CrownStore side of Homestead is incredibly inconsistent on prices and need reviewing

I'd like to start off with, I really like housing I think it's an amazing addition for the game and I have shown support and gone and dropped I'd say about $200 in crowns by now and upgraded my house a fair bit made it look quite nice, it's great how addicting it can be and how much you can show off your creativity and have people come in and seeing how they react is great.

Now coming from that, my general feedback for this -- the crownstore version to be precise, it is incredibly absurdly overpriced, there is utterly no justification in the prices that are labeled here. I believe the crownstore is a great thing to be had and it's going to cause a lot of money business wise, but the worth with these price tags are just out of control.
From a point of view from the consumer after had spending that amount of crowns, I feel like I have been ripped off, I feel like there is no reason to come back and it is just a little spree on release and from hindsight it probably wasn't a good idea to have put that amount of money onto it. For a quick example. I'm going to show off a very basic item

A painting costs 410 crowns? A painting?
Purely cosmetic purposes 1 of these costs almost 1,000 crowns I personally can not figure out the cost of this. Green items shouldn't be worth over 50 crowns, blue over 100, and purple over 150. For these type of standard cosmetic items. Statues I understand. But come on Zenimax, there comes a point where after dropping down two of the 5500 crown packs the consumer is going to feel horribly ripped off and wont create a steady balance.

No prices in the crownstore are consistent either, there is so many fluctuating price jumps between items. It makes me wonder if any of this has actually been reviewed.

My next concern, is the worth of the manors, the other houses I think have got perfect price tags for crowns, but then take a look at the Manors, upwards to over 10,000 crowns, and I'm speaking of specifically the furnished versions. A quick look at the furnished AD Manor. (This item costs 12,500 crowns)
pPn0DMY.jpg
The houses are amazing, I have no criticism there at all. But for a 12,500 crown price tag for a furnished house... which you get almost next to nothing in terms of what is included, it seems a little.... too much? ESPECIALLY with the crown store prices and how much money you are needed to invest in this.

I really hope you guys look over the crown store prices because to be honest they are incredibly pricey and hefty, I mean upwards of 300 crowns for a tree. There comes a point where you feel like the money is wasted and you regret it and don't want to invest anymore. And for me, that feeling is close.

I just want to add, I have absolutely no problem with using crowns, I actually prefer it because of my playstyle and I love supporting the game, but as a consumer and someone who likes to support your company, I feel like you are ripping me off. I'm not asking for any refunds or anything like that, I just hope this gets reviewed and adjusted. For long term use.

Thank you.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why criticise after the event? By spending money you've already endorsed it, you've told ZoS you're willing to purchase this over priced junk. ZoS can't tell the difference between money that has been spent in spite or because it's been spent out of satisfaction that the prices being asked are reasonable.

    Same thing happened with Crown Crates. Some of those people moaned and moaned about them, yet still purchased them and continued to moan when it went as expected. Purchasing anything when the price is clearly stipulated is an endorsement for that particular pricing structure. I'm not meaning to come across as a ***, I'm just genuinely baffled why people do this.

    At front the prices don't seem too much, but when you actually start to get into it and buy more, the prices really stand out. Sure it's part on me, but like I said I really don't mind dropping money, I'd just appreciate to get back what it is worth. And I genuinely don't think these prices have been thought over too much, especially with the amount of inconsistencies.
    And with my type of playstyle, I don't really put gold investments into this, so really crowns is the nice spot for me, and I'm sure for others too.

    Crown crates are sort of different from with housing so I'm not sure why you mentioned it.

    Maybe this thread isn't what you are looking for, if you are just going to question those who spend money.

    Funny thing some things were cheaper on pts rocks used cost 10c now 30 there a tree in game used cost 400g now 13,000.

    In regards to some prices it seems like it was done without humanity. They looked at what people bought slot in pts like wood elf bedroll was far cheaper but ... I bought like 100in pts to build roads in the sky....And now.

    Thats what Crownstore is, its optional, if you dont want to play, you pay. If Crownstore stuff is too cheap, then everybody just buy everything instantly. They want to encourage you to play the game. Its damn good if you think casual vs hc debate.

    No, I'm baffled why you're complaining about the money sink when you're happy to use that money sink. You've done nothing but endorse it by purchasing the items you've purchased. Why would ZoS lower the prices when those unhappy with the pricing still purchase those items? Would make zero sense for them to lower prices if you'll buy them anyway. The only way they're going to lower prices is if those putting their complaints down in writing don't purchase anything.

    I understand that, but there is a huge population that wont be doing stuff in game, and the population that does stuff in game is going to be the minority. And to create a long lasting support of the crownstore version, prices should be consistent and not absurdly overpriced.
    Like I said I'm fine with paying, but there comes a point after you've finished your house and you think, was it really worth it.

    I don't believe I have purchased anything since I had this thought a day after release. So no, I am not still purchasing the items. I'm pointing out the consistencies which will cause the consumers to turn away.

    You said this better than I could. Zeni have made housing and furnishing a single major purchase (too expensive for many players), when instead they could have encouraged regular micro-transactions. I would love to know how they decide on Crownstore pricing.

    *rubs politics stick furiously*


    Just to clarify, does one purchased item in the crown store equate to one placement of that item or an unlimited number of them for your use? I assume it's the prior, but clarity is nice.

    Either way, err, yeah. I can't say it's pleasing to imagine dropping something like $3 on a single painting, after already having to drop something not far from the price of a dlc, or over if a manor (if one were working entirely off crowns). Methinks they could have done well with offering a stipend of furniture you pick yourself with any housing purchase, tweaking the prices down, but then I guess this is what's meant to keep us busy until Morrowind comes out.

    Uh, you're funny guy, you say you dont have problems to spend money but yet you do. Maybe the high prices are preparation for the future. Of course green and purple items needs to be difference, otherwise players get wrong assumption of them and about the game.

    I don't have an issue, but I like to get the moneys worth, as would anyone. And with a pure cosmetic feature with no actual feature to it, I think it's lacking in that department.

    So, people want Crownstore Balance now? This is first for me, trust me Ive followed this genre since the 90s, but I suppose its the time as the genre moves forward.

    ESO's Crownstore was never meant to be balanced, it was meant to have high prices, so people actually play the game.

    You can have the same product twice on the shelf, one in a fancy packaging and one in cheap plastic. The majority of customers will buy the fancy packaged one that's $20 more. Even if you tell them that it's literally the same product 3 out of 4 will still buy the pricier one. Just to be safe (and other reasons).

    I admire anyone taking a stand here or providing feedback, but really the only thing that will help is to craft your goodies, once that comes out in a few months (whatever timeframe) for review that stuff doesn't sell ... well I guess then it will go as a filler into the crown crates :D

    Uhh no I think they would prefer people to pay them for playing the game rather than have a bunch of freeloaders on their servers buying everything with their free game currency instead of actual dollars that have actual value.

    The gold prices and difficulty of gaining mats and recipes was supposed to steer people towards the Crown store, but I think someone at ZOS who decides pricing might be getting paid a little too much and no longer understands how much normal people are willing to pay for things...

    sFxWTqH.jpg
    jtHX8fT.jpg
    A painting costs 410 crowns? A painting?
    Purely cosmetic purposes 1 of these costs almost 1,000 crowns I personally can not figure out the cost of this. Green items shouldn't be worth over 50 crowns, blue over 100, and purple over 150. For these type of standard cosmetic items. Statues I understand. But come on Zenimax, there comes a point where after dropping down two of the 5500 crown packs the consumer is going to feel horribly ripped off and wont create a steady balance.

    No prices in the crownstore are consistent either, there is so many fluctuating price jumps between items. It makes me wonder if any of this has actually been reviewed.

    My next concern, is the worth of the manors, the other houses I think have got perfect price tags for crowns, but then take a look at the Manors, upwards to over 10,000 crowns, and I'm speaking of specifically the furnished versions. A quick look at the furnished AD Manor. (This item costs 12,500 crowns)
    pPn0DMY.jpg
    The houses are amazing, I have no criticism there at all. But for a 12,500 crown price tag for a furnished house... which you get almost next to nothing in terms of what is included, it seems a little.... too much? ESPECIALLY with the crown store prices and how much money you are needed to invest in this.

    I really hope you guys look over the crown store prices because to be honest they are incredibly pricey and hefty, I mean upwards of 300 crowns for a tree. There comes a point where you feel like the money is wasted and you regret it and don't want to invest anymore. And for me, that feeling is close.

    I just want to add, I have absolutely no problem with using crowns, I actually prefer it because of my playstyle and I love supporting the game, but as a consumer and someone who likes to support your company, I feel like you are ripping me off. I'm not asking for any refunds or anything like that, I just hope this gets reviewed and adjusted. For long term use.

    Thank you.

    All the items you buy with crowns as far as decor can be made in game. By buying it with crowns you opt to skip the creating this I think it being more pricy is acceptable. Don't like the price then go craft it. Also I did some math the difference between furnished and unfurnished is minor if your where to add up the cost of each price of furniture you get you would see it is around 5-9k where you only paid 2-3k more

    I wasn't aware some of the pricing was changed. I was pretty put off when I saw on PTS a tiny cup would be 400 crowns.

    I'll definitely dig into it a bit more when I'm decorating my home and come back here with more thoughts. I like you really figured adding some things with crowns would be nice. Easy to use, easy to get and I just plain don't have enough gold or time. Though if things are overpriced I won't be able to mindlessly buy as I figured I would.

    I haven't checked yet, but you should be able to buy them at a vendor for gold.

    Nice overview here but doesn't say the source.

    As far as I know, no. Someone has said that all of the Imperial furniture is ONLY available on the crown store. Regardless of whether one had purchased the Imperial Edition or not. Additionally, I believe some trees and stuff are crown store exclusive.

    Trees are going to be the most common items in peoples homes, why price them like that.

    WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL ?!?

    These trees you see in there you can buy for ingame gold (not gated by anything else) for prices between 1-25k (?), this feels quite literally like exploiting people who have not informed themselves out of their money ...

    Now coming from that, my general feedback for this -- the crownstore version to be precise, it is incredibly absurdly overpriced, there is utterly no justification in the prices that are labeled here.

    Yes, the prices are outrageous. On PTS the highest price proposed was 400 crowns, many people (me too) wrote in the thread it was too much. Now, live, a redguard chandelier costs you 860 crowns... Are you kidding me?!!?! A single chandelier?!?!

    I won't WASTE any single cent in the store because I think they crossed the line of the decency and, in my opinion, it' s not worth it. Maybe, one day I'll craft all the furniture I want, maybe not, we'll see.

    But one thing is for sure: complaining AFTER spending is useless, no chance that ZOS revise the prices if you guys buy all this stuff as it is :)

    Another good example is the crown store test dummies (2k for robust argonian / khajiit ones) and the crafting stations (between 1.5-3k), but then when you look at the Master Writ merchant the robust dummies are 200 vouchers and the crafting stations are all 35. I don't know who decided the crown store item prices, but they are super out of whack, lol.

    Based on comments I've seen in this thread, I don't see why people seem to think people can't choose to do something, and then later look more closely at it and think it was either a mistake, or could have been implemented better, and want to let the creators know.

    Sure, they chose to do it for a while, but are now choosing to no longer do it because they have decided it is not worth it to them. Either way it's lost, either present or future, money for ZOS. And is not useless, IMO, to be complained about.
