Why Poe is becoming PAY TO WIN GAME - free discusion

on a scale from 1 to 5, POE is 1/5 P2W. Could be much worse, yes, but it's obviosly not "never p2w!111"

0/5 p2w is dota2, for example

Path of exile is 100% NOT pay to win.

What some are trying to argue though, is that too much convenience would also be pay to win. Personally I do not feel that way. And there is nothing I can do now, that I couldn't before contributing to GGG.

Premium stash tab allow to earn currency much faster -- basically it is currency booster. Like "chaos drops increased 10%"

I would like to know your oppinions , Saying that poe IS or IISNT Pay to win . I have mine but I will present it later . There is no supprise when you give the present before the party ;)

Actually, I'd expect the present at the party, so I absolutely would be surprised if someone gave me one before.

Not Pay to Win in SSF leagues. Aila831 prove it. N1 with just 4 classic stash tabs.

Pay to Win in other leagues. But more like a little 10% boost that can't be exceeded. Stash tabs make things easier in general. Less time to do everything. Lets not forget this is grinding gear game where you have 4 stash tabs to Stash your gear when 1-used for currency, 2-used for maps, 3-used for cards and the last one for all your items that you grind through your game. Kind of funny :D. I'd love to see any of the popular streamers playing a new league(not SSF) with just 4 tabs for 3 months and his opinion. If you like to play for fun stash tabs doesn't matter at all. But if you really like to get the most from trading, stash tabs are a must. May be its possible to manage it if you are really, really good. Which makes me think that most damage is done to the new players that try to give a try to the game(Not Pay to Win Game) and they're getting annoyed of all the inconvenience. Acquisition outdo premium stash tabs by giving you a list of your items with statistics and stuff, the problem is with your 4 stash tabs (actually just 1 for trading) you don't really need it a list... Not to mention that in the past 4-5 leagues they add new currency items with every league.
At the end its a great game with great complexity. If you want to be competitive without paying, then just play SSF mode. Otherwise you are doomed to buy some stash tabs at the end or being masochist and using your 4.

If in a / any game bot prg's are.
If in a / any game you can buy currency for real $.
If in a / any game you can buy high endgame accounts.
If in a / any game there are sweat_shops.
If a / any game is based on Diablo I II Lod.
Just to mention a few signs.
So if you can buy experience and/or items in a / any game its Paytowin.
Point.

I don't believe it's a p2w game. It's more for pay for convenience.


Well at least GGG earns their buck :)

I usually ignore these threads but only a fanboy will deny that the types of currency/fragments actually got a bit much since release.

Give people 1 more stash tab for free.

Here we are almost a year and a half later, and I'm not exactly sure we're any closer to being P2W.

I shan't ever understand the drive to necropost. Personally, I'd have waited for that two-year anniversary if I were gonna do it, though... round numbers.

When your game starts with 3 tabs and 10 types of currency and reach the point where there are 50 types of currency and 50 types of fragments,that "convenience" gets a bit forced.
