Why only 50% boost on the craftable/shop xp pots - should be 300%

Kharnamatic · June 2015

I feel that consumers, especially those paying for xp boosts in the crown store, are being cheated. A 50% xp boost is way below the MMO industry standard for such items. Now I don't like bringing up the names of other MMOs (especially not the big bad that every developer is in mortal terror of), but WoW has 300% xp items that can be found ingame (elixirs, from garrison missions) and you can buy 300% xp boosts with recruit-a-friend that last an entire subscription's length. Meanwhile ESO's friend bonus (ring of mara) is only 10%. In other F2P games like Tera or SWTOR you can buy 100% xp boosts, and SWTOR runs 12x (1200%!!!!) experience events.

I mean, come on Zenima, way to show off that you're a stingy scrooge and a money grubbing exploitative company.

Please, make the xp items give at least a 300% bonus to at least match your competition, and sooner rather than later, in a hotfix today or tomorrow not 12 months later "after console."

Who else agrees here? Let's start a petition/riot and get this movement off the ground! A MMO game only begins at max level/max CP, everything else especially questing/zones are simply wasting my time.

Well as i don't bother wasting my money on a xp pots i don't really care.

It's a simple marketing tactic though, you'll just buy more of them eventually until you reached what you want to be. There just getting more money out of you.

Pathetic attempt at a troll thread. I give it a zero. And the above quoted line from your rant will earn this thread a lock.

I think they should be 100% too as much as they cost.

Industry standard is irrelevant. What matters is the rate of gain of xp.

Imagine giving us 300% xp pots. we will all have 3600 champ points in a couple of months.

No real point in getting to End game too fast. No new DLC available yet.

You should quit the game now.

When you realize what Champions point are, how pvp is actually broken and that there is very little end game pve content. You will be very dissapointed just like me and thousand of new player to come. And looking at your post, Im sorry you threw 70$ or so in the garbage, because it pretty sure it will end up about the same as me when you realize state of the game.

Yes we reffering alot to wow because alot of us come from WoW what do you expect its 12 years old and old MMORPG player are looking for a new game. Just like me . But I already stop playing due to all of mentioned above. And it will be just the same for most of the WoW player that comes here and try the game.

But dont worry poster like @jamesharv2005ub17_ESO Are here to go in every thread and try to make sure the game stays in its current states... unpopular.

Dont bash the Original poster, he doesnt know what Champions points are and how its broken .He would never had suggested that if he knew.

That guy want to be cap level to do end game content (pvp and pve) and doesnt care about the lore and questing just like alot of mmorpg player because we all come from wow and wow is like this.

He just wanna raid you get it?

Hmm game is unpopular but just sold over 3 million copies on console and is in the top 10 best sellers for PC games on Gamestop. Boy if it gets any more "unpopular" they might have to hire some new people and expand.

He mentioned CP in his original post.

How many console games sold 12 years ago still have a massive active following?
Console games are made to be played, forgotten, or traded in for the next year's model.
If an mmo was a viable way of making a ton of money, then I'm pretty sure Blizzard would have already released a console version of that one game they are known for.

MMOs are new to consoles pretty much. I think people like ZOS and Cryptic are trying to break that mold.
