    Unfortunately yes but they are incredibly well done, wonderful voices and animations .... also you can have all 4 assistants in a house if you so desire.

    does the new ones have the same limited functionality as the old ones? if so, i have to pass as well because i have enough cats for housing and anyway out of slots. so i cant place them without destroying another thing. if the trader cant repair (again) there is no reason for me.
    another missed sell and tbh... just the offer for the same price with no extended functionality, which would just make more headache in housing... i perceive as pretty rude.

    These cats don’t count in as the same type of furniture as the cats you already have in your house. Assistants are a different kind of collectible. Also yes, they only buy and bank, no repairs or guild store access.

    ZOS, you are disgusting! This is a big middle finger to all those loyal players who already own a Banker and Merch. Thanks a lot ZOS.
    Had you been in any way reasonable, you would have at least sold a skin to change our current banker / merch to the new Kitty one, say for 1000 crowns, but no your money grabbing miserly attributes really shine through here.

    Thank you!!

    I'm glad that I never bought the banker or merchant. The new banker will be mine today. The merchant sometime before they go away.

    LOL. All it takes to get players to finally fork over 5k crowns for each assistant is to make them into cats.

    Yep, 5k crowns each. Just making them into cats gets some players to finally throw money at the assistants.

    Its an complex topic and we cannot blame ZoS really...
    But i agree they should have a different cost for someone who already "collected" the other assistants... Like half the price, for instance

    After 3 years the wait is finally over. I wanted a merchant who wasn’t Nuzimeh and I got it. Thank you Zos!! Now just release the Imperial banker/ Altmer merchant pair you’ve been hiding so I can buy the Imperial and be content lol

    This is Zos we are talking about, there is no way they would ever do an upgrade/discount unless sales of the cats were so low that they had to.

    It's not complex at all. ZOS are getting greedier and more short sighted by the day.

    Love'em, but I've been experiencing hella pathing issues with them. I would have liked if they were a little cheaper if you already had an assistant in that category, because its not like you're paying for the whole utility again. But I saved up my sub crowns and bought the original banker half off, so I'm not upset about how much I spent on them in total. More kinda peeved that Fezez keeps teleporting under terrain when I try to talk to him.

    Im not quite sure any sane person would pay 5-10k YET AGAIN for the same task. I'll pass on those cats even though they are adorable.

    What they should have done is just make everyone buy the originals for 5,000 each if they want the functionality, whether they want the original appearance or not.

    The additional appearance options, which would be available at a lower price (2,000 crowns for example), would start out grayed out in the store but become purchasable after you've bought the originals.

    Yes, the people who only want the alfiq (or whatever future skins come along) will complain that they're buying merchants they don't use, but it makes it fair for everybody for the remainder of the life of the game without blatantly gouging those who have already paid 5,000 (x2) crowns for the functionality. but now want to use a different skin.

    Zos needs to hire this person for marketing, He would have introduced the new assistants in such a way as to not upset current players, and would have made MORE money for ZOS.
    Maybe its not to late to change the way the new skins for the assistants are purchased, maybe they can update it in the next change to the crown store listings.
    As it is I will pass on the new assistants, don't want to pay for the same service again.

    Yeah.. I'm adding my "NO" vote here as well. Shame, really... A cat would be the perfect substitute for Tythis. You summon him, he walks off, you chase.. Cat behavior if ever I saw it.

    I love the look of these two... *__*

    BUT....

    I already have the regular banker and merchant. And I would have *immediately* bought the cat banker and merchant, if they had been like... 2000 crowns... apiece for those of us who already own the regular ones.

    But forking out another 10.000 crowns just to have another look, no matter *how* cute they are?
    Nope. Sorry... not this time. No matter how hard it is for me to resist. But I'd rather invest in some of the new things coming out than pay the same price for something that I already have...

    A special discount for ESO+ members would have been in order, I think.
    This way? No.
