Crown purchase, the adventure! (An idea)

(I have not sleep yet so it might be fill with weird sentence, I apologize ^^)
So this is it! You decide to purchase this nice new leopard mount into the crown store. Of course like all the purchase you make you already know it will simply appear in your collection and so you decide to press the "U" key to check it out but something seems odd... it is not there? There is no leopard there!
-After a moment to look into your inventory, your collection again, you suddenly realize something else odd just behind all these windows in the background; A Khajiit interrupt you. He seem nervous, always looking around him and shady. He put something in your hand and close your fist then speak something in a language you must admit you are lacking (which remind you that you haven't been to the Mage guild much lately to stimulate your brain with foreign language) and by the time you pounder on these strange words he simply run away...
-Confuse you open your hand and look at what's in it. After closer inspection you find a necklace with a beautiful talisman that seem to have the shape of a leopard with a scrap of parchment. Now it remind you that you still have not receive your awesome mount from the crown store but this is very intriguing and you decide to click the parchment; (because you pass here every day and god knows how many time you did all the quests around here and that was not part of the plan for sure!)
-It is a drawing ... of badly "drawn" daedra shape of werewolf and Hircine hunting a great magnificent leopard creature... you suddenly realize it look quite like the awesome uber cool mount you just bought in the crown store and a "pop" sound from your quest log manifest to inform you that it as been update with what seem to be... well, a quest? You seem to recognize where is the region that Hircine and his werewolf seem to be hunting this leopard and quickly decide to investigate. You pack up your stuff, put your best "uber awesome colourful of your choice gear which for the occasion seems to be fitting that the tones goes with the colours of that new mount you are suppose to get" and hop on your pony to adventure!
-Arriving at the destination you think, it's the place! But... you do not see anyone or anything around. You decide to take another look at the old parchment...! it seems to have change...! And something is written in a language you can actually understand! It say: "Behind...you...". You feel a little nervous about the idea flowing through your head of all these creepy jump scare you see in horror puppet show and imagine Mr. "Creepy"O"gorath Cheese lover Prince" with a creepy smile behind you.
-Slowly you turn and... it's the khajiit! but... he's does not seem himself... you try to touch him but your hand (or paw... or tail... or toe) pass right through him. He seem to speak to you in your mind and you understand what he is saying: "My friend... I need your help... Ursine is hunting, his werewolf are hungry... my friend... need your help... now that I have been... the... the talisman! Will guide you... Open the way... save him..." and he vanish...
-This is where everything becomes clear, you... understand... this purchase you did... it was not just a purchase on the crown store but a goal... a fun and intriguing way to get your reward and this talisman will lead you to your new friend... your new companion for your Tamriel life. An adventure that you will not forget and tales of how you saved it will be sing by bards (unless they keep getting killed in every tavern of Tamriel by "seem to be funny jester" players) until the end of time... or until they forget about it. Good luck and may the eight and this talisman guide you!
Sorry it was a little long but I believe everyone can get the idea here of what is "the idea". Imagine having to go toe to paw against the mighty Mehrunes Dagon to get him off his Nightmare Courser and show who's the boss in this oblivion plane! Or finding this poor little Bravil retriever puppy in the wild alone, scared under the rain (quite strange for a dog who loves the water but it's just a puppy for now) and you know you just could not let him die there so you quickly show him a bone from your last mighty dead foe you decide to kept to show how awesome you are but feel that this little puppy might need it more than you do to end up realizing that you just gave him the only thing he needs to be your best friend forever... love and care! All this in the form of quests of course.
By the end of this post if you press "U" while in the game, you might not find them in your collection but it could be the way tomorrow they would end up there...

✭Hhmm sounds like work.
Work and crown store don't mix
Nice idea though Anything that can be exploited will be exploited1 -

Full game: 60$ hours of gameplay and stories
Crown store mount: 25$ almost half the price of the game.
They make good money out of the crown store I don't see why they could not make it more inviting with in-game stories to goes with it. 0 -

✭✭✭✭Okay, how about 2000 crowns for tiger with no story.
300 crowns for story - and if you don't finish the quest, you don't get the tiger.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I love the idea. I suggested something similar where you buy quests, not just items. The problem is, a reskinned mount selling for $25 takes what? A week of work for one artist. A quest would take multiple people across multiple teams a few weeks of work.
As long as ZOS makes money on trinkets there is little incentive for them to make more substantial content.
They will make DLC and such, because it's expected, but one off quests just aren't worth the effort when they can make just as much money with a lot less effort.
I didn't buy the jaguar or the fire horse.... If quests were attached, I probably would have.... I hope ZOS considers this in the future.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

✭✭✭✭✭So you want in game quests created for crown items?
No thanks...I'd rather play the game and use in game gold vs a crown ourchase attached to an adventure.-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

The crown store is not going anywhere so I just suggest the idea to add a quest to your purchase to make more sense as of where all these come from. In an adventure way.0 -

I don't see why not. They could add a little 8 sentence paragraph giving a story on the mount.An Avid fan of Elder Scrolls Online. Check out my Concepts Repository!0 -

Gotcha but this doesn't interest me.
When I use the crown store it's to buy stuff.
Otherwise I like questing but no reason to attach this to crown purchases.-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

dafox187✭✭✭Cool idea but it would *** people off who don't want to adveture
don't get mad at my spelling, autocorrect doesn't cover fantasy.
Why couldn't the Khajiit go to the party? She had to be Elsweyr.0
