Gifting subs for an Mtx

i imagine i am not alone not happy about this option of having to GIFT a sub ,
im sorry but alot off ppl dont use twitch we only use it for drops so the idea to being forced to give $ to someone that in most cases DONT NEED IT ...
Naaah no thanks and for that i DO wish that poe comes up with an other solution for the Chimera Pet as i bet ALOT would rather outright pay for it then support someone we have zero intentions to

Or hear me out , why not add to Valdo maps , MTX ? instead of ALL the trash items

"Are Twitch Drops rewards and the Chimera Pet exclusive?"

"All microtransactions from this promo will remain exclusive while Path of Exile 2 is in Early Access. Once Path of Exile 2 fully releases, these cosmetic effects will be available for purchase in both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2."

lol this reply is irrelevant to the post

Why is it irrelevant? If you dont want to support a streamer you can wait till the pet is in the shop on release and spend the money directly to ggg.

I'd just point out that the cost of 2 Twitch subscriptions is $5.99 each, or $12 in total. So it's equivalent to 120 points, which is quite cheap for a pet, and likely cheaper than it will be when it's released onto the shop page in a year

that is US and pre taxes
im not in the US
also im not seeing what tier needs to be gifted

ROFL perhaps cuz the game will only be possible released in 1 year
so easy to assume the early access is ~2-3 months at minimum

Check the FAQ. It says any tier, so you can pick the cheapest option

that price is us , not canadian with conversion and added taxes

tbh, i see this as a non issue.

its a promotional mtx that requires a purchase.

its a transaction.

its similar to a convenience store asking you to use their app to get a free goodie. or requiring you to make payment using a certain payment gateway.

you dont NEED to do it. no ones forcing you. the entire purpose of the "promotion" is to get you to do it.

if you're really opposed to it. vote with your wallet/actions.
dont buy it.
