Okay, why was this removed from Rolis Hlaalu's writ voucher shop and directly sent to the crown store for 2,500 c?

Edit: apparently not removed, but still, selling an item that is available in game for a lot of crowns for a limited time and featured on the store when opening it is scummy. They are even going to remove a lot of the shady crown items with u49, so seeing this isn't great.

    It's still at Rolis for me (I have purchased it from him before, not sure if that has anything to do with it).

    Sea Witch Weather Totem is still sold by Rolis Hlaalu for 800 writ vouchers.

    Chronometer of the Tribunal is also sold for Crowns, though that one is has not left the store since release.
    it is weird the the Weather Totem is limited time instead.

    Was not visible to me, but that still leaves the question, why is it sold at the crown store for 2,5k crowns when it exist in game

    Same reason storage chests are sold for writ vouchers, Tel Var, and crowns. Not everyone does every part of the game and still want access to various items.

    To avoid bad surprises especially for new players, I think items sold through the crown store that are also obtainable through other means for free (by just playing the game) should be marked as such.

    All of those resources are in game ones. This is feeling the same as their vampire/werewolf curses and cures, which they are even going to remove because of how scummy they are.

    As Syldras said, they should mention these things are obtainable in game.

    I have no problem if they make it known in the crown store; I was just pointing out that some people don't have a master crafter to get writ vouchers, so allowing it to be purchased from the crown store is a good option for them.
