    Yup, because I don't care. Unlike the rest of this pessimistic community, I enjoy the new addition.

    Labeling people who have values different from your own as "pessimistic" says far more about your own outlook than it does about the rest of us. Get over yourself.

    No, because everyone who is playing doomsayer and crying out that this is the end of ESO... they ARE pessimistic. Just a fact. They are taking every little addition to the game as p2w and are freaking out.

    How about just... seeing what happens. Doubt it will be as bad as you think.

    Either way, things aren't going to change. I will bet money on that, regardless of all the doomsaying and complaints. People will leave, and 20 more that don't care will replace them.

    I, for one, will continue to enjoy the game, ragardless of the changes. Because I still find it fun, and I'm not going to let something this insignificant ruin my enjoyment.

    And this is why these companies will always go down the P2W route.

    I'd vote maybe on one of the rarer ones if I have a ton of crowns that I don't know what else to do with.

    Mostly I'd like to buy costumes and they seem to have been eaten by all the pets and mounts recently.

    I alredy have all of them unlockd so no. If i didn't unlock motifs however and crafting were playing more important role in this game then yes i'd purchase rare motifs at least. In any case for the moment it'd be a waste of money cuz best gear comes from drops, and those few parts that you have to craft...well it doesnt matter how they look. You gotta cover it up with a costume anyway usually.

    No way!

    The standard motifs cost like 500-700 gold ingame. Why pay 200 crowns for that?

    And since I already have all motifs on one of my characters, I don't need to buy it.

    ZOS wants to make money, then put something exclusive in the store.

    Only the rare ones and only if I absolutely can't find them for myself. I really enjoy thieving, and hoping one might pop up - I stole an imperial motif last week, so it is possible. I quite enjoy the hunt for them in game.

    Yes, I might buy them. I have to spend my crowns for something before my character gets copied. So as I can't save them for the DLCs, I will spend them on the most useful thing available in the store. And that would be the motifs, not some mounts, pets or costume ...

    I will never spend any real life money in the crown store. If I play the game long enough and save up a bunch of crowns that I won't use, it's possible I might purchase a motif if one comes out that I don't have. I already sub, they don't need more money from me.

    ^ This.

    I don't plan on doing so.

    But if I see some armour/clothing that I like and I need to buy a Motif to get it I might just do so (I'm a bit on impulse buyer, especially with things like Crowns awarded because I have a Sub).

    But I won't be spending real money on extra Crowns, if I can't afford it with my "free" Crowns then I'll go without.

  • shane.roberts25b14_ESO
    My vote is, as the motif situation stands, no. However, this is only because I already have every available motif in game currently unlocked on my crafter. If new styles were to be added, it is a firm maybe ;)

    I play since early access and have never ever found any rare motif. Got all my crowns still so yeah I would buy them. Finally some usefull items in the crown store which are not P2W and cosmetic only.

    I voted "No" because the only ones I'm interested in are the rares and those are very pricy in thye shop.
    I prefer keeping Eso plus and use only the monthly crown allotment I receive instead of buying more crowns. By now. I'm buying motifs with ingame gold.

    Definitely not. I already have every motif as I have spent a huge amount of time over the past year searching for them all. I am actually really unhappy that after all of that time and effort, the racial motifs can now just be bought from the crown store. I feel I have wasted all of that time for nothing... :(

    2. I do not want to support this decision made by Zenimax. Best way to show my desaproval of the system is to not use it.

    I won't now since I already have all of them. I might if there are new ones in the future. I don't really mind either way, I work 40-60 hours a week for $. Might as well spend some of that so I don't have to do the boring stuffs in my free time.

    I can see why they did it and I'm OK with it, it will still be the same to get it in game and it's expensive enough that people who have time to farm it probably won't buy for $. But good for those who don't spend 26/7 in game and still want a specific style.

    Why are people opposed to something that offers others options?

    It's a lot of elitist against the crown store. A lot of elitist for the prior sub and against removing the sub....

    It's time for me to move to console

    Oh, Smurfy, don't go!

    It's really not like that. Plus plenty of us would miss you and you contributions to this forum...well...I would certainly.

    Stuff like this should be for sale. Plus it makes sense that they'd offer for sale first those things:

    1. They have already and...

    2. Don't require a lot of implementation work, unlike Race Change Tokens or Scrolls, makeover scrolls, character slots...things that require you to edit the core character data file and change their account data files.

    Again, personally my concern is strictly price and its effect on building the community.

    The basic blue motifs are going from 50-200 gold now. If a new player buys them for high RM prices, albeit through virtual currency, only to find that they're available in game for a few minutes worth of corpse loot, how relationship building would that be?

    It's quite the opposite of elitism actually.

    ZOS is learning as they go. Remember they have no experience in this. Topics like this reveal the mixed concerns that need to go into their calculations and may help inform them as they build this part of their business.
