My wife: What's a craft bag?
Me: A separate bag to store all crafting materials such as the bananas you use to make food.
My wife: And how do I get it?
Me: Subscribe to ESO+.

$15 later...

My wife: I got 1500 crowns now.
Me: Yep.
My wife: What do I do with them?
Me: 'Shows her crown store'
My wife: Oh look at this adorable Pocket Mammoth! Must have. Oh and what are crates...?

$40 later...

I'm poorer and she won't leave the Dye Station. But she's happy with her Wild Hunt Bear.

I remember a simpler time when she showed no interest in this game.

    I'm sure they're high fiving the heck out of each over in some zos office right now after reading this thread...

    whomever came up with the craft bag for sub should have been able to comfortably retire by now...

    I used to wonder what was up with all the cosmetic stuff sold in the crown store...hmmmmm, it's all starting to fit together :)

    hopefully there's no crown sale coming soon...personally, I'm not sure how much more "savings" I can afford...

    Wifes birthday, bought her the banker, 15 crown crates and no apex, 15 more crown crates and no apex, 15 crown crates and finally an apex. Plus she has enough gems to buy an apex on the next crate release. But yeah, $120 later she has 2 apex's.

    Wish I could get my wife to play ... maybe if I installed another tv next to the one I played on and bought a second Xbox?

    Either she'd play with me or kill me

    I told my wife the craft bag is $15 a month investment.

    "I need it."

    $15 we don't always have for a video game.

    "But I need it."

    Now she subs.

    Thankfully she isn't crazy with the cosmetics. "$40 for an elk mount? Are they on drugs?" Why I married her ;)

    Same here, but I've taught mine a bit of restraint. I let her buy a crate pack once a month, she's a sucker for all things vanity and decorative. If i wasn't there she'd probably buy out the entire store and eat instant noodles for the rest of the month.

    This is a thread I've been waiting for lol
    Although I'd love to play eso with my other half we are just so different in the way we do things that I know I'll be sticking toothpicks in my eye after a short stint of playing together so I've turned her off wanting to play eso by under selling it
    and saying it's too finicky
    I know it sounds bad but trust me it's better this way for both of us :#
    Aussie lag is real!

    My wife: What's a craft bag?
    Me: Those $2 grab bags at Michael's with clearance seasonal items in them.
    My wife: Oh look! They have Poop Emoji pillows. In pink or blue. These would look so appropriate in the guest room.
    Me: Sure. So long as there are absolutely no follow-up questions.

    And that is why I don't know a single woman who has ever read a realistic time travel romance.

    I bet you haven't told her about the 50% off crown sales yet have you?

    If you do, she'll make you buy twice as many crowns so she can get twice as much stuff because that way half of it is free.

    She'll be saving you money.

    For me it's the other way around - I'm the wife who got her husband into playing ESO. We now both play together and couldn't be happier!

    Indeed, he plays more than me now! :)

    * Oh, and neither of us buy clown crates! :pensive:

    Rule #2: True immersion is RL.
    Rule #3: RL lag is wonderful.
    Rule #4: People matter. Pixels do not.
