So whats you guys opinions on seasonal event bonuses?

Absolutely fucking not - no items from menu, no events, no dailies, no weeklies, no timegates, no energy, nothing of the sort. I play a lot of games structured like that, and they're great, but I play PoE because it's not like that. And yes, I absolutely detest the free track on Kirak battle pass.

ok guys, the news just dropped.

whats your opinion on it now?

personally i dont feel its too forced but at the same time it split the community up as now we have "settlers" and "more rewarding settlers".

My opinion is they should give a free box at the end of every league like they used to.

There's no need for that to change. And frankly it feels shitty having to level to 50 just to get a box that will contain nothing.

No no. I'd rather buy the fucking weta. I don't want to play the base game again for no reason, i'm sick to hell of the base game. I only play for the league.

lets not turn this into another boring blizzard game shall we? GGG shouldnt take anything from blizzard all they do is low quality garbage

Holiday events are immersion breaking.

Which I know is a silly thing to say considering how immersion breaking 95% of all mtx is in this game.

Hard pass and unneccesary, Seasonal events have a forked development path from their inception

To justify a subscription (PoE doesn't have one - this is the MMO model)

or to keep engagement in order to siphon money (PoE isn't balanced to leverage this currently - this is the mobile model)

The strongest unifying principle of seasonal content GGG already have access to via league launches, anything else just waters down the result.

GGG could enshitify their game in order to benefit from directly seasonal events which is pretty much the industry model currently, but individuals should never advocate for this, the only people advocating for this wear suits in the financial department it has no other benefit. Any gameplay associated perks you may want as a client/player/customer etc can already be included without having a tap stuck into you to siphon maple syrup.
