Still buying crowns?

Okay so I made a poll about crown sales, but then another thing struck me....
Are you still going to buy crowns in the near future, or are you going to hold out until they put a sale up?

    Current full price is way too high for Crown packages. No reason not to wait until a 40% off sale to spend money.

    I'll buy them on sale in order to get the DLCs and hope that ZOS doesn't release any costumes/mounts/houses that test my resolve in the meantime.

    Never have I ever bought crowns. I have bought 2 months of ESO+ - first month was last year during Orsinium event and the last time was during Summer 2017. (When double bankspace was included in the perks) I might buy another month of ESO+ in the future tho.

    I still have some crowns leftover from my subscription, so hopefully I can hold out till the next sale. (as in whatever might show up for direct purchase that I might want is either long duration, or I can afford to grab with my current crowns without needing to buy more)

    I don't buy crowns often at all, I usually just spend my ESO+ crowns, but I am switching a stamblade to a magblade and want to do a race change. I'll suck it up for that, but otherwise i wouldn't bother.

    About this time last year, I stocked up on Crowns during a sale. But between Homestead being free, Morrowind not being purchase-able with Crowns, and not much in the way of costumes or mounts that I liked, I'm still sitting on most of them.

    This is my situation as well. Add to that, that there are things I'd like to buy now that are either locked behind crates or no longer in the store. I actually skipped the last crown sale, though I was expecting to pick up some more this fall. Even so, with sub renewals, I'll probably have enough to just wait for the next crown sale to happen.

    Refuse is a strong word. I don't find them to be finacially efficent if not on sale. Since i am only using them to buy DLC. I don't need to buy them constantly just whenever the oppotunity presents itself.

    I'll get clockwork eventually. I just don't need it right now.

    If you are in a good finacial position and feel like spending the money on cosmetics go ahead buy crowna when they are not on sale. Its your money do what you want.

    Potentially still get some Crowns if something that catches my eye ends up in the Crown store in coming weeks,
    but no arbitrarily large purchases unless they do a Christmas sale

    Typically on Xbox one if and when we buy eso Plus it’s buying crowns at regular price.

    I’m not against buying crowns outside of a sale but i do plan to hold out as i still have over 7k as i save most for dlc and some occasional cosmetics.

    I'll buy them, but I'll spend less $.

    In other words, I'm willing to spend more $$$ if I get more in return. So while I dropped a couple hundred on the last crown sale I'm unlikely to buy more than a single $40 pack at full price in the foreseeable future.

    I have no problem paying for crowns... it's just that lately crowns don't go as far as they once did. The gouging is getting obvious. 2,500 for a costume, 400-1,000 for single decorations... meh.

    Pretty much mine situation too, sits on over 10K crowns. Har 18 crate crystals and will go for an hood in the existing collection before it disappear.
    Nothing else I want hard.

    Well they didnt make a black friday crown sale so I dont think they will be making crown sales again specially with the bigger crown packages they put now.

    I bought a lot of crowns on sale before and won't buy anymore crowns unless they go on sale again, if they go on sale again.
