you dont need to buy one to play the season
When it comes to battle passes or whatever you choose to call them, people just need to be stronger and not buy them, if people buy them companies will just come up with more ways to prise your wallet open, be strong and dont feed them.
It really isnt hard.

Most people don’t buy a season/battle pass. Much like most people don’t buy supporter packs. Much like most people don’t buy MTX. Those that do, usually do because they want to support the company. There is really no difference between a supporter pack and a battle pass in PoE.
If most people didn’t buy these things, these things would not excist.
Not really. You just need enough people to buy them, not most. Besides, supporter packs are optional, you don’t need to buy them. Those that do buy them do so because they like the game and want to support the devs so that the game will continue existing and being improved for a longer time.
Without supporter packs, battle passes or MTX shop, PoE would have lasted a couple years at most, same for many other games.

Battle passes/seasonal passes are also optional… Poe & D4 have free tracks and doesn’t effect the playing of the game in seasonal content.
So my point is, if it bothers anyone, dont buy it, simple really.

I agree with that. But you were arguing that people shouldn’t buy them.
As long as those options all remain optional and only give MTX or other stuff that gives no in-game advantage, they can come up with however many they want. A live service needs a lot of investment to survive for many years.
I dont think they should buy them, especially if you buy the game in the first place, its just a grab on players wallets.
But if its free in the game you cant avoid that, apart from not playing the game at all.

Amen 
It’s incredible that these little & not offensive details can add so much to players like us. Just seeing a different pet, a different armor, a different sword works like a charm to spice up things to me.
But that need to be carefully planned and don’t mess up with any system or balance of the game.
I prefer to have none than to have something badly designed.

I’m all for a season pass if it’s for reasonable price (£7-£15)
Some people needs to get a grip, if we want a live service game which is good to have even better content as times go on, keep the servers alive, they need a good steady flow of income.
If the devs continue to put their heart in to the game , I’m happy to buy a season pass every new cycle.

Season Pass is not something I am against.
Just saying. It is a choice.
Not against it so long as it applies to the “eternal realm” and it’s cosmetics only.
Strongly against should it only apply to seasonal characters as that would generate FOMO.
Passes and supporter packs are very similar in this regard (generating regular cashflow). I dont mind either. But much prefer a model closer to POE’s supporter packs.
My reflex reaction, coming from D4, is nope. But honestly it depends on how it’s implemented. An aside to that is also don’t do a holiday event and lock it’s cosmetics behind the money shop. Truth being I think most people draw back from the pass system because if a game is a purchase to play type deal it feels like you’re also paying a sub to play it. If the game was free to download/play then a means by which to pay for the further development is understandable. That’s the logic behind money stores. Passes serve that purpose as well.
