How many crowns do you generally purchase on a monthly basis?

Zippity do dah

scrappy1342 · June 18

zero. never bought outside of my sub. which i have now dropped. i have probably spent billions of gold through crown sellers though

MrGarlic · June 18

Zero, they are simply too expensive for me. I will make do with the few I get if I get ESO+ for a month.

spartaxoxo · June 18

I don't buy crowns every month but I do buy crowns occasionally. The amount I buy varies from year to year. So, IDK.

0-5000 is a MASSIVE range... That spans from those who buy none to those who have a serious problem. Who actually buys more than $50 worth of crowns in a month?

Whether they have a serious problem depends on their monthly disposable income and play time. There's no specific dollar amount that qualifies as a serious issue.

$40 US for 5500 crowns. So that would be a anywhere from $0 - $40/mo. I wouldn't call that a serious problem. A tad luxurious for some perhaps, but not much more than that.

I usually make do with the crowns from the annual ESO+ sub at most I might buy a single 21000 crown pack on sale every few years.

If you read in my synopsis, I was specifying outside of ESO+ crowns with your sub each month, how many do you purchase SEPARATELY, in which case for you that would be 0 and fall under 0 - 5,000.

Now that I get my annual allotment from plus renewal? "Almost" zero. There may be an odd exception where I've used up my balance but theres a sale or an item I very much want. Otherwise I just wait till the next deposit.

DreamyLu · June 18

I never ever purchased crowns since I play this game because:
- I get a good crown amount from ESO+.
- I very rarely purchase in crown store.
- I buy most houses with gold and mounts with seals of end.

All in all, I have little use for crowns and thanks to ESO+, a continuous incoming source for them, so that I have more than enough without needing to buy from other players.

MISTFORMBZZZ · June 18

Only here and there if there is a really cool apex mount, wich is rare.

Aliniel · June 18

Poorly designed poll. I've never bought crowns directly. Crown store is overpriced af.

then do 0-5000 ? its including 0

fizzybeef · June 18

Im not interested in paying zos bills.
I do like to support them with my purchases but only if they develop something worthly.

I dont need a monthly ripoff of the same mount with different colours, thought i would instant buy a 6 player mount for example.

Otherwise imo they need to deliver first, atm they only make the community unhappy, so i kinda refuse to spend money on the game.

Imperial_Archmage · June 18

None, and my ESO+ ones have been pilling up too for quite sometime because there hasn’t been anything interesting to spend them on. Personally, I am interested in two themes Ayleid and Psijic. I’ve already gotten everything that’s been made available so far from both of them so I have nothing to spend crowns on. If I see something I like though, the sky is the limit. Gaming is my favorite pastime and I don’t have a budget.

kargen27 · June 18

I picked other because I purchase crowns from other players with my in game gold. In the spirit of the poll I'm guessing that means I fall in the 0-5000 range but somebody has to purchase the crowns I get with their real world money. I'm probably going to get another armory slot on all of my characters and the ones I play often I will grab two more slots. Not sure off the top of my head how many crowns that will be but my purchasing goes in cycles.
I've also bought several houses and crates with in game gold for crowns.

Sarannah · June 18

Not sure actually... I used to hold around 200k crowns at all times. And if there were a crown pack discount, I'd refill it to 200k again.

But with all the cuts on content, me having almost everything from the crownstore already, and crown crates seemingly having WAY worse odds(atleast for me). I barely buy crown packs anymore, up to the point that I am now usually sitting only around 50-100k crowns.

I still love the game, but I am not wanting to feel like I am wasting money. So I don't.

Lugaldu · June 18

The crowns from ESO Plus are never enough for me, as I consider housing a "serious" hobby and therefore often buy houses or items from the Housing store. Depending on the building project, I sometimes spend more, sometimes less, but I have no problem buying 5,500 crowns on average once a month — it's like going to a restaurant, except I get more enjoyment out of the crowns than from 1-2 meals.

Make a 0 option without no 5000

that would be accurate

just assume anyone in the 5000 is 0

That's how I'm reading this poll. Zero is in the lead by a far margin.

ADarklore · June 18

Well, I don't buy 'per month' but I tend to buy about three of the 21K packs when on sale, and throughout the year I'll buy another couple of 21K at regular price... depending on what I need.

Based on what I'm seeing here, this explains a lot of WHY ZOS is focusing on a certain group that tends to buy more Crowns.

robwolf666 · June 18

I used to buy Crowns a lot until I finally connected the store prices in Crowns to their real-world cost.

After that, buying them regularly came to an abrupt halt.

I’ll still grab some if there’s a sale or something truly catches my eye—but these days, it has to be something really special.

I’ve had around 2500 sitting in my account for the better part of a year, if not longer.

Renato90085 · June 18

depends on how bad/good the store item is
an i have how much gold can spend crown seller

Soarora · June 18

I used to buy crowns if theres something that interests me and when they’re on sale. ZOS has lost my crown money though. Its a rocky road of ZOS doing things I do and do not like but my attitude is still too low to buy crowns.

Vulsahdaal · June 18

Im another one who doesnt buy monthly, but only when on sale. I usually pick up (3) 21000 packs in April another (3) in August, and (4) 21000 packs in December. So I averaged it monthly to around 17,500.

noxdave · June 18

I used to buy crowns during the sales. I have 42k crowns on XBX, 7k on pS5. I never am interested in the repurposed items they sell. I have the QOL assistants. I don't buy crates, complete waste of time and money IMHO. I'm unable to gift because they say I'm not active enough (4 years of everyday login and playing). So they do not seem to want money from me apart from my plus subscription, and now these story chapters or whatever they called. I was playing both XBX and PS5 both with +. Shut down PS5 recently as it seems you have to beg them to take your money (as it relates to gifting). So I just keep Xbox going as that's the system I started this whole thing on. I reluctantly dropped the $50 for the new release today and still keep + active. Could have been a $100 if I kept PS5 going. Again, not going to beg for gifting privileges. If they want to punish everyone for the actions of a few bad actors that of course is their choice. But I won't play that particular game of constantly submitting tickets asking for the privilege of being allowed to spend my money with them. Is ESO going to go broke because noxdave can't gift a house? Doubt it highly. Do they care? Doubt that even higher. But it does show me where to, or not to spend my money.

ZOS will never get another dime from me besides the basic fees to keep playing. Which is kinda sad as I do really love the game.

ellmarie · June 18

I have ESO+, but also only buy crowns when on major sale.

I don't think so, mine have been sitting in my account for a year+. Maybe it depends how you get them. If you pay for them, it'd be a bit of a cheek for them to expire.

I would prefer a separate option "I do not buy crowns". Since it's not there, I will stick to "Other" option.

0 = buying no crowns

That's fine though lol that's why I made an other option

That would have been a lot more sensible as an option in its own right, as it is there's no way of differentiation between buying 5000 crowns per month and not buying any at all.

I don't buy any on a monthly basis.
