So it cost $180 Aud $120 USD and its "Limited time only" so you are appealing to impulse gamblers and all the sort. If gaming had laws it much needs this would not be allowed.

People are spending this much and yet your game is severly broken on console? Keep finding ways to spend money to ruin the game to attract ALL those people not playing.

    Yes, we need yet more restrictive laws because people refuse to accept personal responsibility for their own actions.

    Well each island is like what, two or three days work for a Dev? Devs need food to, do you want poor Rich to starve?

    Serious note, the price hike is lame especially as they had already applied one cash grab mechanic to it with the limited time, could have at least given a nod to the community and kept it at the caverns price and do limited time.

    ZOS is going to ZOS however, still love the games and Devs, but their marketing team needs to sit down with some actual players and fans to talk about how to not come across as corporate greedy scum.

    What's interesting to me is that people will freak out at someone splurging a bit on a game, but won't freak at maybe spending a couple thousand at the club on drinks and such. So you mean I can put down a few racks on an iced out watch, with all types of diamonds and this and that. Can whip a foreign, and no one whines and makes hate threads? But instead will take pictures, and be trying to get known? The logic is crazy. Lmao. $80-$140 is what? Barely a night out eating? C'mon bruh. Stop it. :joy:

    Stop trolling. You are literally just here agitating. It's obvious. You are gaslighting people and concern trolling.

    Yes, we need yet more restrictive laws because people refuse to accept personal responsibility for their own actions.

    Agreed. Also, why the expletive are a large group of people so unhinged over the small amount of purpose homes are currently playing in ESO? I can't count how many comments I've read that say housing is purposeless and just a cosmetic thing. First of all, just no.
    To every single person who is ranting about housing having no purpose we only need reply: YET, mostly. Although they do have plenty of purpose for the avid ESO enthusiast. Having an ESO party? Well trot on over to the Guild HQ for some PvP private practice among the Guild...have races from point A to point B, sit down at the dinner table with your guild and have a chat...the list could literally go on for a role-player (which is what this game offers, btw).
    And second of all, if you don't like it or want to pay the price for it, don't. It is that simple. Complaining about things you'll never get because they may be out of your price range or you're just an angry elf is rather uneventful in the long term.

    This is an MMO game, with heavy role-play elements. I stress...this game receives updates, added content regularly throughout the year....so when those housing add-on's start rolling in and you missed out on the Grand Topal Hideaway, don't say you missed your opportunity to get in on the action.
    I imagine housing will only gain more purpose in the future of ESO. My only complaint right now about housing is that I want a notable Grahtwood home to purchase with water source, perhaps a tree canopy 'watch tower'...etc, etc...
    I'd pay sexy crowns for something like that...I only wonder how long ZOS will make me wait for it? :P

    @vamp_emily Where do I eat and drink? At different restaurants. And no, not at super expensive places all the time. Lol. Sometimes I like to take my girlfriend out, and be all romantic. Resulting rather expensive nights out. It also doesn't help that a lot of these places at these said nights out are in New York City, and often times than not require reservations in advance.

    As for drinks costing up to $2,000, that's relatively common. At least where I've club-hopped at before. Those bottles add-up very fast. And yes, I do mean very fast. A lot of people aren't just knocking back screwdrivers, and bottles of Greygoose anymore. Plus, often times than not a lot of it goes to display. 1 thing leads to another, and then strangers get involved. Everyone is having a good time, and it's bottles all around. Resulting in a very expensive night clubbing.

    NYC. That explains a lot of the cost structure. Much like when we visited our daughter in San Francisco. Makes these game items look cheap by comparison.

    @rotaugen454 Believe it or not, everything is expensive around where I'm at. And where I visit. A simple trip to the movies for 4 can easily run up quite a lot of money. I'm talking $100 or more. I'm serious. Especially if you are getting snacks, meals, and beverages.

    Oh, I believe it. I was there in the early-mid 80s and it was expensive then. Even Southern CA can be pricey. Move my same house 20 miles and it TRIPLES in cost.

    I really dont get the constant gripes about limited time only - it was previewed a while back, could be previewed for some time, has had videos of it online since before housing went live i think and i cannot imagine that any significant percentage of those who are buying it were at all affected by the "only four days" thing given all that lead time.

    if IRL a 35 million dollar house was advertised as "four days only" after a long preview and posting of when it would be available - that would not result in a mad rush

    "In a month we will pit it on sale for lotsa money" is not in any way setting up "an impulse buy."

    Yea, I heard from my parents, the couple they sold their house to was from that area. Her little condo she sold in that area was enough to pay for their house in full and then some. And that house is 3x the size of her little condo.

    @vamp_emily I'll actually back him up here. I live in NYC so a date night with the GF costs me ~$200 for dinner while drinks with the guys will easily hit ~$100. I know some guys who drop ~$500+ at a club.

    His numbers are outlandish but, depending on where you live, prices can be insane. As has been highlighted elsewhere, it's all relative to your income and cost of living.

    NYC is insane.

    No houses are actually useless, unless you role play. Im talking about getting people to impulse buy and setting these items at a higher value than dlc/game/etc. people are buying who probablycant afford, The biggest issue though is they are *** the whole community for cash like this but Maw is still broken on console Etc
