. I have not done more than 6 in a row, but usually that is plenty to end up in a game where I get to be chief stomper or dare I say, a fairly balanced game that isnt Anglers and Mars taking a steaming 「dookie」 on everyone. So, I think I spend enough time on this game and still will. Nothing the devs do is for the better of the game, they just lap up the whales who will spend no matter what, just to get that bot whose magic button does 7 things compared the the previous bot who only had 5 magic powers.
On the plus side, the game has still kept my attention since Walking War Robots days despite the tidal wave of 「dookie」 we are trying to surf on.

I don't spend RM at all now and before it was infrequent anyway. But sometimes fun to get a coveted item. I have to agree greatly with thediss in the post above. It isn't likely I will spend again now that I am playing on my own terms, but to participate in this fantasy, SOME of the requirements to make it fun again would be: - Fix the lazy coding everywhere like shooting through walls (I don't take damage unless it's a hack), sound problems, other visual artifacts, bot movement and so on... - Improve servers - you guys are making millions, come on - New maps - League and matchmaking fixes - Reduce the crooked gambling. You HAVE to spend to win big. - Reduce the RM fees to advance or win stuff. If I do win, at least make the stuff reasonably good. - Allow me to sell equipment for what I paid. If I paid Au, let me get it back in Au. - Allow me to transfer WS components from one item to another at par, not a loss every time - Create a real economy: X Ag buys X Au or X Pt; X Au buys X Ag or X Pt. And so on. This doesn't kill purchases of the resources so what the heck. (Yeah, I know what they would do with this one) - Stop selling hacks to the highest bidder - Provide app support - Slow down weapon escalation - Allow new weapons and bots for sale and in WS sooner - Reduce the magical physics I'm more tired now than out of comments. But you can see I will never spend a red cent (pun) on the game ever again. I have to quote thediss again here: "On the plus side, the game has still kept my attention since Walking War Robots days despite the tidal wave of 「dookie」 we are trying to surf on." |

They will never take the required steps to convince me to spend any more money on this game.
they would need to be honest and sincere in their dealings with the players right off the top.
integrity in other words. the first requirement of any business expecting any of my hard earned scratch.
example: still waiting for yam pixheads. ( and seriously just update the original and dump the stoopid extra ramps and teleporter bs for chrissakes)

Pixonic would have to do a FULL rebalance of the game, remove ALL broken items AND allow ALL bots to have 1active / 3passive mod slots and a set ability. That would be just to get me to play again, spending? I have to think on it...

Let me include something: to ever part with money again would absolutely require undoing this dearming of robots that aren't in hangers.

Let me state this as a FACT. War Robots was a great idea that has turned into a BAD investment. I would NOT put a penny into a pot that I could not take a dime of enjoyment out of. That being said, it was worth every penny in Walking War Robots. This current War Robots is not worth ANY investment & is swirling in the toilet about to finish flushing...Don't spend TIME or MONEY on a game you can find ALL that you loved about Walking War Robots someplace else without all the hassle.
Those than can afford to have a great time in War Robots, best of wishes to you. To me it is not just about cost, it is about a game creator who gives 0 cares about the fan base and their opinions.
Not 1 more penny and not 1 more minute of my time, which time is worth more than ANYTHING in the world because money comes and goes. You can NEVER get time back. And people who tell you F-U, pay me shouldn't get any more of my TIME let alone any of my MONEY.
