Absolutely ridiculous amount lol, but so is pretty much everything in the crown store which is why I'm not buying any.

Seems like a reasonable understandable price to me, since it's an un-necessary 'convenience' feature. The more actually 'required' something is, the less it should cost. But lazy luxuries like the banker & merchant? Sure, go nuts. /shrug
- for the record, I'd never buy one. I don't need them.
("Convenience" is frequently a high-cost thing. Take soda for instance - a can of soda in your hotel-room minibar costs $4+, a can of soda in the every-few-floors soda machine that you have to walk to costs $2, a can of soda from a convenience store that you had to leave the hotel & go down the block to costs $1, and a can of soda that you went to a distributor & bought by the case costs $0.25)

I do wonder whether they wouldn't make a lot more money with much reduced prices. If these items cost something like 3-6 dollars each I figure a lot more people would buy them. But I assume they put their analysts to work and calculated the most profitable prices.
I think the analysts are wrong, then.
I'm not suggesting they should reduce them to 3-6 dollars, as I think they would probably lose on that, relative to what they could otherwise make; even if almost everyone then bought them.
But, I suspect that if they reduced them to somewhere in the £20 region they would still sell plenty of them and would probably make more money than they currently do.
You have to look at what other games charge for things like store mounts - WoW, for example, charge £19.
Also, you have to look at what percentage of active players buy them at the current price.
If it's only (say) 1 in 5, or less, that seems low to me for such a useful item.

It really should be a magic Bag of Storage and Bag of Devouring or Portable Hole instead of invincible no-aggro companions who can run as fast as your skill 60 mount.how can a cat even bank stuff and it being smaller wont help
The only thing that matters is how much revenue it generates. And if ZOS gets more (or even just comaprable) revenue from selling "exclusive" high-price items to small amount of players than a bunch of cheap things to more players, they will keep on doing it that way.

Yes.... I already know that’s not cheap....
The pricing in general has become fairly classless. Love the game and appreciate the work that goes into it but not offering a deal for older players who spent an already large sum of crowns on the assistants is fairly insulting.

Personally I prefer the actual people. It makes your homes more loved in and not just a crazy cat lady home
