Akaviri Motif for Crown Shop

Still waiting.
Anyone posting, remain civil. I know a lot of you want it to remain only available from AP, but fairness dictates that since every other motif prior went into the crown shop, Akaviri and subsequent motifs should as well.

✭✭✭✭I am ok with it going crown store, but so that the AP versions maintain value it should be the most expensive one in the store. so maybe 6=7k crowns.0 -
WhiteNoiseMaker✭✭✭✭That still asking for special treatment. All motif precedents prior to this point have still been incredibly expensive at 5000 crowns, and I don't think Akaviri should be priced any higher than that. There will still be people who prefer to purchase their missing motifs with in-game gold, and the AP farming will not be too negatively impacted I suspect. Maybe the prices will finally settle into a more reasonable range, once people have options they can choose from.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭aren't they pretty far behind on motifs in the store? It's odd the way they release them in game too.
Thieves guild should have been released with that dlc

No.
This is literally the only thing I can do with my millions of AP is sell these motifs.0 -
Van_0S✭✭✭✭✭Best not.
Then there will be no reason to do PvP.
If you love this game then you should experience everything it offers.1 -
Avidspark✭✭✭✭To both above...every other motif went into the crown shop...there's no reason to discriminate with this one.
But thank you for remaining civil

Avidspark✭✭✭✭No to both of you, fairness has everything to do with it. Every other motif went to crown shop, there is no reason Akaviri shouldn't too.
Or every other motif should not have gone to crown shop. But, guess what, they did.'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

Not Every Motif has made its way into the crown store. Not including recent dlc. Which I'm pretty sure Akaviri has been around longer than Ancient Orc, which has made its way into the crown store, I farmed and bought all of the Akaviri and ancient orc. The in game way.
I don't pvp, I built alts for pvp because I wanted akaviri motifs, I EARNED it, the old fashion way.
It took a long time. But that's why I like MMOs because in life, all we have is time. I'm a goal driven individual, I suffered through the mess that is ESO pvp to get my most prized thing I have in this game, which is my Akaviri armor.
*PLEASE ESO DONT ADD THIS MOTIF TO THE CROWN STORE*2 -
Marque✭✭I don't see any reason it shouldn't be in the crown store, I wouldn't purchase it there however it is purely cosmetic after all, is it not?2

It's a fairness issue. Once they started putting some motifs in the shop, they needed to put all motifs in the shop. It's the only fair way now.

Avidspark✭✭✭✭Oh I see...elitist, okay I get it.
Not a fan, but w/e, do your thing. I'm more egalitarian in outlook, so i feel if one hard-to-get/expensive motif was put there, all should be.'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

It's perfectly valid, as every other motif prior (including expensive/hard to gather ones) were placed into crown shop. If this isn't obvious to you, well, that's not my issue...it's yours.

✭✭I agree that it should be for sale in the Crown Store, since glass was put up for sale, and not long after it was introduced to the game. And, too be honest, earning glass the in-game way is much more time-consuming, as there is a LOT of RNG involved.
The problem with Akaviri is that the only way to earn it is by spending MILLIONS of AP, which then means that people who have extra AP and want to make some gold, put up the pages for sale at insane prices. Those that have posted here saying that you should EARN it by PVPing probably don't have any problem with someone buying it from another player - they haven't really earned it then, either, but who cares, since the PVPers get insane amounts of gold from it.
The real reason they don't want it in the store is not from some sense of accomplishment being taken from them, but because they won't be able to hold non-PVPers over a barrel. They won't be able to make insane amounts of gold. To be fair, though, if they offer it for sale in the Crown Store, then they should lower the AP price on them - although, I guess that wouldn't be fair 'cuz then new PVPers would be able to purchase for much less AP. What about, once you've learned a page, then the AP cost of future pages is lower, so that they could still sell them, but at prices that would entice more players to buy from the guild store rather than the Crown Store?
Also, for the record, I've been purchasing the Akaviri pages from other players - I have only ONE more page to go: AXES, which nobody seems to want to sell. I started seriously looking at the prices of Akaviri pages and then decided that I had enough gold to be able to buy it, and support other players. I shopped around, and managed to average $50K per page. I found some much cheaper, so I was willing to go higher on some others. Hopefully, someone on XB will put up Axes for sale.2 -

You say you got your Akaviri the hard way...fine. I got my Glass that way too...then ZOS turned around and put it in the shop...so why should any of us who did so get the shaft, while Akaviri 'earners' didn't/don't?
They introduced Glass, and like two weeks later they added it to the crown store. No one was able to complete the glass motif in that amount of time, (unless they somehow got the gold book)
So your willing to do those endless writs, but not invest in a pvp character to earn this motif you desire? And honestly I can make 100k ap a day, playing my healer.
[Added] And what the post above says, I also bought my Akaviri sword motif for 50k.
Shop around. :P

I think that people were able to save up writ reward containers and then open them after glass was introduced for a chance at the glass pages. So, technically not impossible, though I would imagine that would have been a LOT of writ containers, plus, with all the duplicates, a LOT of trading. But it still may have been possible.

Paazhahdrimaak✭✭✭✭✭@Jayne_Doe
Good point, I remember that it's possible that way, I was stoked for the release of glass, but didn't plan ahead in that way.
I just meant the general population of the game. And I would say most of them didn't know it was coming, unlike I'm sure a good amount of us on here we know what's coming before it's implemented.0 -
Avidspark✭✭✭✭As Jayne said, it was indeed possible to know the entire motif prior to shop introduction.
It's about being fair. They introduced EVERY OTHER MOTIF PRIOR to the shop Paaz...to stop now is unfair.
That is all, in a nutshell.'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

Do you know how long it takes to earn Millions of AP? It takes quite a long time. The value of the motif is usually determined by the investment it takes to get it. Now I agree with you that the price is insane. But not the gold price. The AP price is insane.1
