    Never. They can’t force you to see other players hyper overpriced cosmetics every time you login if you’re offline. Same reason you always login to town where there’s other people and not your base.

      they downvoted them because they told them the truth

      also another big reason is cheating, drops are serverside so people can’t just cheat currency / equipment and flex with it online, people showing off is a big motivator for the poe community I feel

      dunno how it is now but PoE was unplayable when played from an HDD for a long time, you couldnt load into oriath without crashing because the amount of MTX would crash spaghetticode arpg, and they didn’t allow to load into hideout even back then
