Skyshards: Are you buying skill points or skill points and achievement?

✭✭✭✭✭nope. not buying them. i AM using them as a guide of what I'm missing on alts, since they are all unlocked for purchase via my main so whenever I see something that is not grayed out on alt, I know at a glance that I can go there and finish it up, which is especially relevant when I realized just how many super easy starting zone skyshards i'm missing inexplicably on some of them
The zone guide has skyshards as well.
true but I have to be IN that zone to see the guide for it. skyshards are all on the same screen, regardless of where I am. i also know that there are various skillpoint addons, its just.. nice, big visual representation of the skyshard sale screen - I found to be easiest for me to use as a reference point at a glance
dirty worthless casual.

IVE BEEN AGAINST A LOT THE MARKETING TEAM/CROWN STORE TEAM HAS DONE. BUT NOTHING MORE THAN THIS.
YOU ARE ACCOMMODATING THE WRONG PEOPLE IN THIS GAME.
DONT BUY THEM.

✭Its pay-2-win.
Period.
I don't want to hear any more arguments about "convenience" ... if you have money - you can unlock immediately every skyshard in the game for your character, new or old. You immediately by doing that surpass veteran players who have been unlocking them for years all because you have the financial means to do so.
That is the definition of p2win.
Yeah but some people work hard and have money and others get to stay home smoke weed all day at moms house and collect sky shards.1 -

True. I end up going to different zones when I collect surveys, so its easy to see the zone guide when I arrive. Your way works just as well.0 -

ah, I see
I only collect surveys on my crafter, who also happens to be the character I do most achievements on (including skyshards), so its for most surveys she is pretty much done with zone achievements. alts are bit... different 
and honestly, its just me finding unexpected silver lining in this whole system. i still think that we should have been able to buy skyshards for alts via in game gold, but.. ah well. only one that really needs all of them is a crafter, everyone else can do just fine without getting every possible skill point.dirty worthless casual.

✭I would buy if it was account wide, but character-only? No, that's too much. Just hunt them as usual0 -

I'd actually pay for each of my alts to never have to go anywhere near Cyrodiil except that I don't have the last two in each enemy zone, so ZOS have saved me some money.
Damn, I didn't think of that. Thanks mate, I know where to spend my crowns ! Never having to set foot in Cyrodiil ever again is totally worth spending some bucks.Shadowshire wrote:The real-money cost of the Crowns is, by all account, $29.00 per purchase, i.e., per character. That is not particularly affordable for many TESO players. Which is also true for many of the Homesteads, aside from whether they are bought furnished.
Okay, so who cares? Which Achievement will be for sale in the Crown Store next? Which one -- if any -- will matter to you? *RodneyRegis wrote: »Who cares? It's one achievement.

Chadak✭✭✭✭✭I ran around collecting mats and skyshards on all my alts until I had at least as many skill points as I required for my build, and then I relaxed and went completing zones at my leisure on them.
I see no reason to modify my behavior. I enjoy my little blits and blots of skyshard/crafting mat hoarding.0 -
