may you elaborate what advantage i have over other players in ssf? because i play ssf only , yet i have alot of stashtabs

Would the game be more tedious for you in SSF with only 4 regular stash tabs?

Would you be spending time muling items to other characters or alt accounts?

Would you be willing to play an entire league SSF only using 4 regular, non-quad tabs? Or would it be painful because you would miss the advantages you get from the extra tabs?

My 2 cents on this p2w or not is that poe is not pay to win, its been extensively proved that you can clear every content with just the starting tabs, BUT there is definetly pay for convenience, extra tabs makes the experience much smoother

But the game is unquestionably free to try, i reccomend every new player to complete the story before buying anything. If you enjoy the game, you can buy some basics. I consider basics a currency tab, a map tab and maybe a quad tab. If you experience the post story mapping portion and enjoy, also get a fragment tab

Those are really the "important" ones and with just these you will have a smooth experience. That basic set can be aquired with about the same price a starter pack on most average mobile games and cheaper than lots of indie games(also, try to buy on a sale, tab sales happens every other weekend)

dont forgett the first blood supporter pack, 1x buyable, got some mini mtx and enough points to get someone started with tabs for 20bucks

4) poe isn't pay to win

PoE is definitely pay-2-win. Spending money on stash tabs gives you an advantage over people who does not, which is the very definitely of p2w.



Wrong. There is no advantage and poe is not p2w.

And your answer to that question was "yes", so you are aware of the advantages that you get from buying extra stash tabs.

GGG has made plenty of questionable decisions, but selling stash tabs was not one of them. Aside from being perhaps the biggest source of revenue keeping the servers running, stash tab sales were really the only solution, even if imperfect, to the question of how to make more stash tabs available to the players.

GGG could have simply left everyone limited to the initial four tabs (which was, relatively speaking, a pretty generous number to start with). Otherwise, they would have had to do one of two things, only one of which makes any sense: Give them away in unlimited numbers on demand, or sell them.

The rest, as they say, is history. ='[.]'=

Hey Ray! Good to see you!

Yes, selling stash tabs was the rational choice. It's when people - people who have bought more tabs - say that extra tabs, premium tabs, currency tabs, etc. do not provide an advantage that I disagree.

I have a 4-tab alt account for extreme SSF, and I remember how painful it was before resonators could stack.

There is no content in the game locked behind any shop purchase.

There is nothing you can purchase that will increase your character's power.

There is nothing you can purchase that will speed up your character's progression.

Because of those facts, I personally don't think PoE falls under the P2W umbrella.

But

The free stash space you get is way too small to feel comfortable after more than a handful of hours of playing, and you will feel the desire to add more, and that will cost a modest amount of money.

If you want to participate in the player economy, you will feel the pressure to purchase the "premium" tabs that allow easy listing of your items in the marketplace.

You absolutely *can* play every bit of content in this game without ever spending a bit of money. But you'll want to, eventually. And that's ok.
