Oh look, someone with common sense. It's uncommon it seems if you look at all the other responses just blindly giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Just say you don't know what you're talking about, you'll be far less judged.

Right, me or anyone else questioning something means WE'RE in the wrong, not that you're too gullible to see it as a possibility. Your "judgement" means nothing to me. Half your forum posts are arguing with people who have any critique about the game.

IMHO he's more than likely correct. I'm entirely convinced of it actually but it also doesn't matter. At least to me it doesn't.

It's okay. Everyone may be against you here, but you have my support. I firmly believe what you went through is totally not right and that they should make it work as intended since day 1. And with them not responding, I would be upset and wonder the same thing too.

They want to sell more Skins for Profit.

why should they make the POE1 Skins available.

Simple thinking >> Money Money Money..

Because the developers have already said that at release all mtx from poe 1 will be transferred.

On release.
Guys, don't you think that mtx is not EA's main problem now?

pretty sure a lot of people thought POE2 has "released".

any number of reasons why a portal that worked on day one might have gotten disabled, bug reports, funky behind the scenes database issues with a whole category of MTX some portals have a special sound for example and caching this sound could have been suspected of a crash bug or could have some circumstance where it blasted peoples ears by not playing nice with the games echo or reverb effects.

Could be as simple as "almost everything that uses this shader looks terrible lets disable until its sorted"

Just to be clear: GGG by even allowing old MTX to be in a new game have already done about 1million times more "ethical" treatment of its customers than literally every other existing live service game.

Like literally not a single other company I am aware of would do a quarter of this effort. Or pay one iota as much attention to what triggers players "P2W" or predatory monetization buttons.

In a world of Diablo Immortals GGG is a lonely island of live service gamer friendliness and this is even accounting for the loot boxes.

Other games have amply proven that GGG didn't have to do half of this shit if they didn't want to.

One thing GGG does not do is lie like other game companies.

Are you sure we're thinking about the same company?

Like, the OP is obviously a wild conspiracy theory, but are you really implying that the best bait-and-switch game devs in the business do not lie?

Nothing to complain about for me.
My Lord of Ogham skins work perfectly on PoE1 ^^

GGG released this EA far too early, it simply wasn't ready on many points (game balancing, item drop rates and currencies, PoE1 skins inaccessible in PoE2, etc.).
