Changes to Path of Exile's Account System

What about charnames pool? Will PoE2 have its own?

"

Unfortunately, any purchases made on PlayStation platforms cannot be used on other platforms, and purchases made on other platforms cannot be used on PlayStation platforms. Note that these purchases can still be on the same sub-account, but the microtransactions will be marked as unavailable when viewing them in your stash.

This is "L"
Just like a really massive "L"

NGL:
I am not a PS owner.
I only have 1 steam account.
I nither think nor know if there is that many people playing poe1 on PS.
This pronlems are barely toches me if at all.

But it is simply not a good parctice at all.
No one is in a position to judge GGG for "not trying" and "bad consumer practices" but there is some things developers MUST clarify soon.

I suggest to try specifying these much needed statements:

In regards to possibility of showing all microtransactions from all merged sub-accounts in one list
1) What is that exact technical or legal problem that does not allowing to use Microtransactions between PC and PS?

2.1) Why is it impossible to give or gift a usable copy of each microtransaction that is PS-related to an account that used on PC?
[and vice-versa]
2.2) Why is it impossible to give or gift a usable copy of each microtransaction that is PC-related to an account that used on PS?

In regards to THE SITUATION about purchases made on PlayStation consoles being unable to be used elsewhere and purchases made anywhere but PlayStation being unable to be used on Playstation
3) Are you [the DEVS and GGG ] willing to solve this situation in future?

4) Are you [the DEVS and GGG ] consider this situation as a problem?

In regards to the following assumption:
"If we assume that this situation cannot be solved by any other methods than those that are currently described by GGG"
5) De-facto probable siuation: All users are told to be treated equally. In fact some users are treated worse than the rest.
Many people who will study this situation will consider it a manifestation of consumer discrimination.
Will and/or Want you [the DEVS and GGG ] make a "damage control" action - what would it be?




In any case some affected people are already shown in this thread. There is no doubt more are yet to come here and to the forums like reddit.
I am NOT writing this all to praise GGG NOR to blame GGG. It is all in wague attempt help.
I wish you (the DEVS and GGG and players) the best.

Timing?

So can I play my PS4 POE acct on PC? T the hard drive failed and needs replaced by Sony, which will take 2-3 months

So when I merge Xbox and Steam accounts and have 2 sub-accounts and later ask support to transfer all the mtx from the Xbox sub-account to the other one, what happens when I buy another mtx on Xbox again? To which sub-account does it go? Will I not be able to transfer them again since it is a one-time action?

Lets go

Q: If my account is permanently banned in Path of Exile 1, will I be able to use it in Path of Exile 2?

A: No, you will have to create a new account.

is that even allowed under the TOS? i thought that is ban evasion. otherwise, pathofmatth could just have made a new account and carry on. or is it ok because it's different games?

He's reformed, don't hate.

This is not fair to say, it is because of Sony not GGG. I'd put money on it you actually don't play this game either.

If someone wants to merge their PS and PC account why can't you just add their PS mtx to their account? It's got nothing to do with Sony at that point, they have no say in you effectively gifting the player what they've rightfully purchased, but onto the merged account.

Whilst I've not seen the contracts, and so this is all a best guess, I fully expect this is entirely Sony PS T&Cs imposed on GGG and therefore outside their control. I also expect GGG have asked for an exception and been told "no".

Sony are notorious for wanting their percentage of PS-related sales, and prohibiting use elsewhere would not be surprising. Gifting to PS users seems at least likely to involve giving Sony a cut now of a PC transaction long past, which sounds commercially difficult for GGG, but more likely is just not possible even if GGG wanted to, as Sony may require the sale to be via PS not simply being written a cheque. This would seem like fairly standard corporate behaviour to me.

I would also expect GGG to be bound by confidentiality as part of the contract, so they can't tell us. Since that's common enough in contracts with such companies, esp. when they have such leverage over their platform/product.
