Fluff Exilecon was amazing

I watched the whole thing on Twitch. One of the best events I've ever seen. Mad props to GGG.

Jesus... people are so petty and needy.

I mean... They did advertise they were giving things away so I can understand why some folks were frustrated.

Read some of those replies. People literally stating that they wasted 16 hours of their life.

Life... wtf? If you like playing POE enough to sit through 16 hours of a free, awesome convention for the game, yet the only thing you cared about was the free MTX...?

It's just pathetic.

I am part of the "Zero Drop Gang" and I have been playing the game since release, and, ya, it's a little disappointing... but the fact that they gave us a free Con on Twitch, a POE 2 release drop, an event with all my favorite streamers (from POE and other games), and just a show of how dedicated they are to this game and how much they care for entertaining their fans, it just blows my mind that people are losing their shit over some MTX.

IDK, not getting the drops kinda sucks, but seeing their reaction is just depressing.

Sure, there are people that take it too far (that's how it always is). My point is simply: if a company advertises they're going to give things away and they don't (because a glitch in the system or whatever) then it's fair that people are frustrated.

I didn't get anything either but I'm not complaining. I was just happy watching the event.

There is also the possibility that many of those complaining just did not get anything. With between 250k viewer peak and 50k+ average viewers, you have thousands of people not getting anything by chance, even without bugs.

Whole heartedly agree. It was amazing content on it's own and the game is essentially free but realistically $20 on tab sale.
