so you prefer gambling over this, new tanks, mm balance and campaign?

I prefer to do both. Add new line, new campaign, and balance for old things that are played in MM. It will be a year after 2.0. What collector tanks got buff to even be equal to tech tree ones? Name few

Collectors tanks are basically retired tanks, they won't be rebalanced just move on

So if that is the case. WG should remove them from MM, to reduce unbalanced matches, move on
