Developer Questions and Answers

Is there any chance we can get anime body pillows in the future?
I feel all other anime games have lots of physical merchandice, yet Path Of Exile has almost none.(A cloth rag?? Seriously?)

You guys are clearly losing touch over what the fanbase actually wants, so I am leaving this here as a reminder to what can easily become your biggest moneymaker:

1)with so many well received content (e.g. Breach, Delve), why dont you constantly change, rearrange or modify those core implementations slightly from time to time?
reusing content is one thing and a good one, thus continously making minor changes on reused content would be very beneficial i feel.

2)what are your plans on having at least an acceptable focus on Standard? the map tab issue is just the peak of the iceberg and underlines that there seem to actually be no real ressources put into STD at all. with approx 15% of POEs playerbase enjoying STD (due to various reasons), dont you feel STD deserves a tiny bit of attention? (i wont even touch the possibilities you have. if you desire, you could implement a STD alone endgame, have other items drop ect)

With the addition of Synthesis, trade has become worse if it wasn't already bad, needing to whisper 100+ people and just get ignored is my biggest issue with PoE.

Even if not an AH we really need some trade improvements, so I really want to know if you guys have any plans with improving trading going forward. Because it gets worse each league with more items.

How do you plan on keeping your original core audience engaged in the game while new players constantly demand easier and more accessible content?

Also, I know we don't represent a large portion of your players any more, but would there be any chance for something like HC-exclusive re-colors of challenge rewards? Or anything of the sort at all?

You must have some vague plans on what development will look like after 4.0. Are we going to see any major changes to how things are running?

It's been rumored that you guys can completely disable currency item drops for accounts accused of being bots.

Do you actually have the ability to disable certain items for individual accounts from being dropped by monsters?

Did I say something bad and get blocked from finding The Doctor cards? Kappa

Have you guys considered providing new players with atleast a free currency/map tab? The way I see it now is I can't really consider PoE a non p2w game anymore because buying those tabs gives you a clear advantage over someone who doesn't. Also needing to install 3rd party programs just to sell your items if you don't buy premium tabs is another big no from me.

When a new instance is created, why leave the old ones up?

Dialla mentions something called the Twist in Act 3. Will we ever find out what it was/is?
