how do you guys justify paying $15 a month?

rotatorkuf

not trying to troll or anything

but game has almost a criminally low amount of actual endgame content at vr12

(not counting the endless zerg pvp i suppose)

sure $15 isn't much to the majority of us

but, other than paying to beta test for consoles

how do you guys justify it?

Good game. cheap entertainment. And since my toons are only at V6 there's still plenty to do.

RazielSR

At the moment, I can't justify it. We are talking about 12€ in my case, that's a misery. But to be honest with my mind...I can't pay for this anymore.

Infraction

This thread is going places.

If you cant justify it why stay subbed?

Well i was thinking i could afford a cute dragon skin cover for my lance , or i could buy a month of game time. So i went with a month of game time.

Hilgara

Simple. I'm not exploiting to VR12. I'm playing the game I pay for instead of paying for it then not playing all of it......then complain that there's no content.

This. 1000%

50 cents a day. Thats less than a game of pinball.

Vet 12? What is it? With my speed of progression still vet 4. /Played around 20 days

TaffyIX

Ah yes... The classic "I'm not trying to troll or anything but..."

If you are bored or not having fun, don't sub... Simple

rotatorkuf

so basically, the vet grind is worth $15 to a lot of you lol, dat content i suppose

I guess some will say we are paying for continued dev and fixes.
It certainly is the new norm these days.
Perhaps ZoS should have labeled the game, early access RPG with multilayer capabilities.

I personally gave them one month after my free one.
I plaid the night blade to about level 33, the game became increasingly difficult and I min maxed him till I was broke.

I found myself camping anchors and rare spawns to try to gear up. To this day I log in to level my horse and log out. Not sure how I messed up my night blade so bad =(

Exploiters are always the loudest complainers.

sigh, just asking a simple question

if you can't answer it legitimately, then don't read

Renuo

Oh yeah I remember having this conversation a few minutes ago... with you in guild chat.
Love the "not trying to troll... but!"

Rylana

I can sure as heck play ESO a lot longer than the aforementioned game of pinball at the arcade >_>

I didn't rush or abuse my way to VR12 so that's a non-issue for me for some time to come. Even IF I get one character to VR12 there'll be at least 3 more to do, by which time I'm sure there'll be more content I've not played.

I don't need to justify it, I currently play 8 MMOs during a typical week and subscribe to 5 of them,. I don't think about the money, it's a hobby and as long as I get enjoyment I'll carry on paying.

AtheWunder

Hilgara nailed it. This is a very fun game if you play it as intended and actually do the quests in all 3 factions. Plus its only going to continue to get better, more polished and more content added.

And $15 a month? I spend more than that at taco bell for me wife and kid, and dont think twice about it. Why all the gripe over it. You want to play a great game ya gotta pay for it. If they told you now that you dont have to pay $15 a month, it would not fix your supposed problem of no content at v12.

Good point, if only we had some dungeons we could mindless run over and over again for shiny tokens we could turn in for shiny equipment, or maybe hundreds of repeatable quest to do over and over, maybe some rep to grind, dat content i suppose.

Rylana

This thread is now about pinball.

everything you mentioned as a plus, is single player content, just saying...

not griping over it, curious, read OP

kewl

I'm having fun.

Vis

I PVP more than 60 hours a month. At 25¢ an hour, it's a deal for me. I paid $12 to see "Edge of Tomorrow" which comes to more than x24 the cost per hour of entertainment.

rotatorkuf

i have "fun" just logging in and crafting/trading

but as it stands, i'm unsubbed (ohnoes he said the U word)

only because there's almost nothing to do, and i'm not interested in zerg pvp

Crumpy

There is no justification for a subsciption-fee for this substandard product that was released too early and seems to still be in the testing stage.

Bare minimum, I pay $15 dollars to watch other players run by me as I solo quest. Well worth the price to make my world feel more alive. Seriously though, get a job.

how do you guys justify it?

Can I have your stuff?

Swordguy

How does anyone justify spending money on anything that is a luxury? I can spend more than 15 dollars in a single 2 hour visit to the movie theater, or buy coffee at starve bucks every day of the week.

If someone has to justify spending money on a luxury, they probably can't afford it to begin with.

Laura

how do you justify asking others about how or why they spend there money?
