    Who would vote no in this poll?

    People who don't buy any crowns?

    (remember, the question is "Would you have liked a crown sale this year", not "would you have liked a crown sale for other people this year"... I'm not looking to buy any crowns, so I have no personal need or desire for a sale on them. /shrug)

    But you do buy crowns of your an eso Plus subscriber /shrug

    So it applies, no reason to pay full price if you can get a discount. I’d imagine as a subscriber you don’t buy only one month at a time unless you’re on Xbox one

    Wait a couple of weeks for the dust to settle after the new crown crates are released.... once the initial rush to buy has happened up will pop a crown store sale to push crown crate activity again.

    I bought some during the last sale, and while I was hoping there would be another one now, I'm not that surprised. I imagine there's a pretty big spike in revenue during those sales, followed by a steep drop, so I figure that: A ) as other people have said, ZOS doesn't want the crown sales to be too predictable (apart from knowing there will be at least one per year), because that becomes an incentive for people to hold off buying them at full price, and/or B ) they know full well that people are going to be upset and disappointed, but they also believe they'll be adding some irresistible/time exclusive items into the store, and so they're testing if/how much that disappointment affects Nov/Dec revenue.

    I expect it won't hurt one bit, as many people will rush to buy full price crowns if the store offers the kind of items people are impatient to get, like those that were recently data-mined. Either way, I've no doubt that ZOS invests a lot of time and money into consumer behaviour research and tracking, so I'd bet they're going to make more money with this strategy than with last years Black Friday crown sale.

    They devalued their currency the first time they put it on sale. They really can't stop people from some people only seeing it "worth it" at 40% off. And they'll have to live with that.

    I'd rather them just periodically do ESO+ promotions where you get 50% more crowns with new sub or extension to current sub. That's a bonus, not a devaluation. And it helps maintain game traffic, which is probably the only metric now that truly matters.

    I just picked up ESO on Xbox with an Xbox One X so have no Crowns over there and would of purchased a bunch during this years Black Friday sale but since they're not having one I refuse to pay the overpriced normal amount when they're 40% off during the sales.

    There really should have been a sale. I have no intentions of buying that new pack.

    I mean, the food, soul gems, and potions are pretty pointless, and the bear is generic and many people just got a free nix ox anyway. Doesn't really seem all that worth it.

    I guess you could look at it as buying the mount speed and capacity books for 100 crowns off, and getting other stuff with it, but I don't know...

    very disappointed. on a plus side, so far there's nothing I actualy want FROM crown store, so my subscription leftover 2k crowns might tide me over for a bit. still... would have been nice.... hopefully they will have one for Christmas maybe?

    Was about to buy 2 or 3 of the 21000 packs if it was on sale. Not spending a dime now though.

    Yes, for a few for things that are going off sale soon.
    Not interested in the upcoming items, so now won't be buying any at all for a while.
    Can't complain though, as Morrowind was at least decently discounted.

    As I recall, they've had quite a few this year already. While I enjoy when they are on sale, I wouldn't expect another one this soon already. It wasn't that long ago they had one.

    No crown sale ='s money going elsewhere.

    Do you want money, Zos?

    Apparently ZOS is adverse to money. I had planned to drop around $100 on crowns if there was a sale. Oh well, I guess thats an extra hundred dollars I can add to my Christmas shopping budget instead.

    No - I've still got the ones I bought from the last sale, so I certainly don't need an excuse to buy more things I don't need!

    I was kind of counting on it. I'm baffled that they aren't doing that. I mean we have several gift-giving holidays and a lot of escalated travel and expenses coming up in the next month. People's budgets are pretty much already spoken for, unless they see a tempting sale. So why decide against that sort of sale?
