And you only need one of the subbers who spend a ton to make up for all the b2pers...most of whom spend such a trivial amount in comparison to the amount any subscription holder has spent.
This is to encourage people to subscribe - you want the bag - go sub
There will be little subbing happening because of craft bags, nobody who already bought DLCs is going to waste their money with subbing (because it would completely devalue their DLC purchases) and not many are willing to rent a craft bag for $180/year.
So yeah, plenty wanting the bag, but no sub will be happening, you can take your sub and *** off with it.
Well, you can't complain if you're not actually wanting it enough to pay the cost.

Firstly.. you have lived without a crafting bag for 2 years and now that it is implemented you tell me you can't live without it. If it would have been game breaking than they would have implemented it ages ago. But hey Fair enough.
Secondly you tell me buying dlc is more expensive than subbing, why are you not subbing then.
Thirdly eso sub players don't really get much for their money. They get the same amount of crowns as someone who buys them in the shop and in theory you could sub for 6 month just buy all dlcs and stop subbing. Then eso loses money. Hence they have to give you an incentive to stay subbed and a crafting bag being exclusive to subs is a great idea. It is neither game breaking to others nor a nessecity. But it is rewarding as it makes life a lot easier.
Lastly, I guess this game and the developers shouldn't be supported. I love how people buy a MMO and decide they should now get everything for free. Of course why don't you ask the developers to offer everything for free and work for free because you don't want to spend a single cent but want everything someone who is actively paying gets.
Just for your information this isn't communism. Imagine everyone would get the exact same as the person who is paying. You think anyone would be paying for it anymore out of the goodness of their heart.

Sure I can, that's the whole point of this thread.
People want it as a crown store item, not for free. Nice useless reply.
Also this "sub is ***" excuse is extremely bad. If subbing is so bad then why are so many people here subbed? Looks like you subs are lying.
How can subbing be underwhelming when it is 500% better than not subbing if you plan to purchase at least 1500 crowns per month?

I somehow wonder if you have actually read it properly. If I sub for 6 months I could in theory buy myself all dlcs and then stop. Hence eso only made 65€ off me and as I would already have all my chars to max level I could just stop subbing and wait for another dlc within 3 months that interests me. And as the most dlcs only cost 2000 crowns I would pay less than someone who has subbed.
So why should I possibly bother subbing afterwards. Their is nothing I still need out of my sub. Except they put something exclusive in that makes my life easier. Hence it is a good idea to make crafting bags exclusive.
And that last paragraph was not for the thread author but a lot of people think so in general in a lot of games and thats why I added it.
clocksstoppe wrote: »Maybe if they made more than 3 updates in 2 years people would have more of a reason to sub. Let's be real here, ZOS has been delivering an extremely underwhelming amount of DLCs and content updates since release and that is why you get this problem of "sub 3 months then stop". When their combined DLC price goes over the price of being a sub for 1 year, then subbing will of course always be worth it. So the answer to that is simple: make more game, and you will get more sales.
I really don't think you would be able to afford the cost of a Crafter Bag if they decided to sell it - the thing is invaluable as a subscriber benefit and to encourage their current subscribers to keep subscribing, and to bring in new subscribers. They'd really have to sell it for many hundreds of dollars to make it worthwhile to them, and then you'd be back here complaining again.

So then you admit the game is entering the p2w stage then.

They are selling the bag - or rather renting for $15 a month if you want full functionality. I don't have a problem with it even though I'm going to miss out, but let's keep the facts straight. I don't understand why so many people treat subscription perks as if they were free.clocksstoppe wrote: »I really don't think you would be able to afford the cost of a Crafter Bag if they decided to sell it - the thing is invaluable as a subscriber benefit and to encourage their current subscribers to keep subscribing, and to bring in new subscribers.

No, if they attempted to sell the bag it would be entering p2w

Sorry, I cut off stuff because I try to minimize my scrolling on mobile when I answer. Still, I only disagree with "they're not selling it" part - I don't think it's P2W either way, so I don't really care about the rest of that discussion. I do think they're selling it though: because if I want it, I have to pay $15. Yes, it's part of a bigger package I'll get for my money, but that's like saying my provider isn't selling me internet access because it's bundled with phone and TV.They are selling the bag - or rather renting for $15 a month if you want full functionality.clocksstoppe wrote: »I really don't think you would be able to afford the cost of a Crafter Bag if they decided to sell it - the thing is invaluable as a subscriber benefit and to encourage their current subscribers to keep subscribing, and to bring in new subscribers.

Now you're acting like that would be the only reason people subscribe. Most people currently subscribe because they love the game, and like to encourage the Devs to keep making things for the game. This bag to most of us is just a thank you. To others it will be a temptation and a reason to subscribe or to remain subscribed, but this bag is not the actual subscription.
Also you cut off the rest of my post which explained that statement more fully, cutting my words off as you did actually distorts what I was saying, and makes it seem like I was saying something I was not.

And yes, people will subscribe just for the bag. It's an incredibly useful addition we've asked for since launch. Even I am tempted and up until now I thought subscribing was a horrible waste of money. I don't care about any other benefits, including crowns, and I have zero loyalty to ZOS. But my bank is full, the number of materials only keeps growing and that crafting bag looks so very attractive.
So good job ZOS, your plan's working.(I'm still not going to subscribe)

And I have not seen anyone saying that it should not be a perk for subs just that it should be available for all, and that they would be willing to pay for it! Just not necessarily through subscribing.

BUT the crafting bag is something that SHOULD have been part of the game anyway - inventory management is a *** - and not something only available for subs.
The game is sold as not requiring a sub & as has been pointed out, this does almost set a nasty precedent.
