General Discussion - Garena is adding skill tree resets as a micro transaction in 1.1.3. Thoughts? - Forum

Seems like a very dangerous path to walk down. I don't like the idea of bastardized versions of PoE floating around out there. Is licensing PoE to companies that are gonna add P2W really any different than just making it P2W?	Posted by Zaqwert#4447 on Apr 30, 2014, 9:12:45 PM Quote this Post
Interesting reddit post: " " Their audience likes different things in games. Bullshit. Source: Live in Malaysia. The "audience" they cater to. And when I say nobody likes it, I mean it. I've worked in the fucking industry. Singaporeans/Malaysians are just so apathetic towards shit like this in general which is exactly why companies here do this all the time. Oh and if its fun for you, new players (from our region) who type in www.pathofexile.com get instantly rerouted to Garena's webpage instead of the legitimate intl. page. I had returning players ask me if they were going to be hacked. This is the exact same bullshit they pulled with League of Legends when all I wanted to do back then was read the funny shit on their international forums. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.	Posted by mazul#2568 on Apr 30, 2014, 9:14:34 PM Quote this Post

That was me :w People don't like it. But they do it because they don't or haven't seen that there are options. Those that do realize often move to the better option. We have the same problem with piracy here. People are stuck in the mindset that pirating a game for $10 worth of disks is cheaper than buying it off steam for $3 on sale. They do not know that a better option exists and this is what companies like this capitalize on, hence why they've been going out of their way to prevent access to the intl. version or even viewing this website. The premise is built on the customer being ignorant and staying that way. Thankfully people are slowly coming to grasp with this. Remember my words Chris. I told you 6 months ago on reddit that you'd eat your words. Last edited by Lyralei#5969 on Apr 30, 2014, 9:24:31 PM	Posted by Lyralei#5969 on Apr 30, 2014, 9:23:05 PM Quote this Post
I don't think it's a big deal. I'd rather see GGG offer it than let people be tempted by RMT to do it (or use it as an excuse to RMT for other things). I know snapshotting is powerful and all, but I can't image people would be blowing $10 or whatever for a single instance run.	Posted by jabbedxorz#3791 on Apr 30, 2014, 9:36:11 PM Quote this Post

I agree, I do not like this GGG's intention, and "(This is not a restriction)" phrase in the page which east Asian players are forced to see to enter the PoE official web site.

Oh no, what a disgusting move. Clearly, I keep promoting Path of Exile to my friends with the pride of saying "This is the only online game I ever found that is not pay to win at all, all you buy from cash shop is effects and skins!". What about the promise and oath that GGG listed in the front page of the game feature The game is completely free and will never be "pay to win". For Chris to reply "This will never be implemented in our server, besides its not that gamebreaking", it was so disappointing. Not that much term is being used now instead of "never will be pay to win". Take back your words GGG. Whatever features being implemented in Garena POE happens after you all in GGG gives approval. That's a bad move, dignity crushing decision. I'm totally losing my confident in you guys.
