its a hard one to impliment.

you cant refund the points, people bought guild tabs in poe1 and those guilds still have those tabs in poe1. you cant have the thing you bought AND get a refund on it.



the guilds are not the same and shouldnt be the same. people still playing poe1 will probably want to move to guilds active in poe1 while they might play poe2 primarily with people who only play poe2. so the guilds being mirrored would be a bad thing.


they would have to find a way to identify the people who bought the guild features and then somehow give them a voucher that they could claim the equiv guild feature in poe2 with for their current guild. as someone who has always been in guilds that have guild stashes i would love it if they would put the resources towards doing it. i do however recognise that it sounds like a lot of work and its essentially taking resources that cost money and using them to create a feature that will lose them even more money by importing probably millions of $ of mtx from poe1 that will now not be bought in poe2.

PoE2 was marketed as an expansion, Some people purchased this stuff out of support for that expansion which is now no longer an expansion and also does not honor previous promises as to the future of the game, Its only right for them to honor that.

In my case i went all in and got as many of my friends to join this game as possible after Chris Wilsons words on stage at ExileCon i was a true believer and look where we are now..

And i have been asking for a very long time that Guild Micro transactions be bound to the accounts of the users who purchase them and this would result in guilds having to treat their members well to keep them in the guild otherwise if people are unhappy and leave their purchases/tabs all go with them making the unaccounted ones read-only in the guild they left so nobody loses anything.

yeah, honestly thats probably a change they should make to guilds moving forward, i feel like they might have missed an opportunity to properly sort this out right at the start of poe2.


i think the tabs would have to persist for a league and then move to their new guild in a new league? there would have to be some sort of messing around there to prevent a situation where i have 30 guild tabs, i leave my guild, join another, they now have 30 tabs, they can fill them, i leave and they go remove only but are effectively storing tons of stuff, i join another guild, they can fill up 30 tabs, i go back to my original guild, someone from one of these other guilds does a tour of my guild so i can fill his guild stashes with stuff before he leaves... theres shenanigans that have to be designed around but i think it can be done.

we care about long term, if i bring 10 tabs to a guild, i leave the guild and join another maybe my 10 tabs dont come with me until the start of next league. i dunno how this works in standard, maybe tabs can only move once every X amount of months there. even if it was once a year thats surely a better situation than what we have now.

So I don't use guilds or buy mtx/ tabs, but GGG clearly gave the impression that all mtx/ tabs was transferable and usable in both games.

They delayed this early access once they should have done so again, or at least have a very rigid deadline.

From the outside, without a really clear technical explanation of the problem, it appears to be a way to charge players for things they already bought.

Like why can't guild lists transfer from one game to the other? Why can't stash tabs?

I get the complaints here.
