Other: I would not pay for a class change token because I rather see a system like Final Fantasy XIV where I can play any class on the same character simply by loading the config I want to play.

As wishfull thinking it would be nice buy we ain't getting that for free I tell thee that much

Though I would likely level a separate one and do some content before deciding to actual do a class change on an existing character.

Didn't play FF long enough to get to that point but from what I have heard of their system that would be the most ideal feature but not getting my hopes up.

Other: make change class available via the armory system?

Why do you guys want to get charged for everything in a virtual world?

My characters background is partially built around their class. To change the class would require I change who the character is. Yes, the grind is a little annoying, but I don't want to have to change the character. I would rather get to know a new character.

You really don't need to do "Everything" again to make a new character competitive.

Especially outside of veteran content, where the only thing you'd "need" is a bit of mount speed IMO.

I love having new characters show up in my mind, begging for creation, and I love leveling alts. So your "no" doesn't fit as I don't find it a grind.

[Wish people wouldn't editorialize in poll options. Yes, No, Other is all that's necessary.]

I agree terrible poll option. a flat out NO is what I would have given, as I will never level up another char here.

I despise the grind.

Not as long as players keep saying they would be willing to pay for it.

How much overt monetization of PVE and PVP balance are you willing to put up with?

Every update, classes get small and large changes. Many MMO players swap to the new most powerful classes. Are you willing to slap an obvious price tag on it when ZOS buffs one class and nerfs another?

There's a reason why ZOS so rarely adjusts Racial Passives. Each time they do, they get a lot of heat for how monetized it is due to Race Change tokens. There's a 3000 crown price tag to those changes. If ZOS eventually adds a Class Change token, you can expect to hear "ZOS is nerfing X to sell Class Change tokens" a lot.


How much are you willing to pay? Think about your number.

Now, look at how ZOS monetizes making new characters for meta shifts or a new class: How does that stack up against how much you'd be willing to pay for a class change token?


With all that said, I do expect ZOS will eventually add a Class Change token once the playerbase as a whole is no longer willing to play to level or pay for convienence. Once that happens, ZOS wants to offer them an expensive, but quick way to skip making new characters and instead get right back to using their existing characters with the new meta class.

In other words, I expect it to be something that comes more at the end of ESO's lifespan when the focus is less on enticing players to play for a long time and more on milking them for pay during the shorter time they play.

Now, I'm not an "ESO is dying" player, so I think we've got a ways to go before Class Change tokens. But who knows? Maybe the Devs will surprise me.

Now, look at how ZOS monetizes making new characters for meta shifts or a new class:

It'll only cost you...
8000 crowns for bag space
18000 crowns for maxed riding
17000 crowns for FG, MG, Undaunted, Psijic, Legerdemain
800x however many zones worth of skyshards you need. Based on a quick Google, I see that roughly 90-120 skyshards are recommended, so call it 5600 crowns for 7 packs?

Even just with what I listed, that's 48,600 Crowns, or roughly $355 (at non-sale prices) if someone buys all the pay-for-convenience items.

Most players don't buy ALL that stuff, but ZOS nickel and dimes a fair bit of profit off players making new characters to follow the meta or try a convince. ZOS also benefits from players who don't pay at all, but do play the game for hours to level through playing.

How does that stack up against how much you'd be willing to pay for a class change token?

ZOS was talking about tent-poles so maybe that new class is the tent-pole into the cash shop.

Absolutely I would.
For some reason I'd already thought this was a thing, they have service tokens for everything else BUT class change.
It's essentially just a career change for a character, IDEK why there isn't one, I'd buy several right away.
I have a LVL 30-somthing DK that I just can't get a feel for. I like her look, horse training is close to done, etc. Would love to switch her class.
Heck even if would reset the character's skill points, I'm still all for it.

I mean, I could decide tomorrow that I want to change careers from IT and become a chef.
So yeah I would have to learn all those skills, but that also doesn't mean I would forget all my secondary non-career skills like how to drive a car, or fix one, etc.

@ZOS_Kevin is there a proper place to submit feature requests?

Ypu know you can reset skill points and characters points in game right?

No, Hate the grind, but hate the crown store more.
