Maintenance for the week of April 15:
• [COMPLETE] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 16, 8:00AM EDT (12:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
It's all of the bonuses taken together. I might sub just for the craft bag and bank space, but I wouldn't feel good about it, because storage is a ZOS-created problem. However, packaged with the other benefits, I feel as though I am getting something "extra" for my monthly payment.
I think most of us that sub realized long ago that I cost much less to just buy the DLCs outright. The only reason I sub is the crafting bag and would not play this game without it.
I enjoy the Crafting Bag, DLC access AND Crowns. Those Crowns per month are just a nice bonus I guess. It's kind of a packaged deal tho...get ESO+ and you get all three. Not terrible...much worse it could be..

Templar (Khajiit) - Drops-the-Ball
Templar (Altmer) - Lyranil of Alinor
Necromancer (Altmer) - Kalomyr
Sorcerer (Dunmer) - Lord Eldruin
All of the above bonuses but crowns are an important part to look at imo because you actually get a decent amount aside all those awesome features. The way I look at is this (based on prices here):
5500 Crown Pack = $40
9000 Crown ESO+ = $78 (6 month sub)
So I can buy 11,000 crowns, and get 2000 crowns more for only $2 more. But then I think of the value of the 2000 deficit and I can safely say losing 2000 crowns for the bonuses is totally worth it.
I also have one of the big clan halls for a house so I appreciate double decoration space like you wouldn't believe. Craft bag is convenience, but quite frankly I could live without it these days, storage is abundant.
As for the DLC access, I use this as a way to gauge if I want to end up buying the DLC or just get it from the sub. If I like the product I'll invest more.
I think ESO+ is simply the best value for your money even if you get less crowns out of it

Everything is useful some things more than others. But dlc/craft bag/various 10% boosts/bank space are more than enough to justify the cost to me.
If I am totally honest though I've been subbed since the second day i played.Given how much I play it 15 per month will hardly break the bank. By day 2 I am usually able to tell if i will be playing long enough to make the subscription worth it.
People on these forums give zos a lot of flack for being money grabbers and while some items are expensive to buy the upside is the collection system which allows you "split" the cost between however many characters you play.
all of the above
ESO+ offers alot for 13€? a month (3 month sub for me)

To support a game that has given me untold hours of fun but the other things are a nice perk (especially craft bag, gawd it sucked before that was introduced).
The crafting bag, and too a lesser extent the double bank space, then the story DLCs
as the crafting bag allows me to have alts not mules playing with bank manager add-on
and for the cost a 3 high street coffees (which I hate anyway) it is well worth it

In about 3 days after trying out the game, my bank and bag were full of crafting materials and I hated not being able to loot everything I found. So, since I've always paid subscription for every MMO I've deemed worth playing, it was no big deal to pay for this one, too. The game is also good enough that they deserve to be supported, and the other subscription perks - especially the full DLC access - don't hurt, either.
I support the game for multiple reasons. The Craft Bag, DLC, more bank space, more gold...... are big reasons, but I also support this game, because it's giving us all a fun place to join our friends/make new friends and leave RL behind for a couple of hours. I only wish. It wasn't so laggy during peak hours and in busy areas.
Craft bag primarily but also access to DLCs, also double transmute and bank space are nice touch. Even if you would remove everything else and leave only bag+DLC I would still sub. In case of only craft bag without DLC... I would think if I would pay this (I dont know from this point if I would sub it).
The game feels absolutely broken to me without the craft bag. I certainly enjoy a few of the perks that come along with it but they're just extra bonuses for not having to deal with the horrendous inventory management. Since launch, I've left the game twice for a good chunk of time because of this.
I've finally come around and don't have a problem with subscribing because It's an MMO and it's the only way I can financially support the game without feeling like I'm being ripped off. The overpriced crown store, gambling crates and their associated funny moneys aren't an option for me anymore.
To support the game, but, as a hoarder, I really appreciate the craft bag and extra inventory. I play enough hours each month that it's a very inexpensive form of entertainment so would still subscribe without the other benefits. If I was only playing a couple hours on the weekends, I'd rethink the subscription but would probably keep it since even just the crowns given offset the cost and allow for the eventual purchase of the DLC or many other things.
