The accursed luxury vendor

Nerouyn

I've been waiting to see if maybe, just maybe those accursed luxury vendor items might repeat, because I refuse to buy them at inflated prices from players and I missed an item that should never have been on that vendor - the bosmer flowers, which are even on the damned loading screen for their houses.

I have the BenevolentBowd site bookmarked and visit it most weekends. But I didn't last weekend. So utterly fed up was I with having to repeat the godawful daily horse feeding grind for my new wardens, crafting writs and legerdemain that I needed to take a total break from ESO. Then I check the site today and see the damn flowers came back last weekend. So now if I want them I have to wait another year.

Crap like this is what leaves me feeling like ESO is just not worth the effort.

Sorry? A lot of games and MMOs have limited time items, especially cosmetic ones. You forgot to check. Sucks, but it is what it is.

For what it's worth, the market is flooded with them right now, so prices are low. Just buy some on a guild trader.

. Of all the things to complain about, you are complaining about not getting cosmetic flowers item for your cosmetic house....
I mean I haven't been able to log in because of the steam bug and I am not even as mad as you are over these flowers.

Priorities.

Okay so the grind aspect of the game is "apparently" a lot less of an issue in this game than in basically all other MMOs. Perhaps you just don't like MMOs?, Did you just want to play skyrim?

All these things, writs, horse feeding grinding levels of skills are just busy work. Ignore them, they don't actually matter. Oh no! you missed a daily, good thing you can do it tomorrow. If you aren't enjoying an activity don't do that activity its a game go have fun.

If you are struggling with anxiety with regards to the game just putting all this busy work on you everyday like a job you have to do all this stuff because you can actually go and enjoy yourself. Take a breath, and skip them for a few days (like you apparently have) and realise it doesn't matter.

Worst thing about the luxury vendor is that 90% of the stuff sucks.

Well seems they start to repeat for example last week, repeat and add more to furnishing from last year.

Personally, I'm still pretty irked because all but one of my characters have a bug that leaves almost all my characters unplayable (seriously, a six second bar swap is just miserable).

Not sure which of us got the worst end of that deal. You can't log in at all, I'm stuck with characters that don't work.

Still, missing out on the flowers is not the end of the world. They're cool, but they're not 75k cool. Take the time you need to avoid burnout. The game's fun, but it is not worth your mental health. Also, they're probably cheaper right now, if you hunt around.

a) That's a super weak defence of a stupid system and b) I'm not mad. I'm over it.

Can I really? Wow. I'd never heard of that website!

I agree. There's only been a tiny handful things on that vendor that are even remotely appealing to me. These flowers were unfortunately among the first and I missed them the first time by several months.

As I said with crystal clarity in the OP, I refuse to do that. I'd rather play something else.

That's 3 stupid comments in defence of ESO all ended with a question mark. What an interesting coincidence.

Obviously it's their fault. Their stupid daily horse feeding grind. Their stupid limited time madness.

And I'm frankly amazed that there wasn't an announcement that they going to start repeating stuff.

Try Better Business Bureau. They've helped me when I've had bugged characters which developers have refused to fix and have helped me with ESO when I got stuck in one of their insane CS "please reply to this email if your problem hasn't magically fixed itself" loops.

They have no official authority but they can often help. And failing that, you've paid for this product and have rights. If your character is bugged and they don't fix it, they're breaking the law. You could also file a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission and or your local equivalent. They generally don't deal with individual complaints but if enough pile up they might act.

Not gonna bother quoting you cause you did it all in 1 post

But in response to your last interaction with me, it is possible (at least on EU PC) to find the items at not tbat much higher than the price sold at luxury vendor. If you can't find them, or refuse to do so, then I guess that's on you

Jhalin

Items are released on a weekly schedule at the same time as always. This game may be hot garbage for many reasons, but you deciding not to check on what was offered for three days is not one of those reasons.

I have some for sale, if you're on PC-NA?

There are peach wedding flowers this week if you don't mind a color other than blue, if you just really want to get them directly from the vendor.

Just a heads-up that the same flower in a different colour is for sale at the Luxury vendor this weekend.
In case you want it. Don't miss out!
