please put Gold in crown shop for purchase

RDMyers65b14_ESO · January 2016

It's funny how people think that you can 'win' a RPG. Yes, you can make it to the top of the leaderboards, but someone else will always beat the highest score. You can take the entire map in Cyrodil, but the next morning, it will be a different color. So, there is no 'win' as it is all temporary. The only 'win' is your enjoyment.

But, gold does NOT need to be a crown store purchase as it would completely devalue gold. It would kill the sense of accomplishment when you are sitting on a sizable bank account. I have never had more than 100k gold in the bank, and I have been here since the November 2013 beta. If gold was purchased through the crown store, the in game prices would skyrocket. If you were to try to buy a 10k item, if gold were purchased, it would cost you 1 million or more. Why not if gold is that plentiful. Do not underestimate human greed. The only way to get the price down is not to buy if it is too high. There are other ways to get everything you need in the game. When the items in the guild stores come back after a month, a smart seller will lower the price. Look at how much dwemer pages have dropped in price. They used to be 100k or greater. Now, they are 2k.

Player housing might be expensive at first as ZOS hasn't said anything about the costs, but as far as we know, it might be only available to plus members. We don't know yet. I do think that it will be free or discounted for plus subscribers.

Absolutely not.

No x100

Worst idea/suggestion to be brought on here.

For one, say goodbye to your chance of ever seeing any decent BOE items in the trade stores because people who have extra couple hundred bucks each month like myself would buy up every single legendary rare item and then gouge the crap out of it.

This is P2W

NOPE

How is this pay 2 win??? He could get the gold in game just doesn't enjoy or have time to do it. As the folks at ZoS would be quick to show this would simply be convenience .

Great idea.

The same could be said about literally anything else that's P2W. Levels?, Skill lines?, purchase AP, or CP?

But, but .. what if people don't want to spend time doing these things?. Just plop them on the cash store?. It's just "convenience" lol.

Actually yes, as nefarious as it would be it is still just a convenience factor...

While I'm against the idea simply because of how eso is structured, people need to understand the difference or rather the actual proper definition of "pay to win".

paying to expedite a grind is not p2w by defualt, but rather a morphed and mangled mentality of younger gen gamers.

P2w by its very definition was conceptualized from f2p games which offered player power via items that were not obtainable by regular in game methods. By today's mmo terms, said items would be BIS and impossible to earn in game or have any equal alternative, literally placing the player that chose to spend money at an advantage that non cash spending players could never match.

This would not be pay to win. But still since alot of valuable acc. are boe in this game, it would be a pretty scummy thing to do.

william19882007 · January 2016

i really hope this wont happen. some people like working for there gold. when games do this there is no work needed to be done u just pay real money for gold and have everything at ur hands. what would be the point in play a game where u earn gold by doing things when one could just buy the gold. no thanks i would rather work hard for the gold i have then just pay for it.

"Pay to win" may have started in the literal sense of the termination. But it has since been generalized into a basic term used, when games offer a way to pay real money for in-game items/services that cause the player who purchases the said services/items to gain advantages within the game over others who don't 'pay' for them. Or hinders players who don't make these 'real money' purchases.

Purchasing gold with real money would affect everyone who uses the said currency.

Sounds to me like somebody trying to make an argument using literals, and paraphrasing statements to obfusticate the actual meaning of the post.

Dear Zos
Even if 99.9% of your players ask for these. Please dont do it.
Thank you

Are you kidding me? THAT is called pay to win! No one enjoys grinding for gold, but you have to PLAY to win, not PAY

Moonshadow66 · January 2016

I never understood why anyone would BUY potions. It doesn't take much to mix your own.
As for the actual topic, I'd say "no", for the same reasons other users have stated here already.

Preyfar · January 2016

Echoing others when I say: No. Nope. Please don't.

Crown Store should offer items of convenience, not "pay to win".

ajwest927 · January 2016

So you want to create two type of player, those who earn their gold and those who pay for their gold that would spilt up the community and destroy the economy.

Luhx · January 2016

Hell, ive seen games where the rich players would sell THEIR In-game gold for real money. Trust me, its NOT worth it. You will throw away/delete this game later on and wish you hadnt spent real money for crap like that.

FortheloveofKrist · January 2016

NO

effin

way.

Nales · January 2016

I dont think no one agrees with u bro, revaluate your idea and think of a different solution

reguvin · January 2016

No thanks.

Pay 2 win Sucks.

Lazrael · January 2016

I sympathize with where you're coming from, but that would break any sort of economy that the game has in place. Lest we forget what happened to Diablo 3.

Forumer-in-Prison · January 2016

NO!

Delete this stupid thread.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · January 2016

That is a terrible idea lol

However, if you really have crowns burning a hole in your pocket and need gold, why not just buy Motifs with them and sell them in-game?

NewBlacksmurf · January 2016

It would be impossible to offer crowns for gold without unbalancing the games economy further.

Right now having access to buy, pots, and food tho are crown items so in context, why is the desire to buy gold rather than buying what you describe as where you spent most of your gold....all of these are in the crown store now and so you wouldn't need gold.

Repair kits
Soul gems
Food
Pots

Waseem · January 2016

its so easy to make money that i start to think people do have lots of cash but dont admit :P

Such items from the crown store are "account bound". Only he would be able to use them.

Forestd16b14_ESO · January 2016

Let us see how many "NOs" we can post before ZOS shuts the thread down.

NO NO NO NO NO.

If there is a worse one than this, then please someone post it.

let people be able to buy skillines and gold with real money?

Korah_Eaglecry · January 2016

Buying gold from the Crown Store would most definitely destabilize the in game economy.

Shelgon · January 2016

I dont agree with this, but idk how it will make the game P2W either, someone mind explaining it to me?

Oh, if I could do that, my biggest real life problems were solved.. and along with that, some others as well.. *sigh*
Let me see.. one gold for one €, even a thousand gold for one €.. yes, that would do it.
Instead I'm giving away tons of in-game stuff to friends (sometimes even to strangers) for them to have what they need or desire, so I'm happy nonetheless

Basically making paid shortcuts for people to reach top tiers in the game as opposed to actually having earn their way to becoming powerful.

it breaks the economy so bad that you actually have to pay money to be competitive.
with the highe grinds for materials and ger (if not everything was BoP) it would make things so expensive that you will have to spend real money in the game to be on par with the rest. that is how it will become P2W, might not be instant but wont take more then 3-6 months

Julianos · January 2016

Worst suggestion ever on this forum. Its mmorpg you need to spend time for other things if you just wanna do pvp you can try LOL or CS:GO

Also if you do a lot pvp you can sell your AP or you can sell akaviri style motfis

Vaoh · January 2016

No way! If this happens it'll only take a few big spenders to mess up the entire in-game economy. You thought 12K tempering alloys on PS4 were bad? Lol

Probably the single thing ZOS could put in the crown store (next to buying CPs, AP, levels, etc) that would make me quit. Absolute 100% NO. Sorry, but it's a horrible idea.
