QoL Features from Chinese PoE That Should Be Added to the International Version
" Oh, I see. So just because a system can be done without P2W means I’m already in the wrong? How about we take a step back and recognize that convenience doesn’t automatically equal pay-to-win? Not every QoL feature is a secret gateway to turning the game into a cash grab. 1. Paid coins – In the case of Revive Coins, no, they aren’t mandatory and are often free. If that’s "P2W" for you, then I guess stash tabs are too, right? 2. Twitch pets – Not free ($5-10) Unless you have Amazon Prime Subs for Twitch, but again, the currency pickup pet isn’t about automating the entire game, just saving time from the same repetitive action. Funny how pets that just pick up currency are the biggest threat to ruining the game, but buying stash tabs to actually sell the loot you get isn’t a problem? Seems like paying for inventory space to make a profit is totally fine, but a pet picking up coins is a step too far. I guess convenience is only acceptable when it’s helping with things that don’t directly affect your gameplay experience, right? XD 3. VIP System – Just because something adds convenience doesn't mean it breaks the game. VIP systems can be purely cosmetic, or at worst, just offer better organization. You’re not going to gain gameplay power with cosmetics. No one's trading a stash tab for the win... 4. Daily login rewards – If a daily bonus is the reason you think the game is turning into a “pay-to-win” nightmare, then I guess free login rewards in any game are all just a trap, huh? I’m not talking about giving players free powerful items, just minor bonuses that won’t affect gameplay balance. I get it—anything that can potentially involve money is inherently suspicious. But not every convenience or improvement is going to derail the entire experience. I’m not talking about taking over the game with these changes, just removing small annoyances that could benefit the player experience without breaking it.

" The people who do not buy it are at a huge disadvantage compared to the people who do. Which is why I agree with an unpopular opinion that stash tabs are P2W. Eat your vegetables.
