Simply put. Micro. Small. You charge me 1.25 for this, .75 for that, and put enough in that store? I'll pay more than $100 a month. Proven. Just look at Iphones and their apps.

You put things for $10-$40 each? I have to internally justify each purchase, not just to my own concience, but to my wife. All of a sudden, I'm less likely to spend.

DONT take a queue from Neverwinter on this. Their pricing scheme is the reason I came to ESO in the first place.
Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

XBOX NA
Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    Well, if they offer a 500 crown upgrade so I can finish production on my strawberry plant and help grow my farm I'll gladly do it. But until then, eh... I'm okay with it the way it is.

    Haven't you seen WoW's store?

    https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/world-of-warcraft-pet-argi

    That's $10 for a pet.

    Honestly, last time I played WoW there wasn't a store for in-game items. You could buy that little keycode generator or expansions, but nothing in-game yet.

    Is everybody going to that '$25 for a mount, $10 for a vanity pet' mechanic?

    No, thank you, to microtransactions. I can see it now:

    "*Pop up*

    DID YOU KNOW FOR 100 CROWNS YOU CAN INCREASE THE RESEARCH SPEED OF THIS ITEM BY 5%?

    USES PER DAY 0/5"

    Microtransactions have zero place in a game like this.

    WoW still requires a subscription to play, too.
