I'm fine with the present arrangements, it's now a fair deal for subscribers and a fair deal for those who want to contribute either occasionally or not at all. They've got all bases covered, and no doubt in time the crafting bag will be made available in a limited form to non-subscribers.
Why can't it be made available without paying to rent the content? Is that not a fair option? Everyone who gets the bag pays for the bag. Everyone contributes.
Why the need to make people keep paying of the same content? Seriously I want to know.
It doesn't seem fair that if you subscribe you get access to the content and perks. But if you buy the DLC you don't get the perks. The only way currently to get the perks is to rent the same content. How is that fair?

Not about being fair its called being a business. If a business can charge ya twice and make twice the amount its gonna do it.
Because the convenience outweighs the cost. Or we (the generic we...not trying to speak for everybody) simply see it (reserving some perks to incentivise folk to subscribe) as a reasonable practice.Mettaricana wrote: »I'm fine with the present arrangements, it's now a fair deal for subscribers and a fair deal for those who want to contribute either occasionally or not at all.

Why are we as customers so willing to bend over and take it then?

Probably because I'd only ever use my Crowns to purchase DLC in preparation for dropping my sub.Because the convenience outweighs the cost.

So if you as a customer use your crowns you get from subscribing to buy the DLC why would you not want a less expensive subscription that doesn't provide access to the content you already have access to?
In response to what someone else was saying about the company only wanting to make money. The old adage, happy cows make more milk applies.

But then again, I come from a game that doesn't allow you to use stipends for DLC purchases.
I'd much rather have a cheaper sub that gave me everything except the bonus crowns.
Perks only subscription:
Costs less then ESO+
No access to content through this subscription.
All other ESO+ perks provided.
Have it be 50% of the cost of the ESO+ subscription through each payment duration option.
50% of the crowns of ESO+ (6 months gets 4500 crowns not 9000)

My thoughts are if a player is buying all the DLC some sort of rewards should be given to them too. This seems like a fair reward plan which in conjunction with the DLC purchases would be on parity with the full subscription
you reward lack of quality, lack of suctomer service, lack of display that they are working on problems with money, why would they fix it if they know they will get paid even if they dont do it?

What ZOS needs to do (to make things right) is sell a DLC version of the Crafting Bag in the Crown Store. Problem solved!
I already am getting this exact same service on xbox one i cant access the doc areas due to crashing and un retrievable toons. So yeah i guess i am already

If you don't mind me asking.
I have noticed people say that they buy DLC with crowns that they get from subscribing. If you own the DLC why pay the full subscribing price to continue to rent the same content?
The crafting bag is useful way longer then leveling up.
If they make non subscriber champion point limits lower then the limit for subscribers that will be useful well after leveling up.
Keep in mind this is a compromise between buy to play and subscription that pays the company money upon delivery of new content and also gives them some money on a regular basis and still provides money coming in consistently.
Edit:
I'm personally disappointed that so many people aren't willing to provide a compromise for people invested in the buy to play segment of the game. If the subscription model failed and the crown store is what kept the game afloat then the buy to play people have kept the lights on. No one is willing to show them love? Really?

Considering no dungeons or trials were offered in DB one could have purchased all the DLC offered in the past year that provided group content. Basically, the would not be a good business decision and therefore will likely not happen.
While it would be more likley something would develop that would offer everything mentioned by OP without gaining any crown, it is still not likely. Makes the business model to complicated. There are two great options. No need fore more.

Everyone seems to want everything handed to them and expects sever costs, developer costs for new content and fixing bugs, forum hosting costs and paying staff that manage the forums and all that will somehow be magically paid by pixie dust and unicorns or some such.
Without real money the game dies. Stop crying for things free or things cheaper and trying to kill the game.

Because they want incentives for people to subscribe.
Subsctiptions are steady, constant income. They want as many people as possible to become that and not just buying x DLC which looksgood but not the next one.

This is a proposed subscription. It just isn't double dipping.
