If buying the costume was the only way to gain access to that particular transmog, yeah.

This is a silly-ass thread.

Yes, if they fit my characters

Yes because I like pretty dresses instead of robes sometimes.

I wish there was an option to make your own costumes. For example craft regular gear at a crafting station and combine it into a costume. Which can then go into your costume spot. So you can have a cool costume and still have the good gear, even if the good gear looks like horse crap

Of course, because I prefer costume over transmog.

I don't buy them now, so no.

Yes, I will still buy costumes because they look unique (I'm talking about "clothes" costumes, not really "armor" costumes). Also I like the cultural side (like the Argonian costumes which are in the store now).

Not every costume is a costume of "armor". Where else are we going to get evening dresses and handsome suits?

I would definitely still buy my clothes and also transform my armor. Rpers would LOVE, to wear their (for example) covenant motif into battle and their wayrest doublet in the city. Costumes can be bound to the Q quick slot menu too for quick changes. Many of the costumes don't make sense to wear into battle if you care about that sort of thing, and the people who care about appearances are the people buying the appearances lol

Most costumes in the crown store are not armor, they are civilian, joke or fancy outfits.

On the other hand most quest reward costumes and the disguise from quests are armor, including releases from Morrowind.

Depends on the costume. I don't buy costumes just for the sake of covering armor, I buy them if I like and want the costume.

My other MMO is Guild Wars 2 which does exactly this. Whenever you equip a piece of gear it's skin is saved in a 'wardrobe' and can then be applied to any matching piece of gear. (Matching meaning you can only put a sword skin on a sword, heavy helm skin on a heavy helm etc.) In addition to that they sell 'outfits' which are identical to costumes, except that everyone can dye them.

I've bought several costumes in that game and honestly the main thing which puts me off buying more is the rediculous system where they all share 1 dye set - if you change one it changes all the others. Trying to find dyes that works across multiple costumes is a pain.

If transmutation was added to ESO I wouldn't regret any of the costumes I've already bought and I'd likely continue to buy more in future.

This is for the simple reason that they give options that armour doesn't. There is no armour that looks like the Evening Dress, Off-the-shoulder dress, Graht-Climber's Active Wear, Pirate costumes and Runmare Waterfront Casual Wear which are my main costumes. And hopefully there won't be because none of them look like even light armour.

I don't buy costumes anyway. I don't want costumes, I want to craft good looking styles.

Yes!

Preferably the ones with hoods so I can cover my not-black hair on my Altmer.

I want masks without hoods so I show off my custom hair but keep the mysterious theme. Like a masquerade mask or even just the kind of bandana type face mask paint ballers use (nose and mouth covered, maybe with a lower jaw design). Would be nice if there was some kind of rebel alliance to join that had highwaymen masks.

Currently I'm using the belly dancer veil so I know they can do it if they wanted to.

if the costume didn't make me look like leisure suit Larry. Need more battle epic costumes, we don't need any more robes.

I understand the poll as asking if Transmog was ingame would it affect my buying habit of Costumes, since concern or arguments have been raised on the forums that fear of losing Costumes sales could be a contributing factor for Zos not looking at adding the long asked for feature.

My answer is yes, I would still buy Costumes in Crown Store regardless of the possibility to Transmog armor to any of all the motifs my character has learned. And no, it would not affect my purchases of Costumes in Crown Store at all, and I've bought a considerable (imo) number of Costumes.

Don't care about cosmetics on my toons.
