Grim Harlequin Motif

Fleshreaper

Why was this only in the Crown Store for a few days? Any change of bringing it back for a few days. I was really wanting to get this set and some how still missed it.

Knootewoot

WOOHOO i got it. And it is awesome.

They don't actually want anyone to have it.
If they wanted people to have it, they'd have put it in the crown store all month. The only logical explanation as to why it was only there three (four?) days is that they didn't actually want our money. At least that's the only explanation I can come up with.

They made it rare to generate artificial scarcity, but accidentally made it so rare that no one can buy it

They are training you to click the "buy now" button when you see anything that piques your interest.

They usually plop this one into the crown stores only for a few days before the witches festival event. So it was last year, so it was this year... I expect it to be like this next year.
And yeah, it can be a little annoying, like it was when I missed it last year... but so I grabbed it this year. -shrugs-

It's because Zenimax has become such a rich company that they've decided they don't need our money anymore.

Pretty much.

I had been watching for it, as I knew it should be out this month. I was prepared to buy crowns just to get this Motif. I guess the jokes on them, they just saved me some money.

@Fleshreaper

You can contact customer service and ask them to sell it to you anyways. They have done this before for people with limitied time housing sales. I'd venture a guess they'd do it for a motif. Worth a shot anyways if you don't want to wait for next year.

Nailed it on the head. It's a disgusting sales tactic.

The first year it was on the Crown Store, I saw it but didn't have the crowns at the time. I have looked for it, every year sense but have not seen it. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to show back up. And I just learned about the Crown Show Case, so I looked at last months and there it was, 15-18. I never would have thought it would not have been available the whole holiday event.

I missed it last year and waited a whole year to get it finally. There are a couple Motifs like that, that only come around for a few days at holidays...Stalhrim Frostcaster comes to mind.

I got it this year thanks to someone that had the crowns and accepted gold for them, or else I wouldn't have gotten it.

Yep, I was planning to buy it and my eso plus was renewing two days after the time limit was to run out so I didn’t buy it. Oh well.

favorite motif.
