I'm not following your logic... you are not losing access to anything... you're simply not getting the 'bonus' that ESO+ members are getting. Just because a certain bonus was added at the same time a DLC was added to the game DOES NOT MEAN that they were included with or came with that DLC... 'craft bags' came out with DB but they weren't 'part of' the DB DLC. You got the content that you paid for, but if you want the extras that come with ESO+, then subscribe to get them.
The problem you don't seem to understand is that, for DLC purchasers, those things you call "extras" are the ONLY reason to pay a ESO+ sub. Do really expect anybody to be happy paying $15/month JUST for the crafting bag?
The only reasonable solution to this problem is for ZOS to SELL the crafting bag as a DLC in the Crown Store. I don't care what the DLC costs, as long as I don't get "double dipped" by a subscription.

Some people will see your decision to do both - buy DLC and sub - as paying double for the same content - even if you just can use it once.
Maybe, but I get the crowns from the sub anyway and as I say I usually want the mount and pet also. it secures my ever being in a position to not be able to sub to being able to enjoy the content, plus I feel without subs and people investing in the game, eventually it will cease to beThis whole situation is about personal perception in any case, and how people perceive the value of something.

But seriously what could happen, that you cannot afford 50 cents per day, if you can afford it now - I see no reason ever why you could not afford it, if you can now. I think you are just overly worried about not being able to at some point in time.

Sure, I'll elaborate.

First of all you weren't conned into anything. Second of all if you start subbing now you will gain access to all future DLC. Why do so many people assume that the instant they purchase a DLC they can never sub or they wasted money?
You don't think calling something "Unlimited" and then, months later, adding a bunch of limits to it is a bit of a scam? I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you....
Where are these limits? What is the advantage I have over you? Seriously you would think the E in ESO stands for Entitlement now.

Dyes which haven't been unlocked will be available periodically in the Dye Stamps.
This only applies to costumes, btw, you will still be able to dye normal armor pieces as you do now, subscriber or not.FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »NewBlacksmurf wrote: »As much as I understand your point and frustration, the sub is purely optional.

They aren't locking access to your dyes. They are simply allowing you to purchase dye stamps or subscribe and unlock them for your costumes. You can still dye your armor all you want.
I played to unlock certain dyes...
I paid real money for some costumes and unlocked other costumes via in-game achievements.
Based on what I heard and saw, the only way to dye my costumes is yet another cash method which is ESO plus for previously unlocked dyes and paying for crowns for unlocked dyes.
Or you could sub. Which is what it says on the price tag.If armor worked this way prior its of no concern but again....this is the second base game update that's locked behind a subscription.
The announced "base game patch features" (since you love semantics so much) simply says; "the ability to dye costumes," which you can totally do without subbing. It makes no promises beyond being able to change costume colors. Subscriptions are just given a little more freedom in the matter; that's a bonus incentive to subscribe.
I'm sorry about your XBone issues, but you should really make a thread discussing that specifically, or contact support (if you haven't) not bury it in a complaint about having to subscribe. Because if that's your real concern, it's going to get lost in the discussion.
@ShedsHisTail
I've had 15+ different threads with different tickets under each. It's not a ME problem it's hundreds of thousands of users per ZOS as recent as PAX east
This issue begin at console launch and was never resolved.
I'm sorry to hear that.

Is it possible the problem is with Microsoft, not ZOS? Have you tried talking to them?

Well, you can buy more character slots and create extra mules, you can increase the inventory spaces of all those characters... is it a pain, yes, but it's also a SOLUTION. You're blaming ZOS for how you are CHOOSING to play the game, they're not forcing you to be a crafter, they're not forcing you to be a horder, you have options and solutions but instead you want to complain about what you don't have instead of what you DO have. If crafting means so much to you, then subscribe and never buy another DLC.

I haven't seen ANYBODY say that. All I see are subscribers posting furiously on these forums, trying to act like the rest of us are "entitled" cheapskates or whatever. This really makes me angry, because I've spent HUNDREDS of dollars on this game since it came out of beta, including a $50 motif I've only used twice.

That's because those are the only comments you choose to read and retain because they support your mindset... yet through pages on all those threads, I've seen numerous people who have said they had stopped subbing but would gladly sub again just for the crafting bags. In fact, the number of people complaining was fairly small, but they kept commenting over and over and over again making it seem like a lot of people were complaining, when in fact, it was just the same people repeating the same argument.

Asking @ZOS_JessicaFolsom why nothing has changed on the ZOS side as its been 14 months and counting.
Only thing I can think of is because it's an issue which is affecting a minority of players, so taking the lock off for everyone just to appease those few who are having issues would be too disruptive to their model. Not to mention, can you imagine the outrage from the PS4 and PC community if suddenly there were no subscription locks for Xbox?
They' end up having to remove those locks from PC and PS4 too, which, might sound good on the surface, but when the game goes B2P with no perks for subscribers, I think you could pretty much say goodbye to any sort of luxury content in the future.
Every single new addition would be in the Crown Store, and it wouldn't be cheap because they'd have to make up for all those subscriptions they don't have anymore because no one is subscribing because there's no longer any incentive. I imagine it'd take less that 6 months for the game to P2W just to keep the money flowing.
THAT would kill this game.
So, yeah, I feel for you, I do.
But incentivizing the subscription model is what keeps this game tolerable. Regular income is what keeps this game from being P2W. If that means a few folks with glitch accounts are out in the cold on a few perks, from a business perspective I'd take that trade in a heartbeat.
All I can say is keep hammering on them until you reach some sort of resolution. Or get a PC.

Dyes which haven't been unlocked will be available periodically in the Dye Stamps.
This only applies to costumes, btw, you will still be able to dye normal armor pieces as you do now, subscriber or not.FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »NewBlacksmurf wrote: »As much as I understand your point and frustration, the sub is purely optional.

They aren't locking access to your dyes. They are simply allowing you to purchase dye stamps or subscribe and unlock them for your costumes. You can still dye your armor all you want.
I played to unlock certain dyes...
I paid real money for some costumes and unlocked other costumes via in-game achievements.
Based on what I heard and saw, the only way to dye my costumes is yet another cash method which is ESO plus for previously unlocked dyes and paying for crowns for unlocked dyes.
Or you could sub. Which is what it says on the price tag.If armor worked this way prior its of no concern but again....this is the second base game update that's locked behind a subscription.
The announced "base game patch features" (since you love semantics so much) simply says; "the ability to dye costumes," which you can totally do without subbing. It makes no promises beyond being able to change costume colors. Subscriptions are just given a little more freedom in the matter; that's a bonus incentive to subscribe.
I'm sorry about your XBone issues, but you should really make a thread discussing that specifically, or contact support (if you haven't) not bury it in a complaint about having to subscribe. Because if that's your real concern, it's going to get lost in the discussion.
@ShedsHisTail
I've had 15+ different threads with different tickets under each. It's not a ME problem it's hundreds of thousands of users per ZOS as recent as PAX east
This issue begin at console launch and was never resolved.
I'm sorry to hear that.
If I worked for ZOS I would try to help you.
Is it possible the problem is with Microsoft, not ZOS? Have you tried talking to them?
@ShedsHisTail
It was confirmed during a three way with a Microsoft Xbox manager and ZOS while I was on with them after a 45 day 50+ email chain after it occurred the third month in a row.
I tried again 30 days ago and it failed again and I had to contact ZOS with a ticket.
Then after a few emails I got my crowns but some of the DLC access wasn't resolved even still as of Monday (alive been on travel but it expires tomorrow so, my point is why are they continuing to lock things behind a sub when they've publicly confirmed its a known issue for over a year on Xbox one and don't have an ETA when it will be resolved nor do they have a plan to stop charging people money as the only ones who get crowns are those who create a ticket
Otherwise those impacted which again and a lot are just throwing money away and this seems to be more detrimental to ZOS than beneficial. These two decisions would complicate an already problematic issue.
Asking @ZOS_JessicaFolsom why nothing has changed on the ZOS side as its been 14 months and counting.
Only thing I can think of is because it's an issue which is affecting a minority of players, so taking the lock off for everyone just to appease those few who are having issues would be too disruptive to their model. Not to mention, can you imagine the outrage from the PS4 and PC community if suddenly there were no subscription locks for Xbox?
They' end up having to remove those locks from PC and PS4 too, which, might sound good on the surface, but when the game goes B2P with no perks for subscribers, I think you could pretty much say goodbye to any sort of luxury content in the future.
Every single new addition would be in the Crown Store, and it wouldn't be cheap because they'd have to make up for all those subscriptions they don't have anymore because no one is subscribing because there's no longer any incentive. I imagine it'd take less that 6 months for the game to P2W just to keep the money flowing.
THAT would kill this game.
So, yeah, I feel for you, I do.
But incentivizing the subscription model is what keeps this game tolerable. Regular income is what keeps this game from being P2W. If that means a few folks with glitch accounts are out in the cold on a few perks, from a business perspective I'd take that trade in a heartbeat.
All I can say is keep hammering on them until you reach some sort of resolution. Or get a PC.
It's not a minority tho per ZOS and not me.

What happened to Matt F no sub required statements with ESO plus?
Crafting bags and now this.....when are you going to fix ESO plus for Xbox one.
