Would you pay 2,000 Crowns for a race change?

People like money, and we all know corporations are technically people according to the laws of good old USA, so therefore ZOS must like money too. There has been endless debate about whether race change should be included and I have no desire to go down that path again. I just want the people who would spend 2,000 Crowns for a race change to make their voices heard with a poll which will show ZOS how much money they are missing out on at this moment. I ask that you do not get fixated on price (2,000 crowns = 20 dollars, right? It would most likely be anywhere from 10-25$ in cold hard cash IMO) and instead vote yay or nay based on whether you would buy the option.

    People throw a fit about a 15 dollar subscription but are willing to pay 20 dollars to change one characters race.

    Mind blown.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    I would prefer a bit less plus a restriction on how often one can change the race for each individual character.

    2k would be to much but I am willing to pay something for it, so I can not choose any of your options.

    I'd probably stick to Imperial because of the racial passives and what not, but if min-max wasn't a concern this one would most likely pay 2k Crowns to change to say, a khajit.

    A lot of people, like myself, only care about or play one character for years and years. And personally I've been subscribed non-stop since launch even though I didn't even play each month. It's always good to have options.

    Once I've created a character his race and class are fixed, I have no desire to change them, under any circumstances. If he became unplayable because of e.g. changes to his racial passives (and that simply wouldn't happen given my approach to the game, I'd simply adapt and carry on) then I'd re-roll him.

    ZOS could be 600$ richer right now. With a 50/50 split on this here yay/nay poll, I think ZOS can safely assume that a very large total portion of the community would pony up some Crowns for a race change. In fact, I'd bet many people would purchase 2-3 race changes in total. I'm not sure why ZOS hasn't already included race change in the crown store... it is as if they want people to waste all their free Crowns from prior sub time and future already subbed time on vanity stuff so that it is additional incoming cash flow when Race Change hits the Crown Store.

    I don't like the poll options. A simple Yes/No would suffice.

    You're trying to bias the results.

    I would pay for race changes, but I wouldn't pay twenty dollars for it.

    Yes perhaps I should change them. I did put in the poll description to not get caught up on the amount. I think at a minimum, ZOS would offer this to us for 10$. I mainly wanted an amount attached to the poll because I wanted to monetarily express how much money ZOS is missing out on.

    I feel changing your race would be going a bit too far. If you can change your race, why not change your class while you're at it? Ultimately what would your character even be, just a collection of achievements?

    I've stated my opinion against it several times already but since this is the first thread approaching a different possibility (crown store), I'll agree this time.

    I think Race change should cost 10,000 crowns 'cause if we're allowing this crap, at least it should greatly boost ZOS income.

    Well personally I feel that class change should not be allowed as that is basically removes all reason to replay the game. Class contributes 18 active skills and 12 passives to your overall character. Race only contributes 3 passives (no need to include the skill line xp boost passive). Saying that if we allow Race changes we might as well Class changes too is a gigantic leap IMO.
