Scammers!!!
I really hate scammers, but like to hear other opinions. But has anyone seen the apparent new scam going around with the flawed as crap trade system.

Winterpsy✭✭✭Scammers are a common thing on PS4 sadly.
I spoke with 4 of my guildies, they were all cheated with this werewolf, vampire infection thing.
Most usually they take your money with the promise of a bite and wooosh, they run off, log off, teleport away.
Not scammers per se, this one other occurance, but very common: beggers. Anytime I visit a starter city they rush me. Either with stupid trade offers (argonian motif book for argonian character), or plain out begging for money. I even received friend request with money request in the greetings box.

On the PC side of things you can actually rate a ban for agreeing to bite someone and then running off.0 -

I think this is the same on console considering the same code of conduct on both systems inflicts the ban. On console you are always recording the game for the past 15 minutes, if you get scammed you have at least 15 minutes of footage which should be more than enough.

I always believed myself to be a good person, and I always charge ~6,000 a bite. Then again, I don't go around killing all of the blood fiends in the area. And believe it or not, there are more than enough people who are willing to accept said prices for said access to the vampire skill line (as I am a vampire myself). Especially nowadays, being as a lot more people on console have been apparently converting from werewolf to vampire.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭True story: I actually ran into someone once who'd just waxed two of the infection mobs. Werewolves as I recall. Who had absolutely no idea why people in zone were cursing his name.0 -

bites are a product like anything else and like typical drug lords they will do anything to monopolize it. I am just glad they didn't invent a way for people to sell that crap over the guild stores. PS you do know that zenimax is trying to get in on this market only with real money not gold.PS4 NA

1) that was data mined... so it's not official. Though, to your credit it is plausible.
2) That will effectively kill the artificial scarcity version of the bite economy. Though it won't kill the bite economy as a whole.
It will mean that if players are actively snuffing the spawns and trying to charge insane sums, then people will go to the crown store. But, if the bites aren't being monopolized like that, the crown store bites just represent an alternative to taking the time to get a bite naturally or paying pocket change for one.
Personally? I'm more okay with this than the XP scrolls.0
