Too many different currencies in the currency tab!!

It's getting kinda convoluted.

Especially the "Caches of Tome Points" and "Premium Tome Tokens" are just taking up space. Maybe give them their own little window in the Tamriel Tomes UI?

I think that's the point, keep the currencies disparate so it's harder to keep track of spending!

Wouldn't that be more effective if they were shown in disparate menus? Right now they can all be compared on the same screen.

Plausible deniability!

It's been proven repeatedly that the use of different currencies obscures our ability to track what we're really spending. That's why they exist in the first place and have proliferated across all forms of monetized gaming, as many people who play any sort of game (even - and especially - on mobile) will know. That can't be denied, and there would be little point in even trying to do so at this point as consumers have become much more conscious of it.

At any rate, whether the cluttering of the currency list is either an attempt to cover that up nevertheless or to try to help us, it doesn't seem to me to be effective either way.

A thread was started on this not long ago: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/690319/too-many-currencies#latest . I do agree the tome points and caches should be only viewable in the tome.
