This exactly.
Pay to win.
And pay to convenience are two very different things.

To win what?

this is true i got 30+ tabs and all the special ones and still havent killed uber elder

I wouldnt be able to play without a currency tab myself, but I like their game and choose to support it, I only buy tabs tho, no mtx for me.

I have 1 char on HC with about 20 tabs and used every tab and just made this char a week ago...all my shit is worth $$$ too..its not crap

Dunno how anyone can play with at the least 10 tabs

You guys have three of four leagues of experience or more and already have 40 plus tabs. You already paid and are already winning.

Think of it from the perspective of a brand new player with no tabs. Thrown into the hillock fight with no experience in the game. They're gonna pick up mostly everything they see and fill those four tabs quickly as part of that lack of experience because they have no clue what good shit looks like. GGG not only knows this but did it on purpose as part of their business model. I could go into greater detail on the matter, but all im going to get from the likes of people on jsp is a "no u".

I can’t play without MTX or tabs.

Ive never been a fan of helmet mtx or ground based portal mtx but there are a ton of great skill mtx and some insane looking armor sets and other things. GGG still has a great payment system compared to a lot of other games and has gone out of their way to make it so it doesnt influence the game [in the united states.] So I have bought some good looking stuff. I still see people with 300 tabs in league and wonder just what the shit they must be doing with them though.

However limiting inventory space and making people pay for it is something way more games do than don't and is not something I'm a fan of. Almost zero games have infinite inventory and it almost seems status quo to make people pay for it these days.

My friend is level 92 on PS4 with the 4 default tabs. It's not P2w, its pay for quality of life.

If you truly think PoE is p2w then you've never played a true p2w game.
