Enlisted on the Gaijin Trade Market

I suggest that enlisted, considering its size, deserves a spot on the marketplace. There people could trade unwanted event items, such as vehicles, weapons and squads for Gaijin Coins (just as usual) which these, they could obtain other items they actually enjoy. This excludes camouflages (WarThunder), especially for historical reasons.

I got several Soviet Squads, vehicles, weapons, pistols and swords that I’ll never use, would gradly trade them in with other people for something else.

I got a proposed trade offer from another guy on the official Discord that if ever this kind of system was implemented I’d trade my Soviet Assault-Engineers for his German Event Paratroopers, seems like a fair trade to me, and we’d both walk away happy.

The market would be the death of easy to do events and shift priority to pure grind…

Why? I don’t see the correlation between those two things, could you please elaborate?

This would be a good idea. We buy squads with unique weapons and for me it usually turns out I don’t like the Unique weapon, or I don’t have a need for that squad at the BR level Gaijin is forcing me to use it at. They call them ā€œUniqueā€, however other then for use in this video game, they have ā€œZEROā€ value. For me it’s pointless to collect weapons or squads that hold no value and are ā€œNOTā€ going to be used in my lineups, So, if Gaijin is not going to allow us to purchase squads with fully changeable weapons loadouts, then we should be able to sell or trade these squads with other Enlisted players. Personally, I would be happy with just about every squad I have bought in my time playing Enlisted if I were allowed to change their weapons because I have half a dozen collecting dust because I like the squad, hate the weapon. So, if I can;t change it let me sell or exchange it to someone else.

The gaijin market uses esentially real money (in form if gaijin coin) and gaijin takes a cut on every sale as a fee.

If event items are commen (less demand and cheap) gaijin cant make much money as less items are sold at a low price.

If events are a pain to do less people will actually finish them and demand on the market will be higher meaning more sales at an increased price AKA more money is lost on transaction fees and gaijin makes money.

Just look at the WT market where some tanks are sold in the lower triple digit number range…
Those will be everything but affordable.

EDIT: A market place would also give hackers an incentive to hack existing players accounts and steal everything they own.

Thank you. While this is a thing to definitely consider, I think the positives are way to attractive to be outweighed by the risks. And note that i say risk, this is not guaranteed to happen even if it’s gaijin. But definitely not something to ignore, you are right.

For the example you have shown: Events don’t work in enlisted the way they do in WarThunder, to make them more difficult they would either have to change the entire system or increase the required points. But please feel free to share your thoughts about this.

Also the veteran box would 100% interfere with the markets potential to make money for gaijin so you can 100% be sure that those would be retired to keep the price for the event squad high.

That can be changed and if you remember the initial event requirement for the winter christmas event a year or 2 ago ( i believe it was the assault engineers) those where truely ludicrous before they slashed them almost by half.

This is a great idea but Gaijin seems to want to make $$$. I get that developers need to get paid and servers run…but the premium squads and gold coins are definitely over priced. One high end premium squad costs $80CDN for something you can ONLY use every third squad rotation, in that exact BR and only for that faction…thats almost the price of a PS5 game!
If you bought the squads, and all the gold needed it would cost $10k’s of thousands and definitely not worth it. Streamers and content creators seem to get endless gold to buy everything but most of us aren’t that fortunate…especially when some premium squads aren’t that good.
The greedy pay system is what kills alot of EA endeavours…those that buy premium passes, battle passes and the occasional cool premium squads shouldn’t be penalized…it’s what makes players leave the game…content creators too.

And I would gladly trade some as I didnt reached that far in Stalingrad back then, sad that it most likely wont be ever done

Market places attract cheaters - we should be careful with such mechanics.

it should be locked for newcomers, only people who have played certain amount of time could access it

Very good idea, that might fix some issues.

No, this will only bring more hype and score boosting studios.It’s unfair to ordinary players.And once the event squads are Commercialization, it will be even harder for us to obtain it.(I believe we will at least lose the box because of this.)
Everyone is aware of how time-consuming the Thunder of War event can be.
Looking at the past ā€˜merger’ and the current ā€˜deserter punishment’, haven’t we learned our lesson yet?
They are more willing to implement any suggestions that are not beneficial to players.Because they didn’t expect us to be willing to accept these. :man_shrugging:
