Essence Stash Tabs

Reiterating what many others have said or alluded to in this thread already, this seems like a cash-grab, and it's not very aesthetically pleasing (totally just my opinion though) in it's current iteration. The essences should be ordered in a way that delineates the tier or power level of the essence. The left side is definitely backwards (except for maybe languages that are read right to left I suppose, in which case the right side is backward!) but that's not the only issue to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just doesn't feel right. I've looked at the image below (props to the artist- I'm not sure who you are, but thanks!) for the entirety of the essence league and feel the tab should be ordered in a way that is similar to it. I also think the 'wildcard' slots should be below the crafting slot just like in the currency tab.

Spoiler

Aesthetics aside however, the bigger problem is that a stash tab like this should not be a purchasable upgrade. The currency tab was a great idea, though it probably should have been implemented for free instead of a purchase as well. If it's to be implemented, there should not be a charge for it. I understand that the company has to make money, but adding tabs such as these feels mandatory, at least for any semi-serious player. Please don't start with the argument that any serious player would make these purchases, I already know that- I have purchased supporter packs damn near every time a new set has been offered.

The point here is that these tabs (currency and essence) as MTX are exceedingly close to the pay-to-win type of MTX that GGG has said time and time again that they will never offer for this game. This same argument could be (and has been) made about the current implementation of premium tabs with relation to trading.
