Will They Ever Just Sell The Crafting Bag?

[snugginz]

I ditched the game because bombarded with inventory, much of it crafting and without the Crafting Bag to store all the junk it was just too much inventory management.

I wanted to craft as most everyone in this kind of game does. But I only play occasionally maybe 3-6 months off then a few weeks on, so a monthly account was just not worth it just for a crafting bag.

IMO should be able to just buy one.
So have they ever sold it separately? Will they ever? Or is the Crafting Bag/Inventory bombardment always going to be the catch of this game?

Don't you think crafting is a major element of this kind of game?
Why not bother with it? Too much hassle with the bombardment of inventory items? [/quote]

Yes crafting is a big part of the game for many players.

I know you can have crafting stations in your house, but I have been away from the game for a few months and do not know of a summoned crafting station. Even with that, unless you are going to craft a specific item, you will still fill your inventory. When breaking down an item, example a weapon, you gain 2-5 new crafting items to add to your inventory.

I can summon a banker and a vendor. I forget if I acquired them using Crowns or maybe sign in bonuses. However, it still takes time to use them to manage inventory and if you actually want the crafting materials, your inventory fills up fast.

The whole point of my post was that inventory management is a pain when crafting materials fill your inventory. Most of the materials you get from barrels, crates, chest, and looting corpses are food items for crafting.

it takes no time for experienced players who know what these mats are. i can see new players getting confused tho.

Right. Which is why ESO chintzing players on crafting bag while exponentially exaggerating number of mats really makes the game more of a burden than fun without ESO+ subscription. I know, I played it a few years back and it just got so boring handling all the inventory. And I'm not willing to pay 180 Euros a year for a game Crafting Bag.

It really is corporate greed at its worst.

How about selling a LIFETIME crafting bag.

OR

Add a Season Pass or something. I don't see my self buying loot boxes and paying the subscription. I rather just get a Season Pass with the crafting material bag, log-in, do something and unlock stuff time to time.

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

I want to support the game. But not at that rate. I save coins in other games to purchase the Season Pass and get stuff. It works.

I agree on the lifetime crafting bag.
I would be willing to buy it to make the game reasonable. And I'd probably buy content and expansions from there. But I won't pay 180 a year for a bag sorry :(

They crippled the game by withholding the crafting bag due to their insatiable greed. The company is laughing all the way to the bank. If nobody subscribed to "Plus", maybe we would've had a chance for the crafting bag to be a one time purchase. But, thanks to the drooling gamers that can't hold out, we are stuck here.

i dont even notice it.

I don't understand the frustration. $15 is about the cost of lunch, and you only get the enjoyment of a single meal. $15 for a month to play the game for a month and not have inventory issues is an amazing deal. Truth is, if they did allow the bag to be purchased in the store, I would buy it and drop my sub, even if it was $50. I dont ever see that happening as the subs would dry out fast.

You could buy 3 AAA games for the price of ESO+ for one year. And you'd certainly get a lot more variety out of 3 games than out of one.

And sure you say 15 dollars but this payment model is subscription, in other words the health club model. Health clubs know that people forget about subscriptions so it's a way to take more money from them for something they don't use. This is why health clubs double and triple over-book sales relative to capacity.

Many people will end up wasting several hundred dollars before finally cancelling their subscription that they never use anymore. Corporations know this, hence the big trend in recent years to move everything to subscription model. Not generally good for people, but always good for corporate profits and stock share prices.

And if the content was restricted instead of janking the game play, you'd probably keep your subscription anyway. And considering who the head of Zenimax is, I don't think you have to worry about the billionaires making enough money!

adding the fact , even with eso+ sub , players need to buy last dlc xD
to be clear i'm not against sub on mmo , but the way Beteshda market their eso+ sub model

let the crafting beg behind a paywall its the same if they make PVP contents on eso+ , for example only 5 pvp match per week without eso+
