Holy Cow!

And, I felt guilty for splurging on four of the 5500 crown packs.

You must have loved going through the process 25 times since ZOS has yet to allow one to purchase multiple crown packs at once.

But, what on earth would you do with that many crowns unless you are saving up for a LONG time?

idk

49501 or more Crowns

Actually. Haven't purchase anything. Just found it about the sale.

I guess we have a couple weeks off form the threads complaining about how many crowns something costs.

as another posted, I bought 4 packs of 5500

totaling 22k

I have a little over 60K after buying 10 packs today...

And to all those giving the people grief over buying a large amount of Crowns...

I think its nuts that my friend spends $8.00 for a cup of coffee... 2 times a day... but I would never presume to tell him how to spend his money...since he's the one who earned it...

Also at $16 a day... that would equate to about a little more than 3500 crowns.... mind you this is per day.... and I sure as hell will get more enjoyment out of 3500 crowns than i would ever over a cup of Joe...

Your friend needs to buy a coffee machine and join the "Practical Adults" club ;p

Bought 5500 crowns and with those crowns I bought:

• Starter Pack: Adept-experience scrolls and riding lessons for new characters. The costumes are rather underwhelming but I'll probably use them
• Adventurer Pack-I love having more options with Any Race, Any Alliance
• Digital Imperial Upgrade-Another option and another race to experiment with

.

This is the most money I spent on any game ever! Sub for the crafting bag, Morrowind addon, DLCs (before I subbed), etc. This game is designed for longevity and I plan on playing the hell (oblivion) out of it because I enjoy it and I invested too much already anyway...

Some people buy Starbucks 4 times a day... also it is practical for him... since he doesn't want to spend time making coffee and is very comfortable financially...

To be fair, everyone enjoys different things. For them, the $8 for a cup of coffee is worth it. To you, $16 a day of Crowns is worth it. It's important to remind oneself that world revolves around everyone and/or no one.

Yup... as long as it is within one's means... how people spend their money should be no one else's business...come to think of it... even if it isn't within one's means...

When does the offer end? If there is an announcement, I would like to see the link.

Well 3500 Crowns is a bit over $25 based on the 5500 Crown pack value. If counting Crowns on sale then sure, $16 is accurate. Normally that $16 would amount to around 2200 Crowns.

Regardless, you can spend your money on whatever you like.

It's just that ZOS has no reason to ever bother with lowering prices on items, and are geniuses for implementing Crown Crates considering there are people willing to drop thousands of dollars on them without a second thought.

I plan to purchase a fair amount of crown crates in the upcoming season, research scrolls and anything else that pops up that I like. It might seem like a lot but I'd probably spend that much at full price if it wasn't for the sale!

As a working professional myself, I've never seen a single office that doesn't have a semi-gourmet coffee maker, especially if they actually are "very comfortable financially" as you claim. I've also not met a single coffee snob that chooses Starbucks over other coffee. Nobody "prefers" Starbucks.

Semantics aside, I respectfully disagree. Unless there is a Starbucks twenty feet away from his office doorway, there is nothing "practical" about choosing Starbucks, due to travel time alone. Travelling to Starbucks, versus making Starbucks coffee in a coffee maker, is literally an incovenience, thus not the practical choice. If you want to use your own fictional definition of the word "practical", there would be no use arguing at that point.

The only situation I can see your assessment being practical, is if your friend is on the road every hour of the day. In that case, disregard my words entirely.

P.S. My original comment was more a light-hearted joke, than a challenge. I guess you chose to interpret it as he latter.

My office has a gourmet coffee maker, an espresso machine, a french press and a Keurig machine. People still walk over to Starbucks to buy coffee. I don't really understand it either.

It's probably less about the coffee at that point and more an excuse to get out of the office and see the sun with someone they can gossip with. I can understand that.

I've played this game since launch and bought more than my fair share of crowns, yet my grand total of crowns still doesn't amount to what you're currently sitting on. No idea if to sit here in awe at you or laugh.

I should just thank him, he's probably funding the next couple of DLCs single-handedly !

is there anyway to purchase multiple 5500 crowns pack at once or the only way is to do it one by one?

I just did some math. It's been about 4 months since I began playing this game and I spent total of about $450, which comes out to about $113 per month. That's scary. I won't spend any more money for the next 8 months for sure and it'll bring my average monthly expense down to $38/mo. If I don't spend more money for the next 20 months, which can happen, it'll bring it down to $18.75/mo. I'll be really stingy with my Crown moving forward.

good post...i have to imagine with the monthly sub, plus crowns I've purchased, plus morrowind I'm probably at around $25 or so a month for this year right now...

I'm not sure if I'll buy more crowns this time around...still don't have the banker or merchant, but, I haven't really run in to any inventory issues lately while questing/exploring/farming...

thankfully I'm not into housing or crown store mounts...or, any of the cosmetic stuff...

my two new wardens could definitely use some more speed and stamina lessons, but, with rapid maneuvers I'm able to get around okay...

probably just sit on the 8k or so crowns I already have...

I've occasionally gotten a Starbucks omw to work if taking public transit in. That's not too abnormal. Making four trips in a single day however, all I have to say is EESH!

I'm judging a bit, but honestly, it's their money. If I wanted to light a twenty dollar bill on fire, that's my prerogative
