Why do you pay for ESO pluss ? Craftbag ?

Mefromnorway

I been member since day 1 ESO come to PlayStation and only reason i still pay is for craftbag, now its gone soon 1 week with a useless craftbag. And still no info when it will be fixed,

so my Question is why should i still pay for something not working ? Or is time for stop pay for a game i feel should had beta title with all error and bugs and lag this game had all years and after evry time its mainteance or update i think and i know many do. What went wrong this time

. I know so many people stop play this game and i understand why. So can i get a answear from ESO why should i still pay for ESO pluss when its not working the only reason i pay for. Sorry for my spelling and its hard to explain but i think you understand why im mad and No info when it will be fixed.

Yep Craftbag

bank is a tiny bonus
DLC Dungeons is a huge put off, but outweiged by that bag!

Lady_Galadhiel

More (double) furniture slots in homes,craftbag is for me just a bonus.

remosito

cancelled after no cp scaling in u29... no plans to resub. reason was craftbag plus storylines.

MalEducado

random dg wit the eso plus on is a pain in the ass...but craft bag is awesome

AuraStorm43

Canceled it cuz on PS4 i can’t even access my craft bag due to the bugs ZOS refuses to fix

I used to pay for ESO+ to access DLC zones, but eventually collected them all from the crown stipends. Then it was just so I could collect all the skill points for every character from dlc dungeons. Now I only take up a month's sub when I need it.

I've subscribed on my original account since PC launch, adding a second account shortly afterwards which I also subscribe for, and I do so because I love the game and want to support it. I'm not interested in competitive PvP or PvE and on that basis have had no significant performance or other issues since I started. The ESO+ package is a good one and for me it's not simply about the crafting bag. I use the free crowns mainly to buy houses as I'm not a trader and so can't afford to buy them with gold. I benefit from the DLCs as well as the increased storage space etc. For me it's a no-brainer and I subscribe on a 6 monthly basis.

I don’t simply because of random que dungeons.

RedMuse

Craftbag is a significant reason, yes. But also, furnishing limit, bank and inventory increase, ability to dye costumes (really this one comes second after the crafting bag), unlimited DLC access.

I figure that if I want to keep playing a game that I enjoy, I'll support it financially. It really is that simple.

Things break. Things also get fixed. While some people get short-term value in Recreational Outrage (tm), it is fair to note that important features like the craft bag's functionality are at the top of their list.

Easily_Lost

I have ESO+ to support the game I love.

Sylvermynx

Because I always pay for a game I enjoy. The other two MMOs I played were sub based (WoW and RIFT); I consider a sub part of keeping the game going, so when I got here, I subbed automatically. Since I have no problems at all with this game (not an endgame or pvp'er, not competitive ever), I'm still happy to be here, play here and pay here. I also buy more crowns when on sale, and I really like buying a few crates when it's a season I like. Not really much into the Wild Hunt ones, but the Ayleid ones are great.

The craft bag is nice, but it's not essential to me. Yes, I craft - but if I didn't have the bag, I'd still craft because I have so many characters who could be "extra bag space". Double furnishing limit is more important, and the access to DLCs as well.

I use to subscribe for the craftbag mostly but I stopped awhile ago. Game still feels like beta with the never ending stream of major changes every three months and bug after bug after bug that never get fixed. Not to mention after years of promises and "performance improvements", cyrodil is still the laggy, broken mess it's always been with no end in sight. I still play casually cause I like the game but at the end of the day, you got speak with your wallet cause it's the only thing companies understand.

I don't sub regularly anymore, but when I did, in addition to the craft bag, it was for double furnishing limit in my houses (350 for a larger home is miserable) and double bank. DLC access was pretty low on the list.

I used to pay for ESO+ to support the game - it's morally proper to finance services you use regularly and enjoy if you are of the means to do so. It was never about the benefits for me. In fact, ESO was the sole exception to my usual boycotting of games that have questionable monetization schemes. As the monetization schemes continued to become worse and worse, it reached a "last straw" threshold and I regret ever supporting this game at all.

On the plus side, there was a lesson learned here - never, ever make exceptions to the boycott. In spite of the positive potential of games-as-a-service, the industry naturally has to ruin that potential with fundamentally predatory monetization systems that are bad deals for the customer. Steering clear of GaaS isn't hard, and for the most part non-GaaS are better games too because they're designed first and foremost as art/entertainment instead of addiction/money traps.

I don't subscribe because I don't think it's worth it for me. I buy crowns directly to get the DLC and other stuff which interests me from the crown store and the other ESO+ benefits don't interest me.

I have occasionally bought a month's sub so I can dye costumes, because it was worth it for the discount on crown store items and once because it was the cheapest way to get the amount of crowns I wanted, but I always see it as buying that thing rather than subscription time. My free time is unpredictable, so I can never be sure if I'll be playing every day this month or will barely be able to briefly log in on enough days to get the exclusive item from the login rewards, and if I pay for subscription time I then feel like I'm under pressure to log in whenever I can to 'get my money's worth' and either get frustrated that I can't or don't enjoy it when I can because I feel like I'm only playing because I have to.

So between all the factors it's just better for me to stick to things I can buy which will be there whenever I'm ready to use them rather than things which are on a timer.

Hurbster

It's a good deal. All DLC, extra stones, banking space, increased xp and inspiration and of course the crafting bag.

Blacknight841

So that one day they may hire someone to actually fix the game.

miteba

Honestly?

70% craft bag
15% bank space
15% supporting this awesome game

EDIT: Forgot the bank space

Alinhbo_Tyaka

I stopped subscribing due to the changes they've been making that have reduced the flexibility of how I use skills, purchase items from the writ vendor, the inability of ZOS to fix skills misfires, forcing players to regrind for things they have already achieved,etc. From my perspective where the game had greatly improved between the time of its initial release and 2018 when I started playing again ZOS has started to regress. My hope is as Microsoft takes over control, and they will contrary to public statements, that they will provide a more disciplined development process and bring in higher skilled people to turn things around. If that occurs I would look at starting up my ESO+ but if/until such time I will stay on the sidelines bottomless crafting bag or not.

I kept subbing for a number of years to support the game, then crown crates happened. Now I only sub once in a while to get access to the craft bag (I buy the zone DLC with the sub crowns, once a year).

Extra XP/gold is negligible, extra bank slots are largely unnecessary because I try not to hoard stuff, and getting DLC dungeons on the random queue can be a huge disadvantage when my play time is limited.

Bradyfjord

I subscribe because I like access to the full game. I do not like buying content piece by piece. Things like crowns, xp/gold +%, and other perks are ancillary. I also do enjoy buying a crown pack every now and then.

AlnilamE

I've subbed since launch.

The crowns, the craft bag, the extra bank space and furnishing space, along with access to all the content (including DLC dungeons) are part of the reason, as well as supporting the game.

If people on console are having issues with the craft bag, file a bug report every time it happens. Tell all your friends to do the same.

That's how you get it fixed.

Crafting bag, crowns for every time it resubscribes, and access to DLC are my main reasons

I totally get this. Although for me, this is alleviated somewhat by using the six month option. Even if I don't feel like playing enough in a given month to make it feel worthwhile, so far I've always played enough within a six month period to make it feel like the total lump sum is worth it. I do try to stay aware of when the renewal period is coming up, and always sit down and reevaluate it at that point, but so far, it fits within my entertainment budget and I still get enough hours of use out of it to make it a good value for me relative to other options. But this could definitely change in the future.

As for the OP, I would say my reason for subscribing breaks down to roughly 65% for the craft bag, 20% for the extra bank and household item slots, 10% for DLC access, and 5% outfit dying.

Wanna know what it's like without ESO+? Become a crafter (striving towards master crafter), have multiple alts and still struggle with space.

Oh, do you immediately do all the Master Writs? No, than good luck with managerial skills. You'll need them - badly IF you don't have ESO+.

Cryptor

I see a lot of people in this thread talking about not being able to access their crafting bags on Playstation. Is that the case for everyone on that side?

PigofSteel

Not subbed and i dont think i will... Got already all... Crafing materials are easy now to store and manage thanks to the set rework...
