Highhallow Hold - Crown exclusive?

CoolBlast3

So, the patch notes say:

Highhallow Hold is also available to test, which can be found in the Crown Store. Let us know what you think!

Variously held by both House Dufort and Mornard, this stately manor near the edge of Gonfalon Bay is now available to the adventurer-about-town. It commands a majestic view of the water and provides easy access to the jewel of High Isle.

Meanwhile the inn room house is specified to be purchasable. Does this mean High Isle will only launch with ONE purchasable gold house, which is an inn room? Every other Chapter had an inn room + an actual house purchasable for gold. (Barring Elsweyr, but you got a house from the main quest).
@ZOS_GinaBruno , please tell me this was just a mistake. People were looking forward for another Water's Edge tier gold house!

Can't agree with this more, I was really hoping for another gold purchasable house. This will be a super let down. If it is a mistake, great. If not I beg, please fix.

It's surprising there's only one house on top of the inn room -- wondering if more houses will become available to preview later on in PTS? Surely they're trying to sell more than just one new house before the Q3 update in August-ish.

I really hope is a mistake or an omission. Because Breton and Imperial styles are my favorite ones, so I was hoping for a cool Breton house. If this is crown exclusive, rewards in this game are getting more crown exclusive day by day.

Yea this is the first year i was interested in buying the large-tier house for a main city, not some overpriced manor.

Go figure. I hope this gets addressed.

Every home that you can buy with GOLD can ALSO be bought with crowns. So who knows.

As for rewards being more crowns, this is simply not true in the slightest... In fact, they've been giving stuff more than usual the past years. Mounts, a FREE house per year, personality, housing guests, pets.. Heck, even a freaking DLC last year, and now Morrowind is literally given to everybody, and they won't slow down on that.

So I get it, you want your Breton house being only gold, but I would understand if it's only crowns. They do have a business to maintain too, and giving DLCs, mounts, houses isn't something they needed to do, but they did it anyway, and still will.

According to Microsoft everything purchasable with cash should be earnable in game.

Are you serious? They used to give crown crates on daily rewards, then we got the previews crates, and now nothing again. This mount and houseguest were compensation for US players that lost one week of gameplay, to make sure they return.

They gave murkmire in daily rewards FOR EVERYONE and not only the people that got the current expansion. They are giving a free house since summerset, and adding +4 crown exclusive every year costing +12k crowns each. We get ONE gold house per year.

The expansion is +50Euros, you have to buy the DLCs, they have a lot of people on ESO+ (me included), crown crate seasons, and a lot of exclusive crown rewards. Yes, they need to make money, no one works for free but they also need to do gameplay rewards the players for losing time playing their game and not only when they are paying real money.

They are giving Morrowind for free. They should already include all games up to Elsweyr, and even then new players would be 3 expansions behind.

And being able to buy gold houses with crowns, that means that is a choice. Crowns exclusive houses there is no choice. And even with gifting and the price of gold/crown rate, each house can cost more than 25M gold.

Not really. For what i remember they only have issues against exclusive RNG loot box items, that's why radiant apexs now also have crowns gems prices and the addition of the seals of endeavor.
