The biggest games in the world are f2p and have no pressure to buy shit. Poe stash tab is HEAVY QoL + borderline p2w.

LoL has boosting problems and other innumerable other issues within that drives its economic figures and gets $$ from tencent supported boosting practices and cheating.

Dota is much the same.

hots is basically dead still with much the same as above.

apex is new and has lootbox mechanics much the same as tft and above.

fortnite scams little kids in same said loot boxes and brand promo deals.

pubg originally was not f2p iirc.

valorant is a cheap OW/CS;GO clone with the same issues attached to it.

rocket league is a nothing burger.

The other factor is all these games have zero continuity of play and are instance matchmaking. nothing persistent or otherwise involved in trading. You don't need stashtabs for SSF. saying its pay to win is foolish when mfers spam trade chat just like any other game and get by just fine. Stash shop experience is a convenience that saves you time, and if you grinding f2p or are casual you don't got shit worth selling half the time anyway.

You can tell other game's f2p model is better when above guy's best reply is to make fun of the other games instead of writing meaningful rebuttal.

You really can't read. Arena pvp games have zero continuity. They don't allow player trade really either save for $$ level shit.

and once again you have no meaningful rebuttal

nobody gives a shit if a game has continuity or not all that matters is if the game can sustain a consistent population

keep talking about irrelevant shit please

poe is pay to win cuz u cant fit so many items in 4 stash tabs u have to buy more to stay competitive in the game's economy

RLY? Say back in trade, delve league or so, i flipped influenced bases using only one regular tab and it worked fine. It was premium of course but there was and probably is enough crutches to automate listing your crap the old way via forums if you so against coughing up that couple dollars to upgrade it.

Also, what egg-sactly is to win there - a princess, a castle, or maybe an invite to zana's private instagram? I'd rather define extra stash tabs as "pay for convenience", which is perfectly fine cause ya know, devs have to feed their families somehow.
