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

I cant see why people are opposed to this as everybody would benefit from 1 extratab. Except for GGG of course but i am not even sure if this would directly translate into noticable losses in the long run.

I find the argument quite convincing.
In the beginning they gave free stashtabs (4 now) because they deemed it to be a reasonable minimum that you can extend with your creditcard.

But the reasonable minimum changed drastically over time.

Jesus support the fucking company you leech.

I wouldn't say it benefits everyone. It benefits the F2p players who are on 4 tabs. Makes basically no difference to people who buy tabs already. Probably helps those who have only ever bought a few tabs and barely manage. Like it would make zero difference to me.

I am just not a fan of the expectation that a game you've played free for anything over 1 month should just give you more free things, simply because its convenient. I think everyone understands F2P is still a business model and we live in a real world where they need money to survive. 4 tabs is more than enough for you to experience PoE and make a decision on whether your experience is worth 5$.

From my own experience (I have 5 tabs because I get a free one a long time ago): it's absolutely possible to play without paying anything. I agree trade leagues is really boring with 4 tabs but you should consider SSF.


In SSF, the real challenge when you have a few number of tabs is to manage maps. With 5 tabs, I must be really careful at level 95.

Find below some advices if you play in SSF:
1) Currency tab: after a certain playtime, you will have a ton of the Following currencies:
- Orb of alteration try to use it on iLvl 83 items or jewels
- Jeweller orb: if you need a 6L, use it (if not, then make alch/scouring)!
- Fusing: if you need a 6L, use it (if not make alch/scouring)!
- Chance orb: transform in alch/scouring!
- Alchemy: you need it for maps, maps and maps!
2) Cards /quality gems / essences
- Cards: honnestly, most of them are not mandatory but I like to collect them
- Essences: keep only good/useful essences
- Gems: make the recipe as soon as possible (Don't store a ton of gems)
3) Maps / Fragments
- Fragments: I guess you will not farm uberlab, therefore once you are your last ascendancy points, skip trials. Atziri fragment: do you need to farm Atziri for a specific item ? if yes, then run as soon as possible. Otherwise, give this food to Charsi.
- Divine vessel: don't store more than you need
- Maps: after a certain level, sell all your white maps to keep only yellow and reds.
4) Maps

Create one or two mules lvl 1 in order to store REALLY GOOD items you would like to keep (but honnestly, ask yourself: did you ever used something in standard ?). If you find some good items but you want to continue your mapping session, then store them in master devices (yes you can).

If you progress futher (90+) fully use your third tab for maps. After 94+, clean your second tab (you don't need quality gem recipe anymore and cards becomes probably useless now). You can also sell your yellow maps (probably mandatory at 95+ if you play with 4 tabs).


I hope it will help you :)

We have 4 basic stash tabs from the beta without any change!

GGG should be giving at least one extra premium stash tab to everyone.

Could we also get bigger char inventory pls???

First look at how many hours , you played PoE.
Then look at how many hours , you have play an AAA game (if you got 1)

Personaly i payed for 50$ for an AAA game but only played it a fraction of how much i play and will play PoE.

Atm im at 3750hours PoE , if that isnt worth atleast 5$.

The game is free2play for the initial acts and story line progression.

Let's say that's around 50 hours for a newcomer to PoE with some gaming background experience? But if you wanna push into the end-game and exceed that time your doing yourself a huge favor by buying some stash tabs.

The catch is, GGG don't force anybody to do this, they leave the option open to work it out yourself and even attempt end-game without any purchases.

Would you rather have 6 stashtabs and a required 10$ fee to enter maps after the basic story progression?

Peace,

I find it odd how people defend the choice to keep the default stash tab number low despite the increase in items required.

Assuming the character limit is 25, 24 of those being mules is equal to about 10 normal stash tabs.


Sorry for the long post but this is something I'm pretty passionate about.

You can have more than one account. You can have 2 different accounts open on the same computer. For instance you could have a Kookro_Delve_One and Kookro_Delve_Two and Kookro_Delve_Three accounts with 24 characters each if you wanted to.

Players could also set up a single guild stash tab and swap gear without having to be logged on to two accounts at once.


The game servers, the programmers, the artists etc aren't free. GGG derives a significant amount of their funding from people buying stash tabs. Giving away more tabs would hurt the game. Even if GGG gave everyone 6, in a few months people would want 8 free, then 12, then 24 free tabs etc.

Learning to manage your tab resources is like learning to play the game efficiently -don't blame someone else for your own lack of efforts. In this case, GGG allows an option to buy more tabs.

They should at least give us one premium tab so we do not have to use shady software to make trade shops.

And I did pay for stash tabs already.
To either convert 1 tab to premium or just add one for seasonal achievement would be nice.
I do not pay in games where I feel like devs are too predatory and addin' tons of shit every league is quite predatory in my eyes. Million div cards,maps,prophecy items,currency items
and addin' 0 stash tabs. Ofcourse do not let them stack to 9999 but only 5,10,20,40
like c mon bruh,it is about time for one of the rewards to be stash space.

Lol, sorry, wait a second.

You think GGG is too predatory? Like, they don't even make my top 50 of predatory game devs in the world today. First i've ever seen someone say that lol.
