I hope they add the best gear sets on the Crown store because I can eventually get them through grinding. I worked long hours in real life and its my money so I can do whatever I want with it like paying the game to play for me. I'll continue to throw money at ZO$ for these skill lines because they didn't bother making a gold option or an account-wide features to this. The main reason I continue to throw money at ZO$ is because I hope that one day they'd optimize the game, especially from the bottom of my heart for the servers...

Sorry if I assumed you had empathy underneath the selfishness.

Some people are able to see the larger picture, and are able to see how negatively it effects this entire game community when you throw money at companies that are treating everyone like cows to be milked.

LMAO @ "empathy". No, I don't have a single shred of "empathy" for people who play an expensive game, on expensive computers/consoles, over expensive internet connections.

Game companies ONLY exist to make a profit, not to act as a charity providing gaming entertainment to the less fortunate.

This is horrible for the game and I'll try to explain why it is from my point of view.

First of all ESO is very overwhelming and massive for a newcomer, it's very hard to keep track of all the passives, abilities (class, world, race, guilds) etc. Now, before, you had to slowly grind your way through the skill lines and learn each passive or active ability for each level, it gave you time to get used to them and something to work towards. My point is that if new players buy this, they will probably oversee many skills active or passive that are essential to their gameplay. This will lead to the creation of more noobs that are oblivious to game mechanics, they'll scream for nerfs on forums and could potentially ruin the somewhat existing game balance.

The second thing is of course the Crown Store focus. If enough players buy this, it's just a matter of time before CP or Level boosts are added to the game. This way, ZOS will focus their resources on the Crown Store even more and leave the actual game aside since it's not profitable to improve it because it takes too much effort. Why would you release new skills lines and DLC when you can just stack up on some mounts or even sell the already existing skill lines, skill points, cp, levels, whatever it is. Now this is already a huge problem and the game has suffered enough because of it and I doubt this will improve the overall state of the Crown Store-Actual Game content relation.

Third thing is...you're literally making people pay not to play the game. Why you you ever want to do this? Unless the game itself is flawed and you can't be bothered to fix it in its core, so you just pay people to skip to the end. I don't know but it seems counter productive to me. The sense of reward when reaching max skill level will gradually go away as you add these things, and the sense of reward is the core element of any RPG.

While this might be 'an obvious solution' for an old problem (problem of farming skill lines on new alts) I actually think that whoever has leveled multiple characters actually knows how to level their skill lines pretty efficiently. At least that's the case for me, the only thing I could see that can justify this is the Psijic Skill line, it just gets old REALLY fast.

In the end I'd be fine with this addition if I knew that the profits from it will be going towards the improvement of the actual game and not the Crown Store but I just don't see it happening. ZOS keeps abandoning interesting projects for the sake of Crown Store additions and it just keeps getting worse each season. It just seems like ZOS's goal is to take as much money as possible in the short run, but in my opinion that's the wrong approach. I really hope I'm wrong because I really like the game, I think it has great potential that could be unleashed if only ZOS had their priorities straight.

EDIT: Few typos.
