Is World of Tanks down for anyone else?

If you have a WoWP account there are missions to get "free gold". The only problem is that one has to finish like a dozen missions before getting to the first free gold mission. And the ones that give the most gold require getting third-grade or higher in several classes of aircraft. Which requires grinding to those classes, and knowing how to get those grades in the first place.

Then again, if you're that desperate for gold for World of Tanks you might want to consider selling blood to a blood bank.

Wargaming's response to "it's impossible for the defenders to win in a mandatory WoWP battle mode" was to rebalance it so attackers couldn't win. At least the rounds only last two days on, two days off at a time instead of five days a week!

Of course, they didn't revise the missions to be all doable in those two days. Even a minor fix needs to be broken somehow.

I don't suppose that if they pull the plug that there'll be a conversion to make the game work offline.

I thought it was the same deal as World of Warships where there is the cross-game premium AND game specific premium.

Do you think WoT being temporarily down today is related to yesterdays World of Warplanes issue where the game would crash for players at the end of every battle?

Edit: Nevermind, it's down for patch 1.5. Still, weird timing.

And there's a second type of premium account that's only for WOT that offers different perks from the existing premium account for all wargaming's games. The perks from the two types of account stack.

WoT is leaking into WoWP. A guy was complaining about his team sucking so I said GG in all chat. He PMed me after the battle and I tried to troll back but my heart just isn't in it. All I could do was picture some angry divorcee mall security cop poop-socking his way to try to win a free airplane because this game is the one thing going well in his life.

World of Warplanes seems to be harder to get banned from than World of Tanks. There is a much lesser number of bannable mods, a low player base, and automated talk bans before game bans.

Once upon a time, Wargaming decided that every game would share clans. So a Pansy Clan was automatically created in WoWP and WoWS. It was a dumb idea but on the flip side free clan and free clan logo!

So far I've used my powers as the highest-ranking goon who still plays it to make someone a quartermaster. It's someone who plays a few times a month and who probably doesn't even know that I made them quartermaster.

WoT is leaking into WoWP again. Players are complaining about gold ammo, premium aircraft, and are tossing around slurs. That or the average WoWP player base in the mornings are retirees and 13-year-olds. Oh well, I got the daily mission thing done anyways.

I finished researching the entire USA tech line. Nearly a decade ago I had a goal of owning every tank, I think I'll settle for owning every US tank. Assuming the game continues to exist by the time I get around to it.

I knew they needed to do something with the Churchill GC but they didn't need to create a new subcategory of tank for them to hide it in.

Actually, they did. There is no way I can think of to redeem it.

I'm a danger to my own team at tier 8 and up. I'm tempted to ask Hellsau or another ringer to get 12 top 12 finishes for me. Or to start spamming tier 8 lights since those are less painful for teams to lose.

I don't think I intentionally suicided in my last two battles, but one had a Tiger pushing me out in front of a heavy because I advocated kicking Hitler in the ball [singular]. And I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the map in the other.
