Thanks to whoever tagged me.

I need more information before I focus on what is being said.

Are we talking about the KotS missions?

If so, KotS is a PvP competition and the rewards from completing the KotS collection are pretty good. This is why the focus of the one set of missions was around PvP. Which only one collection set would be missing if you are PvE only. Though we have tried to add PvE to as many missions as we can, it won't be an option for all our missions as some of the rewards are going to warrant a bit more work.

That being said, some of our missions are going to be focused on one game mode, like the Asymmetric missions that drop you the gift containers. Often these missions are to drive participation.

Players are allowed to voice their concerns if they like. Just because someone chooses to play a different game mode, it does NOT make them entitled to voice that concern.

The thing is here, as I have said in the past. We have specifically stated that we are adding PvE to as many missions campaigns etc as we can. But I also said there are going to be instances that it is NOT included. Case in point all the missions that have Asymm battles attached as an option, we wanted specifically to lure as many people as we can into those game modes to gather the data.

This was the same way for submarine battles, we had missions that were specific to them, to try to gather as many as we could for the data.

At the end of the day if we deem that the rewards are such that they must pose a challenge, there may be chances that we don't add PvE to the options. As for making the requirements for PvE higher as a compensation. We have also stated that those increased requirements might be SIGNIFICANTLY higher to the point that the PvE community would be just as upset. This is definitely a concern that the devs have brought up to me when we have had conversations about it.

We are, and have been, continuing to have discussions with our dev team to try to include PvE as an option in as much as possible, but you must understand that as we are a global game, the focus still will mostly be around PvP as globally most of our player base (new and old) are focused on PvP.

Not trying to be a stickler KilljoyCutter, but EVERY game that has mission chains and multiple game modes will and do have this in game.

And though I understand why some might not want to play Randoms, I have to say that with everything in World of Warships, what game mode, what ships you play, what you purchase, what you do are all choices in game.

That being said, I DO NOT have a problem with people voicing those concerns and I will ALWAYS send the feedback up.

However, and this isn't directed at you. Toxicity towards someone CHOICE, will not be tolerated.
