Not sure what the OPs point is though...you want to be able to pay money so people will envy you? I don't get it. I prefer that vanity stuff be limited to in-game accomplishments myself. If anything, the Imperial edition gave too much.
PS: You get to play as an actual Imperial. That is something no one else can do who did not buy the Imperial Edition. So there is that.
You got the "play as imperial", the unique horse and the transmogrify.
I thought the Imperial Gear was exclusive too, but well... My gain, I own a standard copy and a motif. Don't want a horse or imperial or transmog.
Couldn't justify myself buying the Imp.Edition.

The standard digital edition also allows you to play any race with any faction (except Imperials of course).PrimalScreamer wrote: »I dont think this belongs in the crafting discussion..
IMO, imperial edition is worth it just for the "play any race, any faction" feature. I didn't have the money to but the imperial edition when it came out so I bought the standard. Now I am forced into playing my third-choice race just because all my close friends are playing on a certain faction. Its a serious role-play kill and I am considering moving factions. Idk if they're every planning on making this feature available to non-imperial players but I hope they do.
Well, you already knew in advance that was not going to happen. They made this known well in advance of launch. "Imperial" was part of the motifs that were in the game.OK, my original post got long winded, the point was the look of gear of imperial race is unique and Id just have liked it to stay unique to those who bought the imperial edition.
Which is exactly as it should be. No racial armor is unique to anyone in this game.Of all the things i would, say keep your horse, just leave me the armor for my race...now anyone with that motif has it...
You are entitled to you opinion. IMO you need to get over it. Your demands are unreasonable. And you most certainly were not ripped off. You got exactly what you paid for and you were not lied to. None of this was a secret. I knew all of this well before launch when I chose to buy the Standard digital edition.I understand this seems like a stupid gripe but its my point of view

Probably way more than the cost of imperial edition.
Keep in mind that imperial edition stays with you forever, the one night at the bar is just, well one night.
Worth it imo.

It should not be a let down. Thats my point. This is something you should have known before buying it. It wasn't a secret.I never spent so much on a game before so to me it felt a bit like a let down simply going out from the POV that imperial motifs should IMO be exclusive to imperial edition.
It makes perfect sense that non-magic crafts could be replicated by other races. All the motifs in the game can be replicated by anyone.You can't say its got anything to do with lore either, the lore only says yes there are imperials
Well, I think it is clear at this point. We understand your argument but don't agree with you. I personally would be annoyed if the DEVs had made Imperial motifs available only to people who paid for them, even though I can afford it. It would look like a money grab and make the game less appealing. IMO the playing field should be as level as possible in MMOs. Stuff should be earnable, not buyable.I am merely curious to know what everyone else thinks not just from my POV but their own.
The physical edition was for sure. That book is awesome and molag bal watches me sleep
