$12USD On Sale For A Map Tab?

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.



It's a business tactic. No matter how scummy or predatory it is, at the end of the day, it's still a way for them to make money. That's all there is to it. You can have personal feelings about it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a business move. In the end, they just want your money. It's what they live and work for related to this game. They don't care about you as a person at all.

It's up to you to decide if it's worth your money or not. I paid for it because I have chosen to live in a virtual bubble, in which i think outweight the reality of the real world.
Literally everything JakkerONAIR#4902 said is what I would have said. +2 for actually having a brain and some common sense. People are just so blinded by the idea of ingame purchases without considering its a live service game designed to be free on release, and designed to let you invest hundreds if not thousands of hours into it.

I'm over here looking at the steam store of single player games priced at $80+ for at most a few dozen hours. Some even now passing the $110mark and still having DLC... People really need to calm it down with the hate and wild speculation.

Would rather have a good ARPG that had 400 hours of solid gameplay, than a live service with 10,000 hours of mediocre gameplay, and I would rather pay 100$ outright for that game, than spend 100$ in microtransactions for a mediocre liveservice. I would even prefer to play the better, paid game, over a completely free, mediocre live service game. Even if you paid me to play it, I probably still wouldn't consider it, not unless it was a substantial amount.

Game doesn't need to be live service, and most live service games do not have good quality. It is the unfortunate reality when your goal is to make money, instead of making a good solid game. There are a few exceptions, but they're just that. An exception.

GGG could be an exception though. They could emphasize the gameplay. They could come out on top. Just because something is free, doesn't mean it's better because of it. It's usually the opposite for games unfortunately. Unless the company has some morals and integrity, and passion to deliver a quality product. Very few companies are like this these days.
