SUPPORTER PACKS system needs a REWORK!! We need a change in the FOMO(Fear Of Missing Out) issue!

Hellow Exiles and new Players!!
Im here to discuss and suggestion for a REWORK on the Supporter Packs system, how it works, the currrently issues and how it should be!! For NEW PLAYERS COMNIG take attention on this topic! First of all i need to say that im a Supporter of Path Of Exile, i have bought a lot of supporter packs, but it dont change my mind about the issues of the FOMO in these packs. I have started to playing Path of Exile 1 in the Heist League, i as a new player never thought that the Supporter Packs had a limited time to be purchasable, so after 2 leagues ahead i decided to buy some skins and then i realized that 2 supporters packs from previous league wasnt purchasable anymore. In that time, before my attempt to support, i had searched in the PoE Wiki all skins in the game, i find out a looot of good looking skins, weapons, weapons effects, armour sets etc., one more cool than other, and then i go back to the game and realized that 99% of these skins are from old supporter packs, which means that these skins arent purchasalbe anymore, and the most skins that were available at this time to be bought was only very old and very ugly skins. Man, i feels like a stab in my chest, how all these cool skins are unavailable? What the logic behind these unavailable skins? Obs: When i started playing PoE i thought that Supporter Packs were purchased with Points, it take me more than half year to realize that we receive the points as extra points intead of the price of the Supporter Pack. I have met some guys recently who play the game for much more time than me and they thought the same thing until i said to them that the Points in the image of the Supporter Pack its not the price of the Supporter Pack, is the extra points we receive when we buy this Supporter Pack. In the same time i have searched in the forums and reddit about this issue and some people said that these skins should be exclusive and the GGG had promise that this will never change. So since then i always have this question: in WHAT WORLD YOU DESIRE/DEMAND EXCLUSIVITY IN A SOLO-GAME PLAY BASED GAME?? You want to show the skin in the city? Just for that? You want the exclusivity to show your skin in the city? Really? Dont make any sense for a skin exclusivity in a game where we play alone in our maps and hideouts, its NOT a MMORPG or a MOBA where your game-play force you to have contact/interaction directly with other players. In a game where most of us play alone in our hideouts and maps the skins should NEVER be exclusive like the Supporter Packs do! And for last but not least, the FOMO(Fear Of Missing Out) issue. WE HAVE A LIFE, some time we have condition to support, some time we dont, but it dont means that we dont want to support GGG, we just cant at this moment and here is where the FOMO came to ruin our physicology, because if we cant support at this moment due to problems in our lives we now can suffer for miss the supporter pack and regret for not find a way to buy it, because now its gone forever! And YOU GGG said this every time where the old supporter packs end and a new one are coming, you GGG say that "consider purchasing one of those before they leave the store forever" or "will soon be leaving the store forever, so be sure to get yours before they're gone!" You GGG are playing with our mind health! Last year i missed the Core Supporter Pack not because i didnt want to buy, but because i have had a huge change in my life an in that moment i wasnt able to buy the Core Supporter Pack, and now that i have the conditions to buy this supporter pack i cant buy it anymore due to this bullsh*t concept! Now i have my suggestion to solve all this problem, the REWORK i suggest is: All the Supporter Packs should stay the same as it is today, the difference now is when the league ends or when the year ends, all items from old supporter pack will be migrated to the store like any skin item, BUT here's the difference, the ONES WHO BUY as SUPPORTER PACK will receive all the EXTRA-POINTs as it is now a day, and the ones who will buy in the store they will need to buy POINTS or buy a new Supporter Pack to receive the Points to buy the old support pack items skins in the store! So all items from old supporter packs would be bought separately in the store! This will solve all this problem, and everyone will have the opportunity to buy the skins!! And at same time all players who decide to buy a Supporter Pack will still being rewarded by all the extra points they receive!! Get rid of FOMO!!! Its unethical, its inhumane to have it! I DONT CARE if someone buy a old support pack that I HAVE BOUGHT in the past. I really would be happy knowing that more players are able to buy cool skins like mine, its very sad when someone ask me what is my skin and when i tell them, then the frustrations came because the skin is gone and is no more in the store! CHANGE this for the love of the most important thing in your life! You GGG will have MUCH MORE income if you change that, a lot of players will support you even more if u change it, because a lot of them want old skins! If u dont want change it like my suggestion above, at least you can have an Anniversary event? Each year in the month were PoE1 complete a new anniversary, you GGG could open the store with all Old Supporter Pack skins items only for a Month, like every October(13 October 2013) month we could have this event for the entire month. Maybe you could put all skins back only in this event, if a player miss this event, then they will need to wait for the next year anniversary month event to buy the skin they desire. Im not the only one who think like that! And again, PoE is a SOLO-GAME-PLAY based game, DONT MAKE SENSE HAVE THIS EXCLUSIVITY IN SUPPORTER PACKS!! The only players who cares about EXCLUSIVITY are the super EGOs snobs who want to differentiate themselves from other players by feeling superior, feeding their arrogant EGO. Just like the snobbish nobility wanting to differentiate themselves from the poor vassals. For NEW PLAYERS coming for PoE 2 you all need to know that, most of us demand this change!! The only exclusivity skins that should still exclusive are League Challenges Rewards and Kiracs Vault Pass Rewards! Thats it! Thanks! Last bumped on Dec 20, 2024, 11:37:10 AM

Uh sounds like you are the target audience bud. I mean, so am I, with these fucking kiwis. I just want moar. I need all the kiwis. (Not actual new zealanders though, generally not a fan just the bird.)

FOMO isn't an issue at all, its in your head. I don't give a shit if I miss out on fake pixels. I buy a supporter pack here and there and buy stash tabs. Grow up
Step 1 is to self reflect.

I dont get the whole concept of wanting mtx, if you bought it its lame, what is the appeal, does it give you any sense of satisfaction? The only reason I spent money in the store is because I felt bad about playing the game for free, but I would much prefer a monthly sub and being able to earn stuff.
