Monetization designers, please be careful with sound effects on weapons

The new Time's Herald weapons have a dragon-like sound effect when you unsheathe and toggle bar. You can hear the sound effects yourself by clicking on the items in the crown store.

The problem is anyone not wearing Oakensoul will toggle bar every few seconds to refresh buffs, heal, etc. This is especially true in dungeons, trials, and PvP. It eventually becomes very annoying.

The only way to stop hearing it is to switch outfit styles or turn sound effects down to 0 which is not ideal.

It’s the Coldharbour Recall all over again. This game is slowly turning into an MTX nightmare to rival any Eastern mobile game. I am just waiting for the wings to start coming in any day now… in fact I am surprised they missed the opportunity with these dragon themed crates. /sarcasm

Argh. Coldharbour Recall should have never used the same audio as the Dark Anchors. I can't imagine what they were thinking!

I am pretty sure that ZOS is scraping the bottom of the monetization barrel, at this point. Desperate, I say. Desperate!
