at what level does your character stop looking retarded?

Yeah, intentionally uninspired, visually repulsive artwork is always a positive game feature.

Hey,you can look good on the cheap

strap-on some free mtx like footprints and weapon effects and you wont be THAT bad :)

Honestly I think 90% of the MTX armors look retarded.

For every character that I end up playing extensively I like to buy a 10 skin transfers and some of the cheaper unique armors and helmets.

There are a lot of cheap items that do look cool.

(Special Effects)
Belt of the deciever
Maligaro's Restraint
Loris Lantern
Shapers Seed(?)

All the characters wear the armors differently though, so some might look horrible on one and really cool on another. Case and point Hyrri's Ire.



Drop like 5$ one time skin transfers and you are set for a character or two.

POE isn't P2win. It's P2notlookstupid.

None of these items are MTX (minus the weapon effects):





Point being you have the possibility to look like a weathered exile instead of a hobo or fairy.

When you get some okay looking uniques.

Its free to play. Point me to one free to play game that doesnt looks shit at a base level, pro tip, you cant because none of them do.

They make money off of selling visuals, you sound like a complete whiny leech with your statement. LUL

Solwitch... is.. is that you?

Wear some gear that looks good like Devoto's Devotion and Cherrubim's Maleficence which I am wearing now.

You don't get it. The visual micro transactions will always sell because they're different (novelty, refreshing), attractive to 'collectors', 'unique' (thematically), allow for wider style customization, more detailed, etc. That doesn't mean the base artwork needs to be bad for that to happen, things are good by own merit and not by comparison to some purposely low standard.
Look at Tera (for ex.). Cosmetics sell like CRAZY and still the base artwork is (if you like that style) quite impressive. There's one solid example as you requested. Another one would be SkyForge.

PoE is a successful game. At this point, they SHOULD have hired much higher caliber artists and get rid of the amateurs they started with.
Bad artwork is bad artwork and it has nothing to with 'a better business model' (it's bad for business, in fact).

'A free to play game has to look like crap and everything 'not horrible' should require $ unlocks'. Can you see how stupid that sounds? Those are your words, man :)
You even try to set it as some 'standard' while in fact it isn't, it's more like an exception. Bad artwork isn't a standard and isn't 'strategy', it's a deficiency.

'Everything must be given for free in a game that has no sub and no buy to play'. That's equally stupid, I don't know why you got the impression that was what I was saying.
