General Discussion - Why Poe is becoming PAY TO WIN GAME - free discusion - Forum

" Pyrokar wrote: Yup, i've already gotten more than the regular amount of tabs, so i've already payed to gain that advantage. It seems to me though that people are forgeting how it is when only using 4. For those i say go and read the thread i linked in the previous page. And as perq said, stuff like Div cards and essences don't make things any better. New players are very pressured to buy tabs nowadays, which wasn't the case in the past. Poe started very good on the p2w scale and it's getting worse and worse. Chris run a survey the first days of essence league to ask if people were willing to pay money for an essence tab. If that's not an eye opener, then i don't know what is. Ok, so now that i've proven that i am not lying. Do you guys require anything else to open your eyes? If not then we can all agree that there is considerable buyable advantage through stash tabs. Some people call it pay2win, some don't. New players will most definitely be affected by the stash tab pressure introduced as of late. It's not like when we old timers started where the forum and 4 tabs were enough for everything. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

The model is perfect. You can play through the entire game and do some mapping for free. Basically you can decide if you really like the game...like spend hundreds of hours like. If it at that point you envision yourself grinding, you buy a set of premium tabs. If it is still working out for you, buy another set and a currency tab when they are on sale. That's more than enough to compete at the highest level. Now you have paid 40 or 50 bucks and can play the game forever with FREE expansions. I have 96 tabs. I used to fill them with junk. Now every league since 2.0, 70+ stay empty and that is with having to store more maps, div cards, essences etc.	Posted by Barivius on Nov 1, 2016, 7:18:38 AM Quote this Post

./popcorn ! Note: Running a company and making a game is obviously free, let's not sell something most people will want at some stage if they so decide to play the game for a long time (lol).	Posted by Mischief67 on Nov 1, 2016, 10:28:57 AM Quote this Post

This thing still on? I payed for stash tabs, currency tab and some other stuff and I'm still not winning. Game is clearly not pay to win. QED.
