B2P Impression

You know, as much as people disliked this game when it was P2P (including I), the B2P version of it from what I've played so far isn't bad at all. The whole ESO Plus thing actually feels COMPLETELY optional.
I've checked the crown store and the most that you can buy is mounts and the actual Imperial edition and Adventurer's Edition things that were offered before.
Insofar, this is in-game store done right and I have no gripes with it, they haven't hidden anything behind a paygate. They don't have a "Sword Of Undying Gratitude From Us For Spending The Most On The Cash Shop", so far it's all pretty innocent.
There are no character slot limitations, you still get the 8 you had before.
Zenimax Online has...actually done a pretty good job converting this game.

the issue at hand is the cash shop will expand pretty rapidly with what they offer now especially being almost all account bound. the pets and mounts will be the highlight of what everyone purchases but with 1500 crowns a month received most players will have collected just about everything in the cash shop they want in less than 6 months forcing them to add more items since all your characters keep the mounts and pets. Hell I got my nightmare last night without spending a dime since I been subbed basically since release and thats really the only mount I wanted. The 10% bonus to experience inspiration and champion point grinds isnt going to keep many people interested in the long term without a DLC coming anytime soon because of console release. I know for me there is zero point in staying subbed because there is zero interest in anything the cash shop offers anymore since I got the one mount I wanted anyways. I think people are going to feel there 15 bucks is going to nothing very soon.
Also the end game is ESO problem the vet grind and now champion point grind to compete in pvp is what pisses people off the most to quit. Now its worse with the champion point grind unless you actually do the story quests and VR zones to earn 100 champion points along the way but that can take the average player a month at least to get from vr1 to vr14 and much much longer for casual players.
Agreed was pleasantly surprised that nothing really changed as far as available options goes, even the dye system is in place as was.
