Any educated guesses when would crowns sale happen again? I remember it happening 3 times / year and I remember that august usually had one sale. Anyone?

    No one knows. The traditional Quake Con sale did not happen, but there was no official word if the sales have gone away entirely or it was just that one.

    Someone surely knows but are prohibited to talk about it. If you ask me, they should permanently keep the prices that appear during the crowns sale because those prices are far more reasonable in comparison to current ones. I am sure they would also gain higher profits with lower prices.

    Honestly, I'm not sure the sale prices are reasonable either. Even with the sale a notable house is still like 50 quid. It's just that they are more acceptable than the regular prices in comparison :D

    You are not misremembering. We traditionally got crown sales during Anniversary, Quakecon, and New Life. Quakecon happened during the "Bethesda 40th" stuff, so no crown sale because of that promotion. That mid-year sale will happen if/when it happens. Best advice is to stick the money you were planning to spend during the crown sale onto a debit card of some sort and then break out that card at that time or New Life, whichever happens first. My personal hope is that it happens before 10 September or Jode's Embrace returns to the back burner for another couple or three years.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    My feeling not until after this crown crate event, looking through business eyes, give them a taste of free crates hope they buy more at full price if not then we'll go give them a sale after make money either way, wish they had done it now I might've bought a load for the crown crates since they have 4 over such a short period

    Might be something like that, surely they are running a business so all kinds of business models are in play. I still think that while people are getting a taste of crown boxes via golden pursuit, now would be a great time for crown sale because once you acquire a taste for something...

    I have money that is not an issue, but I am reluctant to pay the amount of euros they are normally asking of these crowns no matter even if I were a billionaire. People should never feed and accept overpricing.

    This may be a test run to see if people keep buying crowns at full price. If so, adios crown sales. That would be sad.

    Yup I don't think they realise folk buy crowns on the cheap while on sale then buy what they want want I think they might lose out because of it, a lot don't buy when it's not a sale

    Sale or not. I'm spending $0 on this game until they can show us they have a plan for the future. They have me on ESO+ until Feb, so I'll also reassess that then, as well. I've played since launch and, sorry, but telling me the "team is the same size as when we did Summerset and Orsinium" means effectively nothing - it is not the same team. Show me what you got, or I'm out.

    I usually buy a lot of crowns when a sale happens. I will often load up on a ton of crowns. otherwise I spend as little as possible. it's an odd choice to not have a sale.
