It makes it really hard to keep playing. I cannot stand their business practices.
Do you need any of these limited edition items? No.
So what's the problem then?
Clearly they are making money from this business practice or they wouldn't be doing it. Be happy that it supports the game.
Or... the end of the quarter is coming up, they are a bit short on revenue goals and the c-levels will do anything to boost the numbers.
Short-termism even happens in private companies.1 -

Just another way in which Capitalism squanders the potential of this game.
Not capitolism there..because supply and demand says you make more supplying the demand..if you artificially scarcity it..you may make quick sales but you are not supplying it to everyone who wants it.
In a digital world where scarcity is fake..this is the opposite of capitolism.
lmao there is no supply and demand this is digital item that you can put it in game forever without need for limited time , its not physical item that people demand it and you have to craft it in real life to fulfill people demand0 -

Alleon✭✭✭The thing that makes me feel bad about the crown store is it feels so out of stock! There is literally nothing worth the crowns except maybe a few things. The deal is I get my 5k crowns, and I look for something to buy, maybe a cool costume or an amazing mount but there is nothing there! Where is all the stuff? I cannot even buy a proper dye for my costume. So this policy of putting everything on "limited time offer" is utter BS.
Where are the boxes collection?
Where are cool costumes??
Where are cool pets and mounts???
Where is the incentive to buy the crowns????0 -

eklhaftb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭A lot of threads being necro’d today.....
If the topic is still relevant, it's not necro, it's just return to an unresolved topic.

Exactly. That's the worst thing: there's barely anything new in the store, some of those items have been there for years.
Like the kiss-me-not hat. What's up with that thing? Did they swear to keep it in stock until someone finally buys it, or what?

How the hell is a mount P2W? Please enlighten me, I’m curious. Because last time I checked, it does nothing to help me win except get slowed down and knocked off when a group of enemies are nearby.Juju_beans wrote: »That supports the game so you don't have to pay a subscription.
The company has to generate revenue here folks.
None of the stuff is P2W so what's the worry ?
Actually it is P2w, why does everyone consider P2w being only stattable gear in game, it consists of everything you can get faster than anyone else and if they cannot be able to obtain it game as compared to real $ currency transactions.

You gotta be kidding me.
ZOS before release "It's a b2p game because we don't want to have any content locked behind paywall" - releases the game with imperial edition, which you need to buy to unlock imperial race. Morrowind price on consoles (expansion...) $50!!!!!! If that's not enough, it's the only expansion on the market that doesn't allow game sharing (together with the whole crown store crap). ZOS actually spent manpower to develop a bypass code system for consoles just to not allow sharing like other games do. The game is still way overpriced on consoles (to get all the content you need to spend probably around $200 and then get sub). Don't you ever say again ZOS is better than others. I've played guild wars 2 when it got released and it had no paywalls and all the other junk that force people to get the sub and spend crap tons of money on crowns.
I mean, you have to admit ZoS is kinda better- it’s not like EA Star-wars: Battlefront 2 or other habits0 -
