As i logged in, i did notice that there were these motifs on the store and felt pretty bad about it..

What do you think they should do with them in there?

    I think it's now too late... they are already there. I highly doubt they will be removing them.

    Did you also notice you can purchase attribute and skill respecs? As well, the pledge of mara?

    [EDIT] Although if I had the option, I'd love to see them gone. They could keep the blue ones in the crown shop.. but I'd really prefer the rares to not be there.

    I generally hate loot-based mechanics. I'd rather do a mission knowing what I'll get. Mainly cause I'm an unlucky individual, and dice, virtual or otherwise, have never been my thing.

    That said, since the items ARE lootable, although rare, they are about the only thing in the crown store (besides potions) that are done really right in my opinion.
    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.

    Not bugging me. They are kinda pricing from a Crowns perspective and personally I'd rather spend the gold.

    So they aren't hurting the Motif market.. just providing an option for people to waste crowns. Which is fine by me, I'd rather see others blowing their crowns on Motifs and Leopards than P2W stuff (which isn't in the store..yet)

    I noticed pledge and respecs but i dont think them as major as those motifs.. Rare motifs at least.. I worked hard for my motifs and now i just feel that people look at me and think

    "One more spoiled brat with too much money" :(

    And now i noticed the advertisement spam.. Seriously O.o

    There is nothing that can be done now. This is where the game is headed and why those who were upset when it changed to buy to play. This is pretty much the future of online games. The younger generation coming up is just fine with these current practices. Just look at all the threads asking for stuff to be put into the cash shop.

    You just have to ask yourself one thing at this point. Can you deal with it or will you move on. I have a certain threshold I am willing to accept and once it passes beyond that point I will leave the game. This will most likely be my last MMO, I am sick of the route they always take with the cash shops. That's why I came to this game in the first place. The promise of it being a subscription with none of the other crap going on and look where we are now.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    There is nothing to be done now is not really a good aproach. If people dont like something, they need to be loud about it.. Voting with wallet does not work in games like these as it did in EVE but.. There is always something to do.

    Well, i guess i also HAVE to deal with it as i am not a normal MMO jumper.. I have few games i play and there is just one Tamriel to play with other people :(

    It's fine that they're there. It's purely cosmetic, so no qualms here on that front. I think they are wickedly overpriced however.
