" I think he means to ask if you can also buy cosmetic items as free-to-play player, and to that, i'm not sure. I don't think GGG will make microtransaction items tradeable because that could make the system pay to win ( Selling microtransaction items for orbs = Pay-2-win ) Shoep - Default league Ranger

" Yeah, that would definitely suck, in my opinion. GW2 does this and while some more ardent fans argue that it's not P2W since the company isn't directly selling in-game currency, I still think it's a slippery slope and one that GGG would do well to steer clear of entirely. :) What have you become when even nightmares fear you?

" do you think that special leagues, and guild storage may be purchased with grouped microtransaction's points ? say, something like a pool that can be filled by each participants until activation when the price is reached ? ... nothing

That could be pretty cool, have a special event league and everyone toss in a few points for it as an entry few

" Nah, at best you can transfer Real life money into in-game currency (at a very poor exchange rate) but there isn't really anything good you can buy with in-game money in the first place.

What do you win? Seriously, tell me.
What is there to gain from that XD. Winning implies you were victorious over someone else, which you weren't, and you won't be, regardless of how much in-game money you have. It seems to me like according to most people here, any kind of transaction that occurs with money is Pay to win - Except in POE.

Uhh, the idea of Grinding gear Games from how i understand it, is that they do not want players to be able to buy anything that directly influences their game, characters or wealth.
Buying 10 divine orbs with real life money and spending it on great gear puts you over a advantage to countless of other players who don't have the money to buy those orbs and get the gear, thus making you pay-to-win. The idea of GGG is to sell purely cosmetic items that won't affect your gameplay or wealth, think: Kiwi's Different leagues and rules, Alternate spell effects, ( As in visual, not stat-wise) Gore, Other pets, Taunts and other animations. These items won't give you a advantage over other players at all. Shoep - Default league Ranger
