And before anyone goes complaining how expensive it is to be a nerd, go google how much sporting equipment costs.

Played hockey all my life, startup costs on new gear + skates is around $1200. Then you outgrow it constantly through middle school/high school. Skates need replaced, and are $300-400 a pair.

Probably spent about $5-6,000 in total from middle school to high school playing hockey when all is said and done (includes travel, outside hours practice, camps, etc.).

And I have spent way more time playing PoE than I did playing hockey.
lol you can easily cut 70% of that hockey gear cost just by buying intelligently

also, there is gear you dont have to replace during the whole process, ie gloves from 10+ are the same

and in the end, you'll be healthier playing hockey than playing video game

i know, when i dont run my company, my spare time is 30% Hockey, 69% POE

A bit more than I thought I did. OTOH I've got >1200 hours played on steam (and a few hundred more from the GGG client) vs 50-100 hours per major game; so for the time spent I'm not paying GGG any more than I did assorted AAA publishers.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

PoE has too many poor design decisions imo but whatever
1- 50$, the Apprentice pack.
2-I'm happy with this amount, I usually buy/support for max 50€... Plus it was right imo to support GGG for this great game.
3- Don't really think so, but never know. I feel I've given them the right amount of money for the game.
4-Satisfied, the armor is cool and the stash tabs I bought with the points help.

Maybe around 500$. Worth it considering how many thousand of hours I spent there...

thanks for the support, every little helps.

just as a comparison to another online game, with your 50$ you can buy world of warcraft, get the latest xpac and play for a month.

one month! not the 2 years you played poe.
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Hi All,

I'm really interested in how much everyone has spent in game, so I want to ask these four questions. I am genuinely interested.

1 - How much have you spent so far on the game?

2 - Do you think you've spent too much, too little or you're happy with what you've spent?

3 - Will you buy some/more points at a later date?

4 - Was what you bought worth the cost?

>$500 USD Christ what am I doing with my life...


1 - Around $200
2 - I think it's fair, not happy or sad, wish there was a retro perm league tho (no legacy bs)
3 - Maybe
4 - I think so
The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.

Welcome to PoE.
premium tabs for stash/guildstash and a couple of skins, havent spent much at all, but i will buy some 1k points soon and maybe a supporter pack
Set sail for epic fail
- 100-150 Euro
- A bit too much but the game is good and is the fact that you can reward people for doing good work is quite rare nowadays ( it can be better but hey already super )
- Maybe if Awakening will be a good exapnsion i will give some money to GGG cause they earn it :D
- More premium stash , Alt Effect are useless i'm not that kind of player :D
