New motif in crown store is 2200 crowns when last crown motif books were 5000 crowns if im not mistaken.

2200 is a really fair price and i think more and more people will buy it with that price tag on it.

It would be great if they kept this up after all nothing in crown store ( single item ) should ever cost more than a expansion or base game but sadly some do.

Anyway keep it up zos

    Or do they overprice the other motifs at 5000 each so that your perception is that 2200 is a bargain. I think they're getting inside my brain.

    2200 is fair imo thats more than half off compared to frostcaster motif which was 5000 I believe.

    I get 1500 crowns a month do basicly i only has to buy the 750 crown pack which is like 5$

    This is the answer. Crown store exclusive motifs have always been cheaper.

    My reading is that if it's a Crown Store exclusive, so it won't be required for Master Writs, it's the lower price. If it's one you can get the hard way, and use in writs, then the CS price is the "convenience" price, which is higher, and partly there to cap the guild store pricing. Your lower cost option for those is buying individual chapters, just the ones you need. CS exclusives are full-book.

    This is why we'll never see actual price-to-value ratios anytime soon.

    If people think this is a fair price, well, so much for seeing an actual fair price of 1000 Crowns or less.

    1k crown is so cheap for motifs. Not that i would complain but i can see why zos won't release motif with that price.

    Roughly £13 for a motif? I must be older than I thought, because that's simply an insane amount of money. Get back to me when they're £1.99 (300-350 crowns).


    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    I mean.. That's kind if how retail works. Sale price is the actual full price, and the "full price" is just the primer.

    A soldier's sword may be woefully small, until you compare it to a dirk. Relativity is all that matters, and is really the only thing we rely on anymore.

    Yes let's praise them for lowering the price closer to what it should've been in the first place when a large part of their game is completely broken right now.

    2200 is better but it’s NOT the right price.
    500 is the right price as it’s only per character but also ppl would buy multiples

    Honestly, that's more of a reflection on motifs (and recipes) per character system, which, I'm starting to feel, should be reevaluated.

    I am happy with motif pricing. Crown store exlusive motifs always much cheaper (I dont understad the surprise), but I think its fine to pay around 5k for motifs what you can get in game. If it would be too cheap people would just wait until its in the store, instead work for it.

    This is correct. If I had any interest in that motif at all I would've bought it. The 5k price tags are a joke.

    Yes, and I don't mind, only thing I object to is then selling dirt cheap motifs like celestial high, they are cheap as lots are farming Craglorn trials, now this is an downside as new players might jump on it then find they have pretty much been scammed.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    If it would normally be 5k, then 2k is more than a 50% discount. Sounds like a steal to me.
