    are you referring to the CE ? got mine for 30£ :P

    Im referring to people who bought the game and paid subscription for months. It just isnt fair, its like SWTOR all over again.

    fair ? lol whats fair to the SWG players or city of heros/villians that their game no longer exists ?

    and SWTOR made you sub lol free 2 play was a demo, pay for skill bars pay for hide helm pay for xp to make it normal, pay to enter more than 5 matchs or dungeons, pay for anything remotely to do with QoL.

    I dont think you get my point...

    nope I don't u played and enjoyed the game with your cash, what does it change in a few months it will be free?

    did u not enjoy the time you spent was it not worth the £/$ per hour you played it for.

    I did enjoy the game, but MMOs are supposed to be played for years, not 7 months. Im talking about the future of this game. I just think that we should get better rewards for what is really a paid open beta.

    How is it agian its a beta?? I have enjoyed the game. and again tell me of a mmo that was bug free? Don't really get the beta point?

    Have you played any Indie MMOs? most of them ask for £50 to £100 for beta until the final buy to play release. I personally dont see a difference between that and this. The console users are getting a game which finally feels like a full finished product.

    Honestly, I pity the console players given the track record of this development group's patch process. At least on the PC they can just push what they want... on the consoles they have to get it thru MSoft and Sony before it can be published.

    small point ESO isn't made by Bethesda

    Bethesda is a subsidiary of Zenimax Media. Zenimax Online is also a subsidiary of Zenimax Media. They are both privately owned and ESO itself was made by a a lot of people who had previously made Elder Scrolls games. Zenimax Online is just about as "Bethesda" as fall out or skyrim

    I am going to subscribe to ESO plus and am pretty much behind the new system, but I agree that 100 crowns per month subscribed thusfar feels like too little. Approximately 11 months equals 1100 crowns: that's less than one month of ESO plus subscription.

    I hope the number is more of a placeholder and Zenimax will listen to the community as they have with the Champion System in order to come up with something we can all feel a bit happier about. :)

    U.S. dollars.

    It'll actually be 11 months of sub time when F2P hits. So 11 x 15 = $165

    Plus $80 if you bought the Imperial Edition and Adventurer packs (which they said would only be available for pre-release, another lie).

    $165 + $80 = $245.

    $245 beta testers are getting rewarded with 1,100 crowns.

    1,100 crowns is worth $11. (1,500 crowns/mo for $15 = $1/100 crowns * 11).

    So basically, I spent $245 to beta test a game and will be getting $11 in cash shop pixels in return.

    ZOS does not appreciate its playerbase. They've proven that through lies and bait & switch.

    Exactly. To be honest, we should get more than what new players get because we were basically kickstarter backers.
