What's stopping you from buying a Supporter Pack for Path of Exile?

I've probably spent more money on this game than any other but I still plan to spend more in the future. I was pretty stingy about spending money on PC Games in general so I used to search the net for free to play MMORPG's cause I couldn't afford titles such as Diablo or even fork out the monthly fee for WoW. Looking back and then assessing my current gaming spending, I would've never guessed I'd be that much spent on a single game. No regrets or anything like that but I wonder what are some of other people's reason to not donate/support any money for what's pretty much the best free to play game I've ever played.

Right now my personal reasons are:
-Most of my point spent went to the Guild System & Stash Tabs, so I purchase based on current in game needs I can't get around.
-The Jump from Master -> Grandmaster needs a second thought due to the maps recent release and the Feedback I heard from others :/
-The last and probably my biggest reason I haven't donated more is that the AUS > USD rate is horrible

Oh this question was meant for those that haven't purchased any at all but those that have previously what's stopping you from buying more or another one?

Heyo!

I've supported (obviously) because of my immense passion for the game! I can't find anything that I personally find better to do with my free time. I love the possibilities in the game. I love the constant item hunt. I love the builds and for the most part I love the devs. They do a good job within the constraints they've placed on themselves. They have their own vision for the game and they do what they can since they aren't a triple A business. I always find myself having fun in the game.

Remove only stash tabs.
No promissed trade system.
Still no way to use the rewards from racing for their looks even though they spend time and monry making them.
Focus on pvp that very few people care about while ignoring self found league requests since forever even though lots of people would love those.
Price of cosmetics.
Aesthetic of cosmetics all these full armor sets meh.
Their focus on economy which pretty much goes belly up when new suckers stop showing up to buy.
The fact that they stopped treating us as partners and instead ignoring anything they don't like answering or beating around the bush take the whole warcry thing everyone with half a brain cell realizes their mainreason for doing that is to remove the broken immortall call end cry cwdt combo but they never say it and as a result most of the comments are about exactly what was unsaid. You cannot have a conversation when one of the sides tries to weasel in bad news trying to pass it around as good news. The whole trigger thing has been a fiasco from day one and mishandled all the way in, build of the week using cwdt the nerf when people did exactly what the devs themselves showed to be normal behaviour all the nerfs after ahd now this and all they need to do is say we fucked up, the game is suffering because of this combo these warcry things are not here to replace the combo they are here to give str characters a way to get competitive in the support department, we will also take a look at the reasons cwdt combo appears mandatory devourers leapers chargers and phisical reflect. They did similar things in the past and were forgiven but now they don't trust us to accept it so they obfuscate and what they get instead is resentment and it is all their fault.

Pretty poor atm and don't particularly like this round of packs.

I prefer to just occasionlly buy 200pts.

Simply put, its not my kinda ARPG. Too much MMO here. I've spent money elsewhere. I'm in it for the loot. I don't enjoy this flavor of itemization.

The armour in the new packs is 'nice' and I'd buy them as individual transactions. Other than that, the pack is completely uninteresting to me. For starters, I will likely never see the grand master hall myself.

I've been playing for a bit and regret missing out on previous packs.

I love the supporter packs, and can't wait to see what packs will be available with the release of Act 4 as there will surely be new packs.

Only thing that has kept me from buying the more expensive ones is my wife, hehe.

PoE is now the game that I have spent the most money on ever. Not bad for a f2p game!

And I'm quite certain that i haven't bought my last supporter pack yet :)

I got a counterquestion: do you realize the difference between buying a supporter pack and supporting GGG economically?

Reason is: I quit.
This is the first time I am looking at forums since 1.3 nerf (which is when I played for the last time).

My gaming budget is $100 a month which goes for games and streamers. It took me loooong time to realize how much of shitheads PoE devs are and how much they don't care about players. Well we don't need to play PoE. I played through many nerfs in the past hoping that GGG will listen and stop the bullshit. Well 1.3 was the last straw for me. I have never seen a better concept of the game and shame is that the execution of it is the shittiest in the gaming history.
I have "rebalanced" my $$$ elsewhere and will not waste money on another support pack. However I will check back with Act 4 patch notes and if all 1.3 nerfs are reverted and few more buffs added (ie better drop rates, health...) I will definitely install PoE and play.

GGG needs to earn their $$$ by offering a playable game, not rng "never get anything" bullshit with constant nerfs and broken economy.

Welcome to 21st century GGG, wake up and fix PoE!

Don't agree with this at all. I still pickup white/blue Jewellery in high level areas. I say they are pretty useful.
