of course it will. But being a f2play game, you can't have any income coming from the core aspects of the game such as items, currency or trading itself.

Thats my opinion. Oh and btw I have supported the game couple times.

Oh and freeloaders still talk about the game to other people, and are advertizing the game. Which helps a lot to maintain a good player base, and indirectly, more money.

If you didn't think PoE was P2W before, then it hasn't changed. You still have infinite stash space due to multiple accounts and mules, and poe.trade/acquisition/procurement still work perfectly well.

Personally I think that adding one premium stash tab to all players currently without one (and any future accounts) would end all the complaining, and probably encourage people who didn't have premium tabs previously to buy more, because it's shiny and neat.


And yeah I've spent maybe 100$ total on PoE mtx and stash tabs, but the time spent in minimum wage hours is tons tons more than that.

but if people without a premium tab get a free premium tab, then i want a free premium tab as well, despite having 10/16 premium now

poe should charge 60$ for the game and 20$ for expansion

ppl who understand business know that you use money to make a whole lot more money. You have to remember that to some people and GGG, this is not a game, this is just a business to them. And a business is not a business unless it makes money. Some of the people on here are literally the owners of those items sites just look at the guys who drop 2 mirrors out of the blue on here for 20k+. I've never bought poe items on those items sites just cuz its not how i roll lol but I would imagine you spend only 15$ to get an aegis shield + doryani catalyst on day 1 of the league and start to smash some exalted in ur stash. Not sure what exalt prices are day 1-2 maybe 1000fg softcore league? so thats 1000fg=10$ you get it back very quickly.

I just Bing'd " Poe Developer Dupe Hacks" No results

I think they actually make more money this way ( ive spent almost 400 buck on poe but most b2p game ive only bought the game ) , and being f2p bring more ppl in

+1 all over.

People can just easily mule over multiple characters and accounts.

same here
