It's genuinely parhetic that people still don't understand that there are several teams within a studio. The folks creating mtx aren't the ones fixing bugs or balancing. Poe has always had mtx. It allows it to live in the f2p space and allows those of us who love the game to support it how we choose. It has been stated over and over that poe 1 mtx will be implemented into poe 2 as it develops. Every single update in this game has required balancing and bug fixes, much like every other game to exist. But, hey you can always go play Diablo 4. Cause a billion dollar company got it right, right?
