@jaschacasadiob16_ESO This was the Cyrod Patrician Formal Gown, and was retired from the Crown Store on all platforms on June 3. It may return in the Crown Crates one day.
I have been working in the game industry. These in-game app are based on the concept of impulse purchase. Being limited in time gives them a huge value. The crates... the trick is this: once you get a user to purchase one, they will buy more. It is just a matter of getting him to make the purchase once.@ZOS, BRING BACK items at times in the store.
Your marketing department need to wake up and analyze, other than the profit from limited time items, the loss!
Limited time items strategy surely bring income, what you seem unable to CONSIDER is the loss.
Your marketing people, they should know better than me that more important of what give profit, is what do NOT return profit!
There are many users who won't spend a dime on crates whatever you like to present them and put into them, you are NOT profiting from this kind of users at all, there a LOT of costumes we would buy if they were available but you turn down our money.
Too much people asking for a comeback of mounts, costumes, accessories, whatever you liked to retire because of INCOMPETENCE, this is the only word to define such strategy with no comeback in the store!
I would take the time to calculate how much you are losing from me (if that would be of use, but it won't since you seem to not care so much) then multiply that loss for a great number of users and you should feel ashamed of your marketing strategy.

Anyone in the data department of the game industry can confirm you that.

The above statement is incorrect. Zos had plenty of industry data...
Zos is not the Gordon Gekko of the game studios as some delusional fans like to think they are, they are doing very quetionable-to-utterly wrong decisions in pretty much all departments, from gameplay (not even being able to separate development and fixes of pve and pvp skills pissing off too much people), to advertising, to housing, to the Crown Store management as in this case of limited time items with no comeback.
Forum is filled with no crates-addicted begging for items to temporary return and all those people is cash they are turning down.

That's quite correct since I know how much I would spend if old costumes and accessories were available, then I could multiply that number for the number of users complaining about the same thing plus expensive mounts (in which personally I'm not so interested, I prefer other items) and the total it's not the kind of money they should turn down, not in the slightest.
I truly hope they have some ability to analyze "industry data", sometimes I highly doubt they even have some kind of quality assurance above all.
At any rate a good company look for customers feedback and I gave mine to them.
The resume is pretty much this I wrote above:Zos is not the Gordon Gekko of the game studios as some delusional fans like to think they are, they are doing very quetionable-to-utterly wrong decisions in pretty much all departments, from gameplay (not even being able to separate development and fixes of pve and pvp skills pissing off too much people), to advertising, to housing, to the Crown Store management as in this case of limited time items with no comeback.

You are very confident ZOS is doing the greatest job with all their "industry data", making the right decisions, I'm not.
It's plenty of companies that make wrong decisions, that's what marketing analysts are for, now I doubt they have a good Quality Assurance since all the mess in this game, why would I think they have good Marketing Analysts?
Zos, read users feedback at least.
The "data" thing was bought by another user I was replying, while his confidence in ZOS marketing analysts and strategies overall seems great, mine is very low, that's pretty much all.DaveMoeDee wrote: »Giles.floydub17_ESO wrote: »@ZOS, BRING BACK items at times in the store.

We can all give our person perspectives, but that is not data.
For example, if all mounts are in the store at the same time, (1) players are less likely to make impulse buys as they would for limited offers and (2) vanity items would be competing with one another. Instead of thinking "will I regret not having this mount if I don't buy it in this window," players will ask themselves "which mounts do I like the most." That can easily lead to less sales.
Don't think that because we can think of lines of reasoning that support a strategy does not mean that we understand how a particular market works. This is especially true when your motivation is getting the items you want and ZOS motivation is profit margin. Beware of motivated reasoning.
Data tells us that the people investing in the crates is a tiny fraction of the ESO population. Interestingly, that small fraction generates almost all the in-game purchases made with crowns. Some game companies actually assign to items a drop probability that is calculated based on your need of that specific object.Sure, I agree, AND in the meantime they lose money from people who don't buy crates, while the ones who buy crates will continue to buy crates because, as you rightly stated in short, they are addicted.
