Not looking good if just weeks after the buy to play conversion we're already seeing valuable items for sale in the cash shop, devaluing the ones people earned or bought in game immediately. Rare or valuable items shouldn't be for sale for cash in the first place and I'm concerned this is going to just be the start of a barrage of these kinds of things.
Well doesn't int eh end anything from crown store is account bond so no selling which means still 60K prices

Kallipsoe✭✭✭No issues with any of these items. Blue motifs are a dime a dozen in the economy and players will have to decide if they want to farm, spend 30k gold, or $15 to get a purple motif. This is definitely not P2W, yet.5 -

What? All a motif does is let you make armor that looks cosmetically a certain way. It does nothing to add to the stats on the armor.3 -

✭✭✭It took me ~2wks to farm all the dwemer pages in which I got a barbaric and daedric in the process. I purchased the ancient elf (35k) and primal (20k) with in game gold. This doesn't really bother me. It's cosmetic and convenient.
It would be "convenient" to buy all of the rare pvp gear sets, Master weapons, and hard mode raid gear too, by that measure. I mean, you can spend two weeks farming one of those, too! Who cares if someone can spend two weeks farming great gear by paying up instead of farming motifs like you did, right?

I edited that post for more clarity....please see above. Basically, the crown purchase price should gouge the pockets of the prospective buyer in an effort to deter the average income player from purchasing all of them and destroying the in-game value. If this is the case I'm fine with it.Edited by Cuyler on April 13, 2015 4:46PMGuild: STACK n BURN (gm) PC - NA

Oh, so instead of fixing the game system, you're happy to be able to pay out cash to bypass it instead of them making it work better in the first place, instead leaving it broken? Same deal with the upcoming EXP potions... veteran exp gain was broken not so long ago and the rewards for quests, bosses, etc. are a relative fraction of what they were. Instead of fixing what they broke, people are clamoring to shell out money.

I think you over reacting. Most people are still going to pay gold over dishing out $40 for a motif. Big deal if they drop a little bit. Its not like Imperials motifs are going to be 10k or anything.

Sorry, for some reason as I scanned over I swore they were listed as 5000, but yeah, that's only Dwemer and Imperial at 5000 each.
5500 Crowns is actually $50 for me. Canadian.

✭✭✭✭✭I think that the Respec cost (700 crowns) seems a bit low.
Also, last time I tried to learn Dwemer, it told me that I could not because I was not skilled enough. I need to be Rank 9. If these store bought ones can be used right away, at Rank 1, it will definitely be worth it to simply delete my in-game inventory that I cannot use and purchase the ones from the Store.Edited by Elsonso on April 13, 2015 4:55PM0 -

This. It's rather obvious what this trend is going towards. And I'd also point out that gold can buy top end gear in ESO, so saving 200k gold that you'd have otherwise spent directly benefits your character power as you can go buy a nice set item instead. Add in that it hits the game economy by devaluing ways to earn gold while also inflating the economy some since you can get skill respecs too. I'm pretty sure we're going to see EXP potions that boost your champion xp soon and then it's game over, outright pay to win directly (champion points boost your stats, passives, and character strength, so earning at a high rate would give you a huge boost over others who don't pay up to win in a very short time, and within matter of weeks to a couple of months the gap would become huge).-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.

I dont know a single person who would pay $40 for a motif. So there will still be a ton of people in the game wiling to buy your motifs.6
