Currency Stash Tabs Available Now

That's false competition. Take a CCG, where you play head to head, but one player buys cards and the other does not. The goal of the game is to win that match, and the paying player is going to have a huge advantage over the non-paying player (in almost every CCG ever made, especially if you take two players with the same amount of time put into the game).

There is no goal of beating other players in PoE (outside of PvP seasons, which I have not played but I bet are not affected by this). Sure, someone else may get to higher maps earlier than you, but so what?

LOL. If it is not a CCG-like it is not competition? Nice ! :D


There are many levels of competition, whether you like it or not. It depends on your goals in the game, of course. For example, a very casual player such as myself - I'd like to buy cool items and try out fun builds. In order to get the currency for those items I must sell whatever junk I find, because the chance of dropping something decent is astronomical. Everyone else does this as well, so in order to maximize my sales I am forced to compete with every other player who is in this MMO(undercut, be constantly online etc.). Being constantly flagged as online, having a lot of space for all of the junk in premium stash tabs helps in all of this. The currency stash tab is just a part of the efficiency chain GGG are building at the moment which can very well be detrimental to the experience of people who opt to not participate in.

Would you like us to touch on the subject of people racing for map/ilevel/xp leveling access in the beginning of every league and how that is all a matter of shaving off hours or even minutes?

I didn't say it had to be CCG-like. Take Candy Crush or any similar puzzle game where you can buy power boosts to beat levels. Or timer-based builder games like Forge of Empires where you can bypass those timers by using premium currency.

Those are game-imposed competitions/requirements. The desire to play with toy X is self-imposed. That is what I meant by false competition. If you adjust your mindset, the problem goes away. If you want to keep up with the Joneses, yeah yer kinda fucked. But that's on you for setting that goal.

I also did agree that the potential trend is not a good one.

It could just be the extremely low standard in my country that is speaking... but I'd rather see a statistic :)

I did not say in gaming industries. For example here www.jobserve.com you can find plenty very well paid jobs for C++ developers with good experience in large scale projects.

Could you provide some instructions on how to use this web site? I might be doing something stupid, but I got 0 results (IT & Telecommunications; keywords: c++; location: New Zealand).

I want pay twice ( like 150 points ) for 9999 size stacks in STANDARD TAB.

I simply hate how currency tab is implemented now.

this is what should have been done

but it would have been "too good" there needs to be the potential to need to buy more than one currency tab

What a waste of Exalted ! Just fire that guy ! Kidding, Great update, keep it up GGG !

So I purchased one, because I don't think even in standard I have 5k of anything, but I notice there is no space for Pcoins... does that mean this league is dead and won't get into standard?

Also:
As new currency is introduced will that be an addition purchase or will it upgrade automatically?

Wow. Excited and annoyed at the same time. So expensive ($7.50 USD) for just a tab, yet so cool. All of the interesting and debatable news is announced when I'm away, lol.

Any ways...

GGG, why can't I just buy an upgrade to a currency tab of an existing premium tab for something like 35 points?

This should be a standard tab for every player.

I am starting to feel like i have to pay for this game to play it right, and that is too bad because i bought stuff and enjoyed it because it felt like i did not have to.
Really hope they fix the stash so everyone can use the benefits without having to pay for them.

I really wish GGG would move to a subscription base game already and kick out all these whiney entitled freeloaders
