You play the for the first time game and you have fun

After reaching a higher tier you are shocked by the time it takes to grind one vehicle

you keep grinding convincing to yourself that it the grind will only get easier as you play more

After grinding for days only to unlock maybe 1 high tier tank your anger starts to slip out.

You start to consider buying premiums because that may be the solution to all of this

You realise that premiums do help but only on one tree and you are now broke and depressed

You realise the less you play war thunder the more socially acceptable you become

You finally uninstall war thunder and accept that it may be the best decision after all, you look back at your past self and wonder how you could have been this stupid all along
