If we must wait for things like the 'Imperial Infilitration' quest to be fixed, please provide consider providing us with a 'pause subscription' feature that allows us to freeze our subscription status until the next patch is applied, so that we are not paying to wait.

    A very reasonable request, it won't get actioned of course but I know you don't expect it to. ;)

    Yeah, if we could just pause our gametime.. that would be great.

    could be easily solved by making it possible to only pause sub like 1 time every month, or whatever is a suitable amount.

    That will still get abuse, for example, I have no issues but I can pause my game sub every month at will, so I do it, 1 week every month, so I get 12 free weeks every year. So roughly 3 free months, yeah that's not abuse.....

    Also, having only mods be able to do it for you, for example, ZOS won't do that either, as they will need a dedicated staff just to turn accounts on and off and will cost even more money.

    This idea won't work because it can be exploited, if you want to pause your account, hit cancel and pay later when you think is good to play again, there is your pause button.

    If you have 1 month sub and you let it expire, the sub is essentially paused until you pay for more gametime.

    It's not exactly what you wanted but the next closest thing.

    With all the error 301 issues that people are having, this would be nice to have.

    I think there is some misunderstanding on my proposed 'pause' functionality'. The pause feature would lock the paused user out of the game until the user elects to 'unpause' the account. Thus, there would be no free time.

    We pay every month for 30 day blocks of time, so I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask to 'stop the clock' while the game is not playable, so we aren't being billed for a service we can't use.
