During the stream did Paul Sage say ZOS will be selling some of the seasonal gear? God I hope there is no cash shop.

    No, not a cash shop item. They'll release new gear every few months so that people have new gear to collect.

    Not so much a cash shop as it is a compile of marketing strategies.

    He said something about "we" assuming ZOS, will be selling gear as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Vendors selling the previous gear so that it's easily available so that you don't have players falling behind in the gear race. New season of gear is rare, previous season of gear is plentiful.

    That's what they released with imperial edition though, 20 for horse and 10 more for mara rings and imperial race. Simple market strat. not a cash shop.

    I can't help but feel like the gaming community as a whole has let this problem come upon itself. Instead of adding that value to the price of your subscription, they need more more more.

    They'll beat that horse until it stops spitting money, no pun intended.

    Can't imagine them adding anymore unless expansion.

    Over time theyre gonna add more and more stuff until you cant remember it being any different. They're selling fluff today. It's like cooking lobsters. You turn up the heat until youre boiling them. The trick is to do it so slow no one notices. Kind of like your rights if you're an American. things your great grandpa would kill over. You throw to the government over lining up in a politically correct fashion.

    Today game shops have fluff. Tomorrow you wont be able to play without purchasing from them. Corporations are like rot. It happens gradually but it happens. They understand one thing. That's 2 for 1. For every gamer that's old and been in every game. We are reproducing at a rate that provides more new players than it does old 2 new enter and 1 old leaves.. Convincing the noob is kind of liking popping on a hooker. You don't know whats good. You know whats first and then spend the rest of your life thinking its the way it should be unless you find something good to rebase your opinion on. These companies are well aware of the human condition and rely on selling 2 new gamers rather than catering to the 1 old fuddy duddy ranting for how he liked it.. Mmos have been corporatized. it's definitely more profitable to convince the 2 new gamers that this is the way it is. Rather than waste money keeping the 1 old gamer around. F him. It was good while it lasted.

    No...that's really not how a cash shop works my friend.

    The imperial edition was an upgrade to the regular edition, similar to how most digital collectors are, The horse was there for those who just wanted the horse and nothing else.

    It's about choice. There's no choice in this type of time limited exclusive content.

    Hey guys. Jessica Folsom from ZOS confirmed in the twitch stream that the items for sale in season sets was with IN GAME currency.

    NOT real life money.
