Ok i understand that you are more patient and possitive thinking. Cool.
It's a great qol especialy in a new league if you are in a hurry to get currency.
Every good item you find,right click and it's online.
Not having to update procurement and then copy paste to thread shop for every single item.
It gives a definite advantage and it's a great addition to the game.
People were furious because league starts soon and they bought tabs this weekend without knowing about it.
Next day it get announced so they have to buy premium on full price to be competitive in trading at the start which is important.
I hope there will be a universal solution soon for all players including the ones i got in this free game, because that's the philosophy that gave GGG the support they got from me through tabs and mtx and from thousands more players. "You pay only for cosmetic effects"
If their bussines model has changed,i would like to know that.
I will not support a "pay for qol" company. It's my choice.
Peace.

this is the first time in PoE that there's content available only to people who bought something for real money. Why dont you make it work with all stash tabs, not only premium ones?
I always loved PoE for beeing 100% free. This sounds a bit like: hey, do you want to get more currency via trade? come buy premium stash stabs.

Nothing wrong with that IMO. If people don't want to spend the US$1.50 on a premium stash tab they can trade the old way - many folks have got 'rich' doing that over the last couple of years.

This is paying for convenience - kind of like having more stash tabs is convenient. They cost so why shouldn't this?

Letting players argue over here and making the world more chaotic than it already is.

Yet still no further official statement/acknowledgment from Chris or GGG.

I know it must be crunch time over there but someone must've noticed this? Well done, to come out with a predictably controversial announcement such as this and no other further clarification on the issue is pretty bad PR, GG (minus one G)

i disagree. chris has said this game has only "ethical microtransactions" and is "free to play". this feature improves a player's ability to trade and obtain currency. obviously currency is vital to improving your character. i do not see this feature as an "ethical microtransaction".

Hopefully they're planning on releasing a second article clarifying on all the points of concern that this one has brought up.

However, some sort of input saying that such a thing is going to happen would be the responsible thing to do seeing how the entire comment section seems to consist of "the need for a premium tab will be a negative aspect between those who do not put some money into the game and those who do".

Until such things happen, I can only foresee people brewing up bad PR themselves based on the current lack of clarification. If you're reading this right now, GGG, do consider just letting people know the full picture. For your own sake in this situation.
