You can pay to save time, LOTS of time. So it’s more like Pay-4-(Much) Convenience (P4C)

For example, to fully train a mount (for EACH character – and the game allows up to 8 characters for free), it takes approximately 180 days as each training can only be done once every 20 hours. If you pay, you can get all the upgrades instantly! It gets expensive when you have to repeat it for all characters you own. But the option is there.

If you spotted an error, please let me know in the comments.

1. You can purchase Soul Gems much more cheaply at Guild Stores rather than at merchants
2. There is no central auction house in Elder Scrolls Online. Instead you sell via guild traders/kiosks located in all zones. Guilds compete to blind bid on the trader every Sunday. High traffic zones such as Elden Root, Mournhold and Deshaan have many guilds competing for them every week – bids can go up to millions of gold. This is why most guilds will have a minimum selling requirement every week for its members
   1. UPDATE: There’s now a unofficial PC add-on called Nirn Auction House that provides a central auction house!
3. You cannot drop items into the ground from your inventory unless it is a requirement for a quest. You can place sieges in Cyrodiil areas (and they will slowly deteriorate if left unused) and some abilities such as Trap Beast allow you to place something on the ground for up to 60 seconds
4. You cannot place items in containers/dead bodies in the world. But you can selectively loot only items you want.
