ZOS should sell gold in the Crownstore :o

Alcast · December 2015

Because there is literally no possibility to make money in this game because ZOS killed most traders this patch and stuff is getting ridiculous expensive.

And I am not a flowerpicker myself so aint gonna happen

No, imagine the Buy-To-Win rage!

Real Smart: your idea just turn ZOS into a gold farmer of their own game. Selling gold will destroy any type of economy that ESO has. Some people's end game is trading (buying and selling), ZOS took some of that away already by selling couple skill lines in the crown store -- vampire and WW. ZOS already acted pretty dumb by that move and selling gold in the crown store is more dumb than that.

Zilch · December 2015

I want it to happen, purely for the entertainment purpose on the forums.

Why not give each bunny and squirrel one gold each?

ZOS destroyed the economy already, what do we have to loose?

I'd like to see the other way: Buying Crowns for gold

Personofsecrets · December 2015

This makes alot of sense. I would agree with ZOS selling gold for crowns.

Personofsecrets · December 2015

Oh, I just read OP and it seems like they are having some issues adapting to the economy.

@Alcast , as fine as it would be for the developers to put gold in the crown store (because they are the developers and can do whatever they want), you should consider adapting to the economy. It is really easy to make gold this patch. I think i had 500k of profit last week and hardly played. This could be a learn to buy and sell issue.

Thanks to the 'merchants' for working together in draining all the yellow tempers on the EU megaserver and putting these at almost double to double the cost as they were before.

As if gear is cheap to make already...

This is an MMO. What traders chose to do is just part of the game that everyone needs to adapt to.

Gargath · December 2015

I don't understand, I'm not a subscriber and never bought any crowns, but I'm in 5 trading guilds and never complained for lack of gold - I have daedric, ancient elf and barbaric styles, 8 characters, 1 veteran and 50k gold with all crafting gears and sets and I'm active trader with MM addon...

Why should I want any gold for crowns, when the gold in game lays almost on the ground

Turelus · December 2015

They should add a form of EVE Online's PLEX (as other games are doing).

Buy a time card for RL money, card is supplied as an item in game which can be sold/traded. This way players can spend RL money to get gold from other players who want to "play for free" with a sub.

Personofsecrets · December 2015

I think that it would be alot easier for players to just buy the items they want in exchange for their crowns. It is much more straightforward than buying gold and it could probably help ZOS make more money which they desperately need if they are going to start million dollar give aways.

BlackEar · December 2015

No thanks.

Only if you can purchase crowns for gold so I can buy DLC's without spending IRL money.
Otherwise, hell no.

Thornen · December 2015

Only people that would win from purchasing gold would be Zos, if you think the markets bad as it is now watch the inflation skyrocket if they ever did this.

NeillMcAttack · December 2015

This, I dont,... What???

Like, if this happened you could literally buy ANYTHING that can be sold in guild stores with real money. I swear, I would stop playing. The in-game economy would force anyone without real cash to spend away as prices sky-rocketed. The game would be completely broken.

Luckily though, I believe in the devs in that they understand this.

I would be for this option instead.

dude, I have made almost 30 000 gold within this week!

get into a trading guild with at least 300 members. get in as many trading guilds that you can.
go here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/, scroll totally down to "Guild recruitment", go to your server and platform there and find a guild. write them to invite you.

sell materials in bigger stacks - at least 10 - 20 pieces, sell potions, sell blue and purple stuff: weapons, armor, jewelry, food, drinks, recipes. sell stuff from IC mobs (plannar amor, claws, teeth,..etc), sell malachite shards, sell rare crafting motifs.....xivkin, mercenary, etc (if you can not sell it for higher price, sell it for a bit less next time). If you are on pc, get the addons: Awesome guilds store and Master merchant - very very useful for guild store trading.
craft purple items and sell them. I bought purple glyphs for my new set from a guy from my guild for 5000 gold yesterday! even if you want to get at least some money, sell dropped items to regular NPC traders.
do not expect to make high profit in guild stores with white items (not improved). almost noone buys them. even green and blue are there sometimes few weeks until someone buys them. also, low level items are not much tradable, sell them to local NPC traders. get to at least veteran rank, then drops will be also veteran rank items, sell those, the blue and purple preferably. if you find gold items and dont want them, sell them - you can make thousands for just one item. some items are bound on equip or bound on pickup - meaning you can not sell them, ZOS made this, for some reason, they should drop this in my opinion, but nevermind. You still can make thousands of gold if you learn what where and how to trade it.

If you have valuable items, you can even sell them in zone chat directly without guild store. I always see posts in the chat looking for traders, or looking for buyers.

my advice!

If ZOS would sell gold in crown store, THAT would kill the economy! as noone would need to trade anything!

you can still get them, find gold items,deconst, get the tempers and sell them for lower price and be the one who started the lowering of the price!

I disagree. no one would sell anything. all prices would skyrocket up. economy would collapse.

I made almost 30 000 last week. see my post above! and learn to trade!

The Bind on Pickup disease.

The only things that sell these days are mats, potions, motifs, and Agility/Willpower jewelry. If you're the kind of person who farms mats (buying mats to make potions is not profitable, so you gotta farm alchemy mats) or farms motifs, you'll be doing just fine.

For people who run a lot of end-game content, they're basically screwed. In the past, these people would make gold by selling gear (e.g., Footman and Healer gear from vDSA). Now that every piece of end-game gear is BoP (with the sole exception of the jewelry, which you get primarily by farming IC/sewers), people who don't farm have lost their source of income.

In one of the really big guilds that I'm in, it used to be that a large majority of their sales was gear--Healer, Footman, Ravager, Cyrodiil's Light, etc.--and it was a great way for people who run content instead of farming to make gold. Now the vast majority of sales are farmed mats, farmed motifs, and the trophy vault stuff from IC grinders.

This is not a healthy economy, as all it's doing is concentrating gold in the hands of the farmers who now have nothing worthwhile to spend their gold on since they can't buy any of the end-game gear. And in the long-term, when the non-farmers have depleted their reserves of gold, who'll be left to buy from the farmers?

The people saying that gold is easy to earn are missing the point. Yes, gold is easy to earn--if you are a farmer. BoP and the failure to update PvP sets for end-game have wrecked half the economy, just because you're not in the half that got wrecked (or a GM of a trading guild watching downward trending sales figures) doesn't mean that this won't be a problem that'll bite you in the long run too.

Either give PVPers better rewards or do this. I'm currently sitting on 4k gold and it's hard to maintain

well I am in 1 big trading guild and 4 not direct trading guild, but PVE guilds with guild store and I reguraly sell there blue and purple, many times non-set weapons and armors. the BOP and BOE is not good idea, I agree. but it is still possible to trade stuff. I am not a farming kind of person. I mainly enjoy content and do quests, I never had the intention to just run around the same area for mats to respawn and farm them. And still I can make much gold. Only first time that I farm is IC, for claws and teeths as I want agility jewelry from the trophy vaults. But by doing that I also get plannar armor and other stuff that I don`t need and sell them for good price.

I doubt he was actually serious about gold in the crown store; that was just sarcastic. His point is that BoP and the failure to update BoE sets has destroyed half the economy, which is something that you'd notice (and should be worried about) if you watch what goes on in the guild markets.

it is definitely either a troll post, or he needs to learn to trade. I gave him all advices that I know, it might help him, in case he is serious.

I agree with that part. BOP and BOE is non-sense and could boost the economy pretty much if ZOS would drop that. But for ZOS was it probably an easier and faster way to make money to make stuff BOP and then sell the motifs on crown store. But IMHO if they would let them be tradable, more people would be attracted to the game in longterm, so in longterm they would get enought money from players too.
