only cosmetics microtransactions. You can read the microtransaction section in the site. Game is awesome. And the beta is just a tag, is a released game, since there wont be any more server wipes.

I am just wondering, is this a P2W (Pay-to-win) or are the microtransactions just for cosmetics?`Tried finding the info ón the site, but it is a bit unclear :P

Path of Exile is not Pay to Win. They label their micro-transactions as ethical. The types of things you can purchase are cosmetic pets, modified skill effects, modified weapon appearances, modified equipment appearances, dance animations and account features such as more stash tabs, or additional character slots.

To sum up the game for anyone who quickly wants to know without researching much into it, if you loved Diablo 2 and were disappointed in Diablo 3, this is your game.

Mostly cosmetics and stash space. It isn't pay to win.
