Ignore the recent (~Nov 6 2023) negative reviews
Gaijin didn't add the top tier vehicles to the anniversary store sale
which is a good thing , since High tier won't be filled with beginners who bought
fancy modern tank/plane on sale , dies and then leaves.
Gaijin so far has done what they said they'd add , aka RP bonuses , better economy (arguable)
made the Maus still researchable after the event if you had progress in it (long requested)
fixed SAM missiles (Arguable for some SAM vehicles)
changed the BR of most vehicles to make them more fair to use/fight against
etc.

in the past sales , there wasnt even a 50% for single store vehicles , you had to buy multiple , sometimes not all vehicles were up for sale.
the 10th anniversary had all store vehicles up for 50% (except the newest ones at the time) since it was the 10th anniversary
Sure , what they did is kinda weird , but it aint a rug pull if you have been playing this game for years , you knew what to expect

Regarding new players buying into top tier.

Its seemingly the opposite. Vehicles like the wolf pack and 2s38 had 50% discounts. By not having vehicles like the KVT and Turms on sale it means those players are still playing top tier but they have access to one vehicle (assuming they do not want to spend $60-$65 on a second.).

The reviews are negative as what they pulled is almost predatory. It seems clear that they wanted people to buy GE premiums on sale expecting to build a lineup, and now be faced with either double the expected cost or being stuck with a one vehicle lineup. This sale hasn't helped the one death issue only exacerbated it.

Had they announced which packs would be on sale at the beginning of the Anniversary I'm sure people would still be disappointed and upset but they would not feel like the rug had been pulled. Some people are definitely over reacting but the broader negative community response is absolutely justified.
