why should i pay money for that when is a third party program for free ?
That is the point you do not have to pay if you don't want to. Its the same way with stash tab, you can play with four and never buy another if you do not want to.
Just because you can play with only 4, does not mean that having more than 4 doesnt greatly improve the way the game plays. You spend less time playing tetris in your inventory and can spend more time grinding.

cause people don t know what pay2win means. Little convinice which would be doable with free source and little efford aswell get labled as pay2win. All you can conclude is the person doesn t know what it means, trolls or is stupid.
I just wait for people call it pay2win because with some microtransaction you see your skill better and you can level faster because you die less or at all !!!!
I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you're saying. I do understand how third party sources are free but I would love to see you become as big as GGG are currently. They can't just pay for servers & run the game out of their own pockets. I mean common, there always chances for you do get premium stash tabs when they're on sale or not, they don't really cost much.
I do have some knowledge over what pay-to-win is but not greatly, I'll admit it. However, I don't see how any of this can be pay-to-win when nothing previous has been removed, you can still use third-party sources to make trades with normal or premium stash tabs.

Sure. go ahead. And then refund me all the extra that I paid for the premium tabs that others are now getting for free.
If you don't pay for something how can you expect to get the same as those that have paid for it?
This works both ways in case people haven't noticed. Why should people who didn't pay for premium tabs get free upgrades / free stash tabs?
The premium tabs help support the game. No game support and that would mean no wages for the staff and no game to play at all.
People are calling this p2w. I see no extra buffs on my bar, no shiny uniques that you can only buy from GGG and don't drop in the game. I also see no difference in gameplay, no area in the game you can't access for free.
I do see a game that gives you 23 free character slots, free updates, free expansions. Alongside that you get free customer support that is second to none in any game I've played before.
yes there are some of us who can afford to buy extra's. The extra tabs I buy in no way, shape or form impact anyone elses gameplay. It in no way restricts how you play the game or how you trade.
People need to learn what the actual term pay to win means and stop throwing it around in this game like it has any relation at all to the mtx transaction. If you want a pay to play game, then go try find any other game where there are no true p2w aspects that give those that buy them true advantages in the game.
GGG has a fantastic game model, its also the only game I have ever played where the playerbase gladly support the game and at one point even shouted at them for not having enough to spend their money on.
This is a 100% level playing field for everyone and extra stash tabs make no difference at all to the gameplay.
This.

I just don't understand why someone who bought 5 premium stash tabs will have the advantage of in-game trading system while I (who bought 20 regular tabs)won't? Can someone explain that to me? Is his money better than mine or what?

Love this i cant stand seeing people say, "this is pay to win" when you can still just use the free third party stuff! its pay for convenience which i like and will be supporting :)
Point is : other systems is going to shut down very soon, so it won't be pay for convenience then.
I would say soon. It all depends how wide new system will be adopted by the community. If 90% of listings done via new system then it's just a matter of time when Xyz decides that it's not worth his time to support old system (even though right now he will support it). ExileTools already dropped support for old system, so all tools that use it as backend will only work with new system (e.g. poeprice.info).
Even so it's totally unnecessary restriction. This is better for community and for GGG for everyone to have access to new system, because old one is terrible.
If they want to restrict it so the data feed isn't huge - why not just restrict amount of public tabs per account. Let's say 1 tab per account for the first phase and increase with time if it doesn't cause any problems. (By that I mean that any tab can be made public - regular or premium, but you can't have more than N tabs set to public at the same time).

Short answer, yes, his money is better than yours.
Long answer, lets wait for someone with 4-6 supporter tags to show up and call you an entitled crybaby for wanting features to be universal instead of being behind a paywall.

This is by far one of the best comments I've seen. Others need to read this & I to support where you are coming from.

So far Garfunkel the response from GGG is the sound of silence.
I really want to hear GGG response, and I think they should give it soon

There is also something that I'm not sure people have thought of yet. While I use Aquisition and the on/offline link I have control of WHEN I wish to trade. This new system will make me appear online all the time, so even when I am mapping and do not wish to trade I will have no choice but to appear to be trading.
This leaves 2 options. Either /dnd which then leaves a hell of a lot of people who appear to be trading but are not, or. I will have to go through each tab each time and remove them from public view to map.
This mean I will likely to be offering less tabs for sale so I can have some control of when I trade. This will actually be pretty intrusive as there is no way 'as yet' to appear offline while mapping.
The result of this. There will be less trading from those with multiple tabs as they will likely not list most of them due to the intrusive nature of trade during mapping. The alternate of /dnd will make it so that they can't communicate with anyone at all.
Result. people are now more likely to not trade in smaller ticket items and keep the tabs down to a minimum so they can manage them much easier. Overall a bad thing for those of us with a lot of tabs, it will make tab management a royal nightmare if you even try use them all for trading.
While I like this concept on the whole, it will only work and be useful if there is some way to appear offline to avoid the mass /dnd people will run into.
