It only gets brought up again and again because people keep bringing up "ZOS should focus on X instead of Y" again and again. If that stops being mentioned, others won't feel the need to keep correcting it.I cant hear/read this argument anymore. Aren't people tired of bringing this up again and again?Marketing and the people doing this aren't the developers though. It's not like the people working on group finder bugs all stop and start working on marketing campaigns, then don't do any more group finder work until the event is over.In german we would say: "Einem geschenkten Gaul, schaut man nicht ins Maul." Meaning, you dont complain when you get something for free.
Still i really dont like this bonus event. It's quite obvious, it's for triggering people to buy crown crates and to buy ESO+. I wouldnt have a problem with that (i respect that there has to come money from somewhere), if ZOS wouldnt just focus on how to bring people to waste all their money into the crown store but would also focus on essential and basic stuff of the game, like bugfixing and support. Due to that i just feel like a milked cow - this bonus event wont help me over that feeling.
I tried to write it the most constructive way, I could. Actually I have way worse words in my mind.
Best wishes,
me.
I would imagine this entire thing used at most management, marketing, accounts, server team and community team.
Just because you loan someone money, or pay someone money for a product does not mean you get to decide how they spend that money. Or how they spend any future money for that matter. However, you can point out areas you think need work. Indirectly asking them to spend resources into something specific.It only gets brought up again and again because people keep bringing up "ZOS should focus on X instead of Y" again and again.

This argument is just bs, I am sry. Because I dont say the department of marketing should focus on better ingame performance. I just criticize ZOS general priorities.
You know, a friend of me owed me 400 €, do you think I said "Nice you have new hair" on her Facebook page, after she didnt pay me back even after 3 months? No I asked her, how she has money to pay a new haircut, when she hasn't money to pay me at least a part of itback. Same goes for ZOS. ZOS has money for makreting and for more people filling up the crown store (am i the only one to recognize how hard the amount of crown items and crown crate items increased since release of the CC?) with new items, but ZOS hasnt money for a proper support or for the people, working in the depth of the game or gamemasters. That's it.

(Just because a bank gives you a mortgage does not mean the bank gets to decide which house you have to buy and who gets to live there, or how you have to spend your future income so they can be sure you pay them back.)
PS: Edited in something major into my previous post.
Please can you confirm what happens after this event is over with regards to players who do not subscribe to ESO+.
Will items put in the crafting bags during this event remain in a crafting bag until they are removed, or will they be put back into the players bank space/mailed back to them?
Will items put into the double bank space remain in the bank until they are removed, or will they be mailed back to the player?
Will costumes that have been dyed retain their colours?

As I am in Europe I'm on CEST. As I read this, it means I'll have to log-in between 18.00 CEST and 06.00 CEST the following morning. Logging in during the day doesn't count towards a free crate, only logging in during the evening and night. Or is this some typo and does logging in during the full 24 hours of a day suffice?
The separation between 12:00AM and 11:59PM is a total of one minute. THat does not change regardless of timezone.
You would have to log on between 18.00CEST and 17.59CEST... I guess.

Just idle curiosity... I'm surprised that I'm presented with the free trial even though I'm an existing sub. So what would happen if current subscribers "buy" the free trial? Would it interfere with our sub in any way? Would it lengthen our sub by 5 days? Would it affect eligibility for the free crates? Or would absolutely nothing happen?

If you have an active ESO Plus membership and you attempt to buy the ESO Plus Free Trial from the Crown Store, you will get an error that says "Transaction Failed - You've already fully unlocked this item." It won't stack or otherwise work with an active ESO Plus membership.
My friends have already received the free crown crate, nothing for me till now.

I hate the am/pm crap when midnight is involved.
Regardless, obviously it will be 24 hour periods. They just want you to know the cutoff.
