WoT has gained notoriety and has me looking into it. The game being F2P really drew me into looking into it more. Having been an avid WoW player for a few years (no longer) I saw first hand the effect of real currency being exchanged for game currency. Now I fully admit to having done this myself, but soon found out that those with the discretionary funds for such a thing ruined the game itself. The casual gamer has no chance of competing with those that will trade real for game currency.

So my question regarding that particularly is how bad is it? In order to advance at a decent rate in the game to you have to invest in it therefore defeating the F2P concept?

I could sign up and find out for myself but am hesitant to go around signing up for accounts with reckless abandon. My concern there being my e-footprint.

But beside that one point what's the rest of the game like? Balancing? Gameplay? Support?
