> Be me, playing War Thunder as a proud f2p player > Loving the game, the tanks, the planes, everything > Start off at Tier I, thinking "Oh, this will be a breeze!" > But oh boy, was I wrong > Hours upon hours of grinding, and I'm still stuck at Tier I hell > Join a match, only to get obliterated by premium tanks with all the bells and whistles > Meanwhile, my tank feels like it's held together with duct tape and dreams > Okay, maybe I just need to improve my skills, right? > Watch countless tutorials, read forums, try different tactics > But no matter what I do, it's still an uphill battle > Spend countless hours to earn enough Research Points for that shiny Tier II tank > Finally unlock it and think, "Alright, things will get better from here!" > Hop into a match, and boom - back to square one > Because now I'm facing tanks that have been upgraded since dinosaurs roamed the Earth > The grind never ends, it just gets more torturous > The worst part is facing the realization that if I want to succeed, I need to open my wallet > But I'm a proud f2p player, and I refuse to give in to this pay-to-win madness > I understand that devs need to make money, but seriously? > It feels like they're milking me like a cow just for an ounce of enjoyment > Eventually, I hit my breaking point > After weeks of grinding and feeling like nothing I do matters, I quit > Uninstall the game, never to return > Maybe it's just not for me, maybe I don't have the patience or the money > But deep down, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed > War Thunder had so much potential, but the grind just killed it > So farewell, War Thunder, you won't be missed > Someone else can take my place as a f2p martyr stuck in Tier I hell
