Explain to me HOW you can buy crowns cheaper than the crown store.

I am furious about this situation. I have 35K of legit crowns. You have simply got to STOP selling crowns at discounted rates. You are allowing ppl to STEAL your intellectual/virtual property.

There is NO reason crowns should be cheaper anywhere. Do you really feel obligated to offer deals to 3rd World & LDC's because they can't afford crowns at the normal rate? I do not think Crown buying & gold selling should be a way for people to make a living off of ZOS's intellectual property and virtual goods. And NO. I do not feel sorry for someone that is "stealing just to feed their family."

Google and check. I do hope to get a reply. JUST STOP SELLING CROWNS IN COUNTRIES THAT CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY.

This is also driving up the prices in the AH. You need to get a grip and realize some of those trade guilds are the main sources of RWT and gold selling. (and NOTE I did not name any particular countries (as I once got a forum ban for doing so). If people can not afford to pay the standard rate for crowns, have you thought about the fact that they don't need to buy them?

I support crowns being sold in other countries for rates that are fair for their cost of living.

Just because you got lucky to be born in a nice, first-world country doesn’t mean you should keep those less fortunate from enjoying the game.

I can't tell if this is about Gifting crowns; or discounted Crown Store purchases.

I think it’s about other countries where you can purchase Crowns more cheaply because their local currency is not as valuable as USD. They can then sell it for gold in game. There are better ways to address this than pricing out players from less wealthy countries.

Explain to me HOW this affects you in any way?

Either buy crowns, or don't. I buy some when they are on sale-- is that "unfair" to the people who buy them at full price, or somehow "stealing"?

It's a game currency. Get a grip.

Hello,

We always encourage players to obtain crowns in accordance to their local pricing rather than circumvent systems. However, since this thread is not going to resolve the issue at hand among community members, it would better be suited for you to send us feedback. We can share the feedback with our teams directly. You can do that here. We are also closing this thread.

Thanks all.
