Sure, if a company puts time and money in developing a game, they need to earn money back. they re not doing charity. but the WoT balance is being screwed up. it is shifting from pay to play (faster) to pay to win.
And more and more, they are neglecting to fix bugs in favor of bringing out new tanks that make no sense. look at the chinese tree. its just cntl C cntrl V. or the epic fail brittish line they pumped out half arsed.
New maps? nope. fix some horribly balanced tanks (Centurion, bugged guns on USA tanks, ista-burn german tanks)? nope. 3 arties max per game? nope. remove premium ammo which is screwing up balance? nope.
:v
Either it's a conspiracy theory, or i have to flag it into the usual fanboyism.
The chinese tech tree was initally meant to be released only on the chinese server ( that is still the second largest WoT server after the Russian one), but then decided to release them world wide. And yet you didn't read what i wrote before, development of new tech trees and bug fixing are two separate things that aren't influenced because WG can count on more teams for each type of development. Aka releasing chinese tanks didn't slow down the development of maps, bugfixing, engine fixing etc etc.
As for the pay to win? Nothing changed since a LONG time, so i really don't see what changed since you started playing really. Up to tier 7 you can easily keep making money without premium, from tier 8 things starts getting ugly without premium, that's how the game is meant to be, and that's how the game have always been.
I also might have to remind you that until the last patches they had an average of 2 released maps per new version. They stopped working on new maps now because they aren't satisfied with some of the reworked maps, and they first want to focus those before introducing new ones that might need additional fixing later on.
I don't have much experience with the british line since i stopped middle tier, but do tell, what's wrong with american guns?
And the old "germans nerfed to death" story is really getting annoyed. Yes, germans burns more. No, they aren't suffering that much from it. Yes, german tanks are still nice tanks to be played.
As for the cap of 3 arty per match, before complaining about it, i suggest you to inform yourself, because WG did inform us of why they coudn't lower it more, and the answer is queue time. This hardcap is temporary, and you also seems to have missed the fact arty is going to be changed up to t10, which means every arty will get a lower MM spread, which means a future hardcap of them, if introduced, will actually lower the numers of arties per team more than than the actual dynamic cap is doing.
Premium ammo? WG so far was gathering data, but having some gold rounds on each tank per se isn't a big deal really. The only annoying ones are the full gold combinations with derps guns, i am mostly thinking about the Pz4, Sherman, KV-2, VK2801. All those tanks gold ammo will be nerfed, it is known since ages.
So really, please inform yourself a little more, otherwise you aren't different from the random posts you find on the EU forum of people complaining why they can't kill all tanks with their Tiger H etc etc etc
