Yeah . Just pay 24$ with no mods for 30 days or 12$ for 10 days.
Not much money but still you pay for QoL (avoid seeing other MTX) that should be in the base game already.

I am so tired of all opinions without any WHY???????? Think about it. Come back later! And do not forget why should it be ... Is there more we should turn on and off? Can I turn off all obstacles in act 10? Or the wings of Sin?

If you are playing a game where there is other people live with it! You have millions of single player games! Don't miss that train!

Not everything cosmetic is subjective otherwise there wouldn't be whole careers dedicated at studying visual design.

And the idea that any exposure is good exposure is stupid in the first place since seeing how ugly some of the cosmetics are and how disruptive to the game visuals they are, makes me not want to buy any. And i spent quite a lot more on other F2P on skins when they were good. So that's not a good point either, hell seeing how in bad taste they are i don't even want to buy anything else.

If people are interested in the cosmetics, they will leave the option on anyway since it would be on by default.

So, you still call the cosmetics in PoE ugly and garbage, but now bring objective into it? This just makes it clear you have 0 clue, and just post angry rants to vent.

I'd say that PoE cosmetics are some of the best in the business, and even though there are some inspirations from major and not so major franchises here or there heh, PoE's spin of those is usually on point. Subjective though heh.

Also, PoE isn't ugly, it looks good, especially given its age.

Line of the year right here!

Everything about cosmetics is subjective. Everything about art in general is subjective. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about re: "whole careers".

In fact, that is precisely what makes those careers so SUBJECTIVELY lucrative or totally worthless. Do you like 18th century classical chamber music? Do you like 21st century R&B? How about Picasso? Or maybe Gregorian Chant?

Which is better, 32bit graphics or 4k graphics? Which do you like more, the color purple or the color green?

I could spend my entire life creating some kind of visual art that I am incredibly proud of and love...and show it to 10 of my neighbors and get 10 totally different responses.

My god man...someone get him a trophy!

The actual programming behind the cosmetics might be the only thing that is NOT subjective...because there is only one way to do certain things. BUT EVEN THEN, most people have their own "style" of coding.

The MTX in this game is very elaborate - they give you the option of going tasteful or garish - cute or vile. You can look like a gothic knight or an LSD neon nightmare - and that is fine in my opinion.

They caters to many tastes. I don't see this as a problem.

L post of the year bruh.

Literally the best cosmetics I've seen in any game period.
