Fatal Fredas sale... thanks but no thanks!

Hammy01 · July 2018

Dear ZOS,

Thank you for at least trying but after everything your player base has went through since Summerset was released (freezes / crashes / bugs and down time) the Fatal Fredas just does not seem right. You need to charge at least half of what you are charging now because (in my opinion) the items offered really are not worth the price you are charging. I personally like the black camel and had it been half the price that it is now I might have bought one.

PS. I could have sworn that one of the Fatal Fedas sales in the past had a regular camel with a bundle of other goodies for around 1300 crowns. Had you offered something like that then I might have sent some crowns your way.

I think you may be thinking of the black friday sale (https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-gb/news/post/25865)

Would like the stag, but def agree 4k is rough for a mount

They need to come up with something new. Haven’t bought the stag and pony the last two times, won’t be buying them this time, or ever for that matter.

Also the 24 hour timer does nothing to entice me because even if I was semi-interested in the items (which I am not), I would know they would just bring them back again for the next Fatal Fredas.

I think it’s time to switch up the program. Just my opinion.

Still better than the 25k in game motif for 5k crowns lol, but yeah pretty expensive still I just went with 1200 Raz !

They'll dump it in crown crates for 1/2 price eventually anyway. No point buying the 4k or time-limited mounts if you're not that interested.

Not worth a thread.

This is an internet message board for a video game. None of this stuff is worth a thread in the grand scheme of things. In the context of the game, this is definitely worth a thread.

Ohhh you are right it was the black Friday sale! Well today is Friday so I guess my old brain just had a fart!!

No offense to OP but the sales of those items, large volume or small, is what will speak volumes and will drown out anything posted in the forums.

Exclusive seasonal/holiday items will remain exclusive to those seasons or holidays as that is their intended promotional purpose.

Indeed.
Also, it is important to note that nothing is truly a "limited time" sale.
Almost every crown store item is being recycled in the crown crates, so there is much less exclusivity.
Perfect examples: Elven/Nord/Breton Hero Armor, Dwarven Spider and the list goes on...
So it's best to not be tricked by limited time sales and think this is my ONLY chance, it is most certainly isn't.
I think it is extremely bad practice to recycle items which were categorized as limited time.
It is deceiving the player base and not accurate.

"Crown Crates include new and exclusive items, as well as some items you might have missed in previous limited time offers."
