How to play this game without paying GGG for a stash tab?
>>
>>375535659
Make 40 characters, retard
>>
Stop being poor
>>
>>375535659

Very slowly. The game isn't worth playing if you aren't going to pay. It is P2W, but not significantly, overbearingly so. It is enough that I'll never play it again, though.

The same way you did with Diablo 2.

Casual much?

>>375535761
outside of stash tabs, how is it pay to win?
>>
Loot filter
Multiple clients/characters
Realize you're playing a game and if you're enjoying it you're doing nothing to reward those who've provided this to you by avoiding the stash tab mechanic

If you don't have a spare $5, you need to stop playing video games entirely and go get a fucking job.

>>375538453
On a molecular level, the atoms of lead are very compact and close together. They are "dense". This is why lead vests are used to protect you from X-rays when you go to the dentist. The lead protects you from the X-Rays, none of them get through.

In this instance, anon is using the molecular density of lead as a simile and using that simile to insult your intelligence.

Lead is one of the densest materials on earth you uneducated, pathetic, malignant tumour of society. Density does not correlate with malleability.

i'm not going to trust metal statistics published on a website that sells metal, because those statistics are skewed so that potential customers will be more inclined to purchase their products.

>>
>>375535659

Pretty easily, actually. If you stick to playing one or two characters you'll have more than enough storage to work with. There is no good reason to hoard like 3 tabs of currency, and if you ever play long enough to get to that point it's not going to kill you to finally pay $5-$10 for a game you are clearly invested in and enjoying at that point.
>>
>>375540029
You can have bunch of account and GGG intentionally make poe.exe limit open is 2, which mean you can have 8 stash tabs
I 36/40 and bought a skyforth in 3rd week of perandus with multiple 9x chars, stop being a shitters and learn to play the game
>>
>>375540245
No. We're saying that once all of those slots become full, it's what are you going to do with all of those items?

>it's nearly impossible to sell items without using a premium stash tab to list them on poe.trade because trade chat is nothing but bots and no real humans use it.
>>
>>375540290
You're totally missing the point of this thread.

This thread is about how difficult it is to sell your items without a premium stash tab. It takes HOURS just to sell one item.
>>
>>375540480
>what is acquistion
The poe.trade is already a 3rd party program, using 1 more wont kill you
>>
>>375540635
see >>375537389
>>
>>375540480
I've been playing for many years with only one stash tab dedicated to trading, Acquisition or any other 3rd party program is free, the premium tab is only a bridge to what is a freely open API

Conversely, the argument that you have an advantage past a certain amount of premium tabs quickly loses any value considering all the time you lose micromanaging your virtual shop is time you didn't spend actually playing the game
>>
>>375540245
>>375540420
>don't worry you can go through the hassle of managing different characters and accounts for shit you want to keep
Okay. Dunno why you fags wont just admit that it's P2W. Could be worse, but it doesn't change the facts.

>>375540635
did they ever fix the security leak in acquisition?
>>
>>375540627
I actually make a test with acquistion, premium tabs and the 3rd party with gcp recipe add-on
Items on 3 account actually listed randomly, its 20% depend on your luck and 80% depend on price you list/the actual value of item
>>
>>375540480
>>375540627

You don't NEED to do that, though. Saying it's some kind of requirement for winning is downright stupid. Thus, saying stash tabs are "pay to win" is equally stupid.

And again, if you get to that point in the game what the shit does $5 or whatever matter?

>>375540865
What security leak ?
YOu mean the conspiracy of those ledditor saying those people with multiple HH scan your stash tabs to see if you have a mirror and buy them as fast as they could?
>>
>>375540853
Because you're not winning anything. It's a PvE arpg, not some kind of competitive PvP game where getting a paid edge over your opponent would obviously tip the game into the p2w territory. Things like game knowledge, game experience, and your playstyle efficiency are much more valuable and meaningful in your progress than shaving 10 seconds by dumping your trash gear into premium tabs instead of learning to separate the good from the trash.
>>

>>
>>375537223
So basically you want GGG to provide you entertainment for free?
>>
>>375540853
Who did you win against though ?
Because as far as I know, people with skyforth in 3rd week of new league >>375540420
is like 1% of those people who bought stash tabs
>>
>>375541289
You're like 18 and don't know what P2W is. When you market a game as F2P but sell advantages, no matter how minuscule, that counts and has counted for years as p2w. Context such as PvE and PvP do not fucking matter. Both can and will be competitive in some form or another.

Read up on it junior. I'm not going to sit here and spoon feed you facts all damn day.

>>375541835
An advantage that 99% of people with it cant use to be better than me ?
>>
>>375541637
It's not an advantage meaningful enough to be considered as unfair compared to free players. You could argue it's not even an advantage at all, as micromanaging more stored gear can easily end up being a net loss of time/currency if you don't know what you're doing. Is the game p2w because game knowledge matters? Does the game requiring you to be literate and having some time invested in it to learn the ropes count as being p2w?

>You're like 18 and don't know what P2W is.
You're like clueless and trying to conveniently label games you're not proficient as p2w.
>>
>>375541464
Yes.

GGG's entire income should come from voluntary cosmetic purchases. You shouldn't be required to take the stairs. Everyone should be allowed to use the elevator.

I'm not bitching, I don't have an issue with it. But it IS P2W. I accept that, time for you to do the same.

Don't collect any gems (except for corrupted / special ones you can buy all of them at act 3 in merci) and don't hold onto junk just because it's orange. 1 tab for currency, one tab for super rare stuff (really rare stuff) + corrupted gems, and one tab for skill jewls and maps.

It should hold for like 4-5 characters at least.

>It is P2W
Sound like you haven't played this game at all. It's far from p2w, all the transactions are cosmetic bullshit and while extra tabs are nice if you want lots of characters, they don't really improve the power of the characters themselves.

Instead of tabs you can just delete characters you don't use.

No there isn't.

If you installed PoE via steam, the ONLY way to use acquisition is to give acquisition your steam ID and password. The other methods don't work.

The only way to use the other options is to complete uninstall the game and reinstall it by downloading the game for the PoE website, which means completely starting over.

you'll be limited and while there's no certain point where it stops being a weakness to your storage and vending it's still P2W because it punishes you enough to make you want to spend $$$, 4 stash tabs is not enough and when none of them are premium it's even worse.

also

>game is only living because it relies on a 3rd party site as a marketplace which is absolute cancer
>because no one has any obligation to sell any items they list leading to blatant and constant scamming
>lower price with my X item for 5c instead of 7c norm
>buy some retard who put theirs for 4c cause they didn't look

and this happens often enough, even with flippers who just buy cheap and sell higher all day, easily the best way to gain currency, don't even have to play

That's a cop-out. Either you think there's something to be won in PoE, a casual PvE arpg or you don't. If there's nothing to be won, then your definition of an advantage has no objective or logical basis to ground itself. What you view as an advantage means nothing to actually experienced players, it means nothing to casual players who are disconnected from the meta-game and couldn't care less about trying to push top 50 or any similar worthless goal.

>>375544608
Not sure if I had 5 socket uniques, I had a lot but the ones I remember using had 4 (I think).
Anyway it makes no difference, when I need to get rid of a unique I usually give it for free to some random dude, but if no one wants it I'll vendor (I guess the uniques I vendored were shit anyway if no one wanted them)

You may find it stupid as fuck but I managed to get very far in the game, I don't feel too challenged by it, I don't do a lot of pvp (occasionally it's nice but I don't focus builds around it) and I generally enjoy the game.

So I don't see a problem with it.

just wait. eventually, you'll have an entire tab of items you know deep in your gut are worth WAY more than the vendors will give you for it.

Then you'll want to sell it to players.

You'll try trade chat. You might make a sale or two over the course of one week, but eventually you'll begrudingly accept that you've been shouting at bots for hours and no human players use it.

Then you'll try acquisition. You'll install it. And then, acquisition will ask you for your steam ID and password.

And you'll either give it to them, buy a premium stash tab so that real human players can see your items on poe.trade, or quit playing.

Those are your only options.

It's not an advantage though. The more gear you store, the more time you have to manage it, the less time you have to actually kill monsters and earn loot. It doesn't follow a linear progression of more tabs = more wealth otherwise that guy with 2500 tabs would be richer than everyone else, but he isn't.

that guy with 2500 tabs doesn't have to do any management, he can just throw anything he wants in the stash.

Meanwhile the guy with only 4 tabs has to do actual managing deciding what to keep and what to delete in order to make space
>>
>>375547640
the more gear you store the more you can potentially sell retard, the time it takes to manage a billion items in 4 stash tabs is much higher than just tossing things into whatever stash tab you need that's all color coded and setup for you.

and people with more stash tabs are typically richer so fuck off
>>
>>375547496
he's right thou. that's exactly what PoE is.
>>
by that logic if stash tabs aren't P2W they could cut the size of your inventory in half right now and charge you $20 to double it again

it's not p2w because it has no affect on you killing or leveling faster or survival

>main features of the game is loot
>>>severely limits the amount of loot you can hold

>>
>>375547846
Premium stash tabs automatically list your items on poe.trade.

Selling your unique is simply a matter of putting the item in the premium stash tab, setting a price and then waiting for players to whisper you.

NOT buying a premium stash tab will make selling your uniques much, much more difficult.

Your post actually make the game sound like pay to lose
The game is all about knowledge, the more you recipe, price of combination of mods, how rare some mods are,.... the more advantage you will have

Inventory size has a direct effect on your gameplay, as you're limited to 6 trips a map. Stash size has no direct effect on your gameplay. What you choose to store or not is on you. Turns out trying to shift the argument to something else means you implicitly admit you've conceded already.

>>375548864
Anything you don't vendor is less raw currency.

Any time you're letting items rot in your 2500 stash tabs instead of selling them, you're being inefficient. Items don't have a fixed value in a changing economy.

Any time you interrupt your mapping for a 2c trade, you're being inefficient.

Any time you choose to ignore the skill of assessin an item's value in 0.5 second, you're being inefficient.

The guy with 4 tabs and game knowledge will beat you. Every single time.

If something sits around for a week, how is it any different from using a mule?
Are you saying a static storage space you check once a week matters whether it's in the form of a stash tab or a character inventory?

If you do not understand the concept of value depreciation especially in the volatile context of the first 2 weeks of a league where "winning" matters, how are you at an advantage?

>Also storage space for currency itself becomes a serious issue with only 4 tabs.
No, because currency is constantly consumed if you know what you're doing. Mapping itself is a constant currency sink. Upgrading gear should be a constant currency sink. If you're at the point where neither of these are relevant, the league is already over.

Because it is in no way required to get anything important done. The 4 tabs you start with give you ample time to experience the game, and selling items to other player adds very, very little.

Until you are able to pay for more inventory space/ speed up experience gain or even recoded to cant have more than 1 instance of poe.exe running at once it is not P2W
The dev official stated that you can make multiple account and trade item between them as freely as you want and they will allow that,meaning you will have 4x(the amount of email you have) as much as stash tabs
And as long as they allow you to use 3rd party trade program and the "Auction house" is another 3rd party program, trade will not be the P2W aspect of the game

As someone who hasn't put any money into PoE and has a headhunter, 100 odd exalts and a few decked out character this league, which is by no means a great deal admittedly, stash tabs are definitely pay to win.

In order to compete with the advantage that stash tabs give you you have to devote a lot of hours into arranging your inventories. A lot of hours. Dozens. So tell me how freemium games with pay-to-not-wait is pay-to-win but PoE isn't. Stash tabs is a very big advantage over other players simply by giving GGG money. It makes getting endgame items like Headhunter or Skyforth or mirror-quality gear ridiculously more time-consuming for a free-to-play player.

While players are not in direct player versus player competition they ARE in economic competition. Players without stash tabs have to put in more hours to acquire the same amount of currency items even if they work efficiently, consequently they are likely going to be out-competed when it comes to buying items they want for their characters, meaning it is much more difficult for free-to-play players to suit up their character.

There's worse than stash tab advantage in this game though. RMT groups frequently market manipulate, exploit or bot which makes items much harder for other players to acquire so that they can sell the items online. For the first couple of weeks of this league people were essentially duping chayula breachstones for instance.

So basically this game is vanilla diablo 3, without gold as currency, better crafting, marginally better endgame, seasons and better passive tree and build diversity but you pretty much just mash 1 button on every build you play and there is no mechanical skill?

POE is even more about building everything around one skill that most other ARPGs simply because of the limited sockets, and how right now most support gems are just used to boost damage only.

>You have to devote more time compared to people who can just buy more tabs and clean more!

No shit. If I could have a maid to clean all my shit, I can devote less time to cleaning. Life isn't F2P either, you manchildren. I don't understand why people are mad at GGG for releasing a free game and then make it so they can actually stay alive as a company to keep moving PoE better (or worse). Between server costs in like 9 different regions of the world, paying employees, technology costs, management and maintenance; what the fuck do you people want? You have options. Pick one instead of whining because it isn't defined for you.

>>375557661
You can either make those mash 1 button builds, something ridiculously technical or something facerolly. PoE's strength is that you have true build diversity and people act like there isn't because the best builds happen to be the ones that people craft to abuse shit. Remember how firebird was pretty much the only good wizard build in D3 for a while? It's like that. You don't HAVE to play firebird but it's just really fucking good.

In a game like PoE? No, it's not. You obviously don't understand or underestimate the cost. PoE is designed for the higher end of players to have these tabs. Every single time you go into a high end map, you are going to be able to fill one tab unless you're being ridiculously selective (Which happens anyway even if you have 50 tabs or not) and GGG knows this. There's a reason why tabs are on sale so often, it's because it is what they make the most money off of. New players are not going to dump $20 into the game just to get MTX when they can't even make it end game but everyone can make use of more stash tabs. GGG is also not a company that has other constant, high level streams of profit; they are not Riot or Blizzard. PoE is their main haven to keep their company afloat.

Quantity is better than rarity, but a combination of both is best. Think of it this way: You have 3 rolls of a die, you have to roll a 6 to win. You have two cups to use, one slightly increases your odds to roll a 6, the other gives you one or two more rolls.

You don't personally get to define the win scenario. The game is nothing but a grind simulator with gamble mechanics. There is no way to win, you only set goals for your characters development.

if you get to the point of needing more than 4 tabs, you should probably throw them $10-20 for tabs. I'm biased though cuz its my main game. They've made it harder and harder to play without buying more, but you can also mule on alts (annoying).
>>
>>375556025
Because once you have $20-$40 of stash tabs you never have to spend money on them again. It's a one time fee. Buying extra tabs after that gets you more of a headache instead of any benefit. Where as in pay to not wait games you typically end up having to do it constantly without end.

A one time payment to play a game isn't a problem. It's like saying Nier is pay to win because you have to buy the game.

PoE is like this except it just has a incredibly extensive demo.

you are literally admitting you're a cheap jew and/or child that won't drop a couple bucks on a game that you wish you had the patience and drive to be good in, but aren't, so you come here to complain about the "p2w" aspect when its your own impatience and lack of discipline preventing you from enjoying it like all the youtuber faggots you spend all your waking hours watching.

Nut the fuck up, read a build guide, follow it, get to end game, learn the mechanics, make your own build in 3.0, stop being a bitch, and if you like the game by then, buy a tab you cheap fuck.

>>
>>375543815
if you think you can play this game after the story with only 4 stash tabs and without a currency tab, then you are being delusional
>>
>>375564918
And what benefit is that? I can barely find use for more then 25 of my tabs and even then that's just me being anal with my map sorting. there's no point in holding onto vendor trash and you just need tab or two of chaos/regal recipes.
>>
>>375565184
At most the benefit would be for item hoarders who public all tabs and place gear in them for 1c and get constant people wanting to buy/sell. But even then thats a niche thing.
>>
>>375564869
Again, the point of the argument was whether stash tabs constitute a p2w microtransaction or not. Being a 'cheap jew' or being bad has no bearing on that. Stop moving goalposts

It serves it's purpose, specially when a character looks awful if you're trying wacky equipment (hubris on marauder, etc), they look good with the Breach Wings, but I believe they look even better with the gore set since it gives you a red aura that would match the wings.

You can list them with acquisition. Which updates one poe.trade faster than with tabs and lets you list equipped items.

1. How stash tabs stop you from trading
2. How trading make you win more.

You dont have any advantages over anybody. It's literally just a time saver. That's it. It does not give you better gear or increase your health.

It's like saying that an alternate art for a Magic card is pay to win.

>>375568112
Not really not.

You dont have to trade. At all. Go play SSF if you mind people saving some time. In SSF there is no way to trade at all.

>>375568186
1. Get a filter because you shouldn't be picking up white items unless they have an RGB link which a filter will point out to you
2. Always pick up currency, which a filter will point out
3. Pick up and ID rares to sell. That's all you should be vendoring really.
4. Pick up gems with quality and flasks with quality (superior prefix when they're on the ground), which a filter will point out.
5. Get a filter. Literally just google PoE filter and you'll get Neversink's, of which you should use the basic version.
>>
>>375568186
In general rule, pick up only yellow (rare) to sell.
You should at least activate the Loot filter to clean up the trash.

Do not pick up whites unless they have a good socket pattern.

Go in Settings, UI, at the bottom, Loot Filter, and set the Default one. It will remove from your sight the useless garbage items.

If stash trabs are pay to win does that mean as long as I buy more than anyone else I'm going to have the top character?

A free-to-play game does not mean that everything is free, it just means that the barrier to entry is free. People are delusional to think they should be able to get everything for nothing.

Can't you justify giving GGG $22.5 USD (currency + premium stash bundle) if you've played the game for dozens of hours and still looking forward to playing dozens more? If anything, that'll enhance your experience not having to deal with stash management.

The currency tab is the biggest QoL tab since storing currency takes up a lot of space that can be used for other things. I've played this game on and off for 3+ years now and given them $60. I barely even use half of my premium tabs now because of the currency tab.

I did online surveys for the money to buy stash tabs because I'm a poorfag.

with massive amounts of content and the ability to scam and fuck with sensitive souls, and it is free. I played for like 2 years before I bought stash tabs, and if you play scrubcore you can easily beat all the endgame content with just 4 tabs.

They really need to increase the base amount of stash tabs to 6 at least, and maybe have one of those be a premium.

Trading is so essential to the game if you intend to reach any form of late late game without grinding for weeks or even months. Sure Acquisition is a thing and it works fine, but I don't think a game or the player for that matter should have to rely on a third party program for trading when the developers themselves consider it an integral part of the game.

Four stash tabs isn't nearly enough anymore either. It might have been enough to just get by back when the game came out. Nowadays though we have divination cards, essences, splinters, sextants, etc. There's basically a lot of stuff that's been added that the player is encouraged to collect for either trading or crafting purposes but the amount of available space you start with was never expanded to compensate.

The argument is more about convenience either way. Yes you can sort of circumvent all of these issues by using several mule characters. But the player experience is hampered by a very limited trade system that is only endurable through paying for improvements to it despite trading providing huge benefits for all players.

I personally don't think UI and logistic mechanics should be handled that way personally. There's better ways to provide incentive for people to purchase MTXs than locking pure convenience behind a paywall.
