Just going to throw my compliments at this.
I've had 50 coins in my wallet for ages because I love the game and wanted to send some love to the team.
Until today, I had no idea what to spend it on, I didn't have enough to buy any really cool things, and the spells that I could afford to shine up I didn't like.
So, today I bought 50 more coins and bought the currency tab, and I am totally happy with it.
Easily one of the best value for the money, that's for sure!
That TAB was one prereq with currency in PoE, because in any game currency not stacks in 10/20/40 stacks, shame it is for sale (only 7.5$ RIPOFF) not given for free, I just made in this league again on top of my tabs purchase for premium tabs, because is easier to take money from players than make something for free, like proper in game AH. Now this???? Thank you but I don't think I will invest for that ripoff, 7.5$ is too much for something what other games have free (read few line of code with some greed gives u that price, where is that old Chris speech about free awesome game?). Shame on you GGG.
So where we are now with game status?
Stability == 1/10
Graphic optimization = 1/10
Content = 5/10
RIP-OFF features = 10/10
So it is rip-off that they sell qol item for people that want to support this game? You allready get free entertainment that they update constantly and yet you whine about 7.5$ optional purchase. What a fucking freeloading whiny little scumbag.
You are the one who is freeloading and ripping them off buy playing this free awesome game without giving anything back.
If the game sucks so much in your opinion anyways in performance content and other areas then why the fuck are you even whining here? Just uninstall and go freeload on those other better games that give stuff like currency tab for free you little shitcake.
Who are you calling a freeloader ? Freeloader. if he feels $7.50 is a ripoff that is his opinion. The fact that he brought up this idea is not new or whiney. Many of us myself included support this game with supporter packs , stash tabs and other purchases like armor and weapon effects. Does that make us whiney freeloaders ? What drew a lot of people to this game was that it is F2P and some of us stay and support. how do you know he hasn't given back? You don,t. You are just assuming. The only scumbag I see here is you trying to flame someone who plays the game and has an opinion. Feel free to suck it up when people disagree with something they don't like. So strap in because that's how the real world works cupcake !
yeah, you definitely did not flamed :D
btw. he is totaly right about whining... this is far from a game-op feature, so stop complaining about how this gets more and more P2W...
haters...
gonna...
hate
.
Playing for joy ♥

With all honesty i Don't believe this is the type of feature you have to pay for.
Pretty much, theres something unethical about developing yourself a problem (continually adding more currencies) then charging players for the solution.
WTF. It's purely a QoL feature, nothing more. The developers do need to make money you realize?
TBH, that is not a valid argument unless you know the costs the company needs to pay and what they earn without this QoL-feature. An easy counter argument would be, that they can already pay for their server with the money they get, but I also cannot prove my argument, so let that be it.
The question I ask myself, is, what do they need this money for? It's more or less a one time payment from every active supporting player and that is a lot of money, I hope we agree.
In worst case, this might lead to them hiring more developers, which might be good on first glance - more features per release iteration. But developers cost money over time and those one time payments for the currency stash tabs won't last forever.
Then, what is the next step for the growing company to take if they can't keep up the costs with the usual sales? They obviously need to make more paid-for-features, some may be one time payments like the Currency Stash Tab, some may not. They might come to a point in time, where they either have so many QoL-features, that the free 2 play part becomes just shitty and it becomes your typical P2W game or they will run out of ideas of QoL-features and finally make the step to p2w, to keep earning more money.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and they just might spend the earned money to finally upgrade/replace their engine, which is a one time payment or some other one time payments I do not know about. This would actually be awesome and I would be gladly proven wrong if this is what's happening, but it's still concerning, because we do not know what they will do with that money or what their near future plans are.
Until now, they are probably the most trustworthy company that develops a free 2 play game and I hope this won't change, but I can't tell you the future so waiting for what come's next is the only thing we can do.

Its a game not a charity and ggg propably wants some profit too. Its not like anyone would keep developing and updating a game for zero profit.
Game wont become p2w with few qol features that cost a few bucks and ggg has stated that it will never become p2w and i believe that ggg wont go back on their word on that. Imagine the shitstorm if that happened. They would lose 50% of playerbase immediately.
And those qol are not in anyway p2w as some say. You can list your items with third party programs and make a mule accout for more storage.
I do think it would be nice for ggg to give everyone 1 premium tab for listing their items on market.
