Do you think there should have been a Crown Sale for Black Friday?

Black Friday is officially HERE! The time has come to be able to get what I want because all crown packs are going to be on sale!

Actually, the crowbar snaps in two.

...seriously. I'm not rich. I was hoping for a crown sale to happen. But instead, we get a "special" bundle that is worth 8,100 crowns, apparently...honestly? I'd rather have the 8,100 crowns.

Who else is disappointed? Feel free to voice your frustrations below.

Not really. I mean, it's Black Friday, but I had a feeling a sale wasn't gonna happen for some reason.

Honestly? I couldn't care less. I'm fine paying full price for crowns anyway.

Honestly? I couldn't care less. I had no desire to buy crowns for ANY price anyway.

    I will buy them once they are on sale, but I refuse to fall for their trick.

    Wow, as someone with a minor in economics I find the behavior that customers want lower prices to fly into the face of everything I ever learned. Ha. Sarc. I mean, duh.

    If I recall, there’s usually a crown sale closer to Christmas. Last year I bought a pack...I can’t remember, but it seemed well into December.

    Also, can I just laugh at the audacity of ZOS in offering “8000 crowns worth of stuff for 2000 crowns” as their Black Friday sale then putting nothing in there but one mount and the UTTER GARBAGE YOU CAN GET IN GAME FOR FREE. Ha. Such shysters. They could have, like, offered a pack of five discontinued pets and five discontinued costumes and a mount...something like that. It’s funny that they think we value the tri stat crown potions that clog our inventory.

    Who in the world is going to buy that 1,900 crown rip-off?

    Whoever runs ZOS’ crown store must think of customers as children.

    Very disappointed! I pay for ESO+ so when I buy additional Crowns it's only when they are on sale. I guess ZOS doesn't want any extra money from me this time so I guess now I have some extra cash to go buy a new game instead.

    You guys do realize that they are limited the amount of sales they can have over a period of time right?

    With the recent loading screen bug, and everything else, along with a large number of people who recently just canceled their eso subscription, it would not have been wise for them to have a crown sale, in the month people are less likely to buy them due to bugs.

    They'll most likely let things cool down after the loading screen fix, and roll out a crown sale in December instead when MORE people are likely to buy them.

    I do, however, people expect a crown sale of the slightest thing these days.

    Black Friday "wheres crown sale?" Christmas "wheres crown sale?" Mothers day "wheres crown sale?" lol

    Crown sales are never announced nor are they predicted. Otherwise people wouldn't be asking every month if there's gonna be a sale.

    Just wait and be patient. It'll happen when it happens.

    EDIT - I'll more than likely still be buying some crowns because I'd like a new house. With or without a crown sale.

    and this is why crowns are so expensive/no sale. People buy them anyway.

    yeah im not made of money, i have to wait for a sale to drop before i spend 270$ on over priced mundus stones for a guild hall...
    theirs no way in hell im buying it when its not on a sale.
    That said i wanted them to have one for black friday/cyber monday, but i had a feeling that they wouldn't.

    Quality of life changes that desperately need to happen in order make ESO Better for everyone!
    Forget new content for awhile & forget adding new DLC, this is a list of what is actually needed in the game.
    1: Change the ESO+ Housing item limit from 2x to 3x. (preferably 4x)
    2: Add a working Exit wayshrine item for housing.
    (Needs to be added as a special achievement item for finding all wayshrines in the game, & should use the same slots & operate the exit shrines in cyro, where you cant port to them but you can use them to leave the house and go anywhere u want)
    3: Add a GUILD Banker & Store NPC for housing.
    (willing to pay 5k crowns if it does both Or 2.5k crowns each if they split them and have 2 Npcs(1 for each banker/store))
    4: Add Writ boards and Writ Drop-off's for housing.
    (willing to pay 2.5k crowns for each board+1k crowns per Drop off box=11k total crowns
    5: Cut the crown price of Mundus stones IN HALF, and refund the difference in crowns to the few people who have already bought them.
    (If Zo$ was my dog, ied roll up a news paper and smack you in the nose repeatedly for this. 4k per stone x13 stones? what were you thinking?!!
    6: Multi Attuneable crafting stations. (this one change will solve so many issues with item limits. Make it so you have to 'feed' existing attuned tables to the new station to unlock its drop down effects. This kills 2 birds with 1 stone.)
    7: Change the amount of transmutation gems needed to change a trait from 50 to 10, Increase the drop rates of all Geode sources by 10x.
    8: Release more crafting recipes in the game for housing, Dark elf bed of coals/Outdoor and indoor fires/Orcish Column Brazier/Imperial Forge/Beehives/Grape vinyards/smaller greenhouse than the one currently ingame (half the size), We know they are already in the game. These were on the original housing PTS then like 60% of the good stuff disappeared when housing hit the live server.
    9: ESO+ life time membership option.
    10: Permanent craft bag unlock for crowns.
    11: REMOVE BIND ON PICKUP FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT QUEST ITEMS! PLZ ABOLISH THIS TRASH RESTRICTION!!! Change all current non quest BOP items to BOE. PvPers don't like being forced to run pve for gear, and pve-ers don't like being forced to run pvp for their gear either. The solution is so simple let people run the content they like and trade their drops on the open market..
    12: Add New Fishing rods that you can unlock with bonuses for catching rate fish. spending 6 hours trying to get ONE blue fish using all of the buffs currently available is cancer, especially when you have to do this for 12 fish per zone times 40+ zones. In-fact just overhaul fishing totally and make it like Farcry 5 where you KNOW exactly which holes and locations the each of the rares will spawn. Make the T2 bait ACTUALLY & NOTICEABLY WORK, and combine it with better rods & better fishing related food buff so we can just reel in the rare fish like crazy. Even with all that its still gonna take a week or more of grinding to get all the fish, but thats better than a LITERAL FREAKING YEAR of fishing just for a housing boat item that doesn't even do anything...
    13: Playable Games inside houses (basically just make all the decorative game furnishings actually intractable so we can play against other players. This would give a nice bump to housing utility and community building, RPers would also probably appreciate this).
    14: A 'Port to Guild House' Option on the main guild page.
    15: Add Functional Things to housing/guild halls that your guild can contribute to unlock as a group effort. An example of stuff would be like a 5% damage buff during overland content for all guild members, or buffs for dungeons/trails. Another example would be unlock tokens for people with super hard to get achievements like someone with the grand master fisher, they could donate a token to the guild that unlocks usable fishing plots inside the guild that the GM/House owner could place down. This would then let people travel to the guild hall and collect a Daily account Limit from housing harvesting nodes. Nothing crazy that would break the economy, just like 30 or so resources from each daily harvest able nodes for each of the skills. It would be even better if they were special enhanced versions of the normal ore/wood etc. that gave a refining bonus for tempers like double the chance to get tempers. (double the chance to get tempers on such a small amount of resources wouldn't actually make a big impact on economy, but the COOL factor would be off the charts so i see no reason why this couldn't be done).
    16: Solo Dungeons, Much like solo trials this would be a 1 person equivalent of a 4 person dungeon. It would be even cooler if you could have your new companion NPC come with you on these, but we will have to see how good that companion system is first.
