All of your points sort of make sense ... until you add in that the counters you provide depend on 'harder to get' prerequisites than 'just downloading a mod' which you can do with no effort. I never got free bonds, never got the t-50-2, am not in a clan, play only weekends consistently (and the occasional evening match on weekdays if I am not dead tired from work) etc. My point remains anecdotal examples aside. Compared to these 3 clear advantage giving things I fail to see how a freely downloadable mod is typecast as 'unfair'. Anybody can get it in minutes. Now this does not mean I approve of just any mod that can be downloaded in the same manner or even these mods in particular. I just find the reasoning in explaining why they are now classified as unfair or even cheats ... well pretty darned flawed.

See and this is where I don't agree with WG ... 1. Selling premium ammo gives an advantage, especially since you are quite likely going to have to buy gold or silver if you spam it. Yet somehow that is not unfair ? 2. Selling premium vehicles ... hey lookie same argument 3. Purple mods (whatever their official name is) ... sure you can get them if you play like a no-lifer ... but for the casual player unless I am missing something, not that much All of these things are according to WG not an issue, mind you I am not arguing here they should be banned or not... Just pointing out some realities... Now here we have a mod, that's free, and anyone can install in minutes ... arguably doing things that a spotter in a tank would do in real life as well ... but somehow it is unfair ? And again not here to debate against or for them being removed. Just pointing out the logic give is pretty darn dubious. Color me confused.
