Another "Haven't received my crowns for the last two months" thread

ATT: ZOS

I have placed two support tickets and received nothing but generic auto responses, here is the latest:

"Question Reference # 150915-000508

Marked as solved, but far from it.

Hello,

For the past two months ESO plus membership has been deducted from my account yet I am still to receive the crowns. I submitted a ticket through the game UI and received a generic "restart this, logout that" message. As I said in that message it has been 2 months+ since receiving crowns other than those that I have purchased separately.

I read in the support forums that you require proof of purchase,

https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30529/kw/missing crowns

That's fine except the information on the support page is outdated.It is no longer possible to follow this procedure to acquire the information due to changes made with Microsoft billing. I can gather the requested information from multiple sources but it would prove nothing as it would be fragmented.

Please advise what I can do so that I can receive what I have paid for.

Thank you."

Could I please have a response from a real person, as it is futile submitting support tickets if I am to get the same generic response all of the time.

Thanks.

So I assume SOP (Standard operating procedure) for dealing with customers is to ignore them and hopefully they will go away?

So apparently ESO plus membership isn't a ZOS issue:

"If you encounter an error on the Xbox One that does not directly relate to ESOTU, please check the Xbox Support Error & Status Code Search website. You will need to visit the Xbox Support website to contact the Microsoft team for any questions related to the following:
ESO Plus subscription
Buying Crowns
Xbox Live Gold membership & Xbox Live account
Downloading and installing the game"

Please explain how my ESO plus buffs are still active yet I haven't received crowns if this is a Microsoft issue?

All I want is an answer from ZOS! (non automated)

Your not the only one bro, im having same issue except just this month. I contacted microsoft and they have told me its out of their hands its up to ZOS, but zos doesnt resolves the issues. I have opened 4 different tickets and 3 have been closed and marked as solved, 1 has be supposedly reported to their higher ups and i still have not been granted my 1500 crowns, im on the verge of contacting the BBB to further investigate this issue on my behalf and the rest of us paying $ for eso plus to recieve everything we're paying to get!

Same here, multiple tickets marked as resolved, although the last one I sent hasn't bounced back yet, but I have no doubt that when I receive a reply it will be generic as f@#k. Good luck with your ticket, let us know how it turns out.

Okay, so I finally heard back from ESO support, I was asked for proof of purchase which I sent. Two days later I receive another message telling me that the 3000 crowns that were owed have been granted. I can't confirm yet as I am at work.

If I have been given a happy ending my advice to those that have the same issue (or any issue), be persistent but polite, you may be dealing with a computer to begin with but you will eventually deal with a real person. Be sure to give support as much information as humanly possible, this stems them for asking for different things all the time and speeds up the whole process. As with all businesses there is a dispute process and these take time, the failing on ZOS's side was poor communication. But in the end it appears to have been resolved.

Here is the complete ticket for reference:

The last ticket seems to have stuck, although it would be nice for someone to let me know what is going on with it.

Thanks.

So, this still hasn't been resolved, it appears to be a battle between me and auto-response.pc.

I figure I will keep submitting these tickets until I get a real person.

Also, here is a link to the thread I have started regarding my issue. I will be sure to update it every other day with progression status.
