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.
