Game is playable with 4 tabs, I play with only 4 free tabs, did 22 challenges in PerandusHC and 24 in EssenceHC, I enjoy the game.

DivCards? shit, dont pickup or sell right away if cost at least chaos

Essences? lowlevel is for chaos recipe, highlevel far too rare

Maps? lowlevel for 3->1 recipe, highlevel far too rare

So my stash looks like
* currency
* useful stuff like flasks, swap res jewelry, leveling uniques
* chaos recipe/ q gems/ few useful div cards/few useful essences
* maps/ offering/ sac frags

I fill a tab with red maps, thus never complained about mapdrops...
Now that's a lot of currency you're missing.

But here is the other thing.
Technically, a lot of people were "lured into" this game back in 2012\2013 because of many things which it offered in comparison with other AAA products.
However, GGG are cutting down pretty huge chunk of players from playing it.
How? Read above? They don't give the choice.
Choice to disable\tone down particle effects\rain\fog\shadows.
And many other things.
Internal meme "BUT MUH IMMERSION", for example, is a living proof of weird decisions which might lead this company into dead end. But it's not only this...

again, just a matter of perspective. I buy supporter packs as thanks for the time I had with the game up to that point, not in expectation of what is to come. so even if the game suddenly goes into a direciton I no longer enjoy and stop playing, I would not regret having supported, because I supported for the time I did get out of it and enjoyed.

I get where you come from and just like OP applaud your good intentions, but I still disagree and have zero sympathy for people expecting to just have everything given to them. I dream of a Nissan GTR too but I cannot afford a car so have to walk 4 hours a day to get to work and back, wouldn't even dream about complaining about it though or expecting to just be given a car. People need to lower their expectations to suit their lifestyle and stop being such whiny snowflakes

Oh... and please give me one good reason GGG should care about kids playing their game that can't afford to chip in a couple bucks.

They might get some money some time in the future.
They talk to their friends who may have money (or mummy's credit card).
They might write lots of nice reviews on Steam that attract paying customers.

And probably many more reasons why even non-paying people should be treated nicely.

Now we see a businessman talkin' One fellow exile sees my point!

Essence tab is kinda unneeded for anyone who has normal tabs tbh.

I had all my essences in 1 single normal stash tab last league and sold the good ones I didn't need. No problems at all.

Don't see an immediate need for an essence tab. Maybe if it drops to 20 points.

They get a whole game to play, in my eyes that's enough. 4 stash tabs plus inventory space is an absolute ton compared to 99% of other f2p games out there. Non paying customers get a damn good deal

Now I may be wrong here, but the whole point in downloading a free game is to play it.

POE succeeds in this admirably by not gating any content behind real or perceived paywalls yet people still bitch and whine that people who don't support the game should get more for free. That is the height of entitlement.

The whole "kids cant buy stuff" argument is not valid anymore, minecraft donations laid that to rest years ago.

If a kid likes a game enough, they will ask their parents to buy them something, they get visa gift cards, steam points, the entire gaming world has been designed to allow kids to buy digital goods, this isnt 1995 anymore.

I approve of your commitment and good intentions OP, but sorry, no love for freeloaders, beggers etc from me. you want something in life, fucking work for it. The more money GGG gets, the better quality / more quantity of stuff they can roll out. Absolultey nothing wrong with people not supporting and just enjoying the game, after all, the more people playing, the better for all of us, but they have no right do make demands to get more free stuff. just my opinion :)

The more players who play this game the more successful they will be in the future. This includes the free players who haven't bought premium stash tabs yet and are on the fence of maybe buying one because soon they start to realize you need more than 4 stash tabs to enjoy this game. If they get the wrong impression at the start I don't see them supporting this game and just quitting.

Also the more money a company makes doesn't mean automatically the quality of their games will improve. I'm looking at Blizzard.

If you lay back... Close your eyes and think a little...
... Compared to other f2p games blahblah I don't play f2p BECAUSE of the buy to play propperly or the whole game or all mods or weapons...
THAT's keeping us many players playing THIS game, and supporting this game.

again:
1.make it playable for all playerbase
2.make it more challenging and balanced
3.free and many will join the game
4.keep it that way when adding new conte t, repeat steps 1-3
5.get player supports and long time players!

Repeat 1-4 and LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY!
MAKE NOOBS BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR HEAVENS SAKE
I know of many who left right after entering cruel...
