+10% gold bonus for eso members?

In the past before the patch when a mob dropped gold, or we turned in a quest we got an extra 10% gold. So let us say 100g dropped, we should then receive 110g. Tonight I was looking and I was getting exactly when the mobs dropped or the quest provided without any bonus. It is possible zeni just worked the bonus into what the mob drops, but I doubt that. Could a dev please confirm we are getting the bonus were paying for?

    Ragun that's incorrect. I have been paying for the plus membership since it switched over. It is 10% gold, inspiration and experience.

    I've been wondering if it (ESO+ bonus) stacks with the fortune seeker passive or if it only calculates one or the other. I have no way of knowing because I've always had ESO+ and I don't see a difference with the fortune seeker passive.

    Do you feel it makes a big difference?

    ESO plus doesnt fell like it gives any advantage of a huge nature ... at the most i would be a quarter in front of my questing buddy who didnt have it ... If u add rings and a scroll then ESO plus does help far more but thats all the other things as well.

    I subbed for DLC access and to support a game I really enjoy ... the sub options for PS4 are shithouse though. You have to manually keep it going rather then a 6 month option.

    Still waiting for an answer from Zeni... bottom line is I am (and many others) paying for a service not being received. Whether its pay to win doesn't matter, we are suppose to get it.

    Does this account for not just mobs but quests, rewards from Cyrodiil, and even selling to vendors too?

    Fortune Seeker: Increases the amount of gold you find in treasure chests and safeboxes by 50%.

    The chests have more gold in later zones, but I don't remember getting below 22 gold, nor do I remember getting more than 89 gold. So, unless you're doing a lot of chests, its not going to be game changing.

    Well, I found 3 gold on an IC mob earlier, with ESO plus. lol When mobs in vet zones drop like 30.

    It should be two individual calculations off the base gold, one for the passive and one for the plus.

    100 gold x 0.10 = 10
    100 gold x 0.50 = 50
    100 + 50 + 10 = 160

    I still haven't figured out what it does with odd numbers. Like, 37 gold would be 18.5 extra with the passive and 3.7 extra with ESO+. You can't get 59.2 gold, so does it round up to the next whole number or round down? Since I don't know what the original gold amount actually was, I can't be certain.

    The lack of in-game gold doesn't concern me. It's more the lack of crowns being put into accounts on consoles that's the more pressing issue.

    Sounds like someone has a grudge against the mod staff.

    I have an update from Zenimax for anyone wondering. The gold bonus is now calculated before you loot. In the past if I looted 100g, I would receive 110g. Now you are just looting 110g, and not seeing any conversion. Hope this clarifies for anyone who was wondering about this like myself.

    I am an eso plus member and I have never seen it show two drops for gold, it always just shows the lump sum.

    Correct it did. However in the past you would get your gold drop and then a 10% bonus would be added. Now the bonus is calculated before the drop. I know this because I had an add-on which tracked how much gold I get. I.e. my character would pick up 20g from a mob, but 22g would be deposited into my inventory. Now post patch you would just receive 22g from the same mob.

    Who cares if they are getting an extra 10%? Everyone could have kept their sub when it went B2P.

    I'm not even sure how the extra gold is supposed to work. To items sell for 10% extra? Do 10% of the things have double value? Certainly if something is labelled as being worth 100g, it sells for 100g (not 110g).

    Maybe it doesn't increase vour gold in general terms - maybe only gold dropped by mobs. (In which case, not as great as I'd have hoped...)

    No, the extra gold only comes from gold dropped from mobs and quest turn-ins. Items sold sell for what the item is worth.
