how do you guys justify paying $15 a month?

Katniss_Everlark✭✭✭It's cheaper than going out to the movies or going out to dinner in NYC so I can justify it. $15 a month for a game isn't bad at all, as long as the game doesn't go to free to play a.k.a pay to win then I can always justify paying $15 a month for a game. SWTOR went free to play & it ruined the game in my opinion. If you wanted all the cool wanted all the cool looking gear outfits you had to use cartel coins to buy packs & maybe get the gear pieces you want. Along with speeders, weapons, emotes, special holiday items. $15 a month is fine by me.Edited by Katniss_Everlark on June 24, 2014 6:18PMLegendary Legion

Lol did they really tell you you couldn't say "can I have your stuff?" Telling a bunch of gamers they can't do that or post goodbye threads is like telling water it's not allowed to be wet.2 -

And why do I need to justify anything? I'm not a child--I pay because I want to play, I'll stop when I don't.

Jamesd1350Soul ShrivenIf you can't "justify" it then go play some generic F2P model. You want more content to play in but can't justify paying a subscription. "We can let the devs makes amazing content and continue to pour time and money into the server security and stability off just what we paid for the game." Go play Guild Wars and leave us adults here to enjoy something that is blossoming into a very well-made game. The game is two, almost three, months old and you are bitching because you've rushed to endgame and now you have nothing else to entertain you? Why not pace yourself and enjoy the game for it's entirety like an ELDER SCROLLS game is supposed to be played. Did you play your Skyrim and rush to beat the game?
God, you entitled little pricks.5 -

On PS2 with maxed graphics i never have less than 45 fps, but its usually stable at 60fps. This is with dozens and dozens of characters on screen.
My ping is 40ms.
On ESO with the same machine im down to 15 fps when more than 50 players are around.
Lets not speak about my ping and the lag, it would be like shooting on the red cross.

✭Personally its something my husband and I do together, so its cheaper than 1 single date night.
$15.00 bucks is also worth keeping the trolling to a minimum in game in compare to the forum and FB page
If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!3 -

Sindala✭✭✭✭✭I have 4 recurring subs going out each month.
Istaria, EVE, Ultima Online and ESO.
3 of them have been paid each month for the last decade and 1 is nearly at 2 decades.
That's a lot of cash spent in my gaming history but probably saved my liver on more times than i'd like to think about in the early days
I'd like to cancel my UO one as I don't even play anymore but after 17 years I just cant bring myself to push the 'cancel' button. I got history in that game.

Exactly! If paying $15 a month keeps the "Give me everything but I don't want to work for it" kids out of the damn game, I'm on that band wagon. I personally love this game. I think it's well-made. Sure there are some flaws here and there, but lets look at any other MMO in it's first year of launch.1 -

You reference Planetside 2 on the PS2 then say "on ESO with the same machine"
I'm not even aware of a Playstation beta for ESO at this time.
Or are you playing Planetside 2 on a PC also?

✭The Game is fun to play. I like trying new builds. I delete characters I don't identify with and re-roll. Trying out different combinations is fun, challenging and rewarding. It's all about value. The story is great. The voice acting is good some of it great some of it funny some of it bad. The environments are well executed. The music is awesome. The action is fun. PvP is fantastic. What's not to like about Giant interactive tower defense game? (I personally would like to see more organic openworld pvp but I can't have everything.) Besides, the Devs are actually fixing bugs, working out imbalances and introducing new content and features. They get a thumbs up from me.0 -
the same way i justify spending anything... either i want it or i don't. to be fair, i've often asked the same of friends who spend every night at the pub and then complain for days how they feel. they spend on ciggies, and beer more than i'll spend on games in a LIFETIME. so... there you go. peace1 -
Exarch✭✭✭It costs me $15 to go see a movie, or have a couple of pints (and they're not even real pints); I get easily more than 2 hours worth of entertainment out of ESO each month.1 -
Ragekniv✭✭✭Been holding out hope that Zenimax was going to take seriously the plight of Templars.
Beta and four months subscription revenue should result in sustained dps and resource mechanic balance for all classes.
Templars are still the only class without a resource mechanic and this patch is a joke holding no hope of equalizing sustained DPS to OP DK and Sorcs level.
I'm running out of reasons to continue contributing to Zenimax's investor return while having had to play a broken class since Beta.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I play a lot, do PvP, like redoing dungeons with friends as well, have a couple alts on top of it. I probably get my month's money worth in less than a week of playtime. Other than that, I just eat one or two less fast food meals a month and it pays for itself and I'm healthier. No, just kidding, I still eat the crappy food.-- @xaraan --

someuser✭✭✭✭Here is a better question for the OP:
How does Comcast justify billing my wife and I $300 a month for their crappy service?
How come even though the ammo shortage is over, I can't find a 50 count of 9mm for $13 like I use to (except at wally world)??
Why does AT&T charge me almost $200 a month for my family plan when half the time my calls fade in and out and drops constantly even though I'm near a tower???
So many question and so little time... ESO $15 bucks a month is the least of my concerns.To make ESO look and feel like a PC MMO check out the following:

(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?
It's pretty simple.- Does this game provide me with entertainment and enjoyment? Yes.
- Does this game give me isolated pockets of pure joy, which is priceless? Yes.
- Am I having fun? Yes
- Is the amount of enjoyment I'm getting worth $15 a month for as many hours as I can cram in, compared to, say, two 2-hour movie a month, or one movie and popcorn? Yes.
- Can I justify to myself the $15 per month expenditure in exchange for the amount of entertainment I'm getting? Yes.

It is as some of the people posted previously. No need to justify to anybody how you spend your hard earned money.1 -
Areoth✭✭Since I am paying $15/month my wife would be horribly upset if I did not play it often enough to justify paying $15/month.
Seriously though, I like the game so for me it is worth the subscription.1
