MTX being "unavailable" conspiracy

I already made a previous post about this but it doesn't seem like many people caught on to what might be happening.

As I mentioned before, on the first day of Early Access, I was able to use my Ravager Apparition Portal in PoE 2 Early Access. It looked great with no issues making me believe that a part of the reason why I was able to is possibly because these supporter packs were created in the making of PoE 2 making it cross-compatible. I should have recorded gameplay for proof but I was able to use it.

On the second day, all of a sudden it tells me the portal is now "unavailable."

I have never seen anything like this being done with PoE 1. I did, a very long time ago for some reason have my classic purple portal taken away globally from my account without any explanation but with PoE 2 Early Access it seems really odd.

Either this is some type of bug or someone on the dev team decided it would be better if all of our previously owned mtx usage was held off until we spend some money on mtx in the beginning meanwhile we likely have the ability to use most, if not all of our mtx but they are just gated behind greed. I have no way of proving this but considering what happened in my situation I think something shady is going on.

I emailed support about this 3 days ago but got no response.

If anyone else had a similar issue with their mtx, they should report it so we can gauge if it's happening to other people.

What is more likely is that since there is a new character rig, the old mtx assets need to be reskinned to the new rig. I'm sure there is some automation, but I imagine the process isn't perfect and needs to be individually QA'd by the rigging team. I'm sure they will be unlocked in waves during the early access period.

Read what I wrote. I WAS able to use the Ravager Apparition portal on the first day. It looked flawless. I'm talking about that case specifically. Why would I be able to use the portal on the first day and then the next day it now says "unavailable."

Why would support ignore me emailing them about this if other emails I write get responded to and why would this not be mentioned anywhere by any dev.

Think from a profit-maximizing mindset. If they were to tell you, your mtx cannot be used right now because of technical limits, how would you be able to tell other than taking their word for it? I gave you a concrete example of what happened to me, I'm sure it happened to other people with their own mtx and they likely didn't bother reporting it.

Or maybe they are just working on the game that has been out for literally 3 days and it's not that deep? The characters look great without MTX. If you're buying MTX in an early access that's on you, there is absolutely no reason to.

What kind of argument is this? Look at your own support badges, you of all people should know that mtx makes the game feel better to play.

Also, do you people just not question anything and take everything at face value?

I didn't even say for a fact that's what's happening but with what happened in my case it made zero sense and them not responding is suspect.

Pack it up. Nothing to see here.

Also +1 Occam's Razor. Game is in EA. You're a nut

Your opinion and passive-aggressive insults mean nothing to me. Try harder next time.

Yea this part irritated me. They said they delayed it to help with getting the MTX over to POE2 let nothing I have will work. I bought more MTX for POE2 and that also is not available.

I had the complete opposite reaction. I saw they were updating existing MTX instead of just adding the old stuff looking like crap and thought "okay, I'll wait a bit". You're basically getting a free new MTX. I still have all the old stuff in PoE, the game I bought them for.
