Just make the game accessible only for ESO+ subscribers for a few days.

Its fair. Many other MMO's that are F2P/B2P offer queue jumps for subscribers.

No. Just because I don't sub, does not mean I haven't paid money to get the base game or subsequent releases. I too deserve to play. This idea is in fact not fair.

Brilliant.

Yes, there seems to be a rather troubling surge in that very sentiment here on the forums lately. That somehow you're just "better" because you fork over money every month and therefore deserve extra special treatment far beyond what it currently gets you.

Oh how I miss the days when it was worth it for the crafting bag alone.

this kind of thinking fascinates me. so lets say someone preordered greymoor, but they are NOT an active subscriber. they should lose acess to content they paid full price in advance for? you know for a few days? someone not paying for ESO plus is STILL a paying customer. there should be no special treatement.

that said, they are taking down the game to fix it in a few hours. a little bit of patience will do you good. fixing this stuff is not exactly easy and fast when all of your workers are spread out and passing along information is a much more arduous process.

So people who paid for the game+chapters+multiple dlc not to mention crowns spent on housing, crown crates etc but who do not pay to have eso+ should be completly locked out of the game....... That does not seem fair

Pinja

You really want to pay them for and incentivize this que bull [snip]? That's masochistic...

Ri_Khan

I didn't even want to play tonight but hopped on the queue after I saw this thread

You know, a much less disgusting way of going about this would be to simply ask for subs to have a couple days early access to the new content instead. I guess it's just easier to blame your problems on those that have nothing to do with the cause.

Pathetic.

For the amount of money wasted on ESO+ that couldn't be played...one day...you could buy Sally Struthers a donut. A very small donut.

There's a difference between a queue jump, and not allowing players that aren't ESO+ to play, which is what the OP wants.

TempPlayer

Wishful thinking but it is not how it works. Once you subscribe to a service, there is no reason for a company to pay any extra effect in serving you cause you money is already down the hole. That is why phone carrier try to attract you with nice deal and everything, but once you sign up and paid, they can care less of shxt with your problem.

I would be fine with sub model if this game was a sub game. Like performing like a sub game, with paid content updates being properly substantial for the price and without the freemium mobile monetization slapped on top of buying and subbing the game.

shaielzafine

Yes they should make an ESO+ exclusive for dibs to get in

Coggo

As indictments of consumer culture go demanding ESO+ players get preference over non subscribers takes the biscuit.

Let's not turn on ourselves here or look down our noses at non eso+ players plus as if they deserve to suffer.

Keep the focus and pressure on ZOS and their willfulness in allowing the game's performance to degrade each patch whilst knowingly churning out new shiny product.

Get out there and write Steam/Reddit reviews etc warning new players. Just don't turn on each other

Clutch

It would have made more sense to give a headstart to said players but the damage is done, wait in line like everybody else I guess.

FatFred

I am not sub anymore because zos didn't respect paid players

Hand_Bacon

So people are complaining today that they aren't getting what they pay for, due to release issues.

So now, many of these same people, want something entirely different than what they are paying for, regardless of issues.

Dominicano_FleddyFlu

Well, the game is not going to be playable for a few days.
Hope they give us some crowns or something for all this trouble

Yes, it is fair, because we paid for the same things that u paid. and moreover we pay a subscription.
It's not that hard to understand. This game run on money not our goodwill. Who pays more must be treated better (at least just a little bit, Im not saying free loaders are garbage. But the fact one paid what? 30$ 2 years ago and played 2500 hours since then doesnt make him exactly a supporter, does it?)

Daemons_Bane

Absolutely not, and yes I am a subscriber..

gatekeeper13

Being an ESO+ subscriber doesnt give you any priority access to the game against other players. Only bonuses like inventory space, bank space, unlocked content etc etc. That's what you pay your subscription for.

You ve mixed things up a little bit.

I cant imagine that this would be legal in any country

Spartycuss

nobody forced you to pay 15 extra dollars a month, and no you shouldn't get priority or exclusive rights to the game as that isn't part of an eso plus membership. It tells you what you get for your membership, this isn't one of them LUL. Enjoy that crafting bag tho

Ganj

Totally! Also ESO plus members should have X2 health bars in PvP and PvE. Also crown store should sell nonmembers as slaves of new chapters so we can buy them! We are paying so we must be really ahead
In fact lets not die in PvP if ESO plus membership is active. Would be nice against who is not a REAL member yeey..

Bucky_13

Nope. That's kind of stupidity was one of the reasons why SWTOR lost so many players. When most of my friends who couldn't afford to sub got locked out of content I stopped paying for the game and eventually left for ESO.

Same thing here, some of my guildies & friends are ftp, if I can't play with them then I also get punished despite having ESO+.

I don’t feel like the ESO+ membership I paid for is being treated fairly either. I’m not sure if completely blocking non-plus is the answer.
 But without a doubt, ESO+ members should be moved in front of non-plus members for the log in queue.

NO and NO are the simple answers. If you have bought any DLC or Expansion you are entitled to play, Just because some of us have ESO+ does NOT make us special in any way, shape or form.

marc.whiffenb16_ESO

ESO+ since I started playing.

No. This is not a good idea at all. Everyone paid money for the game. We just bought some benefits we can use while IN the game. It doesn't grant us exclusivity to play the game

I missed the part where being a "supporter" means you bought preferential login access.

*checks ESO+ benefits*

Hmm, I don't see it.

How much extra would you like to pay for that additional benefit?
