ZOS , you just destroyed the ESO economy by 6 months.

Currently 3 of the top selling things Motifs,Recipes and furniture BP are so saturated with back to back events plus the extension that it will over supply an already saturated market. YOUR servers fail so WE take the hit .

Do you ever think of the fallout from these moves?


You have major major parts of the economy selling at a 50-70% discount. Those taxes are no longer going to Guilds. Further more with the amount of Sales in Zone chat, guild Trader traffic is down.So when time comes Sunday for Guilds to bid they will be casting this loss to its members who are making less with what’s transpired.

I could care less about a MOTIF that I could buy 10 times over with a healthy economy.

Since you compensated the players who couldn’t farm endlessly for relics for the WC motif. What compensation are you giving us who could care less. You will have cost me millions in gold with this move.

You have just turned over 50% of the ESO market into hollowjack motifs.

Not a happy customer.

I think you mean "diluted". Anyway, Jasper, the technical things they can't help. And I think it would be much more problematic for them to not have extended the event date with all these problems causing so much downtime.

The problem is DOWN THE ROAD. Cool and awesome everyone gets the motif then what. A overly saturated market that has Trafers and Inventories full of worthless motifs. Months worth of players trying to flush this out in chat.

Again THEIR severs fail and WE pay the $$&.

The fair move would have to of been to mail all EU accounts who logged in for the event a WC motif book. That would have had minimal effect on the economy and made it up to the EU players

I'm glad they did this. I know players on the EU server have been pretty upset and while we on the NA server may seem to be benefiting more from this, I think it'll all be good.

I've already made over 4 mil selling motifs and recipes. I will not complain if motif and recipe prices drop for a while, although i suspect a fair portion of the player base will tired well before the end of the event of farming dailies so I doubt the market will stay flooded for that long afterwards. Besides there are other things to sell--things like mats, gear and pots that players will still need--and overall this event has been great in energizing sales, and I believe it will continue to do so. I've selling various other things that sat in my guild stores for weeks when no one was buying anything. It actually has me worried that I'll have nothing to sell once the event ends because I'm selling everything so fast.

I can live if my extra WC pages don't sell for 100k after the event. I never thought they should be that rare in the first place. Every player should have the chance to farm it themselves if they invest the time, that's my stance. There's so many ways to make gold in this game, it's dumb to think you were going to make a killing off on one thing. Go be mad if you want. I''ll just be here counting all my gold I earned from selling at lower prices because I know there are always ways to make more gold and selling something cheap today is never really a loss.

jazsper77

I have 350,000,000 gold on my 46 toons combined, so please keep your gold boasting to yourselves. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NO ONE IS MAKING MONEY THERE NORMAL WAY. They run to farm mats,gear et now SATURATING that part of the market.
It’s a domino effect but I hate trying to explain economics to players who’s parents still pay their bills.

Thank you ZOS for extending the event. That does a lot for your street cred, which is good in these parts.

cynaes

Thank you.

Any chance for a more detailed explanation of the server issues?

I'm really not insulting, but you have over a quarter of a billion gold and this extra week of the event is actually upsetting you?

GamerAeryn

YYYAAAASSSSS!!!!

((hugs from NA))

bongtokin420insd16

Very nice.

While I'm grateful for the compensation...

1) What happened to NA?
2) Another week of chores isn't my idea of fun

You have 365mln gold and yet you are whining about prices drop? The nerve... I bet you still run all over Tamriel and flip items, so a casual like me can't get a good deal - because I actually want to play the game, not some freaking economy simulator
I'm glad I have few days more to complete my Worm Cult Motif, because if I haven't, greedy pricks like you would make me bankrupt, while sitting on their hundreds of millions.

poor guy, sorry for you, really!
Oh, and I pay my bills myself, I work RL for money, no time like you to play all day with 46 chars and nuking the economics of the game.
The poor rich, I feel with you!
Really!

Rich people always get mad when other people have fun and they make less money because of it.

Rich people are always destined for misery if they find the happiness of regular people unacceptable, scary that is exactly how it is in real life.

Awesome ZOS thank you And to the whiners just log out for the next week and it should be all good

Cheers, this helps!

This one is pleased.

This festival is not only full of delicious loot but is also a great way to 'level the sands' a bit yes.

Those with free time, those who have been a round a while - those travellers can make good coin all year from the things they do.

Once a year this is a chance for newer travellers and those of us who think all of our skills they are called 'stabby thing' to catch up a bit. The crafters, flower pickers, gentle wanderers among us yes - this is a great boost to them.

There will soon no doubt be new, rare and expensive motifs and those that can will make their coin from obtaining and selling those. Not to mention shiny things related activities.

Yours with paws
