Remember when Bethseda came out with that @2.99 horse armor and gamers around the world lost their shit? Now $40 hat and we don't even blink a fucking eye at it.

I played WoW for years.

$60 each new expansion - typically once each year.

$14.99/mo subscription.

Blizzard MTX - $25 for the newest mount.

For a year of gameplay and a single mount purchase during that year with World of Warcraft, you're looking at:

$60 x ($15 x 12) + $25 = $265

Still feel like MTX w/POE are too expensive?

I sure don't.

$15 a month, $180 a year.

14 years, $2,520.

7 Expansions + Vanilla, $480.

Server transfers, name changes, etc, ~$400.

Total ~$3,580.

huh. never actually did the math on that.

So glad nobody caught the (x) after the $60. That should have been $60 + ($12 x $15) + $25... lol.

Glad you took the time to add it all up, too! It's crazy when you look at it like that. Blizzard eventually made it so you could buy sub tokens with in-game gold, and while the idea started out amazingly, the price of those tokens quickly skyrocketed out of most casual players' reach.

Anyway....

I'm new to PoE, but my plan is to buy a supporter pack with each new league. It's the least I could do, I think.

I wish people would stop knocking GGG for their means of earning money. Personally, I think it's amazing. They allow US to decide how much we think we should pay for one of the best ARPGs ever to grace our machines? Pfft. Quitcherbitchin!

Plenty of uniques have unusual effects, and some have built-in mtxes. Do you mean something else?

The quality of said effects is irrelevant to your original claim. You said they could redeem themselves by adding mtx in-game to uniques. They frequently do add mtx in-game, or at least unique visual effects.

You got proven wrong. Be gracious in your defeat and learn from the experience. Next time be more specific with your argument and don't try to move the goalposts afterwards. You being 'right' isn't worth looking like an obstinate troll, is it?

I'm done with you. Have a great Xmas. :)

PS: "This is an uncompleted list of unique Items with special optical effects, classified by alphabetical order."

VERY incomplete. None of my swords are even on there and two of those have unique effects that you won't find on any other items. It also doesn't include uniques like Facebreaker, which was to my knowledge the very first unique to have a built-in store-based mtx (extra gore).
