      Hat stores and “buy more space to hoard the loot we design the game to make you need” mtx shouldn’t be given the free pass they get, especially by players that go nuclear over paid character DLC.

        I agree, but it’s also true that once you put 40€ in stash tabs bought in sales, you don’t really need more. In sales 40€ should give you enough to buy a premium/merchant tab plus all the major special tabs, and from there on it’s pretty much whatever.

        They don’t really make tons of new shinnies each league anymore, and if they do they now usually give you a dedicated tab for free. This league the only issue was foulborn currency and implant currency, but if you had a currency tab those go to the bottom side and you never fill that part in the last leagues we got. I have a premium tab for all the league currencies of tabs I don’t own but have an affinity, and it doesn’t get filled usually.

        And take into account that LE is a paid game, people have already put their 30-40€ in LE, now they are asking more just to get the end of the story. We still don’t have a complete campaign and they are asking money to propel that already paid just to see it finished.

        That’s how I see it, PoE is a 40€ paid game with a free review (though not marketed like that) while LE is a paid game where they are going to release paid expansions and paid characters. Even Torchlight Infinite (the most p2w of them all) doesn’t do paid characters, the new ones become free in the next season.
