Long term plan for DLC - Will older DLC become discounted or bundled?

I am a father of 2, single salary, modest income individual. There was a time I had expendable cash and would read people complain about $15 monthly subs for MMOs and could not understand where they were coming from. I now understand. My hobby is getting more expensive, cost of living keeps rising and my salary hasn't moved at all. I've learned to become savvy with my money, making it go further. When it comes to game purchases unless its on top of my radar I'll wait for the price to drop. The only game I have purchased at release in the last year is Fallout 4 ($79.99 cdn - quite happy with my decision). I want to say this is a reality for many of us going forward.

Now for the basis of my post. Does ZOS have plans to discount their DLC once it becomes "dated" or as newer DLC becomes available? I think by having timely (6 months after release seems reasonable) weekend sales or bundling your older DLC at a lower price you will tap into a new source of cash and make a segment of your customer base very happy. Something to consider!

    Considering ZOS is yet to release its third DLC, I don't see it happening for a few more years.
    Don't get your hopes up too soon, you'll be holding your breath for a long time.
    If you can't afford the up-front for it, consider subbing (a sub gets you access to all live DLCs).
    Save the crowns, buy the DLCs you want after trying them.

    The new data mining suggests that they'll have an all DLC bundle, but it's not set in stone.

    Who know what prices they will charge in the future for older DLCs.

    The Monetization Department would be much less happy though, as that kind of information could make people wait before paying and pay less, if at all (whereas preferred behaviour would be to pay right now and more). They will more likely make it a sudden, limited offer to sway the hesitant.

    I was thinking the same.
    I am a father or two and my wife is not cheap so I have barely any money at all!

    I bought the imperial city doc which was a massive let down for me I thought as I hate the pvp side and it's all to hard for alone and needs a team and barely anyone there.

    I also (when I had money) bought this game for myself, my dad and my wife so we could all play together which was imperial edition each (the game was not on sale so I'll price) and I bought them a few months of subscription before it changed to the buy to play, also bought my wife he imperial edition so I have spent my damn fair share on this game and sucks because no reward stuff or I would have it.

    When I can, I will get the Orsinium dlc as I badly want it. The same as theif one coming. It would be awesome if they discounted the crowns when a new dlc is up or knocked off a price of the old one like Orsinium you know.
