Up to Summerset I always pre-ordered, ESO lost my interest as the time went by without fixing Cyrodiil for good. Quit before Greymoor. Account wide achievements convinced me to try again but still wary so will only put money when it's really cheap, for now.
I still have lots of content left to do so I'm in no rush. The only reason I'd buy the new chapter is if I wanted the companions from it (I grabbed Blackwood when it came out for Mirri but haven't even done the zone yet).
I was looking for a male companion for the next character I have in mind though, so thank you ZOS for saving my wallet. Probably a good thing.
(No hate to Bastian, mind, he's great... minus all the huzzah'ing.)
i got it because i always generally enjoy the content
ill participate in the card game, but how much i use it is going to depend on a few things such as how enjoyable it is and what rewards you can get from it
account wide achievements will be really nice (they could leave titles per character, but im indifferent on this)
i still generally try to do most new content on my main first (all of the questing i usually do with him, yes a moderately high dmg tank lol), but stuff like trials i usually try to do on one of my dps toons (no i dont like armory system to change how the character operates, i practice them in that 1 particular build, if i feel they are underperforming i will redo the build)
i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

I thought i could justify it from watching the stream, but seeing how bad the preorder mount and pet are, probably will be like the last 2, cheapest available when they do the mid year current chapter event.
It's supposed to have Jakarn in it, plus I'm starved for new content.
I don't like that the chapters have become so expensive now that it actually gives me a pause before I place the order. Especially with the expectation that the price will be slashed by half in a few months. I'm just lucky enough that I can afford to pay the premium for my own impatience.
