Are we getting a Crown sale again this year?

    I hope so, I likely won't buy them until then, too pricy at their default price. But I set aside $100 for it to keep me going for a while.
    Hoping for more playable races.

    I just want werewolf to be viable in endgame PvE T.T (which not allowed according to PTS update 50)

    looks like there is no mention in the black fredas announcement of a crowns sale.

    Great, so no crown sale? That sucks.... Well I'm patient, I will wait another 6 months if need be, there's nothing I need Right Now but I refuse to pay full price.

    Agreed, looks like I'll be holding onto my $100 until they finally do.

    Yeah, in the official thread for the Black Friday bundle it was said there will be no crown sale this time... maybe, hopefully, in Christmas?

    But yeah, it would have been nice.

    Phew ... lucky me there isn't gonna be crown packs sale. I wouldn't be able to resist buying every time a sale take place. The last one was only a couple of months ago and I spent a little over £50 - which is a little too much considering that I also an ESO+ member.

    Lame. Was really looking forward to a crown sale. Oh well, plenty of other places to spend black Friday money on :) but still hoping they'll have a sale...

    Well, there goes all my interest in actually buying the new crates. I knew it was too good to be true with all the free stuff we got recently that I'm never going to use anyway.

    Last year's crown sale was October after One Tamriel. There is still a possibility of one during to upcoming play for free weekend.

    One thing for sure, they don't advertise the crown sales, they just sort of drop.

    I have what is likely a foolish question: If I buy the bundle that includes the riding lessons, but all characters on the account are maxed, can I sell them in the guilds or trade them to others?

    I believe they are bound to your account, so no.
    You can bank them and save them for a future character through.

    No. Anything like that bought from the Crown Store is unsellable and untradeable. You can't even give them away.

    - Dunmer Templar dps/healer [she's a healer, then again she likes inferno staff too...]
    And..
    - High Elf SorcMag dps [It's quite possible his daddy was a Nord.]

    They'd make more money with Crowns being on sale than an expansion that like 70% of the ESO population already has,

    There were two sales last fall. One in October, one in November.

    It's accurate to say this is the first time there hasn't been a crown sale for Black Friday since Tamriel Unlimited released.

    There really should have been a Crown Sale this year. Guess it's just bad luck that the year I joined happens to be the year where Black Fredas yields no Crown Sale. ZOS, thanks for making me feel robbed! >.<

    They don't want crown sales to become predictable, as it will mean people will postpone buying crowns - that much is apparent.

    I'm kind of surprised that there is no in-store discount of individual items, though. That's exactly what I'd do, to make people spend their stashed crowns (thus forcing them to buy new ones for full price). ;)

    It's only hurting themselves. The consumer gets to keep their money and ZOS makes nothing during a time when other game companies are probably making huge profits.

    Their loss and their fault for predatory cash shop practices!

    Not only apparent, but people have been talking about it for at least the last month. Now, ZOS/Bethesda is testing our resolve. Will we break and buy now, or hold out until the next sale?

    I figure they have some non-lore Tamrielic Christmas stuff planned for December to help people make the decision to buy at full price.

    I pay for ESO+ so I will only buy Crowns when on sale. This just means I get to save some money so maybe I will buy a new game instead. Been tempted to pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for my Switch. I still have Doom and Mario Odyssey (finished main story for both but lots of extras to find still) and Skyrim on my Switch to play as well which we all know is a hugh time sink as well.

    ZOS, way to push me (and I am sure others) away from the game... or at least away from spending additional money. I try to budget my gaming expenses and I love this game but to spend above ESO+ I won't pay full price for Crowns but always set my gaming budget aside for Crown sales but no sale this time so your loss, not mine!

    I still log in but my play sessions are generally shorter when I have other games on the go so I guess I'm getting Xenoblade added to my Switch library now next month instead, thanks ZOS!

    I wish I could say that, but any money not spent on a crown sale will go to my family for the holidays
