Well folks, it’s that time again. It’s time to take a look at the typical World of Tanks player and wonder, “Why the flying hell does this guy STILL play this game?”
Today, we’ll be looking at pbenjaminn, an epic exhibit A on how Wargaming manages to survive.
Most of us with brains either don’t play the game at all anymore or at best play very sparingly because we realized long ago that there’s really just no fucking point in it. If you’re not power platooned up in whatever the OP tank of the month is spamming non-stop gold rounds with 5 skill crews, you’re just fucked. End of story.
But not good old pbenjaminn. This guy is, and I say this with not only full sincerity but with a sense of awe, the ULTIMATE glutton for punishment.
So let’s take a look at a few basic stats on pbenjaminn:
So what does he actually think about this game he has played for so long? Well, folks, he hates it. What’s more, he’s hated it for a very, very long time. In fact, he’s hated it pretty much since he started playing it. Hold on to your ass and don’t drink anything, because his rants agaisnt the game are long and extensive.
But lets give Wargaming a bit of benefit of the doubt even though the worthless bastards don’t deserve it. Let’s assume that’s his first post, some 4 years, 6 months and 14 days ago.
From this point on, he does absolutely NOTHING but incessantly bitch. I’m not about to bog down my fucking server with the sheer biblical volume of his bitching, so I’m just going to cherry pick some of his post over that span of time.
Now folks, I cropped out the stickies and the announcement threads at the top of that forum just to show you the actual locked threads. It’s fucking unreal. The guy owns 90% of them.
So if he hates the game that god damned much, why keep playing it, right? I mean, we’ve all been there. We’ve all struggled to quit. It’s like fucking smoking – hard as hell to finally let it go.
But this isn’t about game play. It’s about gambling. People keep on thinking if they pay a little more, get a little more invested, it will FINALLY start to pay off.
Las Vegas makes its billions the same exact fucking way. They get people like this who are actually sick. They’re fucking addicted. And they milk them dry for every single fucking penny they can get.
Don’t think so? Check out pbenjaminn’s hardware:

Folks, that is some serious fucking cheddar. Samolians. Cisterci. Drachmas. Deutschmarks. Dollars. Greenbacks. Pounds Sterling, Franks, Rubles, Lira, Yen, Clams. What-the-fuck-ever.
Know what else? The fucking guy is STILL playing.
pbenjaminn, buddy, pal…you need help. Seriously. If you don’t get help at Charter, get help somewhere.
Footnote 6/3/2021: He is STILL playing.

Wow. Of all the threads he created I haven’t found one in which he returns.

So let’s take a look at a few basic stats on pbenjaminn:
- Sign up date: 6-28-2013 (he’s been playing for 6 years, 2 months and 14 days as of this writing)
- Number of games played: 37,991 (an average of 17 games per day)
- Win rate: 49.9%
- Wn8: 1297

In fact, he’s hated it pretty much since he started playing it. Hold on to your ass and don’t drink anything, because his rants agaisnt the game are long and extensive.
That’s as far back as his posting history goes. It’s the first in his history on the forum as of this writing. Now, we all know that Wargaming purged the NA forums of a LOT of shit back in 2015, so odds are pbenjaminn was bitching long before this.
But lets give Wargaming a bit of benefit of the doubt even though the worthless bastards don’t deserve it. Let’s assume that’s his first post, some 4 years, 6 months and 14 days ago.

You get the idea. And it got worse and worse and worse until eventually he completely OWNED the locked thread archive until his perma-ban from the forums on September 4th:
