Crown Store Review

MidknightWolf

I am a fanboy like totally BUT I think the entire crown store should be reviewed and many over priced items get cut right in half. 20 dollar name change, 30 dollar race change, crown crates, these are just a couple rediculously over priced items. If this pattern continues we are going to see a decline in memberships down the road. I think there can and should be a balance between cost with profit and the customers getting a fair deal.

As long as people buy from the store, they won't change.

yup, pretty expensive. 30 race change, 5 hair, 5 hats etc. Mounts i don't care, but the "utility" and single cosmetic items need to be adjusted.

Like i always say, if you really wanna make the Dev's pay attention to what is going on, you need to hit their wallets.

Simple. Otherwise, they don't care. This happens in most games companies.

You'd find many who would agree.

These are actually some of the less outrageous ones.

In case you're unaware, about 3 times a year they quietly put huge discounts on crown packs. The 5500 one gets about a 30-40% discount (depending on your location). Accordingly they overprice many but not all crown store items.

If you really want any of these, wait until one of the sales.

The pattern has continued.

First there was the 4000 crown glow kitty.

Then there was 4500 crown elk. No glow. No sparkles. No rainbow farts which cure cancer. Doesn't even have the options to control display of saddlebags which basic mounts have. I bought one because I've been wanting one for years for my bosmer and was prepared. Had discount crowns so it only cost me about $20. But I almost never see anyone else riding one so it may not have sold very well.

Most recently we have the 13000 - 16300 crown Earthtear Cavern.

Also the Morrowind DLC.... no wait we're calling it a "chapter" because DLC come free with ESO Plus subscription and we want them to pay. And it won't have the long promised spellcrafting (which was to have nature spells) but it will have a new class. Though unlike other MMOs which introduce new classes, there won't be any free character slots to try the new class. You have to buy a new slot unless you're willing to delete a character and 6+ months of horse feeding, trait research, bag upgrades etc.

The name, race, and appearance change are extremely over-priced.
