if WG really goes on making a WoT 2.0, OE/My.com has a serious problem on their hand. just remember this unified account thing so you can use your gold/free xp on any game they offer and AW has a problem. right now ppl come to take a peek at the game and do not really stay after. pve is uber boring after over 1k matches maybe even earlier. if they want to step ahead of WG they need to speed things up. what the game lacks atm is:
personal missions like in WoT to make random pvp worthwhile. any sort of clan wars be it CW or Stronghold. many ppl do not like random pvp. in my old WoT clan ppl were rather playing organized games over any random match. i take it there are ppl who don't like CW of any sort. i am just talking about more choice. give ppl more pve choices. maybe even single player missions.
this game is more fast paced than WoT, which lot of ppl do not like (of those who i know of that left again). don't get me wrong, i can live with a landslide here and there and i accept the fact that it takes time to adapt to AW if you're coming over from WoT. many "older" folks do not have the reaction times like an uber pro Counterstrike player but let's face it, you have to cater to everyone especially since the "older" ppl are where the money is,... i may be wrong but i but that's why PVE is so succesful since no one screams at you for beein a noob. least not as often as in PVP. pair that with the unwillingness of ppl to move and you have your landslide. WoT was plagued by campers and so is AW only that you pay for that mistake faster compared to WoT.
i know that WoT had 5 years to get where it is now but thing is, if you want to compete on their level it is not enough to make a few things but ALL things better. maybe this is just rumors but rumors alone might hold ppl off of AW and rather wait for a new WoT 2.0.
not easy to break a loyal playerbase. btw i'm not one of them but i stopped putting any money into this game until i see them stopping to hide behing that "beta" tag. maybe then the playerbase will grow and maybe, just maybe this game will stand a chance.
