Just over £833 GBP, excluding the base game. Thought it was interesting.

    I seriously don't want to know. 2 platforms, with ESO+, Crown purchases, yearly upgrades (not on both platforms)... just no.

    Hah, understandable. Fortunately I use my guilds house, but I can imagine if you do any kind of housing that number would be exceedingly high. As painful as it can be, I think it's useful to look at your expenditures from time to time, especially if someone is having trouble with money. It might be the motivation you need to slow things down and think about your budget more.

    I've subbed since Orsinium dropped and buy the summer dlcs but I'm pretty good about not buying extra crowns.

    I'm sure there's some psychological condition describing the dangers of looking too closely at the time/effort you spend on the daily distractions you indulge in to keep yourself sane - I say, ignorance is bliss

    Still cheaper than Cable TV.

    Or, Drinking at the Pub a night or three a week.

    Or a Movie once a week with snacks and a drink.

    Or a sporting event with Parking and Food/Drink


    Don't think of it as spending money on a game. You are spending money on a form of entertainment you enjoy. You are enjoying yourself, right? B)
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I wish I could say yes. Haven't really enjoyed myself in this game for a while. Last time I remember having fun was the IC update. No regrets or anything, I just wish they paid more attention to PvP. The proposed changes for the next update just shows how out of touch they truly are.

    Fortunately, for me, I don't do PvP.

    Until they separate the skill sets, so they can deal with the underlying issues, AvA will be problematic.

    I always thought something like WoW's PvP talents would be a nice addition. It basically alters existing skills, or adds new ones to be more PvP-centric when in PvP zones or you're flagged for PvP. It allows the devs to balance every skill individually without annoying either crowd.
    A good example would be flurry from the DW tree. It's superb in PvE, but useless in PvP. They could modify its behaviour when in PvP zones without upsetting Pvers who use it.

    8 house chests + personal guild bank with another 500 slots (invited 9 people during free eso trial, they never came back). It's manageable if you're holding your inner hoarder back :smiley:

    I know that I’ve spent enough money that I don’t want to look at the exact amount.

    I know it’s worse for Warframe - I gave that game up. Real shame because it could have been something.

    I'm also in a similar situation though I've subbed when it was mandatory in the past, bought crowns, DLCs, new accounts, Chapters, and just stopped after last year. I haven't had to worry about storage since 2015.

    I use gold as a form of storage since we basically have unlimited space for gold. I don't hoard and sell everything I don't need. If I ever do need anything, I'll just buy it. I don't get into housing so that helps.
