I thought it would be around 2.5k. And I was thinking about it. Now I'm not. 35€ for an NPC.... it's "a bit" too much.

flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭That is almost $40 for a freaking assistant? WTF, i preorder new releases from Best Buy and it cost me 38 bucks plus tax. This might be the biggest ripoff i have ever seen in a video game. One assistant cost as much as i pay for entire games. Crap i bought this game on sale for $40 in December plus it gave may something like 8000-9000 crowns with it. But one assistant is 5000 crowns which is equivalent to almost $40?Edited by flguy147ub17_ESO on March 28, 2016 4:52PM23 -

Thats the Thieves Guild Assistant. Not the ones coming to the Store. Those will be doing different jobs.
As to the OP. I do agree. This might be a reflection of the sales department over reaching with the pricing. 2500 Crowns would of been much more reasonable.Edited by Korah_Eaglecry on March 28, 2016 4:56PMPenniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax1 -

Really? Where did you find that they only deal in stolen items? Because that seems to be the exact opposite of what that link says. Or didn't you read it before complaining? Especially because the one line specifies *NON-STOLEN* items. And I've never noticed that BANKERS buy anything at all, stolen or not.
Starting on March 31st, we'll be welcoming two additional assistants to Tamriel: Tythis Andromo the Banker and Nuzhimeh the Merchant. As his title suggests, Tythis is a banker that can be summoned whenever you or your group members need him to hold onto items or gold through your personal bank. Nuzhimeh will purchase anything that you or even your group offer to her. In addition to being incredibly convenient, Nuzhimeh will buy any non-stolen item, and neither will take any sort of cut when you or your group members use their services, so there are many profits to reap!Edited by JKorr on March 28, 2016 4:55PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭1000 Crowns is my limit for a convenience item. 5000 Crowns is not even worth consideration.
It is far too easy to port, for free, to a guild mate and then to a WS near a bank to spend anymore than that. I mean, one or two times I have had full bags and no easy way to get back to a bank (Cyrodiil) and during those times I just bounce mails off a friend.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Agreed. It would have to be for something truly spectacular before I'd consider paying that.
Now if it was inventory/bank space.... maybe. But not for a banker or merchant.2 -

✭ZoS officially announced the next group of assistants, so I am going to wait for one of those.
The Farmer (5k crowns):
This assistant will farm any level mats, will leave the crawlers just to *** off other players, and will openly complain about the drop rates on the forums while you are away at work.
The Drunk (5k crowns):
This is not so much an assistant as a "backseat" driver for while you do dungeon runs. This NPC will remove the pressure of telling others how to play by loudly and obnoxiously pointing out the misplays of other group members. He/she may even hurl a few insults and threaten to quit the dungeon if others don't agree to do the gold key.
The Gamer (10k crowns):
This is an NPC that will basically play the game for you, defeat your enemies, direct all your other assistants, and change your password so you cannot play the game anymore.
