Been playing for a decade, dumped plenty of money in over the years and many hours.
Enough is a enough, fix your game in both balance and economy.
The economy has been borked for years at this point and has shown very little resolve.
Income is catered towards premium vehicles/premium accounts.
8 years ago we could play with any vehicle we wanted and had fun with little consequence. Now we're reaching the point of; you either lose SL for having fun, or choosing one vehicle per-match to not go red.
The game is reaching a point of where you're obligated to get a premium vehicle to be cost efficient in your matches. You're obligated to forcibly use premiums to save yourself from going red as opposed to just having fun.
That is not how a ordinary game works, that is a money scheme to force players into forking over money to alleviate their misery.

While we're on about money schemes, Gaijin, I know you love making money but do something about new players having access to high tier premium vehicles. It is gross how little you care about how you're destroying the game with these greedy incentives. New comers are incentivized to buy high tier premiums to grind out their countries faster, which comes at the detriment of everyone else at the relative BRs. These people have no line ups to utilize and only exist to cause your team detriment. They are one-lifers that quit right afterwards as they got no other vehicles to use. They lack skill, and capability for match retention. Bar these people off, or find a alternative to just whimsically purchasing 10+ BR premiums.

While I know this cuts into your profits, I think for game balance, you shouldn't be allowed to get a premium over a BR or two for you. Liberally, you should only be allowed to grab premiums a Tier away.
OR, do something like you had with Israel, where the bar of entry is being in a high tier for another nation at least to do so.
(though I still think that doesn't resolve the initial issue I mentioned of no line up)

Alas, fix your economy first and foremost and work on rebalancing more.
Short list of Demands:

Get rid of MMR, I know it is a thing and everyone knows. There is no reason a my 6.7 German tanks continually get put into 7.0+ games where there are ATGMS; due to arbitrarily playing in a squad or I got two kills in one game. I genuinely doubt we have a player shortage at 6.7.

Remove the nerf of High Explosive. It is very noticeably nerfed as majority of rocket vehicles in the game, especially, do no damage to vehicles outside their BR for whatever the reason. (This was never historically the case, back in the day, it was normal to bring lower tier vehicles in to higher BRs for HE kills)
In other words, return overpressurization to the game like it once was.

Implement a new economy wherein you get your money back if you got a 1/1 K/D. There is no reason I require several kills before dying in some tanks to just cover my repair cost. There is no reason I should be walking out with 61SL for two kills and one death.

As for more demands, I stand with much of the community on their issues with the game. There are many more issues to be addressed and resolved. I think they'll adequately address things accordingly.

Do not play or spend money on this game currently. Not until they heed our words.
Enough is enough, we as consumers will not be abused. We don't lash out of contempt for the game, but out of passion and wish to see it's success and longevity.
I genuinely do like the game as there are none out there like it, but I do not wish to see greed take suit and ruin what was and is functionally a great game conceptionally and generally in practice.
