I resent the Crown Store in general. I'm still one of those players that's always going to be peeved that we lost the sub model. I think the Crown Store is actually a detriment to the development of the game. There are so many awesome things ZOS that ZOS could do that probably wont ever be done because of Crown Store consideration.
As for the pricing. It's ridiculous, but people are obviously paying it. I'm sure ZOS has made tens of thousands of dollars on that one costume by now. As long as a good deal of people buy things for that price there is ZERO reason for ZOS to lower the price.
This game exists for the sole purpose of milking you for every possible dollar. Nothing to see here, move along.

yeah and that's a good internal attitude...
anyway... Idk , its just a major let down. I have payed and contributed to this game since beta and this has just made me feel like this game just isn't for me.

Really a cosmetic item's price is your major let down?
It is this easy: if you cannot justify the price then don't buy it.
You are looking at this the wrong way.
Here is my working theory: The price is actually not 2000... it is 500 - as in 5$.
This because Z considers the "free" 1500 per month one gets for a subscription as a baseline for all their pricing.
The whole transition from a mandatory monthly fee system to what we have now was a marketing ruse, nothing more, nothing less. In reality we are still on the same old monthly sub system today; it is only more (or less) hidden... with that in mind the hero costume is "only" an extra 5 bucks.
Which is actually still acceptable for a micro-transaction store.
On the other hand... if one dares to refuse to take part in this "new" subscription model, they make sure you get the message when you actually want something from the Clown store at full price. Loud and clear and painful.
Well... that's only my theory. Just a theory. Ofc.

I've Thought for a while that ZOS should offer a premium subscription... $20... $25 that is an "all in" sub. You get access to everything
All DLC
All Crown Store pets
All Crown Store Mounts
All Crown Store Costumes
2000 or 2500 crowns per month to spend on consumables
XP boost
etc.
etc.
etc.
They could call it ESO Plus Unlimited.
