Why crowns are overpriced?

StanicEnemy
I live in a country where $ and € is very expensive,an example I want to buy dark brotherhood DLC but that does cost alot of money like if i wanna buy that dlc that will cost three day of work or maybe even more,i know ZOS needs to be paid to keep run the servers but why do DLC's are so expensive seriously? maybe for you guys its nothing 'cause most of you live in U.S or somewhere around the world where you can earn easy money and spend like nothing but I cannot do the same since dollar and euro exchanges rate very expensive.

    Sorry for your situation, but just because it is expensive for you doesn't mean others feel it is expensive. There's a lot there to enjoy with just the basic game. It may take some time but save your pennies until you can get the dlc you want. Good luck.

    Thank you,unfortunately the money exchange rate is very high at the moment,i wonder if there will be a DLC sale days.

    You answered your own question :

    - Because ZOS pays his employees with a strong currency and needs revenue in said strong currency
    - Because for other countries with a strong currency it's not very expensive
    - Because exchange rates are one of the most unfair ecnonomical mechanics for the individuals, but there's nothing anyone can do about it.

    Unless ZOS decides to differentiate its pricing policy depending on countries or currencies, you're stuck...

    Yes you are right.

    It might be worth you looking at ESO plus for one month. Not sure how fast you play but in a month you could get the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild completed. You would then have 1,500 crowns left over to put toward buying another DLC so you could pretty much get 2.5 DLC for the price of about 2,000 crowns

    unfortunately ESO PLUS and buying crowns cost almost same at the moment.
    Also, keep an eye out for Crown Sales. They happen pretty often and can be as good as half price which will reduce your DLC purchases

    There is a crown sale on steam like -%25,i would like to know if they make crown sale below -%40 or 45

    I really think they should base the cost for a DLC depending what country you live in. Someone should not have to spend 3 days pay just for a DLC.
