    why spend money on a game that doesnt work with terrible support and terrible changes in the works? a sale doesnt warrant giving a bad company money

    Because we want shinies! :p

    why would they only do sales on certain platforms? honestly that seems very consumer unfriendly and anti community

    Can confirm they are currently on sale on Xbox!

    Upto 40% off (depending on crown pack size) for the next 7 days (as of this post).

    That means they could be announcing a sale on PC or PS4 today. They like Tuesdays.
    why spend money on a game that doesnt work with terrible support and terrible changes in the works?

    Since you asked, the game works for me, so I continue with my ESO Plus. I don't need a Crown Sale, though. Plenty of Crowns from ESO Plus.

    I mean, it is not all happy sailing. There are bugs, but I can usually play the game around them, when I see them. They do have quirky customer support, and it is true that ZOS did not even reply to a query I sent them earlier this month. Sucked into the void like it never happened. I don't care for the Update 23 Pay For Convenience changes at all. For me, that sort of stuff will be the death of this game.

    I realize that not everyone has the same experience, but I am guessing I am also not alone.

    As much as I despise the performance of this game and that ZOS basically does nothing to improve it as much I love the new mounts coming in the New Moon Crates next season. So I’d unfortunately need some crowns... I’m just deciding if I take 5500 or 14000 on Xbox. Mhm... or even 21000? I mean you save a lot and when you frequently buy 5500 crown packages... 21000 crowns at the moment cost just 10% more than 11000 crowns would usually cost.

    There goes all my money. The wife leaves for a European vacation in 5 days, so I’ll have a ton of game time soon. This sale is perfect timing for me.

    ^^ This.

    40% at the high end is nothing to sneeze at. Buy a bunch, get a volume discount, budget your use of crowns for a while. It works nicely.

    Also, I don't think the game was dying when the 50% sales happened, but it was still in the early history of One Tamriel and finding its stride. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    yeah, you're right, dying was a strong word, it was just struggling to find its place in the market. I'd say it' s definitely settled now.


    I'm probably going to get a 40% pack and save it up for stuff as the year goes on. I did that last year and it worked pretty well. Just save your crowns now so you don't have to buy any later. IF you still have leftover by next sale maybe grab a nice house!

    The tough part is figuring out how many to get. A nice house or two furnished can wipe out around 20k each. If I decide to copy skill lines for any of my 15 alts (well, the ones that aren’t fully developed already), it might get pricey. I’m trying to make sure I have enough until the next one.

    Well, if there were shinies for sell. But the crown store is crap, offers almost nothing.

    Because MY Game does work and MY Support has been okay and the changes don't really affect MY gameplay that much so I'm okay with spending MY money.

    Hmph.

    Learn business ethics again with your cash shop, Zenimax, and I'll think about it. I'm done with crown packs. Your predatory microtransactions have gotten worse and worse. No. Enough is enough. What you are doing is not okay. You've been my one exception to boycotting such sleazy garbage in the gaming industry due to the fact you actually produce quality content, but enough is enough. What you are doing is NOT okay. I'm keeping my damned money and it's going to video game producers who don't do this sort of stupid %$#^.

    I told my partner that money is tight (since we are planning a trip to Disney World for our 25th) so limit thyself to 1 pack of 21,000 crowns.

    I've bought my share of crown store items over the years so I don't have a lot in the store I want to buy. Once in a blue moon I buy 5500 crowns worth of crates, just for the heck of it.

    I think those crown sales are a little strong, they probably need to be tuned down.

    whereas i think they should return to their former glory, at 50 percent off, or more.

    Sell a kidney and you’ll be fine. Or a small part of your liver. You not only get money you’ll get some days off, too!

    I know people can do whatever they want with their money... But this post demonstrates so well why ZOS doesn't bother with customer support and game performance: people still give them hundeds of dollars to buy reskinned stuff off the crown store just because they are on sale.

    Heh, to be fair I kind of agree with you. And then there's the other part of me that says, "Look, new costumes and that cute doggo!"

    I just splashed out for a six month sub last month for my little Alfiq assistants, and part of me is regretting it for terrible reasons: declining performance and yucky nerfs, and six months of no new shinies because I got my big shinies already. It would be really nice to shut off that "ooo, shiny" part of me. I've started thinking that 5000 crowns on sale is looking pretty ok :D

    (personally, I'm still working off the 3k crown pack I got Black Friday... 2016? Plus the crowns from a couple months of ESO+. As someone else mentioned, budget your purchases. /shrug)
