    And PoE has some of the most expensive cosmetics I’ve seen and even they aren’t as bad as a $30 color variation portal. PoE balances it out because the game is free to play. What’s Diablo’s excuse?

      And poe has much cheaper, frequently on sale, qol purchases.

      Do I need a $2 currency storage tab? No. Will it make the game mildly smoother, and functionally be the “price” of the game for me if thats all I ever buy? Yup.

      Do I get to play as much game as possible before I decide to “buy” the game and get my currency tab? Absolutely.

      Cheap qol purchases for a f2p game makes the outrageous cosmetics far more acceptable.
