This game is going to be pay to win if there aren't measures in place to prevent players from buying items with real money on the 3rd market, simple as that. Deal with it how you like, but deal with it.	Posted by Terikan#3495 on Jan 23, 2013, 2:48:48 PM Quote this Post

Just wanted to bump this since the in game chat has turned into a garbage bin. Good job everyone who thought this was a bad idea.	Posted by Terikan#3495 on Jan 26, 2013, 2:50:51 PM Quote this Post

Secondly, any clan system, at least the creation or leadership of one, if there are such features in PoE (waiting for open beta, sorry), or if there ever will be. Thirdly, Trade. Free players should not be able to trade or transfer in any way. Mail. I read this was being implemented at some point. For the same reason as chat, should be restricted to paying players. I realize you want only cosmetics, but you need to protect the playerbase that is going to support you, and you need to keep the game from being ruined with spambots and 3rd party pay2win. Obviously along with this you need a way for players to flag another player for spamming (if not implemented). I think ten dollars isn't too much to ask to get these features, give them the 100 points, then it's still free as it comes along with the points. Oh look, lets make an amazing Free To Play game that involves players playing together and then silence them all arbitrarily until they give us money. This will most assuredly never back fire. I don't think many would mind there being some chat filtration/restrictions in Global chat but restricting Party Chat, Guild Chat, Whispers (Among approved friends) etc. seems a bit stupid and vastly over the top.

" This game is going to be pay to win if there aren't measures in place to prevent players from buying items with real money on the 3rd market, simple as that. What measures will prevent people from attempting to cheat? None. A Thought : Spoiler Where are all these players Paying to Win? I didnt realise GGG had buckled so soon to the masses of players wishing to buy XP Boosters, and "Godly gear of Power Lamer". I mean, I admit, my Kiwi is pure Game Win... O.o. Oh, wait what? thats right, GGG hasnt. I dont care what kind of arguement you bring regarding off shore sites, because the facts is, its not condoned, its not official. Therefor, there is absolutely no official P2W scenario here. I P2LookCool. I Win with Skill. PS : Is there even such a thing as "Winning" an ARPG? PSS: Could you even begin to imagine in the glory days of gaming "hey, I guess I could just buy a few more Extra Lives and beat that annoying Bullet Bill once and for all". Nope. Dont understand some peoples standards, but for me, just nope. GGG - Why you no?

Jesus Christ kid, $10 dollars to enjoy feautures that should be free? Go back to D3 or some pay to play bs. POE is F2P and I hope it says F2P, you sound like an idiot inflicting payments for others, some people don't have access to money like you do. Stop thinking about yourself, you're certainly not the only player. If people want to give money to GGGs amazing game, they can through Supporters packs, as for you, stop trying to making PoE shit.

Also I wanted to ad; Pay to play features will enable tons and tons of hackers. Very smart kid. Templar enthusiast IGN: Caleibus	Posted by Caleibus#5093 on Jan 27, 2013, 8:52:07 AM Quote this Post
