Degradation of loot box events
If you are already a World of Tanks player, you will be familiar with the loot boxes that are offered during special events. Loot boxes are containers that contain various items, such as gold, credits, premium days, premium tanks, and more. You can buy loot boxes with real money and get a chance to win some amazing rewards.
However, not all loot boxes are created equal. In fact, the quality and value of loot boxes have been degrading over the years.
The origin
For a long time, loot boxes were only available for the New Year event, which was a big and festive occasion and were beautiful and everyone was looking forward to them. The loot boxes had a high drop rate of premium tanks, including some rare and exclusive ones. They were worth buying and made the New Year event more fun and rewarding.
Year 2022
Recently, however, the loot boxes have changed for the worse. First, there were the Return of Waffentrager loot boxes, which were cheaper and slightly different from the New Year loot boxes. The RoW loot boxes had a lower drop rate of premium tanks, other items and also had some old and outdated tanks that were not very appealing. The RoW loot boxes were not very exciting and did not offer much value.
Then, there were the New Year loot boxes, which were supposed to be the best ones. However, the New Year loot boxes were a complete disappointment soon, because they were a complete repetition of the previous year’s event, with no new or interesting mechanics. The New Year loot boxes were boring and frustrating and did not live up to the expectations.
Year 2023
In 2023, the loot boxes became even worse. There were “small” loot boxes for every season: spring, summer, and autumn. These loot boxes were a money grab, as they had very low drop rates of premium tanks and other items. The “small” loot boxes also had some new tanks, but they were very hard to get. The small loot boxes were a waste of money and did not offer any satisfaction.
The RoW loot boxes also returned in 2023, but they were again a revision from the previous year. The only difference was that they added some new VIP tanks.
The New Year loot boxes also returned in 2023 again, but they were once more time a repetition of the previous year’s event. The only difference was that they added another new VIP tanks, which were decent but not very impressive tank. The New Year loot boxes were not very exciting and did not offer any variety.
The future
In 2024 and beyond, the loot boxes will probably be the same or even worse. There will be no innovation or improvement in the loot boxes. The loot boxes will only be a way to squeeze money from the players and offer them little or no value. The loot boxes will lose their charm and appeal and become a source of frustration and disappointment.
This is the degradation of loot boxes in World of Tanks PC. They have gone from being a fun and rewarding feature to being a dull and greedy feature. The loot boxes have lost their quality and value and have become a rip-off and have ruined the special events and have made the players unhappy.
