Once again as I have said in every other thread on this issue.
The problem is if you introduce anything which means there is no reason to sub for this, then you have gone against the entire point of the item.
It's there as something to entice (or reward) people to have subscriptions. The current benefits are not worth the price of the sub and thus many players dropped them. ZOS now need to get those players back as subscribers to make the money needed to keep pushing the game forward.
If you sell the original or any alternate version of the bag then players who don't want to sub will pay the one time payment and then no more money, which isn't the point of the exercise as I wrote above.
End of the day this is a subscriber item to help drive subscribers up and reward those paying the subscription. This is a far better idea than most other MMO games have done as they're giving subs additional ease of life benefits rather than penalising unsubbed players.
I am currently a Master Crafter in all professions. I carry in inventory every mat needed for every level and type of gear or consumables. I have at least two stacks of every refined mat, stacks of every raw mat, stacks of every trait and style material, every alchemy ingredient, every provisioning ingredient and every enchanting rune.
All this without any crafting bags. These bags are not offering anything that you can't already do in the game with the current inventory system, other than some convenience with Inventory Management.
This sounds like absolute bull ***. If the max inventory is 140, then you cannot carry as much as you say. Please explain this to me.
I have rehashed this so many times.
When you outright buy the DLC, your perk is your forever access to it. You get it as long as the game lasts. Your investment can never be taken from you should you stop paying into the game.
Subscribers pay MORE overtime for access to these DLCs, and the moment we stop paying POOF no more access. That investment disappears along with the money we put into it.
Subscribers need a better perk than just three days off our research time, 10% exp bonus, and some gold incentive. These are practically nothing. So we get ONE nice thing for making sure the game has steady revenue every month. Without us this game would cease to exist.
So, stop with the "it's not fair," rhetoric. You want the crafting bag, pay the $15 a month.
And the crowns we get everymonth? Hardly enough to get anything nice. And we're paying more for them on average.
And this whole "privacy" argument about not wanting to use a credit card - go to your local game store, gas station, etc. and go buy an ESO plus card. That's what my boyfriend and I do.
I buy my sub AND buy crowns for the vanity items. Don't argue we don't do the same just because we sub.
