    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    I think it's amusing how many people think that this will ruin the motif economy. How many people do you think will be willing to spend $50 on a motif, when it's so easy to get gold or just farm them in game? Not to mention they give absolutely no advantage. It's 16,500 crown to buy all motifs from the crown store, that's $165. If someone is lazy enough to fork out that much money, let them.

    I doubt it will change prices by more than 10%, if it does at all.

    Prices will definitely be changed - perhaps to the increase, but after some dive. Just imagine how many resellers will go out of this business... This was not very popular trade since 1.6, but I imagine that after some instability it will be at the same level or higher. Because now you can just compare it with crown price and decide whether your gold cost that much :) I would bet, gold purchase will win... Will see.

    I find it hard to take anything you post seriously anymore, just feels as if you're looking for things to pick at now. Who cares if motifs are on the crown store, it's just as Zenimax said small convenience items, stop posting stuff like oh I fear such and such gear will be on the crown store, it obviously wont the general response is against it.
    As for EXP Potions, you're going to use them, you know you will, everyone else will too. Zenimax knows you, you and I know it so don't bother with the same old P2W comment, you get 1500 crowns for subscribing each month that will be used on EXP Potions, Zenimax need a certain item to keep people subscribed don't they?

    Same old boring argument annoying to read now

    Coming from someone who posted to complain about the sanctum ophidia speed run achievement being easier now and that you were upset it didn't mean much to show off for bragging rights, that's an interesting position you take here not caring at all about real money just buying that kind of thing. I don't think you've tried an mmo before that went b2p and the inevitable p2w slide from the look of it. Coming soon to a crown store near you we'll see achievements for dyes and gear sets up too ;).

    Considering how vehemently ZOS insisted that free/buy to play was so much worse than a subscription model and the basically would never consider doing it, I was hopeful this game wouldn't go to it and the pay to win model. Guess I was wrong... I'll have to take a closer look at CU's progress since I was a kickstarter alpha backer in 2013 for them. Maybe it won't end up as good a game or maybe it will, but at least it won't be pay to win ;) and you know someone didn't just buy that awesome gear and looks for cash but actually played the game to get it.

    exactly, ive had horrible luck with finding motiffs, only one i have is barbaric...not the greatest but atleast i had found or bought somthing in the game.. now that its in a set pack i wont ever use it.
    just due to the fact its a cash shop item.
    i never understood that in wow, yea cool you disgned an awesome mount but if i dont h ave to do anything in game to unlock it? ....why should i care? least in wow they made some mounts as rewards for beating raids on harder difficulties or put tyhem in dungeons as super super rare drops....
    anyways thanks for killing off any enjoyment i had looking forward to collecting them in game.

    this also creates a way for people to buy/sell gold

    motiffs cost 5500 corwns, those crowns cost 40$ or so , motiffs goe for 30-60k in game gold..time to barter and sell/buy some gold for in game cash++++++ double thumbs up!

    Woohoo I am all in, especially if it would get me a new "greedy green" dye I can pair with slaughterfish pink on my armor!

    All these things can be considered convenience items since buying them saves us the time of collecting them, so I would not be surprised to see it happen.

    I've no problem with them selling cosmetics, even if they are already obtainable in the game. The potential for harm is in the "convenience" category, because there's no clear line between it and pay to win.
    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    You are only focusing on the rare motifs. The bread and butter of the Motif trade has just been nerfed into the ground. One months subscription means a player can buy all the Blue Motifs from the Crown Store.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    How many people shelled out in other pay to win setups as the games sunk so they could "pwn noobs"? Many. Why would that be different here? I knew people in my brief time in Archeage who had dumped hundreds of bucks, a couple even thousands, o they could have the ultimate gear and butcher people for fun until everyone quit after they finally had the concept of pay to win's effect dawn on them. You know that adage... "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."

    thank you ZENIMAX, i thought that I will look special on my subbed senche mount as a small token for supporting you for a whole year. Now everyone will have senche mount one or another. I was just paying beta tester for your for a whole year there is nothing special or different i have access to compared to new players. Looks like you know how to get rid of old customers.

    Silly idea the OP have! Silly Silly and Silly! Isn't the purpose of playing and earn rewards / items by exploring? Stuff like Motifs in the crown store just another step closer to pay to win. Instead of working toward a goal -- either by farming or earning gold in game, gamers are just lazy to buy such items with real money instead -- just a silly idea.

    Go play the game, instead of being lazy, work /play towards a goal instead. Think of getting a motif like a quest that one gives one self.

    Wow. They're selling the rare motifs for the amount of ONE MONTH PAID SUBSCRIPTION. They're not throwing the motifs out to be bought for a pittance. A month of paid subscription is a decent amount of money.

    Like, which is more pleasurable: playing the game to get the 50K needed to buy an imp motif, or work, at a job, for the money needed to buy the crowns?

    Sheesh, people need to chill the heck out.

    Your attempts at baiting is pretty bad, considering I have bragging rights anyway, but no point to boast around my achievements that you don't have or will get.
    Anyway I find it cute you went and posted in my thread as an attempt to keep baiting. I'm sorry you feel so strongly motifs are in the crown store, and I'm sorry to say it falls under Zenimax's Code of Conduct for convenience items to include them, considering they don't even change the play style.

    I gave up on the idea of trying to fix the raiding system to help promote a better play style, but oh well. It won't happen so I let it go

    I'm more bummed that the new mount will go off sale a week before I'm billed for my 6 month sub (and receive my crowns). I've been here the whole time (and yes I got the 300 day tiger) but to be here the whole time and be forced to spend extra to get the mount (if I wanted it) kind of sucks.

    Edit: my sub actually comes due on May 6th
