    How can you spend 1300 on this game?

    I mean like, what is there to actually buy that costs that much?

    I've spent the cost of three DLC's, but that came in the form of subbing to get the most of the money. I won't sub again until two months months dark brotherhood now.

    preordered imperial, subbed, never unsubbed, never spent extra money on crowns (got ~10k unused).
    the value of the time spent in eso, probably eclipses the cost directly paied by several orders of magnitude

    well 1300 seems a bit off - I have nearly all what the crown store has to offer and what is not a consumable - and I have spend just about 350 - including imperial edition upgrade and adventurer upgrade, all bank upgrades and so on. I did not spend a lot on riding lesson upgrades, but still about 30 dollars went into that.

    Bought the game was subbed for a awhile, after crunching numbers, unsubbed and buy DLC's as they come along, I have only bought one item from the cash shop a leopard mount, my spending in this game has been minimal. As it is in most games.

    $554 USD or close to that since the time of launch over 2 years ago. That figure includes subbing 3 months at a time since launch, the cost of ESO Adventurer's edition and buying crowns once when they went on sale during Black Friday. I bought a few senche mounts, (ok all of the senche mounts), a couple of guar and a few horses, and 2 sets of exp scrolls. I haven't bought any costumes, potions, food, riding lessions, etc from the crown store.

    I think we have the same keyboard and mouse... I really like the keyboard but the mouse is ok.

    I would say it is worth it. The entertainment value is priceless in this game. I just wish they would fix a few things like

    If you mean how much did I send to ZoS, I preordered the Imperial physical edition. Later I got the digital Imperial edition for my wife and for my son. Have subbed since the start. Bought the big crown package a few times when it was on sale. Get the 6 month sub automatically at 10% off for prepaying 6 months. So probably around $500 or so total. That's not counting purchased stuffed animals and figures that my son liked.

    Same. Total spent on game since release has been less than a few months Comcast bill, so compared to time playing vs TV, this is very cheap entertainment. Even if I had money to drop on crown store, I would be very selective. Paying for extras is common now, but I'm an old gamer, and it feels like a scam to me. And the fact that more and more gets added to the crown store, making money for zos, while the game remains buggy just makes me resent zos.

    Not sure how much exactly I've spent.

    I've bought all DLC for two Xbox One's (including Crowns last night for Thieves Guild today after work) for the wife and myself, Mounts, Crafting Motifs, several Scrolls of Mara for the characters my wife and I run, and now some more for DLC because my son recently got into the game on his Xbox One.

    So yeah, even though I don't sub, I've spent quite a bit on this game.

    My wife and I don't regret a single penny spent though. We've enjoyed every minute of this game. :)

    Id imagine very easily.

    Game = $60
    3x DLC = $75
    Sweet Mount = $50
    XP scrolls = $10
    Full Upgraded horse $180/horse
    Costumes = $7-15
    Dwarven motif = $50


    well nvm. i cant think of anything else lool

    Identical to me :smile:

    Out of interest, of those who spent oodles of money, do you PvP, PvE, RPG, a bit of each, or what.

    Which is actually less that I thought it would be. I guess you could also add to that another £100 on merchandise.

    Never bought any crowns been subbed on main account since launch and subbed on second account from launch for a year (was sons account but he quit so I use it for storage and doing daily writs on all the toons) so whatever that comes out to be. Everything I wanted to buy with crowns I used with the free crowns from being subbed. Still have around 10k in crowns leftover. But if you add the cost for building the PC I built for this game (eso is my first pc and mmo game I ever played. Got addicted first month after launch so I had to build a proper gaming rig) a little over 5k on pc alone.

    So far I've spent $130.95 on this game. This includes the game's purchase, plus some crown purchases for imperial upgrade, Imperial City dlc, and other crown purchases. I don't sub because in the end I would end up paying way more and from my point of view the benefits for subbing are not great.

    I will get orsinium and thieves guild once the PS4 crown sale comes up this way i can get 2 DLC for the price of one, from what i've seen so far Im one of the few budget players here.
