Would you pay $25 a month for ESO if ALL micro-transactions were removed?

Smokewood

If not, how much would you be willing to spend per month?

bloodthirstyvampire

Heck no, no way!

That means no cosmetics AND I NEED COSMETICS!!! honestly as long as it doesn't effect gameplay they can do what ever

Kikke

You do know that both WoW and FFXIV have micro-transaction shops, even tho both are fully subscription based. Right?

Smokewood

Yes, of course!

If you make enough gold in WoW you can play as though it were B2p

Alpheu5

Assuming they kept adding quality content available for gold as frequently as they have crown seasons and limited time sales? Maybe.

Betsararie

Heck no, no way!

Nope?

Morgul667

I would give it a try but based on zos nee trend i feel they will ask crown contrnt anyway so in the end i would drop it

Overall Im gonna go with no

When you say removed, do you mean that all the things in the store are either included in the game or in game unlocks? If that's what you're saying then it's still no, but I'm not huge into cosmetics.

If you're saying that the microtransactions simply disappear then still no. I like my extra character slots.

Basically, they've come too far now. Had they stayed with a sub from the start, it would be fine now, but the game is designed around microtransactions. You can't just strip them away that easily without massive changes. More than likely the extra $10 they'd be getting from some players wouldn't even come close to the lost mircrotransaction revenue anyway.

I meant removed as in no need for them because all items would be included in the game.

I would bet not. I would bet that a vast majority of players are NOT ESO+ members.

Luigi_Vampa

Yes, of course!

If they still put out DLC the way they are and all the crown store stuff would become buyable by gold or achivements then yeah, I would absolutely pay $25 for ESO.

Rohamad_Ali

Yes, of course!

If we got all the cosmetics and mounts from quests and loyalty rewards , yes . Definitely .

themaddaedra

Yes, of course!

If that's gonna stop them from hiding all the cool stuff behind either huge paywalls (like houses) or RNG orboth of them at once (like crown crates) then yes, i would definitely pay $25 for ESO per month.

jerj6925

Heck no, no way!

Until they prove they can release a working product no, they have been collecting mounds and mounds of cash and still cant release a working product. give them more money??? no.

former monthly subscriber for a year, not anymore.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Yes, of course!

If I could buy my cosmetics with in-game gold.

If that case, I'd be more inclined to pay more than I am currently. You'd be very hard pressed to get people that are currently not subbed to pay $25 though. The playerbase would dwindle considerably. As you mentioned, it's likely a minority of players that are ESO+ right now. You could see half the players just up and leave if they can no longer play for free every month. They may even have spent loads of money in the crown store, but have no intention of ever subbing.

Waffennacht

Heck no, no way!

Why would I pay for less content?

Do you mean I pay 25 bucks and I get cosmetics etc along with it (same with everyone else)? Still no.

I like free. Right now it's free (aside from like Xbox live etc) and I like to keep it that way

I payed $15 a month for a year, then quit for a year after the game went B2P, so I'm sure you can guess how I feel about this. In case you can't, here it is: Real-word money for in-game ANYTHING is the exact opposite of "good game." A developer or designer who would implement this has no business being in game development or design.

Now, I came back to the game, so obviously I feel there's enough good here to offset the bad, but the fact still remains that anyone who should have a job at a gaming company should have been incapable of implementing Tamriel Unlimited.

Mind you (and, as I've already stated on one thread today), I tend to blame the players for this much more than ZOS. ZOS wanted to stay in business. That's fair. Players refused to allow them to do this under the only--the only--acceptable model, which is Sub-only. So the playerbase fundamentally failed and deserves bad, not good.



That said, you cannot put the tootpaste back in the tube--or in this case, the poop back in the butt.

Bevik

Heck no, no way!

Can someone explain what is the problem with microtransactions here? I mean you can buy cosmetics, research scrolls, xp scrolls, DLCs, etc. It's not pay to win. Can we just stop with this thing?

What is "win?" Different players have different goals. Your definition is narrow.

AlienatedGoat

Would pay $25 or more if crates were removed and 95% of cosmetics were repurposed to be obtainable in-game.

Ohtimbar

Yes, of course!

Yes and yes, assuming you mean the same amount of content, but for a flat monthly fee.

grizzledcroc

IMO WOW DOES NOT HAVE A MICRO SHOP. It sells like maybe 6 mounts, ever only putting maybe 1 or 2 a year FOR CHARITY and every expac adds a insane amount of mounts earnable ingame all of which are VERY GOOD looking.

efduncanub17_ESO

Heck no, no way!

why when WoW is still sub model at only 15 a month with minimal micro

No probably not but ESO+ is still popular enough that chapters are not included.
Now if the ESO++ worked like ESO+ as in you got access to all cosmetic as long as you paid for it, you would not get unlimited consumables.
Then it expires you would loose any you did not own same as eso+ and dlc.
It would be an pretty fun deal, probably not worth it for ZOS as it would make the radiant apex mounts far more common.

WrathOfInnos

Yes, of course!

If there was a $25 monthly sub that granted access to all the micro transaction content I would do that for sure. Access to every costume, mount, skin, houses, housing items, outfit slots, character slots, and anything ever in crown crates. Sign me up!

However, if you are suggesting removing all these types of cosmetics from the game then I would be opposed to the idea.

CaffeinatedMayhem

Other - How much would you?

I already pay $15/mo, so why $25? I'm fine with ONLY cosmetics, but would prefer more reasonable prices. If the game went subscription only again, could probaby be $15/mo for no crown store at all.

Vapirko

Heck no, no way!

Only because I don't care much about the cosmetic stuff and I really cant see spending more money every month. This game is fine to play casually a couple hours every couple of days or so, but there are too many frustrating issues in the game that start to become a real drag after extended play to invest more in it.

NewBlacksmurf

Heck no, no way!

I’d rather there be no eso plus or crowns.
Sale us dlc and cosmetics etc directly

Nyghthowler

Other - How much would you?

I refuse to pay even more to support the cheap-ass B2P crowd that expects to receive everything for free simply because they purchased the base game.
I already sub to the game to support it, even though the main priority seems to be developing new items for the gamble boxes.

phaneub17_ESO

Heck no, no way!

I'm waiting on the next crown sale to get two packs of the 21k then buy a manor and a bunch of appearance changes.
