you and SOE is completely right. more solo mbts means more people spending cash. that has also led to tank spam. at this point need for profit is overcome by need to maintain a balanced playable game.
is that tactic really squeezeing extra money? most tanks stick with vulcan/saron/enforcer. the big bucks is on infantry weapons. smgs, ns guns, shotguns, new max guns. much more stuff to spend money on.
you just cant have that much saturation for a heavy weapons platform, and make it so deadly, durable, and disposable.
this is why SOE is releasing new vehicles intead of even more weapons for the tanks. this way they will spread out the cash spending more evenly. lower player "investment" on mbts, increase vehicle diversity.
