    Yes I know, I have most of them. Just thought it was funny as all the other "rares" were sold for 5000 crowns. They just gonna keep jacking the prices I guess.

    Its extremely cheap right now in the Guild Traders. I bought all the pages before the Anniversary Event and was able to get all the pages for rather cheap then. Now theyre even cheaper. Dont waste your money.

    6000 crowns (4 moths of subscription) for motif which is cheap as hell in guild stores and useless as long there won't be gear restyling option.

    They are rising prices over and over. I think in the future all crown store items will be so expensive, that nobody will buy them anymore. I still remember when I started playing this game and crown store items had really nice prices. Now it's just ridiculous.

    Selling the same old and overpriced sh*t all the time. Good job ZOS. :/

    Not only can you have all the motif pages in a couple of trial runs. You can buy the pages for 2-4K/each.

    I'm pretty sure ZOS relies on people who don't know current prices or even how to use guild traders to sell their motifs.

    stop being greedy ZOS!!

    we want to support you - people will willingly give money to a cause they believe is honest and genuine in its intent. look at all the kickstarter campaigns out there! but if you're going to be greedy- we sense that - and close our wallets fast! give us quality - give us value-

    seriously - get some new minds in to rethink your business model and strategy- because whoever is making these calls over there is short sighted and really hurting your business- and in turn- well actually directly- hurting us.

    That depends, if they're making sales regardless of how easy things are to get. Is it really dumb to cash in on peoples ignorance?

    Immoral maybe, but dumb, no.

    They don't release motifs on the Crown Store until they're on farm in game. Every motif, except maybe Ancient Orc, is easy to get in game and/or cheap on guild traders. The high price in crowns is the convenience fee. Don't want to farm? Pay the fee. The Crown Store itself is a convenience market. You guys act like you are being coerced into something. You're not.

    Well isn't it still 3000 crowns for Mercenary motif? The one that cost 200 gold per piece and was already that cheap when they released it?

    All the crown store motifs are to expensive especially without a transmog system.....

    Boy I need you to agree with me sometimes lol!

    I think they would most likely double their profit if they cut that price in half.

    Unfortunately, the marketing people are not gamers, they're accountants and pen-pushers. They're told: "Find ways to make us more money." They probably don't even know much about the game they represent.

    For just less than the cost of two of these Motifs in the Crown Store, you can buy one of the largest homes available using crowns! Using the home analogy again; in gold these homes are around 3.7mil; but buying the individual pages for these in auction houses would be a trivial amount in gold for your average end game player. This is ridiculous; was no thought put into this? I might be sympathetic for the motifs from the Hist Dungeon runs but this one is fairly common these days.

    Even if crafting was cranked up to what you'd want it to be and more, would you actually pay 6k crowns for a motif that you can get very cheaply in-game?

    ZOS your marketing team needs to realign with its customer base. youre pulling a Games Workshop and pricing people out of the game.

    6k crowns for a motif less desirable than the cheaper dromathra motif?

    Who greenlit this? Please, @ZOS_MattFiror get big brother on the same page. I know memorial day is coming up and you have a big trip planned, but a simple email or voicemail to the right people is very little effort on your part.

    thank you.

    You raise another interesting point regarding Crown Store motif purchases; that they are character bound and not account bound.

    Eh, seems like another "big upset over nothing" issue. Motifs are mostly cosmetic (and, due to crafting not giving amazing gear, somewhat useless). So there's little "need" to buy this item. And it's grindable in-game, but slowly. S

    o, "cosmetic item" + "paying for convenience of avoiding grind" = high price.

    And no reason to pay that price in the first place.

    So, no reason the be upset. It's not like you have any reason to buy it. (and, really, would you even have bought it for 3k crowns? No? Then why does it matter if it's 6k, or even 60k?) /shrug

    I am pretty sure they priced this at the upper end of what they think people will pay. Deliberately. The more people complain, the more confirmation they have that it is high enough.

    Buy it... or don't. They are not interested in mass sales.

    First time I seen this motif, I liked it. No way in hell would I have paid $60 for it. Except for axes and a few other things, I just bought the motifs off a trader for less than 60k gold. Total rip off. I think I'd rather have my gold back sit it doesn't move as nice as I thought it would have. I still don't understand why this company keeps charging so much for stuff. Are there really some clowns buying it that don't know how in game gold works? I don't care how easy something is to get in game with these prices, ZOS paints itself exactly for what it is. This type of stuff should be to offer something easy to get in game and for them to make a little cash from. Not support the company with. Just how bankrupt are you, ZOS? Morally.
