for me its just pathetic how I want to get all possible achievs but except those from expansion because I dont have it because reasons and then I see Im forced to but this pathetic expanstion to just get other achiev with title from event and then I will be stuck with missing achievs from basic game because it need in hide stupid expansion
I have some bad new OP. There's three pages of achievements you won't be able to get because you won't buy Morrowind. (No one tell him about the IC, Orsinium, DB, TG achievement list either.)

But, I mean, you realize you have to buy the expansion to get -all- the achievements included in that expansion, right?
You need Imperial city for another achievement.
And why not include battlegrounds and IC in an PvP event?
but as for IC it isnt that big problem as battleground because it just need to have eso+ which much cheaper for 1 month, is giving many more additional "rewards" and acsess to all dlc without buying it

ah, so the issue is not that you need to pay, its that you are so cheap that you don't want to pay the asking price of morowind. since you know that one month subscription for TEMPORARY acess to DLC's doesn't seem to bother you as much as $40 for PERMANENT acess to morrowind.

while most of pve players have at all active eso+ because its big facilitation and they dont need to buy those dlc and at all dlc's are very cheap in compare to morrowind like pvp player dont need that much craft bag, eso + because ono pvp its not very needed and also most of pvp players who dont have eso + they simply have just IC dlc because for 1st just next pvp thing which is not much in game and is cheap as just dlc

and btw, since WoW was brought up. people who claim WoW does not do this... you are not actualy playing it, are you? because guess what? every time they release an expansion? they add content from that expansion TO THEIR HOLIDAY ACHIEVEMENT META. they do this ALL THE TIME. hell, when they one time events that are anniversary of some sort? they require expansion and high level character JUST TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF THOSE. like diablo anniversary event that they had few month back? you HAD to have legion becasue the entirety of event was IN legion zones. and that's not once a year event we are talking about, that's once in a games LIFETIME.
yes right, you are missing even your own definition, pay to win means that you win an advantage if you pay. but a title gives you no advantage, it is just a title.

You are correct that WoW does this. EQ2 also. However, none of them require you to win at something. That's where the biggest problem is. Unfortunately, people are going to have to get used to holiday requiring current releases for the game. But however again, these holidays are just being added to the game. And this one singles out the one DLC you can only obtain with a new purchase of some kind. That just strikes me as odd. Where is Orsinium required in a holiday? None. Only the one DLC you must purchase and can't have access to as an ESO+. I know some believe requiring is unfair and unfair describes it perfectly since you don't need to be an ESO+ member even only buy something new. Now do you see why its an issue? Not just the winning part but that its the only one that can't you get as a subscriber or by with crowns? Also this isn't WoW or EQ2 so just because they do it one way doesn't mean ESO has to. Especially with the change in how this one is obtain.

For some reason, you still don't get it. Is Orsinium not an expansion of the game world? Hew's Bane? Gold Coast? I don't recall any achievement requiring you to preform a heist from Thieves Guild successfully. Only this one that requires Morrowind. Now then, what's different about them.
Do they add land mass? Yes. Do they add a new play type? Yes. Are they included with ESO+? No. Which one isn't? Morrowind. How do you obtain it? Real money. Now do you see the connection? I get that you're saying other games require future expansions as they drop which is true. Like I said, I have completed achievements in WoW that require something I do not own. But ESO doesn't require future expansions of the gaming world except for the one you need to shell out additional money for. The only one that is not included with ESO+ or purchasable with crowns. Essentially, to complete that achievement, you have to pass a new paywall.
Its nothing about if another game requires you to own all expansions to complete. Its that ESO only requires you to own the one and only one that isn't available except if you spend additional money. Once all previous DLCs are required in achievements then you can say ESO achievements require all past expansions to complete just like WoW, EQ, etc
I hope that clears it up and why it looks like this so called pay to win an achievement. There is being a for profit company and there's finding any way possible to make a profit from you players. WoW is upfront how it works. So is EQ2. And EQ2 is a completely free to play game but doesn't come close to approaching the lengths ESO will go for a buck. I own a lot of real estate and other assorted things there and have never seen that type of behavior. And its own by an investment firm which would blush at the tactics ESO employs.

It's only €10-15 when the game lowers its price and goes on sale. Surely you can cough it up.
I understand why people are complaining about having to pay for the Warden class or Battlegrounds, but just to complete a few achievements?
Also, the achievement in between: Capture an Imperial District. Doesn't that require the Imperial City DLC, which also costs extra money (either for subscribing, G&G pack, gold edition)? Why aren't you complaining about that one?
