I don't understand limited time offers.
Are there *really* so many people that can spend hundreds of dollars on impulse buys on digital products that they outweigh all the people whose money ZOS is rejecting because they don't have it together in four days? I don't understand that business practice. I have spoken with a least a dozen people who would buy the big-ticket homes for real cash if they were not limited time sales. I and many of my friends agree that it would be worth it to us to set aside money within our entertainment budget to eventually buy the expensive crowns-only houses. So why the rush? I have trouble believing that there are really so many people with hundreds to toss at digital frippery on a moment's notice, enough to make the ones who would be slower but guaranteed purchases be completely unattractive to ZOS as customers. Do I have a misunderstanding of the game's player base as far as average income? I mean is this actually a rich people's game that I have been taking as mainstream? I'm trying to wrap my head around the reason why ZOS doesn't want my money just because I can't rush into spending it on them.
