Yes, and therefore I understand that ZOS needs to make a profit in order to keep providing me with games to play and that the Crown Store is a way to do that.

No. Even though I have no idea of their cost structure, P&L, or margin goals, I'm convinced they either make enough, or too much money.

No. ZOS should make the game for free.

    Right, like introducing P2W features. Which ZOS isn't likely to do.

    If you're talking about the occasional class or item balance, or unexpected server downtime. That's annoying but not exactly line-crossing territory. But I guess that depends on one's sense of entitlement.

    Is there a achievement for a certain number of polls or why this meaningless poll-threads lately?

    The line is quite simple ... the day they put a single piece of gear in the crown store that makes you better at combat than what you could get otherwise would be crossing a line. They have never done that and have said repeatedly they never will.

    Other than that, make your money ZOS. Capitalism is ok.

    I laugh at people who act like ZOS should run this game for artistic reasons and operate it as a socialist charity.

    This meaningless poll was designed to show the ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity of the other meaningless crown store polls.

    No. I also don't understand physics. That's why I'm certain the earth is flat.

    The issue here is does ZOS' Marketing Dept understand marketing, not if I understand economics
    Pushing customers away with too much, too in your face advertising is not good practice

    Clearly, someone else does economics & is pushing the bounds of what the market will bear with crown store pricing, but as long as the whales pay the prices asked
    and my sub remains value I really dont care about the crown store & will use an Ad-blocker, until I cannot, to curb the marketing excess

    It doesn't take knowledge of economics to understand that if you want the fire to keep burning you need to fuel it.

    Greetings, after review we've determined that this thread is overly baiting in nature and inherently causes itself to derail. For this reason we have decided to close it. Thank you for your understanding.
