You don't give ZOS any money and you never have, and you never will. All you ever did or will do is purchase goods and services from them for money.
Vocabulary matters. I'm amazed at how some people overestimate their own spendings, or tend to victimize themselves as consumers.

Whoever buys these at this price is clinically insane.
Honestly, there is no justification. You're letting someone rip you off if you buy them.
I have eso plus and spent crown on mounts and so forth, but £32 per assistant is actually insanity.
5000 crowns is £22 (£21.82 to be exact) not £32.

5500 crown is usually £31.99 if bought through xbox store
Haven't read all the comments, but I'm just going to drop in here what I posted in the official discussion:5000 Crowns is way too much for assistants with such limited functionality. Let's recap those limits:
Banker
Cannot be used in Cyrodiil
Cannot access the Guild Bank
Cannot access the Guild Store
Merchant
Cannot be used in Cyrodiil
Cannot repair items
Does not sell anything
For only being able to access your Personal Bank, and for only buying your unwanted items, I don't think these assistants are worth more than 2000.

Which is why I took up the offer of discounted crowns when I could just for these little luxuries

Even then, we're still talking about around $20 worth... that's... ugh.[/quote
Maybe but nothing else out there to spend it on so might as well be here

Not that khajiit usually subscribes to the theories of conspiracy and the like.
Release outrageous pricing details, cause storm of protest, claim that you are listening to the feedback, reduce price, more people buy because they are grateful they will no longer have to sell a kidney to buy enough crowns.

There is a nice psychological trick. It works like that:
Imagine you want to get one chips from your friend. You need to ask him for something big, in example selling his soul to the Tanathos. He's going to refuse that. Then you ask him if he'll give you his whole bag of chips. Of course his bag of chips, car, wife and a dog is nothing compared to selling his soul to the Tanathos, so he'll give you everything.
When they're selling stuff for 400 Crowns and then introduce a merchant for 2500, the price is SOOO BIIG, but when they try to sell it for 10000 Crowns, and then humbly reduce price to 8000, they're so generous, listening to community, awesome and everyone's gonna buy that stuff...
So my point is - If they set a price from space and no one's going to complain about it - they got a big profit. And when they're going to complain anyway? Well, Zenimax will reduce the price a little bit, and everyone will be soooo happy, because now they can buy their beloved banker for 4k Crowns! and only 4k Crowns! Isn't that wonderful?!
