Hello friends.
Let me start with a disclosure. I am a ESO PLUS member. I want to take this minute of your time and throw a little advice out there for anyone new, old, subscribe, or play for free.
First and foremost, I understand how valuable and "powerful" craft bags are. I want to reassure everyone to relax, craft bags will inevitably come to the crown store before long; as it should. It will soon be treated just like DLC. Those who sub will have it, and as soon as a sub laps, it will stop as it does now. Also it will definitely be added to the crown store within 2 or 3 months. TRUST ME.
Next on the list is how MMORPG's work, how they are always under balance changes and constantly being tweaked. Contrary to those who complain with no real facts to argue their point, the Dev's do know what they are doing and they are doing their jobs extremely well. If a major game changing balance/content patch drops, you should not be coming onto the forums complaining about balance in the first few hours/days after it drops. As in any MMORPG you are going to always be changing your builds to suit the latest balance patches and figure out new ways to make it most effective. That is what balancing is all about.
Give up on an AOE Taunt for tanks. ESO is a very unique MMO which is a great thing for the genera. Each member of a raid/dungeon party is to be expected to hold your own in this game with the tank focusing on keeping the attention of the most powerful of enemies. This keeps combat exciting, dynamic, and everyone involved in dodging/blocking, and fighting. It stops the "everyone stand still like zombies and run through rotations" like wow while every single enemy attacks only one member of the party, the tank. AOE taunts should never come to ESO and beginners need to understand that each member of the party should have DPS, and self heals/damage mitigation.
I got more to say, but this is good for now because Dark Brotherhood just called and I have to take "care" of something. Good day!

✭✭✭✭✭For the most part I agree.
However, how do you know with certainty crafting bags will come to the crown store as its a good means to encourage subcitlions which generate more revenue than outright DLC purchase. The added ESO+ exclusive is a great business decision. The only way one could be certain Zos will add crafting bags to the crown store is being in their inner circle which would require a non-disclosure. The above statement would warrant a review of such an agreement.

✭✭✭✭✭If they put the bags in the store, they will lose a lot of subbers who will buy only the DLC they want and who would never trust ZOS again after they said it is an ESO+ perk only."Get off my lawn!"5 -

Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

Ultimately, any method of entering an enemy keep without breaking down the door is considered an exploit. Thanks for checking!

I was going to unsub and save much $$$ and outright buy the DLCs since they sell cheap. The bag is the reason I continue with my sub. Love how the bag practically emptied my bank.3 -

I'd like to enter into evidence exhibit A: Every video I don't feel like reposting of people flying around Cyrodiil from broken gap closers to Armageddon style meteor showers all here already on the forums .
We can all at least agree there's room for improvement no .2 -

As the friend after you suggested, show some facts please.
That said, as I said in previous posts on these forums, PVP is an entirely different beast compared to PVE and each ability and race should be balanced separate from PVP.
For example, for quality of life reasons only, when in PVE environments, shields should stay up for 30 seconds to 1 minute, where in PVP it should be a reactive ability you proc when you feel your opponent is going to hit you with an execution or nuke and only last for 5-7 seconds.
Also, trust me folks, your craft bags will be crown store items. Subscribing to ESO is good if you want to choose to support the game and get free dlc and crowns. On top of that, more than enough people complained about it. TRUST ME its coming to crown stores sooner than you may think.0 -

I just want to point out the irony of saying people make broad statements without any evidence to back up their claim, yet you then go on to just say "trust me" when concerning the craft bag. What evidence do YOU have?"Why settle for just stabbing your foes when you can roast them alive in a gout of arcane fire?"

A good tank can use inner fire (or whatever it's name is - the taunt that's fighters guild or undaunted) to aggo most mobs. I work with two players who are really good at that.
AoE taunt is for lazy tanks, and they'd probably spam it and and loose the aggro anyway.

✭✭✭FWIW with nothing morr thab my common sense and/or experience to guide me, i dont believe the current ESO+ CRAFT BAG WILL GO CROWN ANYTIME SOON.
If it does so within 12 months i will be shocked.
It is one of those festures that really comes into its own in changing day-to-day play and is much more than a large one dump in and out gain.
If it does go crown it will probably make the banker look cheap by its cost. I would expect 50% more than banker, based on impact.
