And how is the game meant to make money to keep the game running?

the only paywall is the chapter Elsweyr, which next year will become a DLC too.

anything that can be bought with Crowns are obtainable ingame. You can pay gold for players to gift you Crown Store items. There's nothing in the Crown Store that you can not obtain ingame.

this doesn't define any paywall or cash grab to me. Sure crafting bag from ESO+ is very convenient, but is not mandatory to play.

You have hundreds of hours of content with the base game at which point you can determine if the game is worth investing more $.

ESO+ isn't a pay wall either is any of the other content,you really should take the time to fully understand a paywall.

This is an MMO that cost money to not only keep going but to make new content and without a required sub the money has to come from some place and sure hell not going to all come from people buying the base game or the over priced crown store.Crown store is just a tool to keep people engaged in the game and them playing and more likely to buy new content as it comes out.

Paywall ask for a fee to access content as a recurring fee not a one-time fee like this content is.

All that being said the base game offers a lot of content and should give you plenty of content to play and try out and if you don't like it then you're shouldn't be buying the other content.

Plus is just a bonus but is not even needed to enjoy the game,sure the craft bag and double bank space is great,but unless your some kind of hoarder it's not needed.You could sub to plus and get the more crowns then buying a 15.00 pack at the same price,plus access for 30 days to all dlc and craft bag.

A craft bag that you can still access after your plus is up,and any stuff you earn while playing said DLC stays with you that includes collection stuff.So if you had the time you could beat all the DLC and keep all the gear and unlocks but sure it's all a paywall despite allowing you keep all gear and such.

No, the houses aren't giftable in ESO. But only houses. Also gold farming is very long and boring so I prefer to pay real money but save my time.

you can make gold by playing whatever you want. For example i don't farm mats to sell or stuff like this, i do random dungeons then i decon stuff, and sell the mats or whatever else drops from dungeons or reward mails. Haven't payed one single euro above the base game price when i acquired it, and so far i have all DLCs that don't have dungeons and some other stuff from the Crown Store (like additional character slot). Plus, i still have 3m gold in bank. But i play almost daily though.

Yeah lots of paywalls which get defended often by the "zos can do no wrong" crown.
Craft bag = paywall
Imperial race = paywall
Neco/Warden = paywall
Many more too

People use the "well it needs money to run" excuse...but the game's performance gets worse the more money people throw at this game. Also I feel bad for those still stuck on the Steam-ESO launcher with the well known login issue that is ignored.

craft bag is only a convenience, i don't have it and i manage just fine. You can use 1-2 characters as inventory extensions (called "mules"). Imperial race and Warden class can be bought with gold. Necro class is the only paywall (as i specified in my first post) but this will also become acquirable with ingame gold next year. Post your "many more too", i'll have reply for them too.

ESO Is the least p2whatever from any game i played (respecting the price-quality ratio).

ESO is just like Guild Wars

the gear system is so lame in this game

Cash grab and p2w are two different things , Games need to move away for the EA type of Loot-Box which is pretty much gambling.

Not outfit slots and them are 1,500 crowns + only a per character bound thing, so not everything.
