2900 Crowns for all PvP Skyshards

The total cost of getting all 3 Cyrodiil faction skyshards as well as the Imperial City skyshards comes out to 2900 crowns, a decent price for what could have been much worse. You get 59 skyshards (nearly 20 skill points) on a new character without needing to deal with riding around Cyrodiil and Imperial City. Wanted to pass this info along to any players who may have been wanting these packs. For me, it's a boon not having to deal with whether an enemy gate is open or not (and I don't get killed getting to the shard).

EDIT: For those against the skyshards being the crown store, I have this to ask you: The skyshards only confer ~20 skill points to use. Beside crafting passives, what could a person possibly "win at" when they're at level 3 with hardly any skill lines leveled up to be able to even USE their passives?

    Hmm this poses an interesting question, do people who pay for shards get achievements? I worked my ass off getting the Tamriel Skyshard Hunter achievement and it’s kind of lame if people can just buy it now.

    It's not p2w. You earned the skyshards in the first place to even use this feature in the crown store. Secondly, the skyshards only confer 19-2/3 skill points to use. Beside crafting passives, what could you possibly "win at"?

    Shouldn't have needed to buy it in the first place, once you earn it should have been account wide unlocks just like consumeables tbh

    It should not be available at all but if so then it should cost 10X that.

    Wouldn't you have to already have earned this achievement to buy it? Would it really affect me if someone could buy this achievement? Not really unless you're one of those I had to walk 10 miles to school in the snow with no shoes so you do too type people. So yes, I guess will affect some.

    This could have been a potential hot seller if they released this back during the anniversary week when PvEers were getting griefed in Cyrodiil.

    There will Always be those people who have to complain about how hard they had it and if someone else has an easier time it invalidates their hard work stories.

    It's Story Telling Time about how in 1922 Elder Scrolls Online was so stupid hard, but now, in the year 2019 it's so much easier. You young folks have no idea what hard was like back then.
    I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

    You can only buy shards that you have collected on at least one toon.

    You have to have gotten all the skyshards on at least 1 character before you can buy them from the crown store. So it might allow people to copy the achievement across to another character, but it won't give it to anyone who hasn't gotten it before.
