Garena is adding skill tree resets as a micro transaction in 1.1.3. Thoughts?

p2w is not an issue in Asia. I don't think Garena is doing anything wrong.

Yeah goldbuying/selling is legal in South Korea. You won't be banned for goldbuying in Korean MapleStory :P


But still, I am disappointed that GGG let Garena do this. In fact, I am disappointed that GGG even let Garena host PoE at all. Though I realize Garena has the monopoly on ALL significant Online Games in SEA, but still... They should just use GGG's Singapore Gateway <_<

It's seriously becoming a very silly game there on Garena. Too much catering to casual gamers that won't stick around.

If people support GGG based on how "good of a company" they believe it to be, then how they handle Gerena and their Asian fans does matter.

yup

ggg is now far less likely to get money from me than they were before.

What's a small percentage of ZERO chance? You were never gonna contribute anything to PoE except your QQ. =^[.]^=

i already have contributed to this game, in both USD and things that have had much more value, such as seeing my ideas make it into the game. i'm not really proud that i contributed anymore, which is why i don't show it, or play on my account with MTX.

what have you contributed, besides useless and self-righteous forum posts?

Even if its not in the main game its still called "Path of Exile" and such Pay 2 win features have the potential to damage the whole brand not just Garena Poe.

I would really like to hear a cataclysmic scenario where being able to respec conveniently makes PoE instant p2w even though it doesn't bypass the biggest barrier in "winning" which is probably attaining those "build enabling" gear. Also, if it's that bad, make it a standard only MTX. IRL busy people get what they want, hardcore heads still retain their original game.

I proudly display my contributor tags, and I, too, have made lasting contributions to the game, when I was in Alpha. I also still do my part to police the forum, reporting spam and such, my piece of giving back to the community.

Difference is, unlike you, I'm not a bitter hanger-on, making passive-aggressive posts about withholding support, when it has become clear that such support already would not be forthcoming.

And I'm not being self-righteous; I'm simply losing my patience with such childish postings from people I might expect to know better. Gonna hold your breath until you turn blue? Whatever.

If the game isn't what you want it to be, find another game. Whining isn't gonna change it to what you want. =^[.]^=

this seems to be exactly what you are doing, right now, in this thread.

adding to the evidence seems to be that you barely even play the game, but post a lot instead.

that's like the definition of a bitter hanger-on.

Garenas always been a joke of a company that allows you to bot/hack as much as you want, you just pay 5$ if you get caught to unlift the ban.

This isn't true for PoE. Garena unban cards don't work for ingame PoE bans.
