Does ZoS not like money? How many people here want a crown sale?!

SirGabenOfSteamia

C'mon... how many times have we asked for a crown sale over the past few weeks? Like, are our pleas not heard by the Gods above? Let's show ZoS and crown sales some love!

Elsonso

No, I wasn't going to pay gold for these either.

I have too many Crowns, right now. The last thing I need is more of them.

Preyfar

They've had a multiple crown sales at the end of 2016. If they keep putting them on sale they're just going to devalue their worth. It's been two months since the last sale. =P

Economics called. It said this statement is bogus.

ZoS is in no position to estimate value. This is solely on the consumer. Call me cynical to believe a person's value for an infinitely distributed item, such as an electric horse, wouldn't instill a consumer's value should the price be $10 as opposed to $50.

Yes, and maybe Bethesda doesn't want you estimating the value too low. That way you will still buy it when it is not on sale.

Nerouyn

You're missing an option.

I'd like to buy discounted crowns but not for housing or crates. Given they price items so they're only reasonable if you buy crowns when they're discounted I have to wait for those sales.

Unfortunately the elk was more expensive than I anticipated and that left me short. I'm waiting for the next sale to start playing again.

They did.

There were crown pack sales in late October and late November. That would qualify as multiple sales at the end of 2016. Also one in March.

Personally I only remember the November one. I'm not on twitter and they've never sent an email announcement about crown pack sales to me. I've still got all of their promo emails and have checked them.

You missed another option ..... "Getting old seeing all the posts & polls regarding crown sales"

There will be a sale when there is a sale ...... constantly posting requesting a sale is not going to make ZOS have a sale .....

All it does is show ZOS how much you want crowns to purchase things, so why should ZOS have a sale. If you need crowns that bad, it is ZOS's best interested not to have a sale and have you wait it out and purchase at full price to get what you want .....

WhiteMage

If they're smart, they'll never do a 40% off crown sale again and instead discount the price of in-game things in the store.

You are both incorrect.

PS4 NA had a Crown Sale March 2016 and August 2016. We are long overdue for a Crown Sale on PS4 NA. Over 7 months.

Turelus

There is no sense in them doing a sale right now.

You (we) want a sale so we spend less on housing, they want us to spend more on housing. Why would they offer sales and get less money whilst many players are sinking money into Crowns right now at full value for housing.

andreasranasen

As much as I want a sale, I agree. They're most likely waiting with a sale until after new crate season and a few weeks after Homestead. Probably around April = Jesters Festival + ESO Anniversary.

FerrumnCutem

No, I wasn't going to pay gold for these either.

This thread, like all the other threads begging for crown sales, will not have any effect on Zos and will not initiate a sudden crown sale.
Ofc people are going to say yes if you ask them if they want to spend less money for more stuff, that's just a silly thing to ask.

I think your pretty close, i would bet on just before the next crown crate season...

The next crown crate season is next Thursday, I would not bet on a sale before next Thursday .....

JWKe

Most likely there will be one before the end of March. I think atm they're just trying to test people's resolve as to see who can hold out the longest without buying the crowns at an undiscount rate.

Nope. Not in the slightest.

Try reading what you replied to, and quoted, again. To help you I've added a little bold.

Duiwel

I didn't even have the game installed in October / November 2016 of last year due to a format.

So I too hope this is coming

JWKe

We here may have the fortitude and patience to wait for a clown sale. But the fact of the matter is even at this very moment I'm typing someone outthere has cracked and purchased clowns at their full price.

Nah. Wild Hunt Crown Crates will launch first, and ZOS will want to get as many people buying Crowns at full price for them as possible. I wouldn't expect a sale until April at the earliest.

Jaeysa

Yeah, I want a crown sale for new Crown Crates!

Just in time for tax refunds?

Emmeric1964

Discounting the store items as temporary specials does the trick. Makes better business sense.

Dracindo

No, I wasn't going to pay gold for these either.

Come back when they add dragon(-like) mounts/pets.


And to not start a rant, there are plenty of lore-friendly ways out there to add dragons, it only takes some creativity.

Exactly this. They aren't worth the normal price to me, so I won't buy them at that price. When they go on 1/2 sale, I find that more reasonable and am often inclined to spend a little $.

This is likely the case. Why would they put Crowns on sale just before, and in the first few weeks of, releasing their major Crown Store event item? The purpose of Crown Crates is to get people to buy Crowns, and the more they buy at full price, the happier everyone is. (Well, at least the important "everyone")

So Bethesda can hear this again... I don't buy Crown Crates or Crown Houses, and I stocked up on Crowns back in 2016. I have more Crowns than I can spend, right now. I have no reason to buy them, even if they were on sale. If I renew ESO Plus, I definitely won't have a reason to buy Crowns for the whole year. Even if I don't renew ESO Plus, I figure I am good for 2017. The focus on houses, crates, and overpriced stuff really leaves me with a lot less stuff to buy.

xKRAIZEEMANx

Yeah, I want(ed) a crown sale for housing!

I've only been an ESO Plus member for a few months...so I would definitely jump on the chance to buy discounted crowns.

I do, however, agree with what some other people are saying though...they won't do it this close to releasing new content.

necronomniconb14_ESO

No, people who pay real life money for any of these are silly...

Well a reindeer is more nerd-friendly than a dragon in a fantasy rpg setting, you have to know that come on man

I would probably only pay about 100$ (but preferably on half or close to half-off sale) to run around in a megazord and about 30 or hell even about 50 to run around looking like a power ranger. Anything else is a blatan ripoff and a bore. And that would have to be the green ranger, and the dragonzord. Maybe the white with the Tigerzord, I could settle for. But I want the green really with that awesome flute as a sword/dagger weaponskin and a emote and an animation to play it when summoning the dragonzord mount. I would pay 80 to 120 bucks for that, not for a lame house that doesn't do even the limited stuff official TES homes in the real elder scrolls games do.

TimidGazelle

Crowns are in high demand, it would be stupid of them to start a sale right now. Maybe you plebs should have held off on that elk mount.

Purrmaid

Yeah, I want a crown sale for both!

Yes I want a sale.
I also want to win the lottery and find a drugdealers leftover bag with millions of dollars in it.

None of those are very reasonable. With the new changes to ESO with steam (allowing us to buy crowns and subs through steam with steam wallet) they had a sale on the ESO+ there. So I doubt we'll see another sale right now, aslong as THAT sale is on-going.

(and really, ESO+ gives us crowns too!)
