$12USD On Sale For A Map Tab?

[Removed by Support]

TLDR: I'm more wiling to drop $15USD on a bundle of tabs. I'm not spending that much on a single stash tab. Between Gem, Map, Flask, Premium, Currency, Unique, Essence, Delerium, it adds up. And by the way, lots of those are $3USD, no where near $12-15.

I've already spent pretty significant money on this game, which won't even be released for a long time yet, including other personal and guild Stash Tab bundles. I've just come onto this forum to suggest that $12USD on sale price (Reg $15) for a map stash is more than I'm willing to spend as a consumer.

I get it, the GGG needs to make revenue to pay coders, etc. However, at the same time as I'm being asked to pay a pretty steep fee for stash tabs I've noticed a significant decrease in server stability, and GGG has announced that they're pulling a lot of their focus on POE2 in favour of POE1 - albeit temporarily.

I'm not mad. But this is a suggestions forum, so I'm making a suggestion. Maybe bundle the Map tab with some other tabs for a lower per tab price. I'd be willing to pay 160-180 coin for some bundles tabs that include the maps. I won't be paying anywhere near 120-150 for just a map tab. I'll just keep using my waystones, and/or continue to line them up in a standard or quad stash tab.

Agree or don't.

The price is not a turn off for me because of how useful it is, how many items can fit, and that the purchase is valid for 2 games. Plus this is eventually going F2P so the asking price doesn't seem as unreasonable to me.

However, I'm not paying any more into this game for other reasons which I hope they address in their next big patch. I really wanted the map tab as I started end game, but they waited too long to score that purchase from me (i.e. I got too far into end game & it's multitude of issues).

I don't feel paying $30 is too much. With a $30 purchase, one can get not only the map tab, but an assortment of others as well.

Classic game design for extracting as much money out of people as possible.

Design a problem. And then sell the solution for it.

Oh, we put 200 different maps in the game and you're running out of space in your 5 tiny stash tabs? Well... if you give us 15$, we'll give you a new stash tab to sort them!!

Oh, new patch. Look, we have Trading cards now!! Oh.. you don't have space in your 6 stash tabs for the 500 trading cards we just added? Well, if you hand us 15$, we can give you a new stash tab that should solve that problem!!

The Map Tab is 60 points on sale, 75 when not on sale, 60 points is 6$ USD, not sure where you took that 12/15$ usd, currency convertion maybe? Edit: Again with the emotional negativity, you guys are always mad.

If a game is fun and the gameplay loop isn't disrespecting your time, I see no issue with wanting to support the devs.

Yeah. I have no issue supporting a fun game.

I do however, have issues with game companies designing problems and selling solutions for them. Even if the game is super fun.

You could just support them through cosmetics. But they made it so that you have to buy stash tabs to be able to use your stash.

That's a predatory tactic no matter how you look at it. Lots of game companies employ them these days.

As I type this I just tabbed out of the game where it shows me that the Map Stash Tab is on sale for 120 in game coin, which equals $12USD.

...Although, also as I type this I have realized that because GGG has made a mess of their website between the two games, I may be in POE 1 forums right now... I am talking about POE 2.

To be fair, it's not like items are stored on the client side. I had a few crashes early on while in my stash, and being server-side has saved my loot from being lost a few times.

That's not really the issue is it. Lots of people are supporting the game. Hell, everyone is supporting POE 2 who is playing it right now because it's pay to play early access. Not to mention the amount of people running around with skins and flourishes they bought simply for aesthetics... I don't know what you're talking about.
