Should housing and barbershop be ESO+only perk?

    No, it should be earned via a particular quest in game. Since when are games less about playing and more about shopping.

    Just for the sake of watching all the non subs rage on the forums like they did with crafting bags.
    Yes!
    Anything to bring out the entitled rage of gamers.
    I really wanted to vote yes, for the same reasons, but I'll be nice. Things like this really should be purchasable with crowns as well.

    {edit for typo: ...purchasable with crowns, not with crows. Though that would be amusing. }

    Perhaps certain unique, non-breaking benefits to those who are subscribers. It is much more expensive to subscribe, after all.

    Could ESO+ have some special perks inside the housing system? Yes.
    Could ESO+ members get 1 free Barber shop change a month or something? Yes


    To exclude the majority of players from housing and Barber shop would kill the game IMO.

    A sub is like paying rent so it makes sense to add player housing to it.

    By that logic, paying Crowns would make you a homeowner.

    Either way, don't expect it to happen without a steep in game gold price. Sub or not, nobody is getting a free house.

    Not limited to ESO+, but:
    - Extra hairstyles / necklaces / hair colors / ... / for crowns
    - Exclusive hairstyle for ESO+ subs on accessing the barber shop for the first time

    Housing... I don't know, we'll see the features...

    Barbershop should be free, but Housing should be ESO+ only. It would make more sense for ZOS to do it this way. I have a character that I would like to change her hairstyle (I read a video that they will have a complete character revamp thing [no races will not be changed, we will be able to change our max lvl character race and appearance]. It will likely be in crown store). Something like housing (and these crafting bags) encourage players who are not currently ESO+ to become ESO+, which is a wise move for the developers (more so than some of their other decisions).

    In my opinion it should be accessible by all in the base game.
    Buying a house with gold. Basic barbershop changes with gold.
    Maybe with extra options via crown store and ESO+
    This for both the barbershop and housing.

    Yes, I like knowing that my subbing gains me certain exclusive items and perks; otherwise what would be the point of subbing if people can just buy everything form the Crown Store?

    Barbershop should be free for EVERYONE.

    That would be nice, but changing race should probably be behind some kind of penalty (gold/crown/human sacrifice) because racial passives directly effect role effectiveness.

    If they had a surgeon NPC like in Skyrim thieve's guild, that would be cool. Everyone could access it, but we'd have to pay gold for each reset.

    If they decide to go the crown store route, they should make it free to subscribers. They get enough crowns from other DLC (like certain 5k followers and 4k mounts!).

    There is no reason to spoil the fun and enjoyment of non-subscribers. We ESO+ members got a very valuable perk with the exclusive crafting bags and it does not take a lot more exclusive items. Non-subscribers are paying customers too, there is no reason to think, they would be less, just because they decide to pay in a different way for content they selected to use.

    this has to be the best reasoning I've seen thus far on this topic.

    No. No no no. This vote comes from an ESO+ member.

    Unlockable with a quest. Purchased and customized by spending gold on "basic" features, like various pieces of furniture and decorations. Barbershop should also be accessible as part of the base-game for gold, also with a standard array of basic customization options. However, for those *special* snowflakes who want to spend real money on exclusives, there should be (and likely will be) "premium" options for housing and barbershop available for purchase with crowns. I'd wager there will be crown-exclusive haircuts & tattoos as well as furniture & decorations offered as limited/promotional releases.

    In my opinion, housing and the barbershop should be implemented similarly to the way mounts, pets, and costumes are implemented. Part of the base game with optional extras available to those who want to spend crowns on them. Full disclosure, I will pay real money for a bean-bag chair covered in duct-tape.

    As far as interesting features with housing, I'd like it immensely if I could walk around my "house" and see my alternate characters lounging around the place. My alchemist would be in the herb garden, my enchanter would be in the libarary, and my provisioner would be in the kitchen, chained to the stove (where he belongs).

    Also, I do hope they don't simply drop one, single instance point in every zone's major city/town. That's boring. Some of us might like a more rural setting: grassy hills, snowy mountains, dark forests, sparkling rivers, clear beaches, maybe even deserts and swamps for folks who like their climates either too dry or too humid. Basically, I hope the options are as diverse and varied as possible. Each zone has its charm. I'd like to see that refelcted in the housing. The more interesting and visually stunning, the better.

    And of course, I'd like the ability to bring people with whom I'm grouped into my house. Sharing the instance will be complicated, I'm sure, but I heard player housing is meant to be a "social" feature, which I believe logically entails *other* people being involved. But no stealing! I will not tolerate anybody who covets my precious bean-bag chair.

    ZOS would be stupid to have barbershop as ESO plus only access just like they're stupid for doing it with the crafting bags. Yes, you give it to ESO plus members for free but then you also sell it in the crown store. Win/win
    Oooh, what do we have here? Another scrumptious young plaything straight out of life and into my club? Mmm... you smell new, little boy, like fabric softener dew on freshly mowed Astroturf. Oh, I'm not frightening you, am I, duckling?

    As mentioned before I think it should be like a dlc, subs get it with the subbing and everyone else get it through the store then everyone can have it :smile: Decoration or what ever can be bought at the store or better still crafted,, god knows there are plenty of resources out there.

    i think subs should be able to use the barber shop willy nilly .... i think it should be free for us all that pay to the active developement to the game ... maybe not all the time but maybe 1 free charactor change every month for having an active subscription

    housing well tbh i think it should be available to all ... however i believe subs should have access to better housing ive heard people mention peasants house keeps castles i believe if they are not a sub the only house they should have access to is the peasants house (i believe it to be very fitting)
