Will you pay with Gold or Crowns?

The big question! How will you buy your house? Gold or Crowns? (How to separate the P2W from the boyz)
My view is that if you can earn in-game currency to buy these houses, then why would you even spend real money? Forget the crown exclusives because that is just bait. I think if you pay for crowns then you're the reason things will always be expensive in the crown store.
Please be nice. Grab your popcorn guys.

✭✭✭✭✭GoldGold, I have the Crowns for the Ebeonheart Manor but I would rather work for it and have an in game goal again.

Dawnblade✭✭✭✭✭Fail poll - no option for neither.
I find housing (at least as it is right now) lacking, and won't bother with it (non-functional homes with decorations that take up general inventory don't interest me in the least).

But since they will probably go for much more I will not spend a single cent on them.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Both.
Plan on guild hall with crowns - a small/medium empty house with gold so I can go out, craft furniture and decorate myself, and then furnished Mathiisen Manor because I'll never have enough style stones to make all the awesome Altmer furniture.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord1 -

✭✭✭✭✭CrownsAs I don't use the dysfunctional trading system, I have very little gold and will therefore use my subscription crowns to buy a better house than I could ever afford otherwise. I doubt very much that I'll spend any real money on it although I'm not opposed in principle to doing so and the housing costs are surprisingly cheap in crowns (not least in comparison to other things like mounts), but prohibitively expensive in gold for casual players or non-traders. Neither option involves anything remotely approaching P2W.4 -

✭GoldGold, but I did consider getting Ebonheart Chateau for Crowns, since I'm never going to have 3m of in-game money
I decided against it when I saw Morrowind will have housing, so I'm holding out to see if a Telvanni-style tower will be available for my Dunmer. The rest of my characters will be getting small-medium houses bought with gold.
I understand the people who pay with Crowns, especially for the nicer houses. Some people just don't have the time or will to grind up that much money in the game, but they have enough disposable income irl that they can spend that much on entertainment. There's nothing wrong with paying to get things you enjoy in your favorite game... especially when that thing is a cosmetic item available through in-game currency as well.
But that's the beauty of a system like this: you can choose which option works best for you given your time and resources. Pointing fingers at the other side and going "They're what's wrong with this game" doesn't do anyone any good.
Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

It's Hunding's Palatial Hall, required Glenumbra Adventurer achievement and 1,295,000 gold. I'll check again when I get home, but I was sure I had both those on my buying character.Main: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

lehran✭✭✭Both. I want the island and that's crown-only, but I'll be getting others for gold (mostly as a warehouse or two to store furnishings in).0
