ESO Deceptively Expensive

ShadowscaleSithis · November 2016

You know what is worse than all that. Having only enough crowns for basic Orsinium and months laters having enough for the collectors edition and still have to pay full price.

There should be no way I have to pay full price for both the bsic and the collectors editions.

Why act shocked? You know this before purchasing. Why would you get the any race any alliance for free?

Also why do you think you would get banned for purchasing the explorer pack somewhere other than the crown store?

The game can be bought super cheap. Optional and completely cosmetics items should be expensive, have to make money somehow. Of course I don't think the price is that outrageous, definitely not to the point of comparing it to a Lamborghini or bugatti.

They don't.

They can choose to, sure. It's a convenience thing.

Choose to level an alt - free

Want it handed to you - not so free.

I haven't spent a dime on this game in over a year and play it just about every night.

That's not deceptively expensive.

Money is only relative to the one spending.

True. You can make your choices: class, race, gender, alliance, likes, dislikes, measurements, turn ons, etc while you are making your character. If it turns out you want to change, there should probably be a charge for it, otherwise it might just get done on a whim.

In beta I played a lot of different classes, races, and tried all alliances along with a little research on each so I would be ready for console launch. I tried to roll another character a few months ago. I could tell about 4 hours into it, the choice wasn't good so there wasn't much invested in it.

You could have easily leveled up a new character in the race of your choice for free. With the recent event it would have been fast and easy.

There is the free way. It is a choice.

you didn't have to. you chose to..... there is a difference.

as others have pointed out rolling a new toon is easy now.

Now imagine that living in a country where one dollar is like ~3.5 local currency

Crown Store pricing is not cheap but it is in line with other MMOs.

Wait till the boxes and the chase for mounts come.

less than 1 € = 1.1$

I've logged over 6 days only paid £10 for the crown edition of the game brand new, it costs what your willing to pay.

Gaming is a very cheap hobby. I paintball for instance. 1k for kit, 50 a day that I play. For 6hrs a pop it's a lot. Look at the amount of time you get for your money. It's cheap. Far cheaper than hooning about in cars, drugs (to an extent), hookers, it's even cheaper than a gym membership. Get over it.

Fek that for a hobby I play pool and thought my £80 a year membership and £3.70 per hour for the table was ott... Don't get me wrong though a once in a blue moon day out paint balling with group of friends can be a lot of fun.
