Is anybody else finding the Crown Store items to be severely underwhelming? There is absolutely nothing in the store I want to buy. I purchased the Imperial Edition of the game before last year's launch so I don't need items such as the Explorer's Pack. My Senche mount coming soon from the loyalty rewards makes the current mounts seem unremarkable. I spend over 90% of my game time in Cyrodiil where pets are not allowed. My specially dyed armor that coordinates well with my guild tabard looks better than any of the costumes. In short, there is nothing in the Crown Store which I want or could use.

What would I buy in the Crown Store? DLC, none of which is in the store because ZOS refuses to release any of it. Even worse, it will be four or more months before any DLC is for sale if you read Paul Sage's tea leaves.

Overall, the Crown Store is a big bust for me.

i rather have nothing pulling at me then seeing "instant lvl x" items or 100% XP boosts. OR even "locked gear/content" like swtor does.

Character Slots

I would buy those.

For all of those with randomly (and wrongly) calculated crowns available: get wedding dress costume, for the glory of satan ofcourse (and to ruin the credibility of any available in-game).

Wrongly calculated crowns? Explain, please?

Well the store just opened but i was thinking another good thing to add to it would be like another adventuring backpack that gives you like 1000 slots and works through the whole account we have the bank but for adventuring on top of the bag and bank upgrades we have

I agree with OP: nothing worth buying in the store.

This is what I'd buy in order of preference:

- bank space
- backpack space
- character slots

All of these are convenience items, none are P2W.

C'mon Zmax, let me give you my money.

I am...sorely disappointed. They better add more soon. Like weekly or bi-weekly. I know they have a LOT more in the system to open up for purchase in the Crown Store. I want my Noble Suit, is that really asking too much...? *sigh*

Gotta start somewhere and most of it is cosmetic, except for the potions. I'm okay with that for the time being.

dude, its day 1... give them some time there will be heaps of cool stuff

I'm disappointed with the fact I can't dye costumes, nor use them simultaneously with guild tabbards.. Please fix that then I will probably dabble into the costumes section

They should release:

- A DLC that allows you to change your character name, race, class and appearance. This DLC applies to all chars you have and the future ones you may create. After changing either race or class the system must reset skill points pertaining to the race or class selected (or both if that's the case). A cool down of 15 days is applied to the modified character after change confirmation (even by just name change). The char maintains it alliance alignment from where it comes from. Probably, the prerequisite is for the user to have the "any race, any alliance" mod.

- 100 Bank space packages. You can buy as many as you want. Price maintains the same for each package you buy. They stack to the in-game bank space you can buy. Bought packages are account wide, so all chars (either new or existing) can benefit from them.

- 100 Bag space packages. You can buy as many as you want. Price maintains the same for each package you buy. They stack to the in-game bag space you can buy from a vendor or research from ride trainings. Bought packages are account wide, so all chars (either new or existing) can benefit from them. Example, I bought 2 packages (200 space slots) and create a new char. This new char will now have 260 bag space slots. From there, the player can purchase more from the crown store or bag vendor or ride training (this may imply to remove the 110 limit from the bag vendor, so you can buy the 50 bag space from him without restrictions).

- 3 char slot packages (one for each class). You can buy as many as you want. Price maintains the same for each package you buy. Bought packages only applies to the account and server were you made the purchase.

- This is for my own personal taste (and many others). A DLC that allows you to have account wide achievements on all your existing chars and new ones you may create (previous confirmation if the new char will have shared or individual achievements). This way I can level up some other class and be happy that my progress with the new chars goes to the pending ones I may have left (such as PVP or trials achievements regarding healing or dps).

Game mechanics of any type should NEVER be a cash shop item. Bad enough SWtOR actually charges you 400cc for the ability to get on your mount while moving.

I like costumes. At least one of them (chef) I have been asking for since before launch.

Never been bothered by mounts and pets. As long as more decent costumes keep coming I'll be ok. Like the sound of the barmaid one (if we ever get it) - would be nice to have a barman to go with it - I think all costumes should be gender neutral (like the chef) or have versions for both genders. The nomad one (if we ever get it) seems to be a very male looking costume and I would like a female version of that.

More dancing friendly costumes would be appreciated too. Male and female bellydance outfits please! Would not look out of place in Alik'r.

Bought nothing - nothing worth buying.

I find it laughable that people are comparing a B2P cash shop with F2P cash shops. Of course F2P cash shops like Rift or SWTOR are going to be more extensive, they've been around for years. That's also their entire source of income, and have to accommodate for the large percentage of people buying little or nothing yet still clogging their servers and running up their electric bills. Meanwhile, ESO has the benefit of every single player having to buy a copy of the game.

Also keep in mind that most F2P games have either been built from the ground up on the idea that cash shop revenue is going to support the game, thus a larger amount of development time and resources go into making goodies for the shop, or were previously subscription based games that had to go the F2P route to survive thus had to put quite a bit of time and effort into making goodies for the shop.

So considering the fact that every single player is spending at least $60 to play ESO because there isn't even a demo or trial version, they have enough revenue to support themselves for a while off of that. They'll also get quite a bit of income whenever they release DLCs, so really the shop has no need to be anywhere near as well stocked as an F2P game's shop would be. That said...

Moar costumes plz.

I find it laughable that people think B2P is so far removed from F2P simply because there's a "B" instead of an "F". And neither RIFT nor SWtOR were built from the ground up as F2P, in SWtOR's case it was very hastily converted ( fastest flop from sub to F2P ever ).

A one-time purchase of a box does not keep a game alive. You know who keeps the game alive in this system? The same people as in full F2P games: the cash shop whales. So TESO better throw it's Captain Ahab skivvies on and start chasing Moby *** before it's too late.
