Will you buy crown packs for their current sale price?

Most of the crown packs are 20% off with the largest one being 30% off. Is that enough of a sale for you to buy them?

Nope, I won't buy crown packs again until they are at least 40% off (like they used to be)!

    It's nice that there is at least some sort of sale, but to be honest, I feel like ZOS set a standard for their "sales" on crown packs at 40% off and it's a little too late for them to decide that was too good of a sale price. I personally won't buy crown packs until they are at least 40% off again.

    Maybe. I’m low, and was gonna buy clockwork at full price anyway because its awesome. The reduction in the sale price makes me mad, though. The old sale prices are what crowns should be on a daily basis given how exorbiant the pricing is on crown store items in general. I buy to support the game, but.... come on now.

    I'm not upset but I'm also not motivated to "stock up" on crowns on all 3 of my accounts like I used to in the past, because the deal was just too good to pass up.

    Then, having so many crowns to play with, I'd spend more liberally on items.

    I'll end up buying smaller quantities as needed and in my case, spending far less $$ than I would've with the old sale prices.

    Not saying I represent the average person, this is just how it's playing out for me.

    Current price per 100 crowns if you buy the 21k pack is .50 usd. Basically, with this sale and only for the highest pack, it would be worth it to me to purchase this. Essentially they are half what I get them for through eso plus. Am I upset we do not have 75$ 21k packs? No. Am I dissapointed? No. Do I wish they would return? Absolutely.

    Maybe some people buy crowns because they are cheap. I buy because I want some item - and I'd buy it even with full price. So... Sale is a sale!

    Bought two packs of 21k at the sale price.

    I wouldn't hold your breath that they will ever return to 50% off.

    Nah just not enough discount to make it worthwhile, I’d rather have the money where I can use it. And since radiant mounts came out I don’t need them so much any more as I can’t get what I want with them anyway. Zenimax marketing department have saved me a lot of money this last year.

    ...or, specifically, I am highly tempted by the current sale. I'm not certain I will actually purchase, but ... it is a good discount, even if not as high as it sometimes goes.

    I just know if they were at the 40% sale price I would have bought without event thinking about it at least one 21000 crown pack and possibly (because I wouldn't know when the next sale might be), 2 of the 21000 packs. As it stands now... I will hold on to my money and just use what crowns I get from ESO+

    I bought the 21K. Honestly people who are whining about the discount not being as good as before are being ridiculous. It's simple. If the discount is not good enough for you, then don't buy the crowns but also don't complain about it like you're an entitled little twit. Plus it doesn't matter how many times you complain because people will buy the crowns because they are on sale and it doesn't matter that people on the forum don't like it. Most players don't even come to the forums. ZOS will not change their policies. Call them what you will. They are a business.

    I'm not going to buy any, but not entirely because of the price, I'll buy crowns at full price if there's something I really want.

    But I still have several thousand unspent crowns on my account so I don't feel like I need more at the moment, and the sale price isn't good enough to make me think it's worth stocking up now. If I didn't have any crowns already I'd definitely buy some, and if the sale price was better I'd probably buy some, but as it is the combination of the two factors makes me think I'll skip this sale.

    I bought 5500 Crowns + Summerset a day before the sale. So I have learned my lesson and will wait for a good sale.

    People whine... "prices in Crown store are so high"... sale on Crowns appears, "prices during Crown sale are so high".

    Point is... if you do not buy Crowns when they are on sale, then I don't feel you have much of a right to complain about Crown store prices... because IF you bought Crowns on sale, the price you pay for items would be less in the long run. So next time a major item is added to the Crown store, most of you will complain that you aren't going to pay that price, yet if you'd bought discounted Crowns, it would be 30% less.

    Plus, I believe ZOS is trying to coerce people to buy the highest priced pack, thus they give the best discount there. I don't expect this to change... and eventually if people want items and haven't bought discounted Crowns, they'll be forced to buy Crowns at regular prices or go without. I guess it all depends on how much time you spend in the game and whether or not the item(s) will help make that time more enjoyable.

    Wait, they are not holding a gun to anyone's head. They are not saying you can't play our game if you don't buy the 21K pack. They are not coercing anyone into buying the 21K pack. The only reason I did is because I may want Hunters Glade when it comes out. If it meets my needs, dark and eerie and fun for my vamp and werewolves to run around in, I will buy it. If not, I'll have plenty of crowns for when they bring out the Frostcaster motif again.

    Had to buy a 21k pack but hated the 30%, I want 50%. Had it been that I'd bought 3 21k and they would have seen more money from me. I'll keep support the game with uninterrupted subscription.

    I wouldn't hold your breath that they will ever return to 50% off.

    I don't where you two are but, at UK prices that is £154. You're both mad.

    30% off the big pack was within the range of what I was willing to pay, while the 20% earlier this year was not. It's just a data point. If you want to hold out hoping for a 40% off on all packs then feel free, though. Maybe the data will demonstrate that that's the more profitable way to go, maybe it won't.
