Maybe if more countries did this, they'd have to release the cosmetics for an actual specific price rather than buy and pray. Or buy and buy until you have enough gems.

If more countries did this, the crown crate system would have to be replaced. But I doubt that's going to happen, at least not while ESO exists. So far, that I know of, we got Belgium and Brazil banning, no more than a minor nuisance to the profitmongers.

This is my thought too. That ZOS/Microsoft looked at the profits from sales of Crown Crates in these countries and determined it was less expensive to lose future sales from those countries than the cost of trying to implement a complex and legally risky verification system.
