    I wont comment on what I think of your suggestions. I'll likely be banned.

    The system they have is fine. I really dont understand the issue. The ESO+ subscription is hardly different from what they had before...

    You pay for access to the game, which includes the future DLC. You stop subbing, you lose access to it - just like you would have when the game was sub only.

    Infact this time you can actually play something, even if you arent subbed. So you get enough for free imo.

    Im already sick of the F2P freeloaders :( and the worst of them have yet to turn up. Praise be to the box cost.

    (PS ZoS please charge them through the roof for dlc lol >.>)

    u got me all wrong there.. i'm pro paying and being a member and i also think that giving the game for free for all is bad
    bad bad.
    but - keeping a person on constant pay, without u having the thing with you when u stop paying,is not good.
    some ppls prefer to lease a car,others to buy and own it. same thing here.

    Yes, but as I've told you, you are leasing w/ the option to buy (which they give you Crowns for, if you choose to save them for the DLC).

    If you buy the DLC, it is yours. Forever. Whether you sub or not, it is yours.

    It's in the official FAQ, which I quoted. I'm not sure what else you want me to tell you before you realize that it doesn't work the way that you thought it did. : P

    I agree with some points. They need to make the deal more lucrative if they expect me or anyone else to stay subbed. I'm going to give it another month or two and if it's lame like it is now I may unsub. I will still play the game of course.
    Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!

    i do like the free transport idea.

    maybe have that as a Crownstore Item.
    I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

    I dropped my subscription only because of the forced 10% bonus. Didn't like, wouldn't do again. They'll continue to get my money, though, for DLC put on the Crown Store.

    f2p freeloader?? everyone who current playing this game paid 60$ upfront.. so 60$ is worth next to nothing to you?? confused...

    btw.. am currently a eso plus member.. though i doubt ill stay sub if they put all content in dlc.. because am sure most of my friend will not continue playing..

    yes, but if u cancel the sub after u bought dlc with crowns,than u no longer have access to the dlc.

    well.. when you get sub you get crown, you can use crown grant by sub to purchase dlc. or you can use the crown else where. if you use them to unlock dlc you will have your dlc after you unsub, but if you spend them elsewhere you will not have dlc after you unsub..

    the issue is.. from what am seeing they are planning to put all future game content into dlc.. with 3~4 dlc per year you are paying the same money as full sub to unlock these dlc.. and you are better off with just stright forward sub which grant you some small bonus along with the crown to unlock all your dlc..

    this is what i made this post.. because to do so will separate player base, also making dlc less desirable.. it have already been proven that sub system does not work..

    p.s. so this is my theory.. before you have to pay 60 to get the game.. then $180 a year to play the game.. now you pay 60$ to play basic content,, then 180$ a year to unlock all dlc... i hope this is not what they have in mind.. because i doubt this game will live long with this kind of system..
