Just expanding on the poll question for further validation, I'm building off Danikat's idea of packaging subs with Crown point purchases. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/171125/what-if-5500-3000-crown-packs-included-a-1-month-subscription

Here's my reasoning: Subs always want to charge payments on the 1, 3, or 6 month anniversary of the current sub. That's not always a day I have money available for sub. I can, however, purchase Crown points any day I like without setting up recurring payments. And yes, I tried updating my payment options to pre-pay for a sub last month, but I was just locked in to payment on a particular date, so that would be another thing that would need to be changed to provide any way of prepaying (other than buying 3 or 6 month packages). It's in ZOS's interest to provide another means of payment and variety in the Crown store, and I'm not necessarily suggesting any particular Crown price. I'm also not suggesting that the Crown Store version of ESO+ would include Crowns, as it does for the existing ESO+ system, just the bonuses that so many folks dismiss.

    Quick addition to my own YES vote: I'd probably still subscribe to ESO+ as it exists now, but it would be nice to have the option of adding a month through the Crown Store if I didn't see anything else I wanted, or when I need to tweak the payment date.

    I clicked the wrong button sick of trying to use the full site on a mobile.

    This would be good because

    1. Say i dont want to buy anything but have heaps of crowns to use i can top up my subscription.
    This would only work if they first rework the eso plus to be separate to the the crown store and more about buffs and benefits not crowns.

    2. Later on if we can gift items to the crown store i could gift eso plus to say my brother.

    not sure how that would work.

    Considering plus comes with crowns, you would have to pay more crowns for a months sub than the amount of crowns the sub gives you.

    If you don't get crowns for plus you are paying for an xp boost and little else at the moment.

    Sure when dlc comes out you have access to that, but I suspect most people would rather save the crowns for dlc and if they already have a load saved, might as well just buy the dlc when it's released.

    Sure it would be good, however there should be the condition that game time purchased with crowns doesn't come with free crowns.

    My assumption would be that a Crown Store ESO+ purchase would not come with Crowns. It could, but that would be rather pointless IMHO. I'm mainly thinking of the ESO+ buff subscribers see in their character panel.

    I think you guys should relax, Im sure we will find out, why Crown Store looks like it does. My guess is xp/gold/research-time potions. Sure its odd to have 7k Crowns with nothing to spend them on. We all know something is coming.

    If you're having trouble with a $15 charge, I wonder how you can afford a gaming PC, an Internet connection or even electricity.
    You can always let the sub run out and resub when you have the money.
    Wololo.
