The 4 stash tab that free to players get is just not enough anymore.

Honestly wish free games didn't exist. What a sore spot on the gaming industry.

I like to think it is the entitled players asking for extra free shit that is the sore spot, not the free game model.

It's the "it's fucking free, I shouldn't have to pay a single dime"-attitude that's the sore spot, like they have no idea that F2P is just a business model and not a charity.

There's still a VERY old-fashioned way of thinking when it comes to F2P games; as long as a game is labeled "F2P" they have this principle, refusing to spend a dime even though they play it more and enjoy the game more than a AAA-title they payed $60 for.

While it IS F2P, and they're free to contribute as much as they like, I just don't understand the principle of not paying.

Edit: That said, 4 tabs just don't cut it anymore. This game, in many ways, evolves around trading. A upgraded tab should be included. 5 regular and 1 premium sounds like a good place to start off.

I started this account in September partly in response to this thread.
Ended up buying 2 more tabs (5$), has helped a lot.
I made a suggestion on my main account to either raise the starting tabs to 5 and/or make the character inventory a shade larger to help.

Free game, no complaining please.

4 stash tabs is more than enough for a new player.

Developer: Eh...set the higher limit on how many a player can have to...psss...65536 (link to developer post confirming)?

Player: Can I get 2 more tabs or something? These 4 are pretty small and I can't fit all of the non or low stacking shards you keep relea-

ShowUs: Stop complaining! 4 is enough! Gib money!

Not sure if that's blocks or full on tabs...either way, it's substantially larger than the 4 the new character has to deal with going into leagues and leagues of content...and it's still redonk to suggest that 4 tabs are more than enough when entire league-specific drops that don't stack can fill 5 by themselves.

Good luck with delving those resonators that take up to 4 slots and the plethora of non-stacking fossils, newbie! We gave you all the space you need to juggle currency, loot, skill gems, maps, fragments, essences, cards *(eh...trade em, unless you keep getting long-stacks that rarely drop), prophecies, and whatever else we happen to have in the drop table this season...all in 4 tabs! :D :D :D :D


We currently have stash tab bundles for their normal pric- UH I MEAN -on sale. >:3

InB4 open beta and there was never a time that the 4 free tabs was enough stash space. Today's PoE player benefits from all the specialty stash tabs. I was here before any of them were available. Full tabs of a specific currency orb was the norm back then so 4 tabs was never enough at any time.

PoE is a game worth supporting. Not sure how much a quad costs but 1 quad 1 currency and 4 basic tabs can get a semi effecient player throguh an entire league.

Yeah its lame should be 6-8 with all the shit they've come out with since release when 4 made sense.

Then again the #1 SSFHC player does 4 fine. And a map tab someone gifted him so what do I know.

I need like 50 per league hoarder I am lol.

1: The game is free to play for anyone that wants to try out the game, and for thoes that only play it a couple of hours a week.

2: If you invest enough time into the game to fill up 4 tabs, GGG deserves the 5 bucks for a tab.

This

Remember that to play POE, you need
1. A computer which isn't from the 1980's
2. The time off work to play
These two are much, much higher costs than a supporter package worth of tabs. Come on, you also don't expect cinemas or circuses to let you in for free.

But I guess GGG should change their wording away from "no advantage for money". It's totally OK ethically to want to be paid and thus put pressure on users to pay.

This.

It is money not charity that feeds the devs and their families when providing this game to us.

Put it this way, POE is a $100 game, a bit expensive at first glance, much like Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gold Edition, but what do you get.

Buy the Scholar Supporter Pack and get
a) 2 cool armor sets
b) 2 cloaks
c) 3 weapon effects
and most important
d) 950 coins

What can you do with 950 coins?
You can buy all these stash tabs at market price, less if on sale.
a) Map Stash Tab - 150
b) Currency Stash Tab - 75
c) Essence Stash Tab - 40
d) Divination Stash Tab - 50
e) Fragment Stash Tab - 75
and
f) 1 Premium Stash Tab Bundle (6tabs) - 200
g) 2 Stash Tab Bundle (12tabs) - 150 x 2 = 300

This should set you up good.

You have 10 coins left and POE with all its expansions FREE for life.
And don't forget the 24 character slots and 4 Stash Tabs for just signing up.

I feel D3 did it right.

You had a maximum of six tabs to gain for free, but for those you had to complete challenges.

Why not give a free tab for 24 challenges? Not everyone will get it, but those that do, will be happy. I find the current rewards all completely boring, ok the butterfly was nice, but still.

And yes, I did invest into the game, but I also see the flaw in the current system.
