Kaalgrontiid statue price

✭✭✭✭✭
I get that it's a very unique item and should be priced higher than other furnishings, but 4000 crowns?!? You could buy an in-game home with that. That's (roughly) $40. You could buy the Greymoor upgrade with that. These prices are getting ridiculous.

✭✭✭Haha! Yep, instant "no thanks" when I saw that price. Almost the same price as a whole new Chapter
Shame, because it looks great. I'm not a fan of particle effects out the wazoo, but they can be disabled on this statue so everyone wins
Would have paid up to 2k Crowns. 20 -

✭I imagine it will be on sale eventually. They will gouge what they can right now, and then they'll add this item as part of a sale to get more people to buy it in the near future.1 -

✭✭✭Statue is cool, but 40 bucks are a bit much. I would have gone up to 25, mayyybe even 30, but 40 for a digital statue I only get to see in my house, unlike a costume? I just can't justify that. Shame.

✭✭Can I justify it to myself on the basis I bought the crowns on sale so it actually equates to 2400 crowns!? 😜GM of the Unholy LegacyPC/EU/EP1 -

This is why I hate crown sales. Don't get me wrong; they're great in general but shouldn't be used as justification for absurdly high crown store prices. All ZoS sees is people willing to pay 4000 crowns for a single housing item.PC/NAMountain God | Leave No Bone Unbroken | Apex Predator | Pure Lunacy | Depths Defier | No Rest for the Wicked | In Defiance of DeathMeet my characters :

Draegon112Soul ShrivenI was excited to see this in the beginning of the month and was ready to buy it... When I saw the price today I decided against it. I will pick this up if the price ever drops or if they have a sale. Still a very cool item.6

✭Whoever in marketing proposed this price for the statue would be acceptable to the ESO customer base has done the financial equivalent of placing their wedding tackle in a Lions mouth then flicking its love spuds with a wet towel!Edited by Thannazzar on January 30, 2020 7:01PM12 -
MeinChurro✭✭✭Bethesda as a whole - all their published products have ridiculous prices. When you try to offer criticism for these prices, you get met with "it's just cosmetic".
It's Warframe logic.Can I justify it to myself on the basis I bought the crowns on sale so it actually equates to 2400 crowns!? 😜

✭✭✭✭✭I'm sorry, but arguing about Clown Store prices is like arguing about different methods of torture. All are disgusting, the fact that some are more so than others doesn't offer much comfort. Hopefully this infuriating trend of nickel-and-diming players - with their sometimes enthusiastic approval - will eventually go away. Right now AAA games have stooped down to the worst tactics of freemium mobile games, and that's where we are.17 -
i was actually kinda happy when i saw it was 4000 crowns, I was fully prepared for it to be 5000 crowns and had a few saved up for just this occasion

✭✭✭✭✭The actual statue is approximately $400. So both it, and its in-game counterpart, are absolutely intended to be premium items. Hence the premium prices.

Getting ridiculous? Manor houses are $100+... The prices for the digital goods in this game have been ridiculous far longer than that Kaalgrontiid statue.9 -

✭✭✭✭I'm sad. Just can't afford it right now. And of course limited, has to be limited so that instead of getting my money for it in a couple of weeks, they can get my money for it never. What a great deal for both of us, great job ZOS.7 -

✭the problem is that as long somebody is purchasing it. they are still winning on this. its cashgrab.
