Proudspire Manor is literally just a few copy/pasted vanilla assets placed in the most bland, vanilla low-resolution way possible and I am simply shocked that they'd want the price equivalent of a full AAA game for it. It's just staggering.

But if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. It’s not compulsory.
Have you seen other houses? 1 million gold is a standard price for such a house. Crown price is standard too. There is nothing new regarding pricing here.Yeah, I generally don't agree with the current generation's constant negativity surrounding gaming products. We are extremely spoiled with our entertainment products, and my philosophy has always generally been, "if you don't like it, vote with your wallet and shut your trap."
But ESO player housing. Their pricing is just egregious for something so incredibly underwhelming.

I know I could buy this for in-game gold, but I think it costs like.... 1 million gold?
Personally I don't care about housing in games at all (even in Skyrim when mods are all free of charge and 20 times better than this garbage), but I truly cannot understand how people would pay full price for this terrible excuse for an asset flip. I am terrible at house building, and I could have made this in an afternoon of copy/pasting.
Shouldn't player housing be more... profound than this for the prices they want? Shouldn't I be able to populate my homes with pets, guards, functional schedules and such? (I'm thinking WoW garrisons, though not nearly as essential.)
Shouldn't there be unique assets, quests, actual *content* for something that costs upwards of 60, sometimes 120 dollars?
I apologize for the rant, I normally try not to post pure complain threads, but I am simply blown away by the stratospheric levels of mediocrity to be found in Proudspire Manor. It's shameful.
Why are you giving prices in gold? Are houses giftables, now?
Btw, you CAN place pets, mounts, your personal npc’s etc in them.
@AyeshaBelladonna I didn't know this. Is this difficult to achieve? I currently have about two or three dozen non-combat pets and also mounts that I literally never use ever (don't want some critter following me around). Is it as simple as placing them or do you have to buy plans or something?

House Pricing in a nutshell for those of you that have only seen limited release houses:
The vast majority of homes available in the game are purchasable with gold and the cost varies. 3k for an Inn Room, then 50/60k range, scaling into the hundreds of thousands then the millions. A large home, one size below the Notables generally go for 1.3mil give or take. Dozes are under the mil mark. Coldharbour is the only 1mil Notable though, the other three original Notables that have a title attached to them are roughly 3.5mil range but can also be bought for gold. Earthtear cavern is, I think, the only base game home addition that is crown only. (Haven’t looked at Hakkvild’s lately but I think that has a for gold option too) The exorcised coven cottage is the only limited edition house also available via achievement and gold. The rest of the limited release homes are crown only and aside from Lucky Cat Landing and Snow Globe are all a notable size homes.

Why bother coming here? These 2 paragraphs basically show that you have contradicted yourself. To voice such a stance via a forum thread in the Housing forums...come one whom are you kidding? Yourself really.Yeah, I generally don't agree with the current generation's constant negativity surrounding gaming products.

I was touring the furnished version of Proudspire. I admit that I am not a housing person on here, but is it normal for the chairs and benches to be just for looks, no option to sit?
In Preview one cannot sit on chairs or benches. You can sit in it once you buy it.I was touring the furnished version of Proudspire. I admit that I am not a housing person on here, but is it normal for the chairs and benches to be just for looks, no option to sit?
