Well Zenimax, I get your moral across the board here, and what the new DLC is saying is; Crime pays. And it does, it is a most lucrative way of income, with very little actual risk to it. Sure I can traverse the terrain and gather resources and put them on the guild store, and maybe earn 2000 gold, or I can pick pockets, murder and steal my way through the cities and earn way more than that.

Hmmm, I wonder if "Crime pays" also relates to the real world? :tongue:

    Now that you mention it, yes, it does seem like Bethesda and Zenimax are trying to tell us something important here :smile:

    With the right passives in TG and Legerdemain... you can make 30k-ish gold per day :p

    Have fun with that

    Somebody needs to play Morrrowind and do the Bal Molagmer quests.
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    It does - only it's called "business" instead.

    Crime
    1. an action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law.

    Since you are not 'punishable' if you don't get caught, its an offence, not a crime.

    That is a pretty bad definition - if any action which constitutes an offense and is punishable by law would be a crime, then spitting on the ground in a public street would be criminal and crossing road while the traffic sign shows "stop" as well, even when there is no traffic at all. In germany it is called an "Ordnungswidrigkeit" - meaning "is against the law" - but it is not considered a crime. You are not a criminal doing this, even you will be fined for it. Same goes for parking where it is not allowed, you will get a fine (some call it ticket), but you are not considered to be criminal.

    That's basically the moral of all TES games, because the Empire's (of the faction's) economy and government sucks. Try buying a house in Skyrim by farming, or trading. You can't, you have to go out "adventuring" ad risking your life to get a living. Crime is easier.

    I think there are even more things in ESO related to the real world, and some of these seem very obvious, at least to me.
    Here's an example:

    You know what else pays? Changing the entire game and champion system in fundamental ways and then refusing to offer your playerbase a free respec like every other time before so that they are compelled to by respec scrolls from the crown store. That pays.

    I didn't realize that the ability to respec for in-game gold was removed. That really sucks. How long ago did this happen? I don't recall seeing anything about it.

    That part wasn't removed. It was just the free respec from the last time we had major overhauls to skills and what not isn't being allowed this time around.

    It was removed because too many cried back at the IC patch about "forced respec" and having to reassign skill points.
    ZOS could have handled it better for sure but I think you're insinuating too much malevolent intent there.

    I said the free respec was removed. Not that the option to respec with gold was removed. I didn't insinuate anything. ;) Unless you're referring to Yonkit's post. Honestly kind of confused as I literally insinuated nothing. xD
