• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Why don't all motifs go to Crown Shop, just *most*?

There's a missing motif in the shop...and I'm not talking about the most recent ones, but one introduced loooong ago...


...all the other motifs released in that update have hit the shop, but one remains conspicuously absent...for over a year now...

...why?

    Irrelevant really. If ONE motif hits the crown shop..all should.

    Or conversely, none should.

    People that PvE have as much access to PvP to farm for AP to get motifs as well so what was your point? You don't want to PvP, you don't want to let players who PvP have an income stream or you haven't PvP'd so you don't know that doing an hour of PvE will make you more gold than doing an hour of PvP?

    You asked for the reason that is the reason that the devs gave a long time ago.

    One in the shop, all in the shop

    ZOS never stated is was this way that I have been able to find, if this is the way show us in writing. If not stop wasting everyone's time .....

    This is a new thread on his continuation of whining from another thread because it was no longer updating in the section when posted to and now it is locked ..... All he did was replace the word "AKAVIRI" with "ONE" .....

    Why do the people on the forums need to go into this conversation again when it has already been discussed in depth? ZOS never made a comment for a reason and it was their choice. There are so many threads ZOS does not answer too, hwy are you continually demanding a response in yours? By now you could of put the effort into the game and achieved this motif, saving the forums this headache again ......

    What makes that an inadequate reason?

    Just the fact that you don't agree with it?

    No hun, it is inadequate because it doesn't align logically with every single OTHER motif going into the shop.

    One in, all in...or none in altogether.

    With the MidYear Mayhem event, less excuses than ever to keep some (read as PVP) motifs from the crown store...

    Well, there is the practical consideration that the Akaviri armor doesn't really look that great, in comparison to more recent additions. Like the original Ashlander motif, and Draugr, it's been in the game since launch, and sticking it front and center, asking people to pay for it, isn't going to end well. Mostly because it is, visually, on par with the base 14 motifs.

    Yet...those others got that Crown Store treatment, one and all...

    ...so yah, I'm afraid that can't really be a consideration.

    That's, not, actually true though. If it is the consideration, then it applies exclusively to the Akaviri motif, and not the other contemporary ones. It may also be why we've never gotten Worm Cult or Lich as craftible motifs.

    The truth is, we don't know. And ZOS is never going to step forward and say, yeah, that motif sucks. So, it sits hidden behind the PVP grind, where most people will never see it.

    Because every other craftable style did. It's only obvious...sorry you're unable to muster the cognitive aptitude to see it..

    Yes, actually it is true. Every other craftable style has been placed into the crown shop after a few months ingame. Every. Single. One.

    Save the one pvp gained style...why should it remain the snowflake?

    I say it should not. It needs to be treated equally with all the other craftable styles, and placed into the crown shop after far too long being overlooked.

    Very false. Many have been put in, but not all.
    But REALLY, that is besides the point. Some go for cash,some dont. Just because one goes in doesnt mean they all should. Should there be nothing you have to earn?

    Really? Name the ones that have not been placed into the crown shop, besides the newest ones that simply haven't been put there yet.

Who knows really. Im just on break before I go back to busting my ass for work lol. Im not the one bothered that Iwant by everything for cash and have to earn stuff

    See, the ones that got removed had still been PUT THERE. Akaviri hasn't, EVER, unlike EVERY OTHER MOTIF.
