Aloha,
I get your frustration, just my 2 doubloons, World of Warships should NEVER be work. I have never really been the type to NEED the new shiny the moment it comes out. I try to play and have fun, I mean, it's a game.
So if you are not enjoying an event, then that is perfectly fine, just play the game to play the GAME. The moment you're angry or annoyed at a game, is the moment to take a step back and or maybe a break.
The EA events to me are meh, because I know I will play the ships eventually for free. It all boils down to us giving choices to people, if you WANT something you can get it, if not, you will be able to get it eventually.
I have been berated by some because I suggest people take breaks, to think there are other games out there,
I have taken breaks in the past and when I come back to Warships, I am reminded how much I enjoy the GAME.
