Let's go over this hypothetically what happened last year. Mind you my numbers won't be straight, but the point will be relatively the same.

WG released tiered lootboxes and even if 75% of the whales said no, you had 25% left who bought into them. Let's say that 25% bought into the whole enchilada to get every "new" tank offered. Compared to a non tiered lootbox, a tiered lootbox needed 400% more purchasing power (Clariification: This is not mark up, just you had to buy way more boxes to complete the enchilada) to get all the tanks. Keep in mind this applied to whales who had everything or 99% of everything (see Auction lootbox BS) to get the whole enchilada.

What this means mathematically is WG at least made roughly the same amount of money from less whales off of a tiered loot box compared to a non tiered loot box.

Personally even with this analysis, I'm not going to support this move once again and will keep doing it even with FOMO.
