Streamer priority is as unethical as p2w. Discuss.

I am personally very disappointed with GGG on this decision.

The implicit understanding has always been, all players are equal, and anything that matters is based on effort you put in within the game. Anti P2W is all about ensuring external means don’t influence ingame achievements. Now GGG is saying not all players are equal.

More. It's literally letting your friends cheat. At least in P2W you benefit from someone else paying your tab... even if they get an advantage for it.

Nope, definitely is. Cant trust GGG with drops/rng now when its in relation to streamers.
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Actually agreeing with shagsbeard for once.

I'm done with this game. If they treat me like sh*t
same ggg it was a very bad move imo
I will no longer buy supporter packs.

And I refuse to watch any streamer playing PoE after this.


Next step is perma uninstall and wait for d2 remastered

It's worse.

P2W is at least honest, if it's a game feature. Unless we're talking about RMT, of course - that against the rules and can and should yield you a ban. Here, GGG are breaking the "rules", giving certain players benefits the rest cannot achieve.
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
It's going to bite them in the ass too. Expect a HUGE fucking apology post over this... and POLICY never to do it again.
