The obvious micro transaction cash grab?

I'm super psyched you can remove item effects for free. You guys are so greedy. Complaining over 4 points? Just wait and get the 20 pack then. Sacrifice your instant gratification for once. If you can't come up with 20 bucks in a couple weeks you probably aren't old enough to be playing this game, or you shouldn't be buying digital items in the first place and be thankful you can enjoy the entire game for free, absent of gold buying and pay to win power level garbage as is customary with most similar models today.
I can't believe this thread went to 38 pages.

All those complaining need to seriously get a life..lol

The games free to play. The game is fun as hell and yet you choose to spend your time crying about nothing.

Either show your support, pick a fee or shaaad up.

My god, people are insane.

Enjoy the gameplay and if you disagree with the pricing than don't buy anything, don't support GGG it's your free will to do that.


QFT. I don't see why people are so up in arms about cosmetic only items and the GGG Points? I mean have you ever used a gift card? They do the exact same thing. Now I will agree $20 for a weapon effect is a little overboard, but it's their first time EVER pricing stuff, do you seriously think they won't listen to us? They always have in the past and I have complete faith in them.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to always tell the difference.

This is the same as every other point system. It encourages you to buy a higher priced pack and have left over points.

It's a f2p game though. You don't HAVE to pay for anything to get just as much out of the game as anyone else. There is no "Pay to win" in PoE


Except that you are punished for buying less and only see a bonus when you buy the $50 or higher packs.


Good point.

Now consider this:

You didn't even have to pay $50 to play the game in the first place like you would with, say...

...Diablo 3.
Seeing as it's cosmetic only, who cares.

Why are people saying to not spend any money on GGG as a fix for this problem? Do they want GGG to fail?? We WANT TO GIVE THEM OUR MONEY! Get that through your thick skulls!

People just don't want to patronize a faulty pricing model.

But I guess the donations/support will still continue if the game is really good enough.

It's just the shop that's godawful right now.

Stash tabs aren't cosmetic. Yesterday it was $15 for the tab pack. Now it's $20.

In this place called reality that's price gouging.

Name 1 game which has a microtransaction system that lets you buy the perfect amount of "premium cash".

All of them, every1 of them are designed the same way. Just not with full numbers like 10/20/50 etc. The model is the same.

Or we are responsible adults with budgets and families and things like that. Clearly you have none of these.
