Literally would make so many lives so much easier. Having to get others to buy certain items via said currency, then trading those items to others for actual gold, has a pretty big inconvenient middle man step we all have to go through. Making these currencies tradable would make many people happy. ZOS it has taken you 40 months to make AP bankable. One would argue that may not be an ideal time frame for doing something the community has begged you for. Can we ask that you look at the results this poll will generate and consider making these currencies tradable? This proposal makes a ton of sense and is 100% logical, so naturally ZOS will probably disregard its existence regardless of the communities feedback. Might as well give it a shot anyways!

    I don't care about master writs either way, but AP and TV stones should never, ever be tradeable. Do I really have to explain why?

    Obviously buying AP will not increase your pvp rank or leaderboard points in any way, would just be giving you the currency. I am not sure what your opinion is? Do you prefer going to vendors and buying items to sell to people rather than the potential option of just trading a currency?

    You want to kill IC even more by making tel var tradeable? Nah ty. AP should definitely stay the way it is now too (can't wait for it to be bankable though).

    IMO it would make IC more popular. Having the ability to trade tel var into straight gold without going through the hassle of buying certain items with tv then selling said items for gold inflicts anger into a fair amount of players.

    I don't think it would. It would be the same farmers every time in there, while the rest just buy the tel var from guild stores without ever having to step foot in there. This also wouldn't make much sense from a DLC standpoint. Not everybody has ESO+ and/or owns IC, which is where tel var comes from.

    There are some things that a player needs to earn themselves, Tel Vars are one of them. You want to make this game into something that you can just buy everything? Why bother playing.

    You can buy tel var indirectly, just making the seller go and purchase the items you are looking for.

    If AP and TV stones became tradeable then you would see even more people going to Cyrodiil simply for the purpose of grinding AP. You know what that means? More people would be exploiting and trying to gain it faster, which would even further harm the PvP experience.

    And even if you take that (and it's reprucussions) out of the mix, it still wouldn't be a great idea. What would the exchange rate from AP to gold be? Would tradeable AP raise or lower the overall player pop in Cyro? What changes might Zeni make to the AP system as a whole if it becomes easier to obtain?

    If AP became tradeable then there are more questions and possible consequences than there would be good things because of it.

    How does making AP tradeable change anything if items that people buy for AP are tradeable anyway? It seems like it would only eliminate the annoying middle step, no?

    Wouldn't it be better if players could buy currency and then choose what items to buy instead of looking for specific items that they might not be able to find at the moment?
