Currency Stash Tabs Available Now

Nice! Have one. When is the map tab coming to town?

This is the most wonderful thing.

Reducing micro-management of the small things is just... The most wonderful thing.

Thank you!

Dear GGG,

I was on your side when you released the "public tab" features for premium tab owners. Neither did I consider those to be pay2win, nor did I feel they were taking something away from those who do not own premium tabs, for whatever reason. I also did not think, that public-tabs were something that excluded players from certain aspects of this game. In my book, players had a reasonable choice here: Pay for utility, or save money by doing things manually, both being fair game.

These currency tabs, however, are quite concerning from my point of view. Yes, they seem nice... By all means, I will get one. I can afford to, and I like quality of "virtual-life" improvements. But consider this: These tabs will, as far as we can presume at this point, be mandatory for the planned and already mentioned asynchronous trading, which next to everybody sure is looking forward to. The issue is, that this looks like a very obvious and rather large/aggressive step towards exclusion, the exclusion of freeloaders, or new players, for that matter. We who pay for this game are, from a different perspective, also excluded from trading with players who do not own currency tabs in a convenient fashion. That being said, you are also limiting the usefulness of these tabs for those who buy them to some degree, I daresay.

Not only do I believe, that every player is somewhat entitled (I hate that word, actually) to having a manageable "wallet", I am furthermore most certain, that it is nigh impossible to manage resources with 4 tabs only by now. The release of divination cards, along with league-specific drops which occupy additional stash space (Talisman was a prime example), is forcing players who do not own additional tabs, into creating mule-characters, or even multiple accounts. Why not give a currency tab to every account, non-premium if you so desire? It would help many folks out there, who do not support you by putting down money, but rather support you by "spreading the word" that poe is a f2p ARPG with a very fair business model. This game needs to be populated after all.

In the eyes of many, the introduction of "public tabs" is a slippery slope to walk already. You are, at this point in time, beginning to frame said slope with barb-wire. I sure hope you know what you are doing here. You might very well know better than I do, we'll find out soon enough. Yet, I do know what I see, which is players going against one another in threads like these...

Kind regards, K

I find it ANNOYING that you can't buy things from vendors with the items in this specific tab. I had no issues with normal tabs, but while the currency is in THIS tab, I cannot buy from vendor, telling me how I don't have the resource.

Please fix it!

lol really?
EPIC FAIL!!!

some people saying "it should be in the normal game no buy"
and i get that.. and A LITTLE agree

BUT .. i dont like it
this is the best currency stash - >

I know GGG is a business and servers & development doesn't pay for themselves - and while this technically still is no p2w, you're really walking the line here...

I still appreciate this - long overdue - "feature" though. Stacks only going to 10 or 20 is just plain stupid.

OMG, OMG
Best stash ever

This... is... amazing!!!
I've freed up tabs for more sutff :)
Up to 5,000 is great. Thanks, GGG!

I feel increasing Premium Stash tab stacks to 100 or something might have been a better option.


Not a fan of the set positions of currency. >_>

you cannot own the game with only 4 stash tabs...but to give this [currency stash tab] for money is just more a reason to say the game is P2W.

How do you "win" by having more stash tabs? You know what "P2W" means, yes? Please give me a winning build that absolutely requires more than 4 stash tabs worth of gear/currency/etc.
You don't need to hoard every single item you get.

I like the game so I supported you guys, but it's just kinda antisocial to release something like that for people only who can afford it...

People who have enough money, have already enough stahs tabs that it brings no problems if you have a bit more currency, but that would had been a great adition to the whole game for !!!free!!!...

Are you forgetting that GGG have been releasing major content packs for free every 2-3 times a year? It's a bit unreasonable to gripe about paying for this minor convenience feature when considering we get actual, meaningful content which isn't gated behind a paywall. On top of that, we get other notable convenience features for free, such as item filters and the public stash tabs, both of which have been game changers for me. Don't be a greedy consumer.

Well they would have to add something to renew the game, just look at how much you get in Diablo 3 for free each season, Tmog is free, bonus stash tabs for doing achievments etc.

Honestly i fell Poe can't compete with that anymore, taking away MTX set's from Support packs to put in Mystery Box so we can gamble for it to make them even more cash?.

These supporter Packs are not exactly free nor is the MTX cheap. i feel this game could easy compete with the money i spend playing World of Worcraft for about 8+ years. but ive not played Poe for that long...

So yeah greedy costumer does not exist in a free to play game. its greedy Dev's if anything altho i think PoE did good for a long time.

Being a poor player i have honestly never had any issues with currency taking up to much space,Skill gems on the other hand take up 10 tabs for me and with the constant addition of new gems, i am still running out of space, i don't know about other players but i like to experiment with different builds a lot so having a few of each type of skill and support gem on hand at all times is really nice, if something like this was made for skill gems i would be inclined to purchase it instantly, however currency has never been an issue of mine.
