    I don't think anyone will ever answer you, but[SNIp] I wonder: Why did they skip over this one motif? It's an odd thing to do on purpose. Maybe they intended to and, as new things came out, they forgot? That's my guess.

    [SNIp] Tbh, I think they meant to, but pvp whining got it sidetracked.

    It'd be nice to get an ACTUAL RESPONSE from them on the issue though

    OP it won't happen, AP is ez to get ( there is no need for a response thus responding to this thread is low priority)

    You can buy it with gold, AP, ect.

    If you pvp for a month you could own half the book by not even trying very hard.

    If you're any good at pvp or just heal you could have the whole book in 2 months if you pvp as a casual. :wink:

    (kinda makes me ashamed that I don't own a single page yet myself now)

    Seeing as I spend my stuff on trebs, boxes, rings, helms.

    Has nothing to do with how 'easy' AP is to get, has everything to do with how every other motif got placed into the Crown Shop already.

    Yet I have not seen an akiviri motif in guild traders on months. Why not give akiviri the same crown store treatment as dro-mathra got with a limited time offering.

    Akaviri motifs are everywhere in traders. You need just need to look, and the prices aren't near as high as they were 2 months ago.

    Zos have always treated this motif as being kind of special and it has remained unique since its introduction in the way it is obtained. It seems to be a deliberate move by Zos to keep it the way it is.

    I'm not a pvper, but I don't think there's any harm in letting them have this one motif as a moneymaker. I bought all my akaviri pages with gold. Pvpers gotta eat

    Well, I disagree, because every other motif went into the shop...this one needs to as well.

    No need for special treatment just because some pvpers whine about it.

    The crown store entry for it was datamined over a year and a half ago, so they did intend to put it in the crown store at some point.

    Dunno if it will ever be in the store.
    They aren't going to tell you if it will or not.
    It may never come.

    I started playing Cyro at the start of the double AP week and played every day. It took me just over 2 weeks to get enough AP to complete the motif plus buy a couple of the cheap pages.
    There were lots of pages on guild stores all over.

    You started the thread over a month ago.
    You could have had it done by now.

    This has not a thing to do with AP, or Cyrodil, or anything you just blathered out.

    Hope so...but a lot of what they've said would happen, ended up not happening, so it's a concern...

    I think they would do it soon. Since this anniversary event the prices on akaviri have tanked on the guild traders anyways. What's there to lose? Would also personally love to see more motifs such as OotH and minotaur on the store.
  • Avidspark

    I dearly hope so, it would seem like the Anniversary event including these motifs puts them even more squarely in line with every other motif, so they really have no more excuse not to do it.

    Now that the Motif-traganza is over, and Akaviri has plummeted in value, what's the latest excuse for not placing it in the Crown Shop?

    O, w8, we never got the first excuse yet, now did we? :o

    I thought motif pictures from the crown store involved an anvil? like these,

    gp_crwn_costumes_grimharlequin_1x1.jpg
    stalhrim_frostcaster_style_eso.jpg

    Which is different to the picture that's shown,
    As I see no Anvil in this image.

    Meanwhile, during the Jesters Festival these Costumes were available via the harvest addon glitch that have yet to be released.

    If I had to guess, they are going to release an Akaviri costume pack similar to the imperial, and knight.

    I'm guessing it's not in the crown store because placing it there would upset people who primarily pvp and need these motifs to make money. I personally think it's the right decision not to put them in the crown store. I also wouldn't give guidance on this if I were ZOS, as there is no upside to doing so.
  • Avidspark

    Didn't ask for guesses, and all the other motifs have been placed therein, so there's absolutely no reasonable excuse not to place Akaviri there....especially after releasing so many in the Jubilee boxes.

    Pvp whiners notwithstanding.

    Well that's the best your going to get unless someone from ZOS leaks info which they wont.

    My speculation is sound. You ask why they don't just add it, probably for the same reason they don't add all the motifs in the crown store. People would probably complain. It's as simple as that.

    @pugyourself +1

    He intentionally bumped this thread back to the top today for no reason. Since he stated in today's post that the prices have plummeted. Why not just go get the motif with gold instead of whining again in this thread .....

    More than once people have replied in an attempt to assist, which he has commented rudely in few replies. The mods even had to snip him once .....

    For some reason he thinks he is more important than every other player on the forums and game by continually requesting demanding an answer to his question.....

    ZOS does not reply to all posts on this forum, Matt has stated this. I even quoted Matt in here, but he would not accept it. Most accept this and move on, but not him. He clearly thinks he is better than everyone else in this game ......

    I hope they never put this motif in the crown store just because of this thread .....

    My suggestion to everyone is to stop replying to this post, he is not going to accept or appreciate anything another poster has to offer unless it is in agreement to what he wants .....

    To the OP ..... there comes a time with everything in life that does not go your way, except it and move on .....
