You member ESO ?

YOU are a member of ESO? Why ? I wonder if it's that good to pay every month ?All you get is only 10% XP. And that's all. The rest is absolute zero. DLC is profitable to buy than to pay every month. Now all for sale for a fee. Even the scroll of Mara! long time ago the developers said that this will be available only to players with =Imperial edition= ( we cheated???! WOW! ) So what's the point of MEMBERSHIP? Oh this is for fans of the game!- Hmm..fans have to pay more than others? LoL. Clearly, the membership should give bonuses not available in other ways! There is a proposal - Only members can buy the Campions Points. After all, many members of the ESO can't play all the time(and need to work-true ?) System acceleration the new DLC-it's a bluff. Make a reality of membership of ESO it's awesome ! PS-English is not my language.

    I certainly agree the benefits for being a monthly subscriber are pretty underwhelming as it stands, and I believe this is the general consensus among the player base. It would be great if they made being a subscriber more worthwhile in an original and EXCLUSIVE way. And maybe give subscribers a preferential rate for crowns? 2000 a month for our $15 per instance.

    basically you are paying for the 1500 crowns each month with a little 10%XP bonus--a little paltry, but I've found I'm looting better gear for some reason and finding more blue quality stuff than before though...

    Yup.

    My small contribution to make the "cash grab via crown store" less offensive than it might otherwise be (i.e. supporting the game).

    Plus, I don't get much from the crown store, so any time I actually do want something, I've probably accumulated the crowns to grab it.

    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.

    I currently subscribe to ESO Plus on one account on one platform, and this runs out in April 2016.

    As the Live game stands today, October 20, 2015, I find ESO Plus fits my needs. I have no characters that are max level, so the +10% is useful. I have characters that are still leveling crafting, so it is useful for that. I do spend Crowns on cosmetic items in the Crown Store, and those items are funded via ESO Plus. I am not interested in convenience items in the store. I am not interested in purchasing Imperial City for 2500 Crowns because it is not worth that much to me, but I like the option to be able to go in there. Orsinium may be worth 3000 Crowns to me, but I do not want to own the DLC; I am not planning to purchase Orsinium.

    Because of the Crowns I get from ESO Plus, where I subscribe I do not purchase Crowns directly. The Crowns with ESO Plus come with the 10% and the DLC and that is better than just the Crowns. I place value on the rest of ESO Plus in excess of what some other people do.

    Things that could make this party train come to a halt...

    1. Increased monetization via punitive Crown Store practices lead me to believe that ZOS does not really need my ESO Plus subscription and so it will lack value compared to the Crown Store revenue. They are making tons of money selling stuff in the store while making it harder for me, as a subscriber, to actually play the game and have fun. I am a crafter and a trader in crafting mats, both of which are directly in the cross-hairs of ZeniMax marketing agents. I increasingly feel like I am competing with ZOS, and that is a no-win situation.
    2. ZOS pulled the bacon out of the fire by moving Witches' Festival from October 13 to coincide with Halloween. This I am good with. However, the ZeniMax marketing agents are absolutely not going to be satisfied with a "win" for Halloween, a relatively minor holiday. I expect them to go all Yuletide in December and I am tired of the constant assault from marketing.
    3. A guild I am in here on ESO is forming a new chapter in another MMO game and the guild master and most of the officers are moving over there. I figure I will follow them since I have played that game before and have characters there. I think it will be an easy decision to make, given what I expect out of #1 and #2. I can still play ESO, but I will be much less interested in spending money on the game if I am spending the bulk of my time elsewhere.

    Free access to DLC, 10% boosts to gold, xp and reduction in research time, plus 1500 crowns a month. although ps4 is £1 dearer than pc, but it's no big deal.

    If you pay monthly, for example, you also get 1,500 crowns. So if you're buying that many crowns every month (which isn't much), you may as well go ahead and subscribe, because it's the same amount as the subscription.
    On top of that, you get

    - 10% bonus exp on general experience and gold earned, inspiration, research times
    - Free access to DLC as long as you have an active membership

    Without the crowns I would say it's totally useless, but considering the subscription is "free" if you're buying that many crowns every month anyway, you're actually gaining, not losing.
    If you dislike the company and refuse to buy crowns, I would say this service is not for you.

    Here! At a high level you won't need all these bonuses ( +10 % is very little). I understand people have different interests, but for me all these costumes and animals. I get 1500 crowns and I don't know what to buy at the pile of crowns. In my understanding in the crowns shop there is nothing worthy of attention for the player. What I understand as Decent - 1.The ability to migrate (or once in 6 months) on another server play NA-->EU or EU-->NA maintaining the level of your character and things. For crowns under the current membership of ESO. 2.The opportunity for crowns to improve your best thing (sword, the ring, or...) to the maximum level. Many have a favorite item in the game, rare. And then it becomes useless as a low level. You are a member of ESO and you have crowns, you can improve ONE thing to the maximum level... well, let's say once a year. For game balance it's absolutely no effect.3. Able to pay for crowns or championship points( max 50 per month ? ) or to increase the total
    bonus membership (10% increase for the crowns on the month)
    Membership of ESO should give interesting opportunities at the moment this is not...one cosmetics.

    I just like getting 1500 crowns for the cost of 1500 crowns plus a faster leveling process through subsequent Cadwell's Silver/Gold journeys. Sure goes quickly.
