Lol, me too. Shit, another bump. Sorry! ;)

You can definitely play this game to the end on 4 tabs. I did it.

Throw away anything(items, cards, essences, etc.) you won't use on the one character and then you easily have enough room to store maps and currency to buy from players or keep your gems/jewels/frags.

i see people playing for free all the time.

This is a great game that you can play for free and pay a small amount to improve your stash management which still amounts to like $20.00 if you are ridiculously cheap. It's not like these companies operate for free. If you like the freaking game then show some support instead of being a whiney 4 year old making unrealistic demands.

One thing I can say for this thread, it's a wonderful example of survivor bias. We're not getting all those people who were pissed off enough at the costs of stuff that they left the game four years ago.

I kinda agree 4 tabs for a new account is kinda small.. I have over 30 tabs though so. Crazy how after all these years GGG hasn't increased the base stash space for new accounts, especially how much the game has grown.

Back when the game was first released, 4 stash tabs was fine, but not now.

I have currency tab, essence tab, cards tab and map tab. Alos one prem tab and 6 regular - i bought only special tabs, rest came to me with gifts for christmas and etc.

It is more than enough to enjoy the game and it makes more convinient BUT it is not something anyone NEED.

It is to put this im simple terms a matter of "need" and "want". Most players dont need the but want, especially for free.

Wont happen. Deal with it.

It only cost around 30 to 50 dollars to buy enough bank space and tabs to play this game comfortably. 30 to 50 bucks isn't much, I don't know why any one is complaining about this. No game is truly free.

Yes totally this.
Then again unless you are full on stupid casual, telling people 4 tabs is totally enough to fully enjoy this fucking game is still very brain dead thing to say.

It's safe to say all the kids in this thread telling him how 4 tabs is completely fine for this stupid game has paid for more tabs.

PoE is f2p, but to enjoy this game in any unretarded fashion you want to spend some real life money.

Here is my opinion the amount that this company accomplishes with it's staff, is amazing, out does any huge company I've dealt with. Their customer service and cash shop is the most fair I've seen in all my years of playing gaming. The amount you must pay for bank slots is quite cheap and if you can't afford these when they are on sale makes me questions your situation. There is no need for you to be able to grind currencies nor is it needed.

I believe if you think this is not fair then try the many extremely unfair p2p and f2p games out there that will make your wallet break to stay competitive. I hope you can find enjoyment in POE regardless like the thousands of us do. Enjoy your day sir/mam.

I was saying that from beginning, it is not FREE TO PLAY and imo is PAY TO WIN with less respect from developers and less sense to do something viable, like TRADE (Worst ever experience), CHAT (Jesus if you can call that chat system in 2018 still), ETC (ZILLION OTHER STUFF).
Most overpriced ONLINE SINGLE PLAYER BETA GAME what I played.

ATM Spending money rather on ESO PLUS subscription, more satisfaction, more enjoyment and yes I did spent money here also (but not on forum titles) only on P2W STUFF like TABS (stash space) and few micro-transaction effects.
Also in ESO for example you can buy BANK/INV space with GOLD(In game) or CROWNS(real money) like IN MANY OTHER ONLINE GAMES so making INV space what is important for player experience $real money$ only is imo one big aspect what leads to PAY TO WIN.
