[2020] I think i just got Gaijined

I third this.

Im not really sure what the point being made here is. Silver Lions are earned yes but also spent on repairs, shells, ammunition and anything else. If you have been playing for 6 years, you would indeed have been earning, but to maximize earnings its best to play spesific vehicles. Its also impossible to judge what you have done with all of your SL over 6 years and simply showing your unpurchased vehicles does not really give the whole story.

Its like saying you swam for 6 years in 500 different swimming pools. If you didnt improve your technique or challenge yourself, you cant expect to automatically qualify for the Olympics just because you swam for 6 years.

The point is, just playing for 6 years is not an automatic given for anything. How you play and how well you play are also important factors. Utilizing vehicles with higher SL modifiers is also key.

Not to mention the yearly sales that cut huge %s of off everything.

Its not a necessity. But its a significant bonus that happens every year with up to 50% of that suddenly makes this 26 million just over 13 million.

Sitting on over over 60 vehicles through multiple sales, discounts and other opportunities to get them easer is also problematic in itself and leads to misleading numbers too.

Well it is in a lot of respects. Utilizing many of the bonuses given to you is a core part of any free-to-play economy. Making the most of events, sales, boosters and modifier rewards is core to gaining lots of SL.

Some players sit on hundreds of millions just by playing casually. Naturally if your chasing progression much faster, you wont retain as much, but there are also a huge variety of ways you can earn SL, making the most of modifiers and bonuses that do not "force" you to play limited ranges or modes.
