Yes it is stated as a bundle, however people are complaining you can't buy items like the skin by itself, since people have already bought the horse when it was only 2,500 crowns in the store. So 5500 crowns for A skin is a complete rip off.

Why are loyal ESO Plus Members being punished? We DO NOT NEED the DLC (some of us already have it and some just keep subscribing)!

I feel ZOS made the right decision with this bundle. If you didn't buy the items separately when they were available, now yo have the option to buy them again. Don't need everything else included in the bundle? Well too bad. You should have gotten it when it was available originally. That's the bonus for buying it when it is first released. I'm glad they did this because I don't want everyone running around with the skin and horse I purchased. Keep up the great work, ZOS!

Agree it would be much nicer to buy the items seperately. But I checked prices and without the IC DLC the items would cost you 4700 crowns. So you are getting IC for about 800 crowns.

It's a good deal if you don't have the items, not so good for those that bought some of the items seperately.

Individually the items cost:

Mind-shriven skin - 1200 crowns
Mind-shriven horse - 2200 crowns
Daedrat - 500 crowns
5 Crown XP scrolls - 1000 crowns
Imperial City - 2500 crowns at launch

You can work out if it's worth the crowns. But on another note I suspect this may well be the last time before the crown rng boxes come to buy the skin and horse.

Technically, I would list the Imperial City DLC as 1250, since that is the price it will be while the Bundle is available.

So the total with 50% off the IC DLC is 5250 Crowns.

You are basically paying extra because they are no longer available separately, regardless of how you do the math.

Yes, and because they are highly sort after as well. It would be nice for ZOS to credit some gems for items they already own to spend when the new crown boxes hit the store.

I really feel they should separate these items again for players who have already purchased some of them. I already have the horse and the dlc. I originally thought last year that the skin was the same as the one in the sewers. I found that to be incorrect after it was gone. I want the skin, but 5500 crowns for just a skin is ridiculous. Please help us out, @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom.

Is this a surprise to anybody? ZOS drops a stupidly expensive, poorly thought out insult to the fanbase. Becoming more greedy and activision-like by the minute

Honestly, the only problem I had with this is how this impacts getting the DLC bundle when they start being included in the base game. I wanted the horse and the skin, but I wanted to wait on the actual DLC so I could buy them in a bundle. So I am wondering if they will have various bundles maybe? For those that have purchased some but not all of the DLCs? I'm a plus member so I haven't felt the need to actually purchase any of the DLC's yet.

NOT TO MENTION, trying to sell single DLC "bundles" right before they start being included in the base game? What is that all about?

It's okay guys. The pet rat is available for purchase separately. Thank the Gods

Seriously though...

I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by this so-called "bundle". Why not just go ahead and make Crowns a perishable purchase too? I mean, might as well force people to spend them instead of hording them all in false hopes ZoS will release something sensible.

This isn't a good deal. It's not even a deal, especially if you're subbed. As for the white-knights pulling up details about the "bundle", explain why the pet is indeed available separately for purchase. Why is the Imperial race available for purchase without having bought the Imperial Edition? Why is the bear mount available outside of the Wrothgar DLC? Why did they fix the emote "bug" just to have it monetized with "personalities"? Why is the Hist Guar available to purchase outside the SotH Collector's Bundle? Lastly, does ZoS like you to gag or hum?

Folks if you have not figured it out already ZOS cannot do anything right. Why a player would have to purchase the entire bundle especially if they had already purchased the IC DLC at a earlier time is totally ridiculous. However, ZOS is a company that has shown time and time again that they are ignorant and pathetic.

Well, they're not ignorant, they are a 'for-profit' BUSINESS that is here to make money, not be people's best friends or give stuff away. They probably felt that if they offered previous 'limited edition' items individually again, those who bought them prior would be upset... but if they offered them in a BUNDLE, then if someone really wanted them, they would have to pay a premium for them- as in much more than they were offered originally. Either way, ZOS is here to make a profit, and they have been demonstrating that quite aggressively lately.

Someone need to tell them that being friendly to customers will yield more money in long terms.

I just can't believe people need to repurchase the whole thing for a full price...

Why can't they do it like Blizzard, bundle prices are dynamic according to stuffs you already own. Now in here it's just punishing your loyal costumers for already bought your stuffs before.

Well here is the thing... they've recently, increasingly, started adopting a PRO-NEW player scheme... which culminates with One Tamriel... which Matt Firor even stated One Tamriel was 'especially for new players'. I think they believe that current and veteran players aren't buying as many things so they want to focus on what NEW players 'don't already have'... sad, but it seems to be true based upon recent decisions.

I bought the DLC when it came out even tho' I didn't have to since I am an ESO + subscriber. To get these rare other items in the bundle I'd have to buy the DLC for a third time!

C'mon ZoS do the right thing.

I f*cking sold out. Had been a sub for like 8 months but didn't purchase a single DLC... Decided to get the bundle because yolo. The DLC by itself has no value to me as the day when I stop my sub is the day I'll stop playing as in my opinion its either you support the devs to the max or you don't play the game. That's just how I function though. I only wanted the damn skin and the horse to start with... Then I though well at least I'd have 10 hours of CP grinding to do! I didn't even see they had a pet in there so I guess I'll just put it on because I f*cking paid for it.

The Dev tracker is a little quiet, so I'm not expecting a response. At this point, I don't think there's anything they can do. I've begun to accept that we will not be able to get the skin or horse separate from the DLC, and since I have it already, I will not buy it again.

This action won't go unnoticed. I'm adding it to the list of decisions ZOS had made that I don't like. In the long-run, it may or may not drive me to move to a different game. Not like it matters to them anyway, they're mostly focused on new players not the loyal/old ones.
