Look, we don’t mean to shock anyone, but
Path of Exile needs to make money, and it does so via its cash shop. That’s the way its business model works. However, that business model does require you to have the most accessible cash shop possible to ensure that people can buy what you’re offering. So it’s probably a good thing that
the game’s newest patch will add much-desired filter options to the cash shop, along with a cleaner and more central user interface.
The patch also adds in 3D models for two remaining Bestiary armor sets, along with a variety of other bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. It’s not a huge set of content changes, but it should make the game a bit more pleasant… and it should make it a bit cleaner to spend money in the game, which allows the team to provide more content in the future. So that’s all right.
