SPECIAL OFFERS
- Any race any alliance bundle - this is fine being in the crown store, but should be half the price. You should get the gold coast experience scrolls & treasure maps at assault & support rank 2. The alliance rider hood should be a cosmetic unlocked at assault & support rank 4. The alliance rider outfit should be a cosmetic unlocked at assault & support rank 6. The alliance war dog should be a cosmetic unlocked at assault & support rank 8. The alliance war horse should be a mount unlocked at assault & support rank 10.
- Starter pack - this can stay as a paid option (500 crowns is reasonable)
- Starter pack adept - crafty lerisa costume should be unlocked after completing the stros m'kai quest line involving/introducing you to craft lerisa. Knight of the flame costume should be unlocked after completing the knights of the flame quest line in stormhaven. Mages guild research robes should be unlocked at rank 5 of the mages guild skill line. White mane horse should be purchasable in the stables.
- Steadfast stablemaster bundle - the whiterun windsteed should be a reward for 100% completing both the rift and eastmarch zones (fishing, quests, all locale points, delves, etc.). All of the furnishings should be random drops in game.
CROWN CRATES
- Don't even get me started here
- 100000% of the crates should be completely abolished and earnable as in-game rewards.
- Radiant apex mounts should be rewards for trifecta dungeon achievements, arena achievements, trial achievements, etc.
- Apex mounts and rewards should be random chance rewards when completing veteran dungeons, trials and arenas. There also needs to be the equivalent for PvP - maybe if they added an actual ranking system like arenas and such, these could be rewards for that. (same for the radiant apex mounts)
- Legendary rewards - higher likelihood of randomly dropping from the above mentioned than the apex stuff. Skins should be tied to achievements alone. All motifs should be tradeable in game and earnable in game; NOT sold on the store to allow for actual prestige.
- XP scrolls, crown potions and poisons should remain
- Research scrolls should remain
- All hairstyles and cosmetics should be able to be earned via zone achievements
- All pets should be able to be earned in group content or random drops off of difficult overland content - BN, harrowstorms, WBs, public dungeon group events, etc.
DLC
- Should remain as is, maybe less expensive though
UPGRADES
- Armory slots - we should have 5 unlocked as a foundation and if we want to purchase more, it should be account-wide
- Assistants - earnable in game as event rewards
- Character slots - this should be free
- Classes - leave as is
- Collector's packs - leave as is

- Bag space pets - leave as is
- Outfit slots - leave as is
- Riding lessons - take them out and make the mount training normal like every other MMO. Allow us to purchase bulk training with in-game gold; this could be a decent gold sink
- Alliance change token - should be an NPC in game in the capital cities that we can talk to to do this; 3 mo cooldown
- Appearance change token - barbershops/in-game lore equivalent

UTILITY

HOUSES
- There should not be a single house that is over $30. The fact that some notable homes are 10,000+ crowns is unbelievable

- Classic homes should be no more than 2000 crowns ^^^^
