I'll concede given your argument that stash tabs can be considered a form of pay to win, over the long term, like playing to 100.

However the point was that they are more pay to win than offering private leagues with extra "fun modifiers".

How many times do you see people comparing their number of stash tabs or complaining someone has more stash tabs than they do versus people comparing rare loot and currency ?

MTX doesn't make you more powerful or richer, so i'd probably drop that comparison, it just doesn't work. The stash tab argument has some weight, but it's not more pay to win than private leagues with more rewards.

I don't understand how you can compare loot and currency drops across separate leagues that can't interact with each other. I would equate it to modding a single player game or a LAN game where you're only playing with friends. There is no competition across separate leagues, so why does it matter if one league has a different set of mods, or even more drops?

I feel like I should reiterate that I'm not even asking for mods that are just pure extra quantity with no downside. I picked Beyond as an example because it's a very dangerous mod but also fun to play.

The MTX comparison works because making your character look nicer can make the game more fun to play for a lot of people.

Looks very interesing.

Again another feature that falls short of what I thought it would be. I think GGG intentionally fucks up wet dreams at this point.

10 people for 2 months is like $42, or $4.20 per person. That really doesn't seem that bad. Maybe it's a lot in your country ?

Only if you want to play with 10 people.

Why not just make it so that you pay per person and everyone who wants to join has to pay his own share? O.o

Also no bulkpurchases is a no go with this feature.

This makes it look like a hugh cash grab.

This is covered in the post i linked, which Chris agreed with.

If it's adding extra quant or improving drops in anyway then it's going to be seen as pay to win.

No extra power, no extra reward, so i don't see or agree with the comparison.

I can kind of see where you are coming from, but it still just sounds like you want something which is pay to win then argue it isn't actually pay to win.

It's ok if you like pay to win systems or want one, that's an opinion lots of people have. Based on the post above i have linked, Chris has basically agreed this is pay to win, and that's why you aren't getting it.

I couldn't care less for this... Happy for those who have longed for this, but I expected something more grand, whelp I hope the other 2 announcements alleviate this for me.

No.

If the private paid league is voided and only between a group of friends, there's no 'winning' except for GGGs pocketbook.
