#Rework silver earning

I’m sick and tired of losing silver in Tier X. I can drop somewhat decent games—4,000+ damage—and still lose 20k silver, even with premium. I can’t realistically do more than 6k damage, so I feel punished for just playing. I’ve had to sell tanks just to get by because the current system makes it extremely hard to earn enough to keep playing high-tier tanks.

This isn’t about being a bad player—it’s about the silver economy being out of balance at the top tiers. Perhaps scaling silver rewards for high-tier tanks or adjusting premium ammo costs could help. Right now, even decent performance feels like it’s financially punishing players rather than rewarding them. Making this change would let players enjoy high-tier gameplay without constantly going into the red.

I never understood why a player gets basically "fined" for a good game at Tier 10.

Get a decent silver boosted era 3 tank and play that to earn silver instead of selling tanks. You can make up to 200-400k a game usually. My favorite is the Object 292, hits plenty hard with its standard rounds so you don’t waste earned silver on premium rounds

#

I’ve come to accept that if I want to play t10 I will have at least 2M silver in the bank and once I reach below 1M I go farm silver in CW again. It’s just inevitable that you’re going to lose silver more times playing t10 than making t10 tanks perform well enough to not lose too much silver in t10 games

Well then prepare to always be struggling for silver not liking a mode is one thing but to not take advantage of it is just baffling ngl just because it's different dosen't mean it's bad also it's not a hard mode to get used to

#

I personally prefer cw even tho im a og player

See I think they designed WWII to drain you of silver so you’re forced to play Cold War. Cause realistically who would actually play Cold War by choice when WWII exists. It’s their new mode nobody wanted to play because WWII was good enough as is. So they’re putting you through a metaphorical cattle chute to make you play Cold War. In my mind that’s how it works at least perhaps im wrong.

Um cw is fun my guy what's with it and you ww2 elitist mindset also it having a much higher silver reward is just a perk of it it actually used to be even more insane with silver output before they reworked it's pricing

#

Yall act like cw ruined the game or something which it dosen't btw

#

All my tanks are WWII tanks. I have no cw tanks to really try and enjoy it. I don’t feel like relearning the game I love. And it didn’t ruin the game it made a whole new world in the game but both should have the same silver earning potential. If I enjoy WWII instead of CW it’s not a big deal.

#

Now if you’d excuse me I’ve got 2.8 mill silver to go p*ss away. I grind silver in tier 8 every so often. But tier ten is hard to enjoy due to the loss of silver.

Hundreds of new tanks to try and memorize weak spots. Not a steep learning curve. Okay

visual pelican
#

Acts as if knowledge of weak sports in ww2 dont also work in cw

#

Same thing go for lower plates tracking shots hatches etc. It's the same

#

If you want silver play cw premiums it's as simple as that otherwise enjoy not having much silver idk what else to say it's very much a you problem PepeThink

#

For example in era3 coop which gets you less then mp btw I can still make 200k-400k pretty easily just by murking bots it's so easy

#

Dosen't even take long

#

But you do you if you want to struggle then have fun i guess

You should be able to ern silver in any tier if you do a good game

visual pelican
#

I actually agree with that

#

This week was the ideal moment to grind silver in your tier 8 premium tanks because of the +1-1 matchmaking.

Tier 10 is not made for earning silver. Don’t forget this is a free2play and this is part of the game design

#

Its the same wit top tier vehicles in cw. You might lose 50-60k even if you win a game

visual pelican
#

Tier10 in my opinion should be equal to era2 in silver earn potential the Tier10 premiums are so damn expensive but offer nothing to justify thier cost

median bloom
#

They want you to buy silver

#

Not a problem for me

#

Because the game is for free

As its almost required to shoot gold as the armor in cw has gone ape💩 on premiums the losses are even worse

Tier 10 isnt meant to be a silver earning tier. Tier 10 is the top of the line but if it had great silver earnings then no one would play anything but it, meaning player spread throughout the tiers would be awful once people get Tier 10's and dont move from it. The silver earning tier really is tier 8 and tier premiums specifically as amongst them they have really good silver earnings. Couple that in if it was +2 and you damage the higher tier tanks means your going to get vastly more silver come the end of the battle.

#

In my mind if tier10 is supposedly the most popular tier in ww2 why not idk make it have good incentives to play it

#

Because wargaming could've designed era3 to mimic tier10 design glad they didn't gives use for era3 premiums

#

Tier10 is mid because you basically get punished for playing it (lose silver like crazy for no reason) dosen't feel like it's worth the effort to get it

#

If tier10 wasn't so brutal with silver I would play it again

#

And if wargaming are not gonna make tier9-10 premiums actually useful then they shouldn't even be classified as premiums

No game across the board is going to make their end of the line tech tree super comfy to play. Legends is the same, WoWS is the same. End of line tier isnt meant to be credit printers unless you have exceptional good games.

Irrelevant

Its not that you cant make money from tier 10. Its just harder then the rest. You make it so it earns good silver, may aswell throw out all premiums across the board. Everyone plays the same thing, no one moves tier, may aswell then remove half the TT at that point.

#

It makes perfect sense just because you dont comprehend it ain't my issue

#

Also wargaming giving out various things dosen't suddenly make tier10 work right

#

When this game was new the way tier10 was designed made sense but this ain't 2013-2018 anymore

manic remnant
#

Yeah the game has changed but tier 10 shouldnt be lucrative, otherwise its just going to create more issues. WG can then just look and go, let's just spam the most amount of premiums we can at tier 10 to keep people at tier 10. Its done so that everyone doesn't stagnate at tier 10 24/7.

#

They literally release a new tier10 damn near each season so they are basically doing that already

#

But I dont know man I just want things to be better and more incentive to play parts of the game

wiesel and EE-T1 are great silver farmers.

Low silver earning for tier 10 are by design. If they consistently made silver why would anyone play anything else?

You would be top tier every match and make silver. All other tiers would basically be obsolete to some extent.

I would like to see silver MORE difficult to earn in tier 10. Or at least greater losses when player do poorly and don't even get damage equal to their hit points. This would help persuade poor players to play lower and mid tiers where they could be more successful.

It really seems like poor players gravitate to tier 10. At tier 10 they are even worse than they would be at lower and mid tiers (5-8). At the very least they could not even shoot their guns once or not leave base at lower tiers instead of tier 10.

I've never understood why players enjoy Tier 10. I dont see the attraction. Of all the Tiers and Eras it rates the bottom for me, even in Coop mode. Anyway Silver earnings (or lack of) since the introduction of CW (a.k.a Tier 11 and up) is a reason for players not to bother playing it. Its not an incentive. Want to play tanks with big guns and armor and not lose silver, play Era 1.

It’s pretty funny really… but to make silver I play this game mode called Cold War, to me it seems arcadey but it’s still fun to play. I stream YouTube on one monitor and on my other monitor I wiz around the map going 70kmh in my heavy Obj 292, ramming into tanks, auto locking onto things and blasting them with 760 alpha. I would recommend, you can easily make a few millions in a couple of hours

#

Then as a treat, I pause YouTube so I can concentrate whilst I play a few games in my Tier 10’s :))

#

A funny old thing, isn’t it? 🤣

I’d figure someone with as many battles as you have would atleast try to have a point other than “trust me bro”

#

If you’ve got a screenshot with 50-60k silver lost in cw (without the use of gold rounds) ill screw off.
