Title change so not violating zos precious rules, keeping discussion on track, the reason people are upset is after they bought something they change it, makes you wonder how many times this gonna happen in the future, and yes they is a pay to win aspec with the mimic stones, you can make a ton of in game gold off of them thats pay to win is it not. The crown crates have been lack luster due to horrible rng and the offerings in the actual store havent been worth anything since the crates

Besides bribing people to let you become emperor, please say how having a ton of in-game gold is "winning" anything at all. Really. Even if you do bribe everyone to make yourself emperor you will be deposed in minutes. What do you "win"? There are already people who have many tons of in-game gold that they acquired without the benefit of paying for mimic stones first. Did they win first? Or is their win better somehow? Special title? Some special achievement that mentions you didn't use mimic stones to get the 9000 billion gold you have?

There might be some rare style mats for sale at the guild traders. I haven't paid that much attention. I buy mimic stones to craft rare styles for myself and friends. Hey, can't you buy some of the style mats for telvar or ap? OMG THAT IS PAY TO WIN!!!! People are selling the style mats for in-game gold......

I don't mind the crown store. I am pissed by the change to crates. However, the rest of it is all fine to me.

Crown Store no issues. Even if they pack it with Limited items. Crown Crates hate it to the bone.

idk

I have no concerns. If I buy something if something I think would be fun to have and is set at a price I am willing to spend.

If it doesn't suit my fancy or the price is to much for me to bear I pass on it.

Works really well.

No concern here with the crown store.. I really like it...... Nobody works for free OP... and ZoS need to make money...Im just happy its not pay to win and they only sell cosmetic stuff

Dont know why people think you can unite a lot of programmers who had to study for years to create something for you to enjoy and they should do it for free while still owing a big student debt... SMH Mysteri0n.

Crates - don't like em and I don't buy them.

Everything else seems pretty normal. It's all over priced, low bang for the buck in my opinion so I just use my ESO plus crowns and don't buy any with cash.

When did he ask for something free? Did I mis it? Have no problems with the store, had no problems with the crates until this season. I have supported them since launch. But the way they a slowly changing the system is the problem. At least for me. Everyone has different opinions and values different things. When a person hits that point where the investment isn't enough for their return, then they will stop spending.

I personally like eso, I liked the crown store. What I find concerning is how the items in the crown store keep increasing in price, and how they are handling the crates. So while others may have a different opinion than my own, I can say that for me they have gone a little to far. It's absolutely their game to do with as they please. My only interest in seeing it succeed is they amount of entertainment I recieve.

Now as some have stated the only things offered are cosmetic, and this is true. Some of those cosmetic items add to a person's enjoyment. So dismissing their concerns would be a bad idea. Those are in fact the customer base spending above and beyond the base game and dlc. So yes I want them to make money, but I also want my percieve value from the money I spend. It may be something as simple as a mount or costume, but that is in fact part of the enjoyment for a numerous of players. Just as housing was and is.

They would be wise to try and find that common ground of value vs. price. I would buy enough crates to get the senche mounts, because I collected everything senche. Now I have no way of knowing exactly how much I could spend to get the locked senche, so the value to me isn't there anymore. So instead of gaining my extra $120 every crate season, they get nothing from me on that front. I'm sure I'm not the only one either. And letting the company know how I and others like myself feel isn't a bad thing at all for the overall well being of the game.

And who knows maybe they don't care, but without letting them know how I feel about it, they would never change it. And they do change things over customer concerns, just look at the thread on the Earthtear cavern.

Big milking factory with most expensive prices I ever saw in games. Except allods on-line.

Focus on the crown store merans things you won't be able to get in game for gold. AND the prices are far too high. AND the gambleboxes are predatory and really rather disgusting. NOTHING should be hidden behind a gamblebox. EVERYTHING should be purchasable with a straightforward price.

They can make money without it being the focus of the game. They're not hurting for cash.

[snip], plz feel free to voice your concern zos has taken with the crown store

[Edited title and post for baiting]

1) Prices are too high in general.

2) Crates should be removed or cost less, having 400 per crate is an insult.


That is all

I am not asking for free stuff, they stuff they have lacks value, its like buying a PC from 10 years ago for 20k, that a comparison, not to be taken literally, I use to buy stuff all the time from the store when the items had value, now they watered down,

I just bought a bad ass costume for only 5hunned. Not the boobie one but the jedi/ninja one. Great deal if you ask me so I'm happy.

Shouldn't this be posted in the Crown Store section?
