I don't even like this game. OP.... really?
It's F2P with cosmetic cash shop
Saying "oh just sell dlc like other single player games" doesn't even make sense.
You are trying to hard. |

In theory, always-online systems like that of Diablo 3 and PoE supposedly help to prevent cheating and hacking, keeping as much as possible serverside rather than clientside. That's the conventional defense anyway, whether you believe it or not. That said, though, I think the divergent responses goes a little beyond some righteous indy nerd rage. When you pay $60 dollars for a fundamentally singleplayer game that nonetheless requires an internet connection, that--to many people--looks a lot like DRM. When a game is F2P like PoE, however, such conspiracies don't really hold water. I think that's why PoE recieves less vocal criticism in this regard.

Now for everyone saying "it has GW 1 style HUB" and "the GW 1 style HUB encourages PUGs" how often do you pay attention to anyone in town? You don't, you click your quest givers sell your stuff and go back into your single-player phase....

MMOARPG = MMOARPG.
I hate online games that require you to be online. I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

Because it's free to play. Hope that helps you not to ask meaningless questions |
