I'd only pay crowns for expansion packs or significant updates, frankly. If ZOS takes this thread on board (since it's about increasing their bottom line I think threads like these will have their keen focus) and adds the range of items suggested in this thread we would find a runaway monetization taking over ESO. I'm presuming most people don't want ESO to go that way, yet this whole thread seems to be encouraging it. Just saying, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Um... I thought that by remaining a paid sub person I would get those automatically...

You get to rent them. Non-subscribers get to keep them.

I would pay x Crowns for ...

A server stability potion for Cyrodiil.

Seriously, how much more do I need to pay to achieve this goal?

100 crowns for a temporary 24 hour rental horse with max speed (some stam and 0 capacity) for my alt characters to not take 10 hours to ride between keeps in pvp

2500 for kouguti mount

700 for nix hound pet

1200 for ordinator and morrowind themed costumes

I'd drop 2k crown s to be able to do a faction change. I made a Dragonknight on EP just to have a different first experience while questing and now I am super bummed that I can't play him with the rest of my AD friends. I often think about re rolling on AD just so I can play DK, but the thought of losing all of my work gives me shivers.

I know that the devs mentioned in the last ESO Live that barber shop and race change options were in the works. I just pray that faction changes are not far behind. They didn't mention anything about it explicitly

I continue to be weirded out that folks only play or mostly play one faction. I am so completely uninvested in the "Alliance War" (frankly, I think that's a side effect of Cold Harbor - it just all seems pointless petty squabbling to me), and I certainly couldn't let 8 character slots go unplayed.

Hmmmm ...

On that note, I'd maybe pay 50 crowns to get a one-day or one-campaign "pass" to join any campaign. It could be done via Mages Guild or Fighters Guild (which are both non-factioned) but what I'm really thinking would be more logical would be some sort of healer's guild.

Oh, so cool. I could have my own little "caravan". I totally want that too!

Regarding costs of paying for game improvements

I thought the sub fee this game launched with was to help improve the game. I guess the PvPers missed the fine print..

As I've mused elsewhere it almost seems like ESO is sort of two different games mashed into one (exaggerated for effect):

1-MMO/PvP battles and leaderboards and kill kill kill other players and optimize builds and race to the 'end' and the 'competition'.

2-ES with quests and exploring the world and engaging in immersion and getting ridiculuously excited over a guar pet and game mailing flowers to court another PC.

I also observe that the "more content" has pretty much been aimed at the latter, not the former.

I wonder who the developers/marketers were trying to target (and if THEY were on the same page as each other). Is there any pattern to what type of player has tended to drop out or stay....

Were the subs not producing enough money? And was the pattern of who left the reason for the PvE focused changes ... and was it to please the ones who stayed or to lure back the ones who left?

anyway ....

There are a lot of things I would like to see in-game, but many of them are not really good choices for a Crowne store. So if the purpose of this thread is to find out what I would pay for (and in my case as a subscriber, what would I be so eager to get "more of" that I would buy crowns in addition to my sub).

50 crowns to be able to level (bind to character) quest-gained items so I could keep useing them. I would re-do this every 4-6 levels or so, so it would be a reccuring expense for me. And since I play a lot of characters, and each one would likely have some particular item they were emotionally attached to (and frankely in some cases it wouldn't even be something they would use - it might end up in the trinket bag) this could generate money.

100 crowns to open a "trinket" bag, where nifty items such as Finvir's trinket or the lamp from Amalexia could be stored and accessed through the quickslot menu, but not count toward bag space, and not be able to be banked (basically, you can "keep them" like permanent quest items until you drop them - and that's it). I'd also keep weird things like the bag of bronzed acorns and the set of Queen's Eye Figurines there. Say 100 crowns to open 10 slots, then another 10 crowns per additional slots. Since this would be character specific, there goes 800 crowns off the bat. It also invests me in pickpocketing and stealing to get more weird/cool stuff, which leads to me buying more "trinket space"

100 crowns to open a Character specific "tamed pet" collection, consisting only of non-combat critters and requiring me to use crowns (say another 100 a pop) to buy a one-shot item to use to "tame" a wild critter. Small one's only, such as the bright red centpedes, the little spiders, the tiny white rats (not the skeevers - at least not with this version), the various little snakes (I recall a green one and one that looked a little like a coral snake). I think there were little beetles around somewhere too. Since I would be doing this with all my characters and every critter I could find, this would also be an income-generator.

This would be great! I honestly love my Sword Saint greatsword that I received from Sai Sahan(it's also perfect since my char is a Redguard). I just REALLY hate that I can't change its level to v14.

I would also like an item that allows me to change the traits of gear. While for crafted gear it's not really necessary, I hate that some PvE gear gets traits like exploration or even divines(in some cases) or well-fitted. Though some might cry p2w(the impact of traits is minor at best).

More character slots - I'd pay at least 1000 crowns per slot.

More guild slots - I'd pay at least 300 crowns per additional permanent guild slot

Stones to combine items, fusing the looks of one and the stats of another - I'd expect to pay 100-250 crowns per stone.

Costumes that can be dyed - I'd never pay anything for costumes that cannot be dyed.

Single slot costumes/Costumes that can be divided - Not sure how much, but I would buy them for sure.

1200 crowns for a race and name change!

Up to 10,000 crowns for housing.
And then so many crowns for nice housing items, as I can afford ...

I'd like this fine fellow as a mount, please:



Pretty please with moonsugar on top!
