I've said it before and I'll say it again; I don't mind subbing. Currently it's what, approx $15 to sub? That's three drinks at Starbucks. Do I get more enjoyment out of the game in a month than I would from three drinks at Starbucks? Yes; therefore, it's worth the sub.

lol, if you really think overprizedcoffe with out of place sirup in it that is served (just kidding, you have to stand up and get it yourself) in a Airport-like ambiente is a good benchmark for any price, please reconsider. And try out some nice traditonal coffeeshops.

Maybe you can find one more easily with an app for your iphone.

"Limited time offer", is certainly open to interpretation. Which is why it is a successful marketing ploy because it implies that it will "only" be available for a limited time and never again. Then when it is offered again, for a lower price, those that purchased it the first time, feel they are getting cheated.

It is possible we will offer the Senche-Leopard mount again at some point. If we release something in the Crown Store that we intend to not bring back, we'll state as much.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, Please understand that was not directed at ZOS. It was a statement about marketing ploys.

The one thing I hate about the Crown store which will stop me from ever using it again is that it's server specific. I play both EU and US and refuse to pay for the same thing twice.

You can't even upgrade your account to the Imperial edition, you need to unlock it on both servers.

If the same is true of the future DLC then I'll quit the game.

This was something we talked about for, well...about a year now. One of the most common requests we got in regards to the pre-order items was "The person I originally used my Pledge of Mara with is no longer around. Can I undo the Rings of Mara buff and do the Pledge with someone else?" This was the driving force behind offering it again.

Offer it for free then.

That said, the DLC for sure wont be cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if they go for a 30-50 bucks range.

I'd rather pay $60 for real content than $20 for a reskin.

This is absurd.

But I'll probably buy it anyway, cause I'm subscribed and there isn't sh#t else to buy with my crowns.

How do you explain the 'any race, any alliance' "exclusivity" then?

I admit that it was a bad idea to start with, but it was an interesting prospect to be able to come back to a game where you were one of the few outsiders in another faction. Added lots of rp value. And I did pre-order before I had time to play properly.

Didn't really happen though as now anyone can grab that from the crown store too. And I am sure that was advertised as a pre-order only benefit.

I can see that a lot of people would be upset at not being able to play the way they wanted, even though after a while most players would not have access to that feature anyway. It should never have been offered like that in the first place.

As I didnt get my tiger senche because I unsubbed in a bid to do uni work, I did buy my leopard. I am not paying a sub and ZOS do need to pay for the servers somehow :P.

FYI If you pay for sub (or name is as you like), you have access to the future content expansions without the need to buy them (for the duration of the sub period)

They have a limited dev team now, console will get them box sales, they will finish off some content most of it is made. Will milk off us milk drinkers while they can. This is why nothing has been said about future dlc. They want to see how console sells. The plug was pulled when the PC subs did not stick. I paid till May and with experience pots in store soon I am close to stopping playing.

When you bail, send me your stuff. I'll keep an eye on it.

That sounds like a reasonable solution.

While they're at it, would you like them to make everything else free? And just work as volunteers?

That's awesome! It would be great to know if an item is going to be offered once and never again.

I tell you what else, too.
If I ever see a flying mount in the crown store, I will use my credit card so fast the numbers will melt off.

lol I'm sure MANY would be buying that ASAP... I couldn't pass up this Senche-Leopard even though I have the Senche-Tiger.. both are awesome and it's nice to use different mounts on different characters (imo anyway).

Of course not.
My point is simply this: if the driving force behind offering the Pledge of Mara again was to please those who wished to undo the buff, then it should be for free to those players, as they have already paid for it.

At no point did I suggest any of them work for free or that the game should be free. That is a slippery slope argument.

I won't be spending any Crowns on a limited-time Senche leopard. I already have my Senche tiger.

Now, get a limited-time Guar into the Crown Store and I'll be there on the first day cash in hand .
