After having come back to WoT after playing Warships for a year, I can immediately feel the difference in grinding speed.
I realize it helps that I have a decade old account and have spent money so I have tons of boosters on both games and premium time, but I could conceivably grind a line in WoWs from Tier 1 to Tier 10 in a day (credits pending). I always thought World of Tanks had a grind that wasn’t too bad since War Thunders grind is horrible, but I got so used to how fast I moved up lines in WoWs that coming back to the slower grind here has made me slightly frustrated. But also the slower grind means I have more time to learn each tank, get better at the game, and all that. So I also see the benefit to it. But part of me just wants to get to the next tank asap so I can get to the one I actually want.
I’m sure many of you wish the grind was longer so you’d have less idiots like me at Tier 10/11 though
