I think there should be more benefits... more of an xp boost... More discounts... One exclusive item per month... Discuss

    If you buy a lot of stuff from the Crown Store, then yes, it's definitely worth it. It's a no-brainner.

    Yes I do. The balance/rewards right I think strike a good balance.
    In addition to all the other advantages spoken about in previous discussions; if you do not see anything in the Crown Store you like, simply hold on to your crowns until you do in future.
    If you can be anything, be kind.

    But then u still pay 15 dollars for a month of not much return... I think at the very least, Xp should be increased... This won't break the game, and is easy to implement

    No, this is why I unsubbed. It might be worth it in 3 or 4 years when there's enough various DLCs available to warrant subbing instead of buying, but right now the sub is basically charity for developers.

    XP should be increased to 25% and we should get a title or sonething but i will keep the sub up anyway :)

    Not for me.

    I never cared about crafting overmuch, my playtime is limited so 10% isn't going to make much difference really, the crown store has literally nothing I want to buy as pets are server waste contributing to lag, and costumes are non-customizable. Most importantly, bulk crowns are a better value than sub'ing.

    I still love the game enough to keep at it, and will "support" it by buying content (zones) that appeal to me. B2P was actually a good thing. Who has not wanted to call the cable company and get only the channels they "want" and not pay for the whole caboodle??? You can do that with ESO :D I wasnt so happy about it at first, but I love it now. (Plus they had me on the hook for well over a year, more than enough for any "game")
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Not worth it for me, but I can see how it would be worth the money for newer players who want the XP, gold and research boosts and who also buy a lot of items in the crown store. I also think there will be more value in it next year when there are multiple DLCs included.
    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

    $15 = 1500 crowns.
    Everything else is a bonus

    Your investing into DLC as a payment plan vs paying it all up front.
    In this case this investment comes with other bonuses.

    Well worth it

    I agree there should be more but not xp, games get ruined when too much xp is given out. Right now after all these months I think there should be 12 character slots for plus members. That could end up making more money in long run for them because a LOT of players will sub just for that reason.

    But who am I? LOL when the game was announced going B2P with a crown store and how PC/MAC players were treated during that time, they forgot about us and concentrated on consoles. During that time I was screaming loyal players should get lifetime subs. But now the more time I think about it 12 character slots would be fair and acceptable to all party's.

    I think extra slots make sense as crown store purchases but character slots for a sub don't make sense as those characters would become locked if an account ran into a renewal problem.

    Also being a PC beta tester and playing on PC at release and then moving to Xbox while continuing on PTS for PC , the PC group needs to be real. It's not all about any one group. There is no favoritism going on and no one is left out.

    For the most part we are all playing the same game.
    Development delays and set back influenced all groups.

    So 50% exp boost but no crowns or other benefits?
    Or
    One in-game item and no other benefits?

    I like ESO plus as is vs those other options

    No... I mean one of those things on top of the current benefits... Because my point was that the current benefits aren't enough to warrant a $15 monthly sub... ther items in the crown store are already overpriced, imo

    You are kidding right? Sorry we are not all playing the same game. Going from PC to Consoles you should know that more than anyone else. But I won't get into argument with you over it, just amazes me when people like you make statements like this.

    1. SWTOR republic does this but they take it to extremes but you can also purchase the extra slots from store to activate those characters.
    2. Again too much xp ruins the games, been proven in games like SWTOR and LOTRO. It isn't always (or shouldn't be) about getting to end game. A lot of people just enjoy the journey.
    3. With more layoffs hitting ZoS they are going to be forced to do something soon because after all it is all about money if you want the game to expand and flourish!
    4. People on these forums that think just the box dollars will keep the game alive are foolish and have no idea how MMORPG's work!

    1500 crowns is $15 as is...I don't believe that it makes financial sense for ZOS I give out exp at 50% and doc access with crowns for $15.

    The exp scrolls alone are 1000 crowns for 5
    1500 crowns - $15
    DLC = ?

    Don't you think that's very unrealistic as a suggestion to ZOS?

    imo if ur gna buy crowns buying the sub is better for xp bonus dlc content(for future reference) and getting the crowns youd spend the same $14.99 on either way so subbing is better than buying crowns unless you want to buy a lot of crowns

    It's definitely worth it to me and my husband. For myself, I spend more crowns than my measly $15 covers anyway and I want to support a game I really enjoy. My husband spends hardly any crowns at all but wants to support the game. I wish he could give me his crowns.

    It depends on your agreement with your bank. Many will cover the expense and then hit you with a insufficient funds charge on top of the $15 they covered for your sub. Some banks simply won't cover the charge.

    I have sub since XBOX release. Great bonuses. I am not a hardcore time spender so getting any bonus at all is helpful to me.

    -I like that the DLC coming out will not cost anything extra.
    -I like that I have Crowns just sitting there for when I do see something I like. (I purchased a crown repair pack yesterday when we kept wiping in a raid, came in handy)
    -I really like this game. So I like supporting things I enjoy.

    I see no downside to ESO plus. I do not believe that increasing the XP is necessary.

    Bottom line the bonuses are nice IMO. I want nothing handed to me overall and I want to earn something. Making a game easier and easier because people do not want to spend the time or "Work hard" for something is robbing them of a great experience of earning something you worked hard to get.
