How do you feel about ESO+ benefits?

While it seems like we have more on paper, it actually feels like we're getting less and less each year with ESO plus and it makes it harder to want to keep it. I personally only keep it becuase the inventory management is a mess without it. Same with the furnishing cap and bank. Everything else just doesn't have the same feel when I first started subing.

The only loss of eso+ value for me was when I bought all the dungeon DLCs. My reasons for eso+ are: craft bag, housing, costume dying, eso+ exclusive rewards (mostly paintings). While those four things exist, eso+ will not lose value for me.

Added Value (You feel like you're getting more for the money you pay).

because the extra benefits added value.
i think it would be nice if there was more, but i also prefer new things to be available to everyone instead.

I think its a good start, but i feel as though they should triple bank space and also triple the space we have for the storage chests in our homes.

Content was never a huge part of my draw to ESO+, though it was a nice perk. The tome points are objectively a slight bonus, mostly a catch up mechanic, but I do like seeing the numbers go up just a little faster. So I voted about the same.

By the why, I found out the tome point caches are issued and spent independtly across servers. So say you open a cache on the EU server, unlike crowns, you would still have the same amount to use on the NA server. Which is nice for those who play on both.

About the Same.

I always resent "create a problem, pay for a solution" that the craft bag represents, but I get crowns I always end up spending and some other stuff, so if I'm playing a lot it's fine to me.

I don't have any issues supporting the game in general, even if I don't like specific things.

For me it's about the same.

I agree the DLC access was (and maybe still is) a big part of ESO+ for a lot of people but I rarely subscribe and always buy the DLC I want to play, so for me it wasn't relevant.

My usual reasons for subscribing are to get access to costume dying, double furnishing space and the exclusive/discounted crown store items, and sometimes because it's the most cost-effective way to get the amount of crowns I want. Dumping stuff into the craft bag can be useful too, but it only takes a few seconds so it never feels worth paying for 30 days of subscription time.

Last time it also allowed me to unlock the companions (but they're permanently available once you've got them so it's a one-off benefit) and to access the furnishing vault. Like the craft bag that's locked when you don't have an active subscription, so you can withdraw items but not add more in, but it still freed up a lot of space in my storage chests.

All the other stuff, tiny boosts to XP and things, and extra storage space I don't care about. I don't notice the difference when I have it and I don't notice when it's gone.

I haven't used the cache of tome points yet because I didn't need it, and I've been subscribed for a total of 9 months over the past 11 years, so unless something changes it's going to be a very long time before I get to use the premium tome token.

Maitsukas · July 4

I would bump up the monthly allotment of Crowns to 2000 at minimum, considering the prices of a lot of things in there lately. We've only had one increase in the past, when 1500/month was increased to 1650/month.

YffresTrill · July 4

I have only continued to sub due to the craft bag, and all other benefits are incidental for me. If they removed the craft bag, I would stop subbing and buy the DLC I am missing instead.

So, no difference for me.

Alaya · July 5

I feel like it's lost value, to an extent, because of the premium tomes. I feel like as subscribers, we should get at least a couple of extra things in our tomes, maybe not like the premium ones, but like one or two things like they have with the statuettes/paintings in the store for ESO+ folks.

Everything else is fine, although I do wish we'd get more chests or extra inventory slots in our banks.
