In The Elder Scrolls Online , there is a debate about two items for €13 each from the cash shop. Currently, they only count for one character, but players say they should be applicable for the entire account.
What items are we talking about? There are 2 upgrade items from the cash shop of the game:
- The Armory Slot unlocks an additional Armory Slot for a single hero
- The Outfit Slot unlocks an additional Outfit Slot for a character
Players wish for 2 comfort items to count account-wide
What change do they want? These two items should not only apply to one character but should be available account-wide, as stated on Reddit.
That the items do not count account-wide is “criminal”.
“Purchase is so hard to justify”
That is the discussion: The topic of these two items has been the biggest thread on Reddit in the past 30 days. The approval for the proposal is high.
Players say:
- They understand that Zenimax wants to make money, but damn – They only want to buy these items if they can use them for multiple characters
- “The funny thing is, if they actually made some of these changes, they could probably make more money because it’s much more practical”
- “Right now, this is just a purchase that most people can’t justify […] I really wonder if the few whales who actually buy such an item for every slot of each of their heroes are scaring off the parts of the players who are put off by the price tag.”
How much do the items cost? The items cost 1,500 crowns. That’s about €13.
Against the inner reason of MMORPG players
What’s behind it: The players’ desire is understandable. Such item slots are purely “comfort” improvements. They do not provide a real advantage, but only save the cumbersome manual switching of item sets, which can be annoying.
If one could at least buy such advantages account-wide, it would be easy to justify spending €13 because then one can say: I have this forever and on every twink.
However, if you buy several of these slots and then switch to the main character or play more twinks, the money would be “wasted,” which no MMORPG player can stand.
Such “counts only for one character” purchases go against the inner reason of MMORPG players.
