It would be nice if they sold us hair colours as one of those cosmetic packs for our collection. Like the hairstyle, body/face marking ones.

Isn't this already available as an appearance change token?

I am surprised there is not a package for each like the hairstyle package. It is revenue after all and sticks with the theme of what is already offered.

why always BUY BUY BUY ?

We have alchemy, let us use it for something other than weapon/spell power pots.

Even WoW (for all it's many, many, many, many, many faults) allows you to do this for in-game gold. And yes, that is a purely sub-based game, but then I have never played ESO without being subbed so I consider ESO to be as sub-based game as well.

It would be great if we could change the hair colours without having to buy a race change or whatever token. They are pricey and I dont mind buying them when I change my character drastic but just for a different haircolour is to expensive.

I do just want the colours we have I dont like crazy pink and green etc. colours.
Even if it is only a option for eso+ members.

I'm down for this but only if they make eye color a separate section in Collections. I don't want to have to choose between face markings and eye color.

I agree with this. I'd already like to see a new category for eye effects because at the moment they're scattered all over - some are face markings, some are apparently facial hair and I think some are adornments. I'd like to see them all put together in a dedicated category, and then eye colours could go into the same one.

Because ZOS are highly unlikely to do it for free. Players have been asking for this for years (basically since the game launched) and they haven't done it. Maybe if they know we'd be willing to pay for it they'd be more likely to do it.

But also if it was like the hair style, marking and adornment packs it would be a one-time cost to change it whenever you like. That might not be worth it if you just want to make a one-off change but if you're using it frequently it's a better deal.

In games where you have to pay gold or cash-shop currency each time you change your hair I almost never do it. In ESO I do it all the time. My characters tie their hair back and take jewellery off when going into a delve, they style their hair and get all dolled up for special occasions or meeting dignitaries, sometimes they get dressed up just to go into town.

Define ''free''.
Does free mean just given to every player without needing to do anything or does free mean purchasable with gold?

In 2022 there's absolutely no reason they can't just give you a full-spectrum color slider and let you pick EXACTLY what hair and eye color you want at character creation. ZoS already monetizes the ever-loving crap out of any new addition to the game, I don't think they need more ideas.

But then it's restricted to the character creator and you'd have to either delete and re-make the character or pay for an appearence change token in the crown store every time you want to change it. If it was a style pack like the hair styles, adornments etc. you'd pay once (and could use gold via gifting) and then you can use them as many times as you like for free.

Frankly, I don't get why people are asking for a paid cosmetic feature. The amount of pay to get cosmetics in this game and the lack of it as lootable items is staggering. Not even mentioning the prices, which I think are ridiculous.
I can understand that these items have to be paid for, without a monthly sub. But those who do sub should get them for free by either as a reward or free purchase from the store.

I really don't get how people feel good about this. In fact, this business model got me to stop playing the game as soon as my sub ran out. If there was anything nice to grind for, I'd be fine with paying a sub and log in to grind for it. But with this business model, there is nothing for players like me, an old skool MMORPG player.
Pretty sad, because I do like many features of this game, but their business model totally ruins the experience for me personally.

To me paying a monthly subscription and hoping ZOS chooses to use the money to add things you want and and are happy for your money to go towards sounds like a more unreliable and likely more expensive way of doing things.

I find it much more straight-forward (and often cheaper) to not subscribe and instead buy things from the crown store (using real money to get crowns) if I want them. That way I know exactly what I'm getting and what it costs, instead of hoping the arbitary amount I've paid in advance balances out with what I get from it. For me it's often cheaper too (especially since they reduced 2 releases a year down to a pair of dungeons so I'm only buying 1 chapter and 1 DLC).

Of course I'd like everything to always be free, but I'm old enough to understand that's not how the world works and the people at ZOS need to be paid for their work. But I want to know what I'm paying for and how much it costs when choosing whether to buy it.

Hair yes, Eyes no. You can't dye your eye balls.
