A father who stole his children's college fund to support his rng boxes gambling compulsion.
These are all real stories.A lady who, when the company whose game she played bought her a plane ticket to come to a convention to meet the team that built it couldn't go because she couldn't afford the train ticket to the airport. As she had spent literally every cent she had on the rng boxes.

If it's only retired crown store items with a mix of random consumables (like XP scrolls, mimic stones, crown pots, and crown food)... okay. I can live with that.

if they introduce a mount box, a costume box, a pet box & an accessory box (each box priced around what those items usually cost) thats fine, imho
but assuming mystery boxes will be about 2,500 (typical price of a mount) for a box in the hope of getting the ice horse lands me with a 200 crown hat that i could of bought, didnt buy cause i didnt like it & have no regrets about missing out on will be disheartening to say the least!
Crown Store: There will be "purely cosmetic" Loot Crates for about 400 crowns each. The chance to get items from the crates is based on how expensive/rare the items were/are. So lower chance for rare items and a chance you'll only get crap.
All items that can be in there were or will be in the crown store before they get into the boxes. No exclusive items in there.
Items (potions/upgrades/xp scrolls etc.)
Costumes/Personalities (Current ones/new ones and old limited time ones)
Mounts and Pets (new ones that are currently in the store and old limited time ones even the ones that never have been in the crown store on console, they can also have mounts/pets from digital collectors editons. Excluded: Imperial Edition and eso sub reward mount/costume)

That's not, accurate, though.
They're adding a special "tier" of mounts that will be unique to the gamble bags.

@jedtb16_ESO
I think you're missing the issue.
Regardless of whether you want to buy or not there will be exclusive brand new items that can only be obtained via buying a special loot crate.

and as i said i'm fine with that.... since the likelihood of it being anything that would give material advantage in game is remote it really doesn't matter. if people want to spend their money chasing cosmetic items let them.
