ESO Crown Sale will miss the Tax Refund window

Oh well ... I guess the money burning a whole in my pocket can go somewhere else.

Wait a minute, WHAT Crown Sale?! O.o

Is there going to be a Crown Sale soon or something?

Well, it's a tax refund window in only one country. I guarantee every country has different tax dates.

Even if this is the case, it's a tax refund in one of the top spending countries on Earth so you understand the point OP is making without having to say this. It's still a valid point regardless.

OP, ZOS used to offer crown sales like once every few months when the game launched. They were practically begging to sell crowns because the crown store had very little in it and not nearly as many people were purchasing them. Now they don't care to offer sales as often because it was never about customer satisfaction or appreciation to them, it was about trying to get a failing digital store to catch on. They eventually acquired a larger install base and began offering more things in the store (plus scam crates) so they no longer need the influx of sales like they did in the past. I wouldn't expect a sale more than once or twice a year. They love the marketing ploy of creating false scarcity. The best thing you can do is vote with your wallet unfortunately...that is the quickest way to get a company to listen.

Not to mention, some people might have already gotten their refunds. I always do my taxes beginning of February.

There are things I would have purchased if I'd had the crowns, but I stocked up at Christmas and they haven't gone on sale since. The crown prices for things are honestly too high even with crowns purchased at a discount, so they will get no more money from me until my sub runs out in 4 months or a crown sale.

woufff

This crown non-sale is getting on my nerfs (just kidding) but no way I'm buying them at full price

Lol, according to the majority of generic posts on this forum. We are all on PC and all in the US.

What sale? Did I miss something?

For those in the US that get refunds they usually file pretty early to get their money,
Those of us that have to pay wait until the last minute

My takeaway is that OP's world has mirrors instead of windows. And he's a procrastinator.

Also, what crown sale?

AgentRed

I was really wishing they would have a sale during their anniversary and for tax returns I would have bought a lot

That's so true. The best posts are the ones that are super generic with a problem easily addressed on PC with add-ons and then only later go "I'm on console..."

Its why I like to specify PC/NA Vivec when I talk about PVP, because EU and all the other platforms exist too.

Americans have it so tough. Maybe we could swap and you could have my ping.

Not always.

"ALL ABOARD! Last train to Procrastination Station!"

Edit: Then there is the typical government "hurry up and wait".
