Regarding the Upcoming Atronach Service Providers

As a person who loves the art of flame atronachs in ESO, I'm very excited at the thought of having summonable atronachs of my own at long last.
Why, though, did ZOS make the flame atronach the banker, and the cold atronach the merchant? Wouldn't it make more sense for the flame atronach to "burn up" your goods in exchange for coin, and the cold atronach to freeze and preserve your stuff? Is it too late to "correct" this?

    i really don't understand why that would matter
    they're both flame atronachs, cold flame isn't ice
    it's just a coldharbour thing
    these flame atronachs can both burn things

    this would make sense if a cold flame atronach were a frost atronach, but it is not

    The flame atronach being a merchant in my fantasy game don't make no sense!

    They should, instead, have a single default banker and merchant (humanoid) for less than the current price then sell the individual skins for 250-450 crowns each.

    That should solve most of the aesthetic issues.

    Might raise the blood pressure of the bean-counters - and those who already bought the previous iterations at current price - a smidgeon though.

    A quick Google search regarding flame colors and temperatures:

    Orange flames range from around 1100°C to 1200°C (~2012°F to ~2192°F). For blue flames, or flames with a blue base, you can expect the temperature to rise dramatically, hitting roughly 2500°C to 3000°C (~4532°F to ~5432°F)

    I'm more amused that the new flame atronach banker and merchant can't be summoned in trials because apparently they're bugged and "can't be used in timed instances." :D
