Subscription system

Hi.

Sorry for my english.

Poe 2 looks amazing, and as i see it's not going to be a different game than poe 1, so it's almost 100% - POE2 will replace POE1.

I think there's time to make a subscription system for POE1 and POE2, it will make alot of money for the company and that only thing will really help with fight agains bots.

For nowadays BOTS in POE1 is a real problem. The game is free and new neuro-support via ChatGPT and other do making bots so easy. Now every guy with little programming skills can make bots and it will be only more badder via time. The only thing that can slow bots and minimize it's economic influence is subsciption system. The company gets the money from bots and use that money to fight with them, looks perfect.

I think subscription should be give access to trade league. And the game will be still free if you gonna play SSF.

The game have amazing loyal playerbase, and 10-15$ subscription per league will not be a problem for any of them. People spent alot more money on some cosmetic stuff what they're not gonne be use.

That my thoughts. Thanks. Sorry for my english again.

No thanks, a subscription makes you feel forced to play, and one of PoE's biggest draws for me is that i can pick it up when i like and not worry about leaving it for a few weeks.
For instance some of the leagues i have disliked have only had me playing for a week before quitting...on a subscription, that sucks.

Just buy supporter pack if you want to support the game. I do when I can afford, but due to heavy exchange rate, a sub of that amount would definitely put me out permanently.

First nobody wants poe to be a subscription game, not everything must be a subscription.

Second if you think bots are a real problem in POE 1 then you really have no clue about their impact.

The most detrimental bots that exist in games are farming bots, and those do not exist in POE, even if somehow you make a bot (that is not "easy" as you say, another thing you haven't a clue about) that can clear the poe campaign and get into maps, they would be banned before reaching even act 5.

The only bots in POE are trading bots, that have been heavily decreased by the introduction of Currency Exchange and the gold cost. Bots are definitely not a problem.

the best method to avoid bots in your game is to design your game in a way that it can't be played by bots.

of course it will challenge players playing from their sofa, those who don't like challenges or/and have less skill playing arpgs than bots (seeing the forum we got plenty of them) but you can't have it all.

i don't want to repeat the old stuff i preach (automation, etc), just an easy peasy example how to do it: we make labyrinth trials in the main game mandatory to pass the respective acts.

yeah, impossible.
