At all levels, my full concentration should be on that and anything that detracts from that affects my performance - there are no spare resources if I am giving it my all. Rather than being judged by how we are playing at that moment, judgement has already been made and my teammates minds' are probably closed to the possibility that I might be an equal member of the team.įinally, being a member of a team means that I do my best to make the most significant contribution in the right place and at the right time. The most depressing part is that you would identify me as someone not to support, but I frequently have "bursts of brilliance" that dramatically affect a game (I am learning to identify times when I shouldn't play Randoms or even WOWS to avoid the potato periods.) Worse would be, just like in WOT, myself (and other highly team oriented player) would know that others feel that we are a detriment to the team before the battle even starts. Worse, XVM does not differentiate between a fresh and tired player n the match, or any of the other variables that affect a particular match. With winning the battle being the goal of the game, it can't be WTR because winning is only 20% of that stat. And, what could be used for XVM in WOWS? Can't be XP because standard and premium accounts are not differentiated so, a standard player will earn a much lower XP than a standard player with the same results.Ĭan't be damage, because it is not hard to farm damage in WOWS while not achieving the objective: winning. I experimented and focused on damage - up went my XVM, but not WR, which is the whole objective. In WOT for example, there are unicum level players that purposefullly mess up a couple of games after a good one to keep their XVM low and stay unfocused. The problem is that there is no metric that shows who a good player is. I will note that whenever I have seen XVM discussed the conversation generates friction. XVM has caused me harm, but it appears to help others. I don't want XVM, but there are others that do.

This is a valid discussion and comes up often. I have a research background and it is automatic for me to dig around before I make a comment. Wow, was that to me? I did a quick Google search and pulled up those topics as examples.
