That said, this mostly goes for armor and emotes/back trophy/gravestone/etc., but weapons should indeed be available "solo", as those are items I might want to use for their style while wearing some other armor (set). So, having to buy 2 sets (one for just the armor, the other for just weapons) is kinda bad, I give you that.
every armour piece drop in the game has its own look at feel, So do the weapons,
Any cosmetic from either category will over write the defualt unique look of that weapon /armour drop. takes away the immersion for me.
the only cosmetic thats somewhat worth buying is the Horse armour and skin that or get the battlepass, rest everything is just overpriced for a game thats asks you money to buy.
There are limits to excuses like "PoE is free".
that money saved can be used to buy skins and utility items. that game offers 10 whole acts has way more mechanics than diablo4 or D3. and all of those systems are free
I am fine with paying money for Diablo 4 base game its worth the money,
But PoE offers the same experience for free plus way more polished end game content where you can make and customise your own instances/maps to your liking depending on your playstyle. to more focus on the Build your aiming towards.
So when you put it like that its okay for Skins to cost slightly more there but even still most dont buy skins, only the important utility stuff.
PoE is F2P game with a slightly predatory monetization (it forces all its players to buy stash tabs if they want to play it for more than just 4 hours)
If you think that Diablo 4 is way worse than PoE - That's fine, I'm not gonna argue with you, I just disagree when people who praise PoE also blame D4 specifically for PREDATORY monetization, while giving PoE a free pass! Obviously they don't understand the difference between predatory and aggressive monetization!
Premium price + Battle Pass + Skin shop = aggressive
Loot box / Gacha + Paywalled QoL upgrades = predatory
So if you think that PoE gives more for less $ - That's fine too, but don't lie about PoE being 100% free, because we both know that everyone who actually kept playing it for more than couple of days, eventually end up paying or they'll have to quit the game...
