✭✭✭✭✭I have no problem with a little Cash Store Whale Milking now and again. It's the "limited time only!" thing that really bugs me.
Is it really necessary to play that overt gimmick? I mean the whales will offer their sweet sweet milk regardless and might actually feel less manipulated into doing so.
Just my 2 Septims.

willymchilybily✭✭✭✭I understand the OP feels the effort put into the limited time mount by the design team is not comparable to previous mounts and so the price is less value for money, but this is a null point when you consider the graphics team will do several varient's of a theme from which one is chosen after review. 99% of the work is already done they are not selling you it at that price because of value added. its all virtual money and virtual items, and the overhead is far less than introducing the mount in the first place because texturing and animations are already done.
it costs this much because:I have no problem with a little Cash Store Whale Milking now and again. It's the "limited time only!" thing that really bugs me.

people like to feel special and so are willing to pay to feel special.

✭✭What? Why? Why would you do that? It's just a recolour, nothing else. Why? That's the entire Imperial City.
I can - to a certain degree - agree with Nightmare Courser going for 2500 because it's supposed to be a "unique mount".
I can understand that you'd be selling the Frozen Mare for 2500 (or was it 2000?) because it's unique and has some special features.
But a recolour? It's not even a retexture as is the case with Senche mounts! Why would you do that? I mean, I would totally buy the Snow Bear - I love those damned beasts and as a fan of TLOK, I'd love to be riding one - without hesitation if the price was reasonable. But now? Why? 700 additional crowns because it's white, not brown? (that's racist)
Do not take this thread as bashing or whatever. I'm simply questioning why would you do that? What sort of criteria makes you think that a simple recolour should be worth that much?
I've been waiting the entire day for the bear to come into the store. I already had my epic moneyz prepared for the purchase. I ended up being like this:
Actually,it isnt just recoloring.The Snow bear looks longer and thinner with different paws.Its a Polar Bear. I checked it our carefully before buying.I didnt want a brown bear look alike.0 -

✭They're charging the same amount for this mount that I bought the game for. Forget market value, and economics. Bring in social economics.
People are ruining the market. Wasn't it in the 60s or 70s people actually stopped buying gas because they raised it so much? That quickly made the govt and oil companies reverse course.
Why have we stopped allowing companies to just take more and more from us? That's the biggest question. Vote with your wallet/brain and not your heart.0 -
Junkogen✭✭✭✭✭I don't understand why they don't try to sell more for less. Walmart has been very successful with that. Lower the price, more people can afford it, and profit goes up. Like ESO plus, make it $5 a month and I can make a case for it to be in the family budget.

Not only that, but MUCH more importantly, LOYALTY goes up, as does CONSUMER CONFIDENCE.
If we want to talk "social economics" it is really pretty simple. People with way too much money and not nearly enough sense are "soon parted" from the former by those with more of the later.
Yet materialistic society has grown SO desperate for validation that all their idle wealth MEANS something that they prance around in their Emperor Robes of the Moment believing they are making some sort of statement other than "P.T. Barnum was right."

Sure you CAN sell fewer for more, but then most people hate you. That may seem like "just good business" in the short term, but so did the actions of every short-lived tyrant in human history.
Having a disgruntled, toxic community is ever worse for business when marketing a SOCIAL product like an MMO.

Overall, it is a short-sighted and ultimately self-defeating business model. Capitalist greed at it's worst.

Tamanous✭✭✭✭✭To be fair Crown points are cheaper than most games per dollar. Compare this to what other's charge for rare mounts and it's not too bad for a premium option. Normal mount costs work out to below cost of most games. Most games are about a $1 a coin but ESO is close to half that. I applaud them on that ... and the direct Canadian coin conversion too in story instead of "OMG that costs what in Canadian?".
As other's stated though: it's optional. I hope we see more options in game as well and not just in cash shop.Edited by Tamanous on December 11, 2015 4:13PM0 -

You must not have really read what I wrote. I encouraged you to create a thread to continue supporting the prices they charge and to increase them if they want.
You say "Capitalist greed at it's worse." It's ironic you mention this because this falls in line with companies who charge excessive amounts for things because people like you don't bother to disagree with the price.
There is no catering to the few when it comes to lower prices. EVERYONE wins.
I'm not disgruntled. I thought I should mention this since you seem to think so. I enjoy the game immensely. I sub and am currently sitting on I believe 8400 crowns.
Does not mean I'll waste them. An ingame cosmetic for almost the same price of a full feature DLC. Absurd.

Yeah, I know, I'm poor.
Just so you know, Wal-mart has been successful with that model at the expense of the quality of product and at the expense of the companies that retail through them. My company (a record label) does business with Wal-Mart. They demand cheaper prices always, which means we cut corners. Cheaper packaging, fewer tracks, no liner notes, no photos, fewer colors on the printing, lower hit song to deep catalog ratio.
In the end, what do people complain about? The cheap products, which we get blamed for, not Wal-Mart. On a thread about corporate greed, Wal_mart should hardly be held in such regard. They're absolutely a part of the problem.Huor Melwasul - Archdemon, The Demons of Light - Warlock, Hufflepuff House - ADXB1 - NAI'm only updating this because we're commenting on a thread about signatures.

If it isn't worth that much to you, don't buy it.Dont buy, then they might consider reducing price. Thats how it works. If ppl keep buying everything at the opening prices, they will go up all the time.
You're *** right I won't buy it.Do you sub? If so then what else have you got to spend your money on?
If you dont sub, then how do you think they can afford to let you log on and use their servers?
I've been subbed since day one until the release of IC, prepurchased imperial edition and bought the DLCs, some mounts and some pets. I've done more than enough to support them (and I enjoy supporting them if I get my money's worth back). This, however, yeah, ... no.
Also, I'm a bit confused people are actually trying to find excuses for ZOS over here. It's actually pretty sad.
Yeah I totally agreed with you, i got no problem to support them, like they make something worth their price, i will Definitely buy them.
But the recently DLCs didn't make me feel they worth my money, $40 for two maps? With 2 group dungeons, 2 public dungeon and 20 hours of story content? I don't think they worth the money. I can nearly buy another game with it, which have much more contents!
Because i'm playing this game so i kinda feel like I was forced to buy the DLCs, otherwise I'm out. ZOS really have a higher price of EVERYTHING than other online games. But since so many ppl finding excuses for them, they are not afraid to do it. 'So many guys buying it, why should I reduce the price?'
Also, price is one thing, discount is totally another thing. If they need to raise the price during they doing discount, then wtf is the meaning of discount? I'm not okay with that rip-off.

Oh, gee. I don't know. Maybe by using the $60 we shelled out up front for the disc. You know, like every other console game does.
Umm...every other console game doesn't require maintaining a server for thousands of people to play on every day. This isn't like every other console game - it requires money for you to be able to continue playing it. If a developer/publisher closes it's doors after you've purchase their game, you can still play it all you want. If ZOS closes its doors or shuts down the servers, that's it.
Aren't the most popular console games heavily multiplayer based which rely on maintaining servers? Look at the Call of Duties, Battle Front or Destiny. Shoot, Destiny can even be considered a MMO and their money comes from disc sales and DLC sales. Seriously, what games are you use to playing? This isn't 1996 consoles. Almost everything is online and server based these days.

lufia22Soul ShrivenI never planned on buying the polar bear (I much prefer brown), but I scoffed at the higher price for mere color swap.
Sure, cosmetic digital stuff is already priced fairly arbitrarily, but this is just arbitrary on top of arbitrary.
