The root of the Welkynar Motif SNAFU

No fluff intro needed for this post, the root issue here is very simple:

Any item that has a game achievement attached SHOULD NOT be offered in the Crown store.

The most egregious example to date is the Welkynar motif, an item obtainable in game that has an achievement attached to collecting it. Please stop putting in-game achievement items in the Crown store. Inevitably you have succumbed to the temptation to make it INCREDIBLY difficult to obtain in game while very easy to obtain for those with cash. This trend you've been on has reached Pay2Win levels and this is not the first time.

No respectable company should behave this way. Get your act together ZOS. I'm disgusted by what your marketing strategies are doing to this otherwise excellent game.

This issue has nothing to do with prices in the Crown Store. You can offer items for any price you want as long as you don't violate this simple and obvious principle. STOP IT. I've spent well over $500 this year alone and satisfied with doing it - BUT STOP GRABBING AT OUR WALLETS for achievement items. You need to have two categories of items - one for in-game acquisition and one for Crown store acquisition. IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE if you want people to respect you and this game.
