Hey Guys!
Since I have not seen a thread like this one... (Remove this if there is one though)
I decided to make a General POE thread.

If you do not know what it is here is the description on the main site which can be found Here
Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. We're a small independent team of hardcore gamers based in New Zealand and have created Path of Exile as the game that we'd want to play ourselves. It is designed around a strong barter-based online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races. The game is completely free and will never be "pay to win". If you'd like to play, just create an account.


So what you could post is Builds, Strategies and Achievements or any random things that happen in the game ^^

Please be nice to each other as I do not wish this to turn into any argument at all.

Honestly, one of the most fun aspects of PoE is designing your own and theorycrafting. During the beta, I probably spent longer designing my main characters build than actually playing it. Obviously you still need to do some research to make sure you understand everything properly, but there's no real fun in just copying builds, just feels unrewarding.

there is literally nothing you can buy in the game with real currency that isn't cosmetic aside from stash tabs, which you don't even need and don't affect the core gameplay mechanics whatsoever

lmao that's just poor

following that argument any game is pay to win because you can just pay someone else to play it for you

and it's funny that athene should be complaining, because if gggames put all those trade restrictions into place he would never have got anywhere

the point is ultimately that you can achieve the same level of success whether you pay a third party or not, it just takes longer one way. that isn't pay to win, that's pay to drain all the enjoyment from your own game - especially when so much of the game is based on gear and character advancement

Athene uploaded that video as a joke. Anyone who actually believes that is also a joke.

According to his reasoning, every game that has anything that can be traded is pay to win, because there will ALWAYS be some 3rd party website, be it amazon or ebay or whatever else, that will sell items/ingame currency for real money. That point of view is, frankly saying, stupid. He has a point though, it's damn hard to stop.

all those people do is shortcut their way to an eventually even playing ground (and in doing so, of course, forego the game's difficulty and enjoyment, so what's the point?)

if i can use league for a sec, it's kind of like saying this; two level 30s are laning against each other, except one bought an ip boost and has better runes as a result. therefore, league is pay to win. right?

going back to the core argument of third parties and athene's general point, we can also say league is pay to win because you can buy an elo boost. what would you say to that?

Wel yeah League is also pay to win if you look it that way , sadly almost every game is pay to win in one way or another

and that's exactly the point. if every game can be considered pay to win via third parties, then it's a null argument and athene is essentially saying nothing

Calling it an opinion implies there's no right or wrong answer. Your first mistake was either taking anything Athene says seriously or actually thinking he knows what he's talking about.

in that case the conclusion of his video should have been "video games? pay to win"

which i'm sure you understand is fucking dumb

look i am not a athene fan boy , but honestly i do like him and no i don't take him 100 % seriously cause his vids are always kinda trollish exept for his documentery ect but in the end he do know what he is talking about

The first post you made gives the impression that you literally just came here to argue. You need a more valid debate than "Athene said so lol".

Been playing for a bit, the only thing I ever had happen to me that was crazy was my massive lucky rng one day. I was raking in around 7 chaos an hour and played for a good half day. Farming Docks couldn't have been better.
