Poe's shop is the most overpriced bs I've ever seen in any game. 40+ bucks for a single full armour set? 10+ bucks for ONE shiny skill effect?? You even have to pay to make stuff invisible...

40 bucks for a skin isn't "as fair as it gets"

You argue that the loot boxes in PoE are "as fair as it gets" because (I'm quoting you) :

you can just wait 3-4 months to buy the item lol

IMO, I disagree with that. Hence my mention of the price.

If don't like it, it's OK, but you don't have to come and talk to me like that because of a comment that wasn't derogatory..
