Ironically I'm less concerned with battle passes as long as they don't sell power. The actual mtx itself doesn't bother me, I've easily spent hundreds in path of exile. But I prefer to enjoy the game first, and then at some point decide that I want to support the devs, and then maybe I buy something.

Yeah it blows my mind how much I've spent on league supporter kits as well. Not sure if it is because I enjoy the game or I respect the business model.

I'm not against battle passes, but there are plenty of examples of how they fall under the predatory monetization category. Not selling power is hardly a justification that they aren't unethical.

I realized I had overdone it when two weeks in they were going to send me a free hoodie shipped from a different continent.

At least I ran out of things to buy there.
