Trying to be less negative with the PTS drama so decided to post something else. Crown Sale! Did you buy any crowns, and if so, why?
Hoping for more playable races.

I just want werewolf to be viable in endgame PvE T.T (which not allowed according to PTS update 50)

    I bought some crowns in the last sale and recently got a month of ESO+. Between the two I have about 8,000 unspent crowns so I don't need any more now.

    I try to buy a Crown Pack whenever there's a sale on, but it does depend on whether I have the funds for it at that time. I'm not concerned about the health or direction of the game, and any drama which might be going on about that in these forums has no influence on whether or not I buy a Crown Pack. I mean, there's always going to be some kind of drama over some kind of feature or update or announcement or whatever, if only because you can't please everyone all the time.

    Haven’t bought anything because I got a generous refund for my outfit slots. Not terribly eager to get a huge pack of these anyway.

    I renewed my subscription after the new direction was announced. After the first tome came out, that optimism was muted. Will probably get some during the holiday season, depending on how the rest of the year goes.

    I typically only buy them every time they are on sale but for April sale I skip because it's when my Annual subscription gets renewed and I get crowns from that.

    Still, I am on the fence this time because I've spent 4K for the recall and I'm going to spent 5/8K on returning Order of the Lamp and the upcoming season of crates, which will leave me empty.

    I did not buy.

    From 2020-2024 I always spend about 300-400 Euros when crowns got on sale, but I'm not that happy with ESO's direction atm, so I avoid it.

    No, because only the largest packs get a significant discount and I don't need that many.

    I don't usually buy crown packs since the crowns I get from ESO+ are usually enough, and I also do use TCE frequently to buy items with gold via gifting, but I really liked the new house, Buccaneer's Bay, so I got a 5k pack to supplement my ESO+ crowns so that I could afford it.

    The Necromancer class is still heavily mistreated, so I do not feel like placing money in the game these days. Especially when I saw that Necro was going to be refreshed last.

    I did not buy, because I never do. It has nothing to do with my hope or lack of hope for the game. I just don't buy crowns.You really miss that option in the poll as an opposite for "I always do".

    I have bought crowns in the past, but it is more efficient to just sub when needed to support the game.

    I currently am not having that much fun with the builds I play and the last season/chapter left a bad stain on the game. They have been making some decent QoL and talking good game. Until they follow through and improve combat to be more enjoyable and balanced for the average folks, I'll use that money on new games and just remain a casual peasant.

    I am not opposed to the new content release style, I guess we wait and see how polished the Night Market is. How enjoyable it is, and what the future class changes bring. I've never been a DK main, but it wasn't terrible. I just am not a fan of melee combat. The power does seem to match Arcanist at least, the range is just not up to par and the rotation is more complex.

    what kind of a poll is " WHY did you spend real money and How much did you spend ?? "

    That is Nobody's business.

    If someone wants to spend 0 that's their prerogative.

    If someone wants to spend $500 or more, that's their prerogative.

    No one else here is losing money when someone buys crowns.

    Quite frankly, I Don't Care if someone has done better at earning money than I have. It's none of my business and congratulations to them.
