Can we stop pretending that Path of Exile is free to play?

That statement is nonsense and has nothing to do with the rest of your silly post. Look up the word correlate. You are using it incorrectly.

No offense but im bored of debunking this line of flawed reasoning, go read the last 10 pages or so of this thread if you wanna read a bit how efficient wealth gathering works in PoE.

I think most people that have your line of reasoning probably never had more then 100 exalts in a single league and for good reason.

Hoarding isn't a good trait when it comes to PoE, it's just a personal thing that people enjoy doing for the sake of doing it.
I wouldn't want to know how many remove only tabs exist in standard league filled with "promises of 1000000's of chaos orbs".

As for the SSF advantage, that's similarly bunk, you can easily rush a char to endgame and put the items directly on it and four tabs is more then sufficient to keep a second set of gear for characters that need optimized bossing gear.

It's probably the same flawed reasoning of "this will sell for something" that goes into "i might use this for another character later".
Both of which i would reckon end up 95% in a standard remove stash.

It's like keeping that rise of the phoenix for that RF char your never going to make instead of getting the alch shards out of it and moving on.

Like i mentioned earlier in this thread, game knowledge generates wealth, stash tabs do not.

Peace,

Which still doesn't matter in the context that people in this thread claim that PoE is not F2P which would - by definition - mean that you have to pay GGG an upfront amount of money to access any of the game's content. That is not the case as all content of PoE is layed out to the player for free. I could - right now - make a new account, start a new character and play the entire game. That is the essence of a F2P model. Stash tabs are optional to playing the game.

Can we agree on this? I sure hope, because that'd mean you're open to reason

You basically described common business model - buy product and use it after.

Maybe you are psycho enough to play content of poe with four tabs, but I really doubt that. Nevertheless access to content doesnt mean its f2p in global definition.

If you think stash tabs are optional, than yes, it can be f2p. But I am pretty sure, you wouldnt play the game with 4 tabs as its mentally very challanging and you wouldnt reach items other players have and leave you far behind, and that is the reason why poe is not considered f2p; your chances are not equal against players with tabs.

just because stash tabs offer a considerable advantage doesn't mean PoE isn't free to play it just means it's p2w which is different you don't have to pay to play

I am not sure what you wrote as it seams that both part of your sentence are saying the same, but +1.
