I agree with you both...but please justify why this playable race motif, even to those who need instant gratification or gold to burn, is worth so much? This is a game item, not art hehehe. Comparing art with this particular motif is not the best analogy, in my opinion.

Is the Imperial Motif really worth 125k? I understand that it is considered a very rare drop, but is it truly worth all that gold?
Please consider the following before responding to this post:
**The MAJORITY of players upgraded to the Imperial Edition giving them access to convert most items to Imperial Style--free, but makes items bound to their account.
**In addition, the MAJORITY of players with upgrade can make an Imperial toon and CRAFT Imperial style armor----TO SELL TO OTHER PLAYERS.
**If a player only has the standard edition, they could easily ask a buddy/guildmate/zone to CRAFT that style of armor (since bulk of players have imperial edition), thus avoiding the need to spend 125k gold for motif.
I would appreciate feedback/responses to justify paying that much gold.
Thank you!

(Please respond to this question without stating the obvious: item worth is subjective to player, people have gold to burn, etc. This thread is to discuss/share opinions about this particular item.)

Depends I suppose.
I think everyday I play I see somebody trying to sell the rarer 11 - 14 motifs. As for the bottom 9 ... they are so common you almost can't even give them away.
As for Imperial ...
It has been a couple of weeks since I have seen anybody try to sell one. It is very rare indeed that I do see one up for grabs.

It's idiotic for Imperial to be the rarest motif, and you and I both know that the only reason it's that rare is to direct more players into buying the Imperial Edition.
I personally see this as perhaps the single sleaziest decision ZOS has made. And this nonsense is a repugnant side-effect of that sleazy decision.

Ok, I'm going to give you a big boy answer.
Items in game (and in real life) are worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. Period. It's not rocket science.
If your assumption, that most everybody owns the Imperial Edition, was true I doubt that motif would be selling for so much.
Here is food for thought:
The game has been out for 3ish months now. A lot of people who signed on in April with their Imperial Editions have quit. I guarantee you that there is a sizable segment of the community who does not have access to the Imperial line... People *ahem kids and unemployed adults* who have a lot of gold *ahem time* on their hands. If you have 100s of thousands of gold in your account it isn't a big deal to drop 60k ish on the Imperial Motif. What the hell else are you going to use all that gold on?
125k does seem steep, I'll give you that, but unless you're whining because you want that motif and don't have the Imperial Edition then why do you care??
It's worth what people will pay for it. Asking price is *not* the same as selling price.Scarletblaze wrote: »Is the Imperial Motif really worth 125k?

Also, this is not a whining post; simply soliciting my fellow adventurers as to why this particular item is being sold/bought for an outrageous price.
If you refer to original post (the part of post you omitted) you will understand why I posed that question. I don't want/need motif since I can already craft this armor type with my own Imperial toon and sell it for profit.

Zenimax forgot to mention that you can only craft Imperial Gear (not bound) if you play Imperial
so .... everyone with even IE needs that motive if he plays "what he wants" like me
Hello, friends.
I just want to say if I get Imperial motif, I'm gonna sell it for an extremely high price. Maybe 100K, but when you're talking selling a gold colored item, you're talking some big bucks here.
Why do you think the purple ones are selling for 20K or even 25K? Rarity has a direct impact on the price of an item. If it's Gold, expect a fortune in your future. If it's purple, still a small fortune. Blue, maybe not as big of a profit, but some serious coin still, especially for low level players.
Goodbye.
Signed,

P.S. I understand you can buy Imperial Edition, but it costs $20 extra. This one will not pay $20, even if his highness, Arena25, thinks its a good idea.

With all of the Imperial white horses running around (they can craft on an imperial character), why not ask in guild/zone/buddy to craft you a set? Would be much cheaper than shelling out so much gold....for a PLAYABLE RACE armor style =P

no they cant
imperial horse is not race bound
imperial crafting IS bound to play imperial as a race
made serveral tickets ... never got a response ... just false advertising

Okay, the white horses running around indicates that player as an owner of IE giving them access to create an imperial character in which to craft imperial armor without a motif. If you do not have IE, why spend a ton of gold on that motif, rare or not, when you can ask someone to craft it free?

remember you have to level crafting and traits on THAT CHAR
(about 100 skillpoints for a full craft and 300 Days for traits)
