And who the Hell buys the $199 pack when you can get 4 packs of 5500–EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR LESS? It baffles me that this is even an option.
My credit card locks after 2 international orders and it takes 2 days or more to be closed and processed. So, if the crown sale were just for today I would have lost half of the crowns I wanted.0 -

✭Wasn't this bad when the Crown store came out, but since that Bioware employee joined things just went down hill
To think, the first Crown store had three packs costing 700g, each containing 3 different outfits.
The fanciest mount cost 1300 gold
The fanciest pet cost 700g
And Crowns were cheaper back then,
3 years...

✭August, 2017:
$23.99 - 5500 ($4.36/1K)
$59.99 - 14000 ($4.29/1K)
$89.99 - 21000 ($4.29/1K)
December, 2017:
$26.79 - 5500 ($4.87/1K)
$59.99 - 14000 ($4.29/1K)
$75.00 - 21000 ($3.57/1K)
May, 2018:
$31.99 - 5500 ($5.81/1K)
$79.99 - 14000 ($5.71/1K)
$119.99 - 21000 ($5.71/1K)
This is a 33-60% price increase. But are we getting 33-60% more value out of our crowns?
Fun fact: During last year's Valentine's Day, the wedding dress and suit were discounted 50% in the Crown Store. This year, they were discounted less--I can't remember the exact amount, but I think it was somewhere between 30 and 40%. So looking at just that one example, we see less purchasing power of Crowns. And now a higher Crown price.
Not just that, they recently had a sale on crown mount books and those were only 20% off, I remember them being 50% off before that.4 -
firedrgn✭✭✭✭✭I already sub so feel like they are getting to me. And after their big survey they did .. this seems odd.2
-
firedrgn✭✭✭✭✭Lots of stuff i wanted to get. I think the crown store stuff is over priced but doable if i can get crowns on sale.
I dont have to have them so ... game just becomes too exsp3nsive. I would rather just take the boat to the lake.
I feel like they are pushing me out of game. I have desposable income but value just not there for me.8 -
KivakWolf✭✭✭20% is not enough for me to buy considering their past record.
Speaking as a new player, looking at this trend doesn't make me want to START investing in the game. If they're on a downward trajectory, sorry but I'll look for somewhere else to spend my money.6 -
MerlinPendragon✭✭✭✭I am all about the pay to win, but I am disappointed the discount wasn't a little better. I will probably still buy at least three 21k packs because I am running on fumes, but they really should have bumped this to at least 33% off so that it was $50 savings on the big pack.Edited by MerlinPendragon on May 4, 2018 9:53PM_____________________________________

Wrubius_Coronaria✭✭✭✭✭Good, I'll save more money. And thankfully, I've uninstalled this game. I thought I made a mistake right after I uninstalled it, but honestly I'm so glad to see it's not the case when I see their greedy practices.
Not worth my time and my money.8 -
Istoppucks✭✭✭✭Haha the same people spamming this thread complaining about crowns they stated in other threads they would never buy are also spamming the poll thread. Listen guys great a few of you on the forums dont like crowns, the crates, the game , well anything apparently. The good news for everyone else 99% of players never step foot in the forums. ZOS and the 99% dont really care about your non stop complaining.
Some people just cant be happy and need to complain. Lucky for you guys video game forums exist for you.
I had no idea they were on sale. Thanks to all the complainers i now know and just bought some. Thanks for keeping the small portion on non complaining forums users informed.Edited by Istoppucks on May 4, 2018 9:57PM2 -

No the tears in the forums from all the complainers is by far the worst thing on video games today.1 -

Not really, the tears is what save the MMO's, cause the ones that are still in good shape today listen to the player base.8 -

Negative pal the forums in every single MMO are the vocal minority. There is always an uproar but sure every once awhile something is changed because of the tears. 99% of players nevet step foot in forums and all forums today are nothing but doom and gloom tears its rather pathetic.
Trust me the game is doing great thanks ZOS for NOT listenibg to you and the rest who complain non stop.Edited by Istoppucks on May 4, 2018 10:09PM0 -

How do you know they're not tearing in game ? Doesn't matter where it happens if the game doesn't listen to the player base it ends up bad. Look at SWTOR for instance just during the last expansion hit nearly 60% of the game quit being how lazy EA was with all the server merges, they didn't listen and now look what's happenend.
Swtor had about 250 servers 7 years ago, it has now 5 servers total.
Even Lotro has 10 servers and Lotro was out 4 years before Swtor came out.Edited by Cpt_Teemo on May 4, 2018 10:12PM8 -

✭✭Usually the wife and myself easily purchase 200 - 300 dollars in crowns when they are on a 40% sale. But this time they are not getting anything. Good job with the sale ZOS!7 -
Zypheran✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I always only buy crowns when on a 40% discount. I do this because imo the crown store is vastly overpriced. So for me (and I'm sure many others) this constitutes a 33% hike in prices. There is no other product or service for which I would tolerate this kind of price increase. Especially given that game performance appears to be on the decline.
I have been vocally dissatisfied with the value being delivered by these chapters and now this relative price hike.
I'm sorry ZOS but no more money from me until you pull up your socks and start to recognize the need to improve the value you deliver for the prices you looking to charge!

Personally, I prefer to complain all the time about greedy and twisted marketing practices and game mechanics rather than accept everything passively for sake of being polite.
Criticism is what is making us going forward.5 -

Wow had to add cross realm play what is your point? Every mmo ever created as lost players and the negativity those like you bring every day doesnt help getting people to stay. Your negative doom and gloom carries over to ingame and creates a toxic environment for the rest of the players. Players today move from game to game yet all the forums are sad, pathetic doom and gloom parties.0 -

100% now f2p are hit or miss cause you get all the freeloaders who dont have anything invested in the game so dont care. Im not really sure why you guys cry every day in the forums those? Attention and upvotes or some people just cant be happy are a few guesses i have though.1 -

That's well known on the mmo market, players who are complaining are the doom, THE APOCALYPSE of these games. But not at all the companies themselves and their mistakes...

✭✭Lots of the forum heavy hitters in this thread... I wanted to contribute something more original than the need for us all to vote with our wallets... if we don't send a strong message now then zos will offer the same 20% discount for a couple of years until it becomes normal.#1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.4 -
Lykanus✭✭✭I just think thats not worth my money at that price and thats it - i buy only on (at least) halfway fair prices for customers. Here i dont feel that so i'm just not buy until it either gets fair pricing in Crown store (ie much lower prices) or good discounts. No need to buy anything and i dont care or cry - i can easily live without it.2
-
Thunderknuckles✭✭✭✭Yeahhhhh, don't see myself spending $120.00 some odd U.S. to buy 21K crowns. That's truly absurd. I might actually spend 60 if they were half off, but not 120. No way.1 -
