would GGG sell license for a "pay to win" server?

Go ahead. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Garena has any limitations on who can play on their server, right? It's the pay to win of your dreams.

No, not even Garena have sunk as far into pay to win as that which the OP is describing.

Hundreds of other games have though. Which begs the question...
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

Oh, my bad. Just took a glance at their microtransactions and the only paytowin I spotted was the passive tree reset points they were selling. Still, I think OP might have better luck with his suggestions in there. They might consider implementing them if there are people willing to pay for it.

Such a beautiful point, lagwin. Free to play isn't just plagued with pay to win; so often, it's just pay to get one more feature that should be standard for a game. By the time you're done chipping in for each, you've spent more than the game could ever be worth, and not because you want to...just because the game is woefully incomplete otherwise.



You mean like stash tabs?

Actually four complete stash tabs is more than many paid games offer -- some don't even give you an easy means to mule between characters. I get you're being facetious and antagonising, but I'll answer because I'm just fucking awesome like that.

Read the post to which I was responding -- lagwin mentioned that plenty of free to play games have things like insanely low character slots, expecting you to pay $1-2 (if not more) for more. Hell, some *subscription* games tried to pull that shit.

I've more than enough experience with free to play games to know when one has been gutted of fundamental features which are then made 'premium' content. Path of Exile isn't even in the same book as that, let alone on the same page.

Don't expect an answer if you respond. Cheers.

So, why don´t you rmt, it´s the same like pay to win plus it gives us good chance to get rid of another ..... ( no, I don´t say it, Bex would mute me for the rest of my life...)
I don't get the point of this topic.

If you want a p2w mmo/rpg then there is a huge selection of games.

Edit: Guess I missed the obvious trolling of the OP.

I do not believe Poe will ever be p2w. There are 2 main reasons why I will continue to support this game.
1st GGG is totally against pay to win and 2nd the stuff really cares about the community unlike almost every other MMORPG games out there. I have quite a long story with MMORPG games and GGG has the best stuff so far so I respect that. So as long as these 2 things stays as they are now I will continue to support the game.
There are two kind of games, POE and others. Respect!!! :)
