Just a suggestion for the ZOS crew.
Please add some new small and medium homes that can be purchased with gold.
@ZOS_GinaBruno
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
Plus, you still have those giant dream homes that are Crowns only to sell.
Thank you for reading =^^=

✭✭✭After an exclusive period of a house being Crowns only, I think they can release it to be Giftable. ZOS setting the gold amount will probably just underprice it.
It would be similar to changing an expansion to DLC status after 1 year, releasing the paywall exclusivity of the latest expansion (plus all the events linked to it in the meantime) to all ESO+ subscribers.
If they are willing to do that for expansions to coax sales in a secondary way, I don't see why houses can't get the same treatment -- unless the buying behavior is radically different and they can indeed keep milking the housing community at around 16000 Crowns for each big house -- in which case the house-buying community needs to vote with their dollars and signal to ZOS a change in buying pattern.

They should be giftable right away like any other crown store item imo.
ZOS is making money and family and friends can give each other something special. Crown Crate items too.
Thnx for the in-depth reply @Dusk_Coven

Didn't they remove houses from being giftable because it was so deeply bugged, kinda like with the dlc bundles, and they just didn't know how to fix it?1 -

That’s fine by me
ZOS usually removes certain crown store items when making room for new ones. Though I am all for adding new homes and keeping all the houses there, as well.
Appreciate the feedback @Hapexamendios =^^=Edited by xXMeowMeowXx on May 14, 2020 9:58AM0 -
D3N7157✭✭✭✭Housing is a way to show off irl wealth in the game world I don’t want people who can’t afford to be able to buy the new limited houses for gold this would decrease the demand for people to buy crown and reduce zos income. This isn’t going to happen.0

You didn’t read the OP and there are already houses available for gold....
So it already did happen. So your comment makes no sense.
Housing has a variety of homes for sale at different prices. Many not extravagant in anyway.
I make plenty of gold from PvP rewards. An I am certain good traders make a great deal more.
In-game gold has nothing to do with irl wealth. Housing is just another part of the game.
ZOS though, should have a stricter policy towards stalkers....Edited by xXMeowMeowXx on May 14, 2020 10:15AM3 -

✭✭Given all of the locations that have chained up doors, ZOS could probably make small/medium sized homes available in most large settlements.
If they wanted to.
Personally I would love this, as there are certain places (hello Balmora or in-town Sadrith Mora or.. etc.) that I would love to have a house in... not for showing off, but just because I happen to like that settlement.Edited by Iluvrien on May 14, 2020 10:20AM13 -

Your idea directly hits the zos monetization options within the game, better ask for purchasable stable and rededication shrine for crowns that we can put in our homes. Now that’s something I’d spend my money on.

This makes no sense at all. When you buy an item from the Crown store for in game gold those crowns doesn't magically appear out of nowhere, another player have bought those crowns for real life money and then agree to exchange them for a certain amount of in game gold. ZOS still earns money.
In fact I'll posit the opposite, that by making houses giftable they'd end up earning more money because people who would otherwise never be able to afford, or willing to spend what amounts to a whole new game, for the luxury hiuses but have plenty of in game gold would be willing To buy it via gifting. Which in turn would mean that someon else, with plenty of real life cadh, had bought crowns from ZOS.
At the end of the day though both of us are merely speculating, but the gidting system for houses weren't removed for monetary reasons but because it was too bugged.6 -

And besides - everyone knows that you show off your conspicuous "IRL wealth" by decorating your Giant Crown House with dozens of Sweetrolls. Any peasant can have a giant house, after all.

✭✭✭✭✭It's been so long since we had a house release available for gold. I don't know if it means the boat has completely sailed on that option, but it's pretty sad, given how houses can't be gifted either (and how most new releases are ridiculously expensive). Lucky Cat Landing should have been available for gold, imo.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm guessing we'll be getting some more houses with Greymoor, but having some extra houses in certain areas like the OP suggested would be nice.
However, I'm nowhere near my goal of buying every house in the game that can be bought for gold, so they don't have to rush on my account.The Moot Councillor0 -

I completely agree @Iluvrien that’s a wonderful idea.
You’re not showing off at all, lol. It is very insightful the points and places you bring up.
Come to think of it you’re right. There are lots of houses I have come across, that were chained up and not being used.
Do you or anyone know of some good ones to be noted for possible sale?

No, Never *yikes* ZOS always brings things back.
They sometimes they remove things from the crown store to make room for a multi product launch.
But I will remove that in the OP. Do not want to cause any confusion or something unwanted.

There is a better chance if we the community make it known to the peeps working on ESO.
I would love it, if there was a gold and crown option like there use to be.
The house gifting part should be remedied to be giftable once again. Still not understanding that issue on the non-limited homes and such tbh.

Absolutely. So, so many places that could be turned into player housing.
It would be nice if they released new houses that could be done with achievements or crowns to bypass said achievements, like Hakkvild's High Hall. Been a long, long, long time since we saw a house released that wasn't crown exclusive or part of a chapter (Hall of Lunar Champion and Alinor Crest Townhouse being the only 2 in 2 years, afaik).

Do you have a source for this? I've never heard of this being the case.
In any case a workaround for all kinds of Crown Store gifting bugs would be Crown Promissory NotesDusk_Coven wrote: »Crown Promissory Notes in denominations of 100, 1000, and 10000 Crowns.
-A Tradeable item that lets you redeem it for Crowns. This would replace gifting as the main (and insecure) way to "sell Crowns".
-Not saleable to NPC vendors.
-Redeemed by Destroying it -- so you can't "accidentally" destroy it, nor can you accidentally redeem it.
-If you can't sell it, you can just redeem it yourself. Lossless.
