Who saying that leagues must be 4-8 months u so damn wrong people. Real leagues must be 1-2 months and level cap decreased via cutting off experience to level up at last levels. Why 1-2 months? - Simple: cos if u played in onslaught/nemesis/invasion u can remember how people playing 1-2 months then instantly all going offline u see dead public/chats/trades and even more people quitting game. Meanwhile u also were able to see that massive insane online during last 2 week race (short "leag") where u dont even begging devs to create auction house system - cos all people playing and u easily using trade chat, easily using public groups for those who alone and u simply having more funs cos u see that people playing this game and its "alive" not "dead" like last 2 months of any league such invasion. I understand only 1 thing that stopping devs from making 1-2 months leagues - they proly wont able to make new stuff in time to keep that release rates etc. On another hand they could host much more 1-2 week "races/leagues" during such long 4 month leagues - then sure it can solve "dead league" troubles without removing 4 month time allowed from those who inlove with super long leagues. :)

That has nothing to do with how long league is. But it has everything to do with end game being utter shit, and high lvl maps only being able to be maintained via credit card.

Oh yea, also invasion was fail since 0 time was devoted to balance invasion bosses, so many people quit due to that.

We'll be running a special one-month event starting the weekend after Ambush/Invasion end (Friday July 11, US time).

Wait wat time?

this is literaly THE SHIT

Thanks for your awesome work GGG,
tried a lot of games within the last 2 years and always come back to poe cause nothing reaches it's complexicity (does this word even exist? :D)

"We recently made a change where the contents of a remove-only tab are automatically moved into a new stash tab as one is purchased. This was primarily to fix a technical problem, but happens to also help users who purchase a lot of stash tabs when challenge leagues end and don't want to have to move the items across one at a time."


honestly, that kind of sucks, I think you know it sucks for people and will make them buy more stash tabs. Sort of fair play, I guess, but I will never buy new stash tabs now as they would just disappear without me really getting anything.

Ok, i realize why you do not like remove-stash changes, but have you considered the positive side of this change:

Most of the people can not afford to buy 100-200-300 stash tabs. So I don't think GGG decided this change as a stash tab sale increase, but to normalize the economy in the game. This will not change anything in the new leagues, but it will be huge change in the permanent leagues where people stand on mountains of decent and semi good items.
Personally I don't have a lot stash tabs (and yes they are all full with junks), neither I have a lot remove stash tabs (3-4 from races which i don't know what to do). So what comes to my mind is that people that have crazy amount of remove stash tabs (from races or previous leagues with good items just lay down not used at all) should consider either to start sell, either to destroy items in order to free some space. Which result in:
A lot of people do not have any space for items -> They have to sell what they have or destroy it -> It is better to sell it -> Big amount of people need to sell lots of items so they can afford more space for new items -> When there is huge amount of product on the market the price go down. So what I think that will happen is:

1.Lots of items with price ~1alc-1chaos will be destroyed which may result in better price for lower rarity uniques (rares) .
2.Some better uniques (rares) may become more affordable.
3.Better price for the stuff you found (since there is no thousands more on the market)

Top rarity uniques (rares) probably will remain unchanged.

Probably I mistake, but I think this change will have huge impact on the economy in standard-hardcore leagues.

Also, as someone already mentioned, the next change should be that "remove tabs only" can not be linked/forum posted or anything else except the option to move them in normal stash tabs. The game should be dynamic after all.

Sorry if my English is disaster.

no I think that just favours people who buy stash tabs over people who happen to have them left over from other leagues, so the more money you pay GGG the more game advantage you have. They know this, its why they made the changes imo. It doesnt make anything more fair and doesnt help anything economically.

Of course the more money people pay, the better improvement of the game will come. Personally I don't spend a lot money in games (especially if its free) because my budged in not big. But when the game is good and gives me real enjoyment I pay what I can afford to pay. Which contributes little for the game and also gives me some cool stuff in return.

PoE its amazing game and GGG make it even better every day. So in future I`ll be pleased to spend even more money into it (according to my budged of course).

ive donated $200 + to this game, and will not be pleased to spend another penny when they have introduced a cynical cash grab change to how things work which means any future donations I make dont result in me getting "some cool stuff in return" until I outbuy every remove only tab I have. Its not just a case of money, its a case of principal.
