I very much doubt your premise. The game is making money, enough of it that they are still coming up with year-long content releases and performance improvement plans. The fact is, they're cheap. Their goal is to squeeze every last penny out of players for as long as they can, then if it comes to that turn off the lights and move on to a new scheme.

Again, because it still hasn't sunk with some people: this is what you get with microtransactions. Don't want to pay a sub to pay for ongoing maintenance and development of a game you enjoy? Then you will get milked for everything you have, end up paying more, and get a worse game for it. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. "it doesn't have to be bad", "it's just cosmetic" and "at least it's not P2W".

But this is not Free to play game to completely justify micro-transactions, you need to purchase the base game, expansions, DLC's, and on top of that, in order to play properly you need subscription, first and the foremost because of the storage that they gave us.
I will not bash ESO+ subscription because I understand that it is the steady channel of income to support the game operations and development, wow also has it and I was always fine with that, no questions asked what so ever why I need to pay the sub.

What I will bash is the fact that besides we need to purchase the base game, expansions, DLC's and Sub to get a normal and proper storage, all good stuff is in crown store and with ridiculous prices.

At least in wow, you could get all the good stuff by grinding or earning it in raids, achievements or such, there was no need to open a store they have at all. Their idea was to make people play the game and it returned to them in a way of a game that is out there for a 15 years and still kicking.

Yeah, you can buy a pretty ingame pet or real life plush Murloc toy (heck I did buy one for my nephew, super cute) , but that was more or less that, they gave you some value for your sub. Here you get storage and all other cools are in the Store, so swipe you cards you milking cows.
I recently opened a thread about ships as housing idea. Last time they had a ship on sale it went for 15K crowns.
Currently the 14K Crowns in shop is 85 euros, heeeelloooo 85 euros! for in game house. After we both the game, expansions and Subbed you put a house on sale for 85 eur Just lol. I have a collectors edition thank you very much.

I know that OP is making fun out of the situation, but in to stay on topic - Fix the god damn servers/databse whatever, we are already paying for everything. I'm looking in my inbox from time to time to see will I also get a water and heating bill, it would not surprise me.

The suits would love more money, but it wouldn't go towards server improvements.

This right here is the truth of the matter.

If any of you believe otherwise. Then I have a 24 karat gold, 3 mile long bridge to sell you. Only for the low price of $250,000 USDs. But you have to pay me it all in Gift Cards and sign a no refund cause. Then I'll release you the bridge.

Sounds like a deal to you right?
