Premium Tamriel Tome (paid)
Grants the ability to unlock the Season’s premium rewards upon purchase.
That line is all that needs being said. It's from the official source scroll down to "opening the page"

"Grants the ability", not unlocks the rewards immediately, simply the ability to get those rewards. You're right, that line is all that needs being said. Pretty clear to me.
You can always tell who don't pay anyrhing, the free players.
And "grants the ability to unlock" if you pay. That's how it sounds meaning if you don't pay you don't get.tthst ability. Padantic and symantics. You are choosing to to read it like a person who doesn't pay.

I have never bought a battle pass before. This is the first and only online game I have ever played. Thanks for the reply.
The wording they used on the official explanation page is that buying premium gives you the option to unlock the premium rewards such as the wolf.
AHH, but as they are taking our money they must be clear. It seems wrong and not very honest. Now I have wasted my money!! This will stop me and my wife buying anything further. All I expect is honesty and a clear upfront explanation of why I am paying and what I am paying for.
This tells us all more about ZOS than anything they actually say. The fact they hid it from us. Not everyone who plays is an expert in coded messages.
Thank you for your reply. Appreciated.
But… they didn’t hide anything from us… they said multiple times how it worked. It’s hardly Zos fault you didn’t understand it properly
Where doe it says that I need to earn 14000 points after PAYING to receive reward. I don't play these games. They have NOT been upfront. They clearly make it seem that if you pay you get the mount. I am looking at a picture they advertised showing the mounts and saying you receive them when buying premium. It doesn't say on this picture "must complete multiple silly challenges and unlock multiple pages of garbage to get the mount.
I am not a gamer like most on here, I don't watch their pointlesss videos and don't read everything they write or post. But I did read one thing that doesn't say I must grind to get the mounts after paying.
Quote straigh fro. UESP
Premium Tamriel Tome (paid)
When purchased, it unlocks the premium rewards for a tome. It also allows you to continue to progress through the tome and purchase rewards from that tome after the season has ended.
While I hope that you will get a refund if you are not satisfied with the purchase, the quote that you provided states "It also allows you to continue to progress through the tome and purchase rewards from that tome after the season has ended".
The word "purchase" in the bolded part implies that you need to do additional work for it (spend something).
Also, could you please provide the wording form the official source that you read. UESP is not that (as pointed out by a poster before me).
Edit: I see that you mentioned the Jan 7th stream. There was a big stream with a lot of info on the topic of Tomes and what to expect. I do not remember when it was but people posted screenshots from it all over the forum (I'm pretty sure that the Jan 7th stream was just a very early information).
Hi,
I am a layman, games wise. But on eldescrollsonline.com tamriel tomes after the title "opening the page"
The very first line reads this
"Premium Tamriel Tome (paid)
Grants the ability to unlock the Season’s premium rewards upon purchase."
To me that sounds like that once I have paid I get the premium rewards which include the dusk and dawn mount.
Maybe others might read that differently but on its own it states that's what I get. So I paid fro that. I didn't get those premium rewards upon purchase because I have to now earn 14000 extra tome points to get to page 10.
Anyway thanks for your insight.
