    And to make matters worse, the Entire Motif was available in the last set of crown crates for 200 gems.

    Well, I finally finished it the hard way, and without losing my sanity along with @Cpt_Teemo, so that's a small victory, I think.

    A small victory? A SMALL Victory?

    Yeah, the last three pages cost me 400k. Small victories.

    EDIT: I found 5 or 6 pages, purchased the rest over time. I bought heads at one point, then got a head about a week later. I didn't spend thousands of hours farming, but with about 40 hours wandering around Vvardenfell poking every chest I found, I trust @Cpt_Teemo's numbers.

    I've gotten, like, 3 pages from simple chests. Including BA Chest page out of a simple in nHoF.

    To be fair, I've probably only cracked, like, 3k chests to get 5 pages. You don't want to know what Teemo was doing.

    Its better for Elder scrolls to avoid these practices. People bought this game because of the respect of elder scrolls and skyrim. This is not right for legendary game publisher. Dont go in wrong direction. Come on. Dont spoil your respect. Dont become another EA or ubisoft. You dont have to earn money like this. Its really ugly for a legendary Elder scrolls game for the name they earned for so long.

    It's the classic glass motif from TES3. As with a lot of stuff on Vvardenfell, this runs on weaponized nostalgia.

    I remember buying this motif from Guild Traders just before they put this in the Crown Store the first time. Was baffled by their choice of price then, and Im still baffled by it now.

    Not that I cant see why theyre doing it. But why they think ripping off customers, primarily newer players, is a good business plan. Once these customers realize theyve been had, theyll be much more skeptical of making large purchases in the future. And since new players are likely the biggest purchasers in games like this. It seems like theyre shooting themselves in the foot.

    I still can’t believe that the Dark Brotherhood house was priced that high. Especially being that about a third of it is inaccessible. Then ZOS’ marketing team somehow thought it was a good luck to have a statue cost over 3k crowns. Lmao. Now the Celestial motif is marked as a discount of 5k crowns, from its original of 6k crowns. :D

    Whoever is in charge of ZOS’ marketing team either needs to be sat down, and had a stern talking to. Or simply let go. They’re so out of touch with things, it’s scary. It’s actually scary.
