Am I right or am I right?

It's impressive to see how people always find a way to completely disassemble any arguments. Well done.

Your message was very literal, nobody has disassembled anything. Why act like a victim now when asked for consistency?

How was I acting like a victim? What you said was not to be taken offensively at all (by me anyways), I was simply impressed to see that you found a weakspot, in what I thought to be so well thoughtout and expressed, so easily.
Maybe the way I put it sounded like I got butthurt, but I assure that that is not the case at all.
Infact it's nice to hear someone else's perspective on the topic to add to a list of possible responses to counter more comebacks in future arguments, if necessary.
There are always improvements to be made and if it weren't for mistakes happening, one couldn't improve upon themselves.

Wow, I'm positively surprised and impressed!
Yeah, I did assume you were butthurt - it's just the typical response in such context.

Definition in alcoholism addiction is: if you want/think at least once per month to get drunk, you are addicted.

Now apply to PoE.

So everybody in the world is technically an alcoholic? Neat, you learn something every day.

For example if addicted person to alcohol do not come to job because of hangover, procrastination and drinking instead, do not take care about family the way he did, stops taking care about his goals, smells like spirit etc. - instead of solving issues and put bottle away he drinks again, than we can talk about alcoholism and addiction to alcohol.

If such a person who have this troubles in life and have thoughs about getting drunk for a sake of having a feeling of being drunk, than he is addicted.


ps: nevertheless those who was drinking too much so their mind and body gets "transformed" are in permanent crisis and can not drink at all; my analogy was to PoE should be viewed not from "ps:" part but from the one above

I agree with everything said, although I'd reason the boxes are a necessary evil for GGG to monetize the game. They invest heavily on each league and put that money into growth to deliver better content, the money's gotta come from somewhere. Doing my part in buying the 2 big season-specific supporter packs every season (that's what, 33€ / month?). Not buying boxes, tho.

Necessary evil FOR WHAT!?
You're advocating for lootboxes as something which is necessary. Get real, nobody on the dev team is getting paid more because of them - you're just necessary eviling China's fat pockets while making a pathetic excuse for your gambling habits.

Are you for real? Like, actually for real? You are assuming I have gambling habits? I'm not even buying those boxes.

I'll rather have the lootboxes in the game than having them plug overpriced MTX like crazy or do some other shenanigans like other games who lacked monetization in the past. Spoiler alert: those games went to shit.

It's a free game with a fair business model. If you're having trouble comprehending, then that's on you. Stop shaming people for enjoying a VIDEO GAME.

Don't you see the irony in you talking about

overpriced MTX

while you have ~ $1000 in supporter packs. You're paying $50 to have some shit dripping off of your back in a video game; your Empyrian character set cost you $240 - the price of 4 AAA games, yet here you are making owl eyes in the forums. What's wrong with you?

Path of Exile was flourishing without lootboxes and so too were many other games, the most successful games in the world in the history never used lootboxes and still don't. You yourself know this very well but choose to act ignorant so you could be apologetic towards GGG.

more like 3-4. without DLCs. They might still come with MTX, battle-passes or whatnot.

The time of 40$ AAA was over around 2005 or so. While the retail prices hover at around 60$ for quite some time, the actual price to get to know the full game is on a steep, steep rise.
