Should Zos lower the price for crowns?

Should Zos lower the prices with 15-30% for crowns? They are very expensive! Pls dont count the " crown on sale" because we know that is the real price for what Zos want!

✭NO , I dont want to save money!It is againt forum rules to give the response I want to...
Why would they lower the cost of crowns themselves? Aside from sales that is nonsense from a business perspective.
Lower item costs maybe, but even then people are buying enough that they justify the high costs2 -

✭✭✭✭✭A single crown is less than 1 cent USD. That's pretty damn cheap.

✭✭✭✭✭I do think a lot of crown store items are expensive for what they are, to the point where there's many I've considered buying and then decided they're not worth the money to me.
But looking at my billing history it's been a couple of years since I paid full price for a crown pack (I stock up during a sale so I have them when I want them), so I guess for me they basically have reduced the price.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

jaschacasadiob16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭The real questions are...
- is anyone forcing you to buy the service?
- Is this service a basic need? It is not, and you should be able to live (and play ESO) without it.

TaintedKurse✭✭✭Yes PLSSS !I think the crowns themselves are priced fine.
Its the price of items in the crown store that needs to change.

Game Theory tells us this is a win win: the customer gets the items he wants at a price he considers reasonable and is (chemically prized by his brain) satisfied; the Company profits (it's not an ONG) and keeps the show running.They offer Crowns sales but items cost twice their original price (Remember those days when they sold 3 costumes pack at 700 crowns?) ... so... Who is winning here?
By the way, there are still packages of three costumes."Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."

peda✭✭✭Yes PLSSS !They should for sure.
I'd actually buy them. I'd buy WAY more during the sales, and I would actually buy some when not during crown sales. I'm sure they'd see a huge boost in number of purchases from most of the playerbase if the price dropped, even a little.AD Nightblade - EP Sorcerer - DC Warden4 -

✭✭✭Yes PLSSS !If they had their "on sale" price always, i would buy lots more. 20 euros for 5500 crowns seems a good price to me.3 -
Hallothiel✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Yes PLSSS !Thing is, it's not <really> like a physical business with raw materials etc counting against profit. This is digital currency that pays for pixels. Once the initial programming is done (cost there of the designer/programmer acknowledged), anything is pure profit.
So the only thing preventing them actually lowering prices, either of crowns or in the store, is what they think people are willing to pay.
They don't seem to care about people playing with the economy in game so....2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, ok, let's lower the price of crowns by half. And then they'll increase the crown cost of each item by two-fold. It's a virtual currency whose purchasing power is entirely at their discretion.
Maybe you should ask ZOS about the steady inflation of crown cost? Once upon a time, they released exotic mounts for what at the time was an unprecedented price of 2.5K crowns. Now that seems like the baseline price for mounts and many will go for 4-5K.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

Ah.... I remember when mounts were cheap, pets were something like 700 crowns, and rare motifs didn't cost the price of a new video game.2 -

✭NO , I dont want to save money!"no, I don't want to save money" lmao
What kind of biased poll is this.
No I don't think they should lower the prices. Annnnnnd, I do fine to save money by having Eso plus and simply not buying crowns all the time. If anything, I think they should increase the price just so people who like to complain have something else to complain about.PC NA - GreggsSausageRollXbox NA - Olykos66PS NA - Olykos2663 -

✭✭✭✭✭NO , I dont want to save money!Not buying crowns nor crown store items is a far more efficient way to save money than buying whatever discounted or cheaper crowns.
ZOS do what they want, people do what they want.
Just remember : buying & complaining doesn't work.
Not buying works.
