There's a lot of numbers between 4 and 20 (420 damn blaze it), where your argument doesn't work. It also assumes everyone has the same stash managing capacity, which they don't. 20 is 5 times more than 4 = 5 times more item storing/selling space. Please look at it more objectively.
well u assume everyone is efficient as everyone else. but i can honestly tell you that's not the case. i have 55+ tabs and i don't win shit. no mirror/ hh/ mageblood or anything close to it yet with 7k hours :P
so what do i win? please tell me that then?
3.26 when?
Don't abandon us. don't turn your backs on the ones loving poe.
It's not pay to win, as you don't win anything no matter how much money you spend.
There is no argument. Just pointless arguing.

I dont redefine anything, you try to do it. Also yes, even in your hyperbolic example its not p2w as long as the price tag is not retarded. You have no advantage over someone who also got that weapon therfore you are not stronger so its not p2w, its just a price to play the game.

See spending this 30$ lets me be on par with a dude that spent 10 000. How can this be p2w?


Your bad faith argument 2.01 - "If EVERY player has the option or ability to access the "Alleged" p2w product, buying it, then it's no longer P2W. This is just big brain moves. Wow guys, just buy the p2w items and the game is not p2w anymore for your demographic. And if you make 100% players buy the thing, nobody has an advantage kek =logic"

Ah the age old argument.

It is p2w.

Cosmetic MTX are not, but tabs are. Especially the kind that allows you to go past stack limit or upgrade components in a single click.

PoE after all these years still isn't an all-out Korean buy-immunity or mobile buy-exalts shitfest, but tabs are what they are.



Yep, and the problem is worsened by the fact that ggg is hell bent on keeping the trade process as bad and as time consuming it is. Because that gives higher engagement charts, albeit forced, and stash sales.

You can see how near-identical the trading process is to some of the time restricting mechanics of mobile games, but tweaked a bit for differing advantages -but not for the players.

Look: GGG could either limit us to four vanilla stash tabs and call it a day, or make more and better stash tabs available. But in doing so, they have to limit them somehow; they can't just hand them out willy-nilly... Or is that what you expect them to do, and for free? Aside from the fact that stash tabs pay to keep the servers running, of course, way ahead of all other MTX sales in revenue generation... =9[.]9=


It's much simpler than that - FIX Trade system's SLOW movement of items, the Extremely temporal chained to near-petrification rate of trading (even the very process of contacting sellers is absolute herpes. The intentional "limiting selling only when playing game" must be removed as it literally 'redlines' certain areas of the world based on their active hours coinciding. The whole market is NEVER fully accessible as people keep waking up and going to sleep (often just afk idle in hideout to sell items by getting orders that wait- all giving ggg massive spike in FAKE, forced player engagement).

Don't leave "the option of selling a listed item" with the seller. They will *OBVIOUSLY abuse it and manipulate price by item dangling* at whim. How to even blame the scalpers, it's all incentivized by ggg.

etc etc


I never said 'it's too expensive', or 'make it free'. Make it worth buying. The interface EVEN IN PREMIUMS, is bare-boned, so even when people PAY IN FULL - they STILL suffer from a poorly made system which is a slight, paid-for-improvement over its inferior precursor.

3rd party tools have better search for one example- ggg will probably rip them off and gut their earnings once they improve it enough, probably -just like poe/trade


NONE of what you just posted has anything to do with P2W. It's a complaint about trade. I'll just drop you a "Nice Strawman" and leave you to it. =9[.]9=



False strawman call out >:(

Mischaracterizing my argument and pretending like stash and trade are completely unrelated mechanisms, and that controlling one does not affect the earnings from the other. Big sheeeesh kebab.

It really depends on how we see the world doesn't it? If it's purely deterministic; we then have no way to change the day. The good thing about which is that if it's a good day coming up, we can't escape it!
I will say the same thing I have have said for years now. If you play the game a lot and are unwilling to support GGG at all you are being unreasonable and cheap. GGG has a few faults but being greedy is not one of them IMO.

Can't speak for OP, but I didn't call anyone greedy.
on the contrary, GGG are proof that a game company can achieve success in today's world, without being focused on short-term profit like ... ahem ... others in the industry.

That said, if you wish to support you could have bought exclusively MTX, pets etc'.
but you got tabs.
we all got tabs.

EDIT: And before anyone pulls out the "Tabs are a popular MTX" excuse - no.
Purple pixie wings are a popular MTX because there were 3 guys in Act 4 town with them.
Saying Tabs are just a "popular MTX" is like calling taxes and electric bills a popular pastime.

What are you winning? space to dump shit into to possibly make trade a little bit easier.

It's convenience that is negated quickly by having to many tabs and too much shit in them trying to trade it, playing the trading game isn't winning....it's a different game entirely
