New ways to get Crowns.

EndlessLuny
I started this discussion on the right forum and everything already but no replies just 32 views so let me know if I'm Stupid for bring it up or what ever I'm just curious to what ideas and thoughts and opinions everyone has one the topic!


Who all has a Real life? Bills?Children? Groceries? Wife/Husband? We alll do not have the money to fork over to by an additional game or half a game... We still like the product that is in the Crown store though! ( I would like a mount and a pet with Deadric Armor motif) but dont have that extra cash..

What if there were other means to getting crowns? Would you do it?

Who would and Who would not? Reply in comment on here cause not sure how to set up a Poll on these Forums.

There is one way to get 1500 a month but you are still paying for them. I am talking like completely free way of getting Crowns ( no money out of your pocket just time). Thats Subing to ESO plus. Which is fine if you want to do that and can afford it but a lot of people cant still.

What if you set up a system to where you complete so may Achievments or kill so many monters you get X amount of Crowns, If you emperor you get so many, if your Alliance holds Cyrodlll you get so many Crowns. Things like that I dont know how difficult it may be to insert to the system but I think it could be benefical @Zenimax

What is the peoples thoughts and opinions on this topic? I'm sure there is be some that say they dont need it (cause you've paid ) then some say no dont do that ( cause they are wanting to use their crowns and prices may go up)

    This game isn't real life. Much like every other avenue of entertainment, if you can't pay, you don't play.

    Or... a person could work more overtime, get a second job, manage the budget such that you give up another none essential to have more for the game or find any other means to increase personal income.

    This game needs to be funded somehow with cash otherwise we won't have a game.

    The game is buy to play, I think it's pretty fair of them to charge for crowns.

    Plus, if there was a way to get them through achievements and what not people would find a way to exploit the hell out of it and not only make ZOS lose money, but really devalue the items in the crown store.

    If having a real life involves being chained down to a spouse and children while not having enough money to buy a couple bucks worth of crowns, then sign me up for never wanting that kind of misery.

    I'll take my good job, nice car, me time and extra money over having a real life any day. I know that sounds *** , but not everything can be free, and if spending a bit of money on a game is beyond your means, you probably shouldn't be playing them until you've worked out your life's problems first.

    Just a suggestion.

    Sorry you having issues in life and yep we all know how hard it can be but this will never happen and if you love the game it needs to keep making money. Good luck in the future.

    Once upon a sad, bored time in my life I played a chinese browser "mmo", totally duped at first I was unaware of the whale marketing technique and all it entails, but they had free currency that could be earned.....you could watch 400 videos and earn the same currency to buy that 40.00 mount..or signup for this (junk product) for this many.....anyhow, years later I still get junk mail for my persona(s) created just to keep up with the benjamins, it becomes a full time job in itself just to earn enough.

    To keep up with the free going out the door, the game has create more and more for suckers players actually paying to buy and the whole cycle becomes all about "what can we sell" vs "what kind of awesome content can we create"

    So to answer from my perspective, NO! I do not want to see ESO become this way faster than it already is. So I have to say no, I don't want to see "free" crown offers.
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Use that time that you would have spent playing ESO to earn Crowns and go get a part time job to pay for crowns.

    How meta!
    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.
