Yes, it WILL be a crown store thing. They have to pay their staff to code the feature after all, and show enough of a profit from it for the suits to keep ESO going. ZOS is a business after all and not a charity - if it doesn't promise profit, it won't get done.You guys do realize this will most likely be a crown store thing like SWTOR right? I dislike this idea, but if it's free, awesome.

Welcome to capitalism.
Personally I have no problem with it. Since I am generally willing to put my money where my mouth is...
Oh, sure, I do hope that they might feel generous and at least have -some- changes with a mere gold cost. Everyday stuff like getting a haircut or changing makeup/warpaint/adornments...
But the rest, I'd happily spend my crowns on! Come on ZOS... let me adjust some small details on my characters and make them -just right-...
Sooner! Sooner! Sooner!
A lot of other MMO games have this. Lord Of The Rings Online & World of Warcraft. And many others, so yeah why not ESO? I vote yes, give us a barber shop.

I would like to point out that this thread is about a year old and therefore the poll is outdated. It is coming, but no specified date has been provided because there isn't one yet.

Title need to be changed to "TWO years have passed and still there is no Barber shop or something like that"
You guys do realize this will most likely be a crown store thing like SWTOR right?

Hey, I earned all my veteran ranks the old fashined way, I would not buy any levels even if they got money-grubbing enough to sell them!Putting the feature in the game would be a charity? Lmao ok. Nothing else to say here. I hope one day you can find a game that sells max characters with max gear that wAy u can sit next to a wayshrine in style.
I refuse to pay crowns for a barbershop, almost every MMO I have played have it in game for gold. Maybe some thing like a race change could be in crown store since its more involved with passives and all but not a barbershop.

What I meant was... coding that sort of feature takes programmer time.
Programmers usually prefer to be paid, because they too have bills to pay.
If they worked for free, it would be charity on their part.
if the suits in charge paid their programmers without aiming to make some profit from the customers, that'd be charity on -their- part.
Both are not likely to happen, since people have to earn money.
How about you? You willing to work your ass off in your job for weeks without pay? Hmm? If not, then you should not demand it of ZOS employees. And if so... post your RL info, since someone certainly is looking for a likely suck... uhm, I mean, new employee...
Now, if the game has sustained the subscription model... then yes, all that would have to have been included in the ongoing subscription payments. Duh. pay your monthly dues, and you can expect to see something for it.
But that ship had sailed and sunk quite a while back...
Now they have to make their main profit from the crown store, since only a few incorrigable ESO fans still subscribe, and the main bulk of the playerbase presumably took advantage of the BoP system to pay once, and then play, play, play.
And thus... expect to see them monetize pretty much everything they are gonna add. Special Mounts? Keep crowns ready. More costumes. Shall out crowns. Barbershop? Crowns.
Way of the world... way of ESO, now.
Me, I would be happy to put my crowns where my forum postings are, if only they game me barbershop...
Sooner! Sooner! Sooner!
