Aloha,

I would like to address a few things here.

Unfortunately with the ships dropping into battles with the numbers at tier IV to say VI the number of CV's in que means that you will get more often than not, more than 1 CV. Though I cannot comment on changes that have not been announced yet I will say this is being looked at currently.

At this time lower tier battles can be challenging to get through as the learning curve is quite steep. But you are taking the first correct step, which is asking other players for advice and how they play. Try to, as difficult as I know it is, to ignore the trolling and nonconstructive responses to your questions. And I hope you do not feel deterred from asking questions!

Mahalo,

Suppose I don't necessarily understand what there is to farm. You can get significantly more FXP, credits and damage as a tier VI CV. I am not saying it isn't possible or a good tactic, but I just don't see the overall benefit compared to playing mid-tiers or premiums.

How did I not? She asked about why people would seal club at lower tiers? I mentioned that that I do not understand it either, as the reward is better at mid tiers vs lower tiers. I do just fine at tier VI and up to the point that tier IV's are a waste in terms of cost vs reward.

I will concede that she asked why we don't make them more "realistic," but my reasoning for not answering that is because, well it has been answered MANY times on this forum, and I did not think that answering with the standard answer that everyone sees, that his is an arcade game, not a simulator was prudent.

Also, you can say of me what you will, my responses as above were the same to many posts well before working for WG. As an Alpha Tester myself, I'm sorry you do not remember those things. But I digress. I had mentioned also that asking questions as she did was the right thing, which every player should and I do not mean to derail this thread.

True True.

Except I DID mention that with the fact that looking at cost vs rewards and the NA server performance of those CV's people are not "seal clubbing" There are just more CV's in que, that is what is going on. I'm not downplaying that lower tier play is rough with the meta being what it is however. And currently tier 5-7 are better tiers to play more "sheltered" if you want. The ships become more resilient, they have better defense, they are faster, etc etc...

Furthermore I DID mention that we are paying attention to the battle statistics to see the performance of our player base and the various classes.

I am a DD main, have been since Beta and actually picked up playing CV's to figure out how to better counter CV play in my DD's, just food for thought. I know for me it has sincerely made me an even better DD driver.
