Oh and there´s another thing i just want to add.
I want the paywall back - subscription only, that would keep all the ones out of the game that have to come up with bizarre ideas to " improve" the game just for their personal benefits.

Again most people either don't know what p2w really means or are ignoring it to support their own agendas/arugments.
Really who cares if someone is able to buy a level 50 character. You can already pay other players for power levelling. Its really no different.
Would you now like paying for power levelling to be bannable because it cheapens your effort? You should be happy you did it the real way. I bet your characters will have more skill points/mage guild levels too.
Not sure why mmo players in particular feel like they have to better than someone else but i guess that's just human nature.
If you want that you have real life where it would actually matter unlike a game lol.
I don't personally give a ***. But lots of people do care and I was just explaining why. You not understanding why people think and feel that way is a misgiving on your part though, not on theirs.
It's a general feeling towards any kind of power levelling, and people have been against it since it was first introduced. And although it's become more common to differing degrees in differing games, there are still a lot of people against using real time money to obtain significant content that they feel should be restricted and unlocked only by time and effort.
Many people apply the same philosophies in games and on the internet as they do in person and in real life, others see them as two completely different environments and situations.
Right. You can just buy a max level character and play eeny, meeny, miny, moe blindfolded. Let's see how far that will get you.the game has a hotbar with 22 skills, and you can easily get away with using half. it's not rocket science especially if you've played other mmos or es games. Additionally you can you know perhaps read whe skills description? lol.
In every other game that has the ability to buy max level characters they dealt with it or moved on. The games are still running and doing just as well as they were before the ability to do so was introduced.
Buying this from crown store would ONLY save time for the customer. He wont have any advantage over someone who did it the "normal way"
you can stupidly grind with 40 others in Alik´r dolmens 24/7

The games that introduced similar things had a change in the type of player as a result, overall population levels may not have changed, but who was playing did because it is things like that that drives away players and increases negative press about the game.
It wouldn't be the death of the game, but it would cause a lot of currently active people to stop playing and look elsewhere.
There's a market for heavy proper 'pay to win' games as seen by a lot of the eastern style MMOs over the years, but it's a different market. ESO already has seen changes in types of players as a result of microtransactions and loot crates, they just need to decide what place they want in the market - are they offering the same lowest common denominator things that get the casuals in and maximise profits at any cost, or do they want to be a bit more of a differentiator on the market, a very similar discussion and decision to when they changed from a sub model to free to play.
all those people that play once or twice a week for a couple of hours….they would not be here and make such demands for high end chars or shared skillpoints or whatnot if the paywall ( subscription model only) was still there. cuz for their amount of playtime it would be not viable to pay for 6h playtime a week. Unless they dont have to care about that amount of money spent.
And furthermore, those " casuals" wont be much welcome in a guild that has a certain aim on progress, and ofc those players lack naturally the experience, the " flow" a regular player has obtained, be it group dungeons, trials, PvP...
Don´t get me wrong here, im not against "casuals" , but to serve their wants all on the so called silver plate and feed them things others have spent hours and hours and hours of playtime by just ONE click in the crownstore….??!! That´s a NO- GO.
And then again- this is not WoW and not even WoW 2.0. You can buy XP scrolls from the crownstore, you can buy XP pots from the ingame traders….you can stupidly grind with 40 others in Alik´r dolmens 24/7 ….
edit.
and im well aware ( sadly ) that the business machine needs to be feeded, and the sub- only wont come back

Granted I'm cherry picking here, but it sums up your and others arguments against this.
Those who do dolmen/skyreach/trash mob grinding are no more likely to know their character than someone who could/would buy a leveled toon from the crown store. In fact, a requirement for a purchase like this could be actually having at least one (maybe two) level 50's and at least 300CP. That's just an idea though. Change isn't bad, and this wouldn't hurt the game. We already have 750's that have no idea what they are doing in dungeons, and they did their grinding like you suggest.
My personal opinion: I've been playing for nearly a full year. Now at CP460. I'd love to level a sorc but I've already leveled a healer, tank, two DK's, and a night blade. I'm so burnt out on leveling it isn't even fun. I can't even make it fun.
The quests are time consuming and are such a face roll you could get by them with two skills and light attacks. They reward nothing. I'm so over hearing Lyris and Tharn babbling and that stupid blind guy who started the whole thing. Molag Bol isn't even hard.
...ZOS could also put a class change token in the crown store.

With all the experience scrolls from daily rewards (awarded from free crates and just getting them themselves for a reward) on top of very cheap experience potions, how is it a chore to get to 50 these days?

Two similar people who don't have the time or desire available to invest in a 100 hour grind.
One of them buys an advantage and now has an advantage over that other person, who now has to invest 100 hours or the same amount of money to be level.
Many people consider that buying an advantage, many people don't.
Oh and there´s another thing i just want to add.
I want the paywall back - subscription only, that would keep all the ones out of the game that have to come up with bizarre ideas to " improve" the game just for their personal benefits.

Respec your skill points, get the class change token, and wham-o!
You keep your skill points, lore books, and what not and you can try out a different class.

I actually wouldn't mind if they went back to that. They never will though.Oh and there´s another thing i just want to add.
