I guess part of this depends on where you live. I'm in the UK, and for a 6 months sub on ESO I pay £41.94. When I subscribed to WoW last year a 6 months sub was £52.00. As a subscriber to ESO, DLCs are free. Only chapters are paid for, as is the case with expansions in WoW although they are less frequent.

you overpaid.
you said you came back to eso, so you already own the base game.
the chapter alone costs 33 cad, at least where i looked.
I dont know how much eso+ is in canada, but i bet its not 67 dollars unless you pay for like 6 months.

Yup I could have bought just greymoor for 55 bucks save maybe 15 bucks but I needed elewyer too and that was another 40 bucks also the 55 buck expansion is not listed in the Microsoft store you have to search for it

Every time I buy a DLC, it devalues the membership and it's a huge pain in the ass to play without the crafting bag. If you're going to let me buy content outright, let me pay for the perks outright too.

I'm old enough to have come from a time in Gaming where the "DLC" of today, used to be called Expansions. They were separately packaged and sold on their own discs. Remember Half Life: Opposing Force? Or Call of Duty: United Offensive? ESO's Chapters are practically the modern day Expansions of the base game. It's too much content to not charge money for.
I don't particularly view ESO to be any more expensive than other titles I've played. Yes, I've spent hundreds, possibly nearing $1,000 on this game on DLC, Chapters, a Sub, and Crown packs, but that's been over the last 5 years.

.. in which case you should have mentioned that your "bucks" are actually canadian dollars. Because by default, everyone will rightly assume that they are USD.

Not sure why it was $100. Did you get some kind of collector's edition or something? I came back after a 6-8 month break and only had to drop like $40.
Nope standard ed 63 bucks plus tax it was actually on salewith tax greymoor cost 80 bucks almost 2x the amount of the original game....I missed buying the last chapter elsyware? so 40 bucks per chapter not too bad but still expensive.... and 20 bucks for the sub....semi worth it because you really just buying crowns the rest of the stuff craft bag etc are bonus
But still dropping 100 bucks for a game is still expensive...but then I love TES games almost as much as I love Warhammer
Wish there was Warhammer mmo
EVE Online
14,95 EURO a month can go down to 11 euros a month,
On most expensive way its 180 euros a year, tho they dont have any yearly expansions you purchase because well frankly enough that MMO is very old and barely gets content updates.

I just looked it up on the MS store. Wow That store front is horrible. What a mess. How do you find anything? Even the search results are horrible to sift through. Anyway, pretty sure you didnt have to buy Elsweyr, it should be free when the next chapter comes out out, IIRC.
I don't mind buying expansions and such or paying my monthly sub. I've been paying a monthly sub since Ultima Online release. What I really hate is having to pay $10 or whatever it is to customize my characters hair or change war paint from the original character creation options. I had to drop that a while back just to add the black stripe across my eyes. The other day I thought about dropping the stripe and going with a circlet but I'll be damned if I'm giving them another $10 ish for something that should be free from an in game barbershop or something.
You forgot to mention GW2.World of warcraft: $15 a month & $60-80 a year on a expansion.
EVE Online 14,95 EURO a month can go down to 11 euros a month,
FFIX Online $15 a month, $60 for the game, $40-60 for a new chapter.
ESO $60 Base game, (Includes all previous chapters & current chapter) + $15/month subscription. (Down to $11 a month if buying a year.) That brings your price to $192-$240 dollars, depending if you purchase a year worth of ESO+ or per month.
