Scam

Docmandu · June 2015

1000 crown store points for +10 in a horse skill line... 18000 crown points for 60/60/60, so that's about 120+ euro just for 1 character on your account. How much as I hate relogging 8 times a day to train my horses and waste 10 minutes doing that... think I prefer that option versus spending 960 euro to get my 8 character's horses trained.

Somebody should make a bot to do that login/pay horse fee/logout/login next character... doubt ZOS will ever make it so you can just have your horse auto train each day if your in-game bank balance can afford it.

Wait for the EXP pots with a droprate of 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

vs 10 Pots for 10 Euro

It's not a scam. It's basically there if you need a few extra spots and have the extra crowns. Nobody's expecting anyone to REALLY run out and buy 18K crowns worth of horse training per character.

I bought 4K of them. For example, I had 5,100 crowns yesterday and was trying to level up a new character with a horse speed of... 1. My main's horse is 60, and going from a full 60 speed to 1 is annoying as can be. It's painful. I log into all my characters daily to give them their one horse feeding, but when I'm ready to level now, so I needed some help. Luckily, ZOS provided good skooma and made the horse training guides available.

They're not for everyone. And it's not meant to give you an instant full speed/stam/capacity horse either. Just a boost, which does nothing more than shave 10 days off of the time and save you 2,500 gold. Not a game changer, not a scam. The price is valued only by what you make of it. You like it, you hate it, it's worth it, it's not worth it.

It's not essential, not something people are forcing you to buy.

Not a scam. It's $1 per horse stat. Just because your horse can get to 60/60/60 doesn't mean you need those stats immediately. People only look at the extremes, from 0/0/0 to 60/60/60. But going from 0 speed to 20 speed is a very noticeable increase, and that's very cheap or pretty quick to get. Your horse will be perfectly fine if you only have it at 20/0/30 or something similar. If you want it maxed without spending the money, then you have to put in the work to get it.

It would be a scam if it promised you X but only gave you half, or nothing, or anything other than advertised X.

Over priced? Debatable (there are threads doing so) but its not a scam.

It's not a scam. There's a reason the crown store prices are so high. The lower they go, the more P2W this game becomes. I would personally never consider horse riding lessons P2W, but I know a lot of people do. So they're priced in such a way to discourage anyone from just straight up buying all of their lessons. They exist to use here and there when you need them.

Forestd16b14_ESO · June 2015

Again how is 60 extra slots in your bag a P2W ? This isn't a P2W so please shut up about it. Any one who thinks this is a p2w and raging about it on the forums in my opinion just trying to get notice or just trolling.

kevlarto_ESO · June 2015

Not a scam not p2w, just an option to help you finish your horse training don't think it was intended to be used for all 60x3 levels but if you wanted to you could I suppose, but the price of instant gratification is expensive .

Solid_Metal · June 2015

how the hell it's a scam?, it's a price for your laziness since feeding a horse literally just 1 button press

The people who will pay $1000 to max out riding skill are called whales, and they are exactly who the cash shop is made for.

Lol that's much better.

$180 USD for a max stat horse is ridiculous and not comparable to any of the other prices in the crown store. With that said I do think it's a good deterrence to those looking for a p2w speed horse for pvp. This sums it up nicely,

I could care less, but it IS considered p2w when the difference between winning or losing a battle in Cyro depends on how fast your horse can get you to said battle.

Anyone who thinks it's not p2w and raging about it on the forums imo is just trying to p2w a speed horse for Cyro or trolling.

see what I did there
