Subbed in June Not Knowing RNG Boxes Coming, Can I Get Full Refund??

✭✭✭✭
I subbed for 180 days in June. At that time if I had known RNG boxes were coming I would not only have not subscribed ESO+, but I would also have deleted and left the game for good. Now, to my surprise, they decided to add RNG boxes to the game despite the fact that they have promised they have no such plan. Therefore, for me personally, the game will soon become a product, on principle, totally different from the product that I have subscribed to. Can I get full refund for the 180 day subscription fee I have paid??

oxxalejandroxxo✭✭✭✭Can you walk into a restaurant and ask for a refund for the meal you ate there last Tuesday because you're worried you might not enjoy tonight's meal?
(For the record, I absolutely RNG boxes and will probably unsub as well, but this is just dumb.)
If I had bought a half year buffet pass somewhere near my workplace, and then discovered dead flies in their soup, of course I will ask for full refund! -

How many times would you say, in a given year, do you send a meal back? -

✭IT is a valid point, however, in almost ALL ToS it gives them freedom to change the game as they see fit with no recompense to the User who submitted (I'm sure you read that in the ToS
)
At there discretion they can offer a refund, but it is at their discretion and can cause a dangerous precedent if not done correctly that can leave them exposed legally.
I would suggest a very well worded, informative and structured email to Gina and see if anything can be done

✭No you cannot get a refund on ESO plus since it is working as intended. How you spend it entirely up to you.

✭What's wrong with the boxes? How will it affect your gameplay? Why does people spending their own money/crowns for boxes matter to you?
If anything it's supporting the game, can you actually be butthurt that someone bought a box and got a costume or some other cosmetic item? -

Don't purchase them. There is no reason to get all worked up. Unless someone has a gambling problem, this should not affect them. Just saying. -

This was 1 year ago, their business model can change, and most companies adapt to increase revenue.
If this is your only problem then I fear a bit of growing up may be involved. -

Do you know what a plan is?
Do you know the difference between an informal plan and a formal plan?
Do know which one she is referring to? -

It's still not p2w... but things do change. All your doing now is speculating and assuming.
There's no debate here, you can post year old posts all you want, still stands that the quoted text was stated a year ago. -

Oh it's about the meaning of the word "plan". We know there are always plenty of ways to break a promise by playing rhetoric games. The promise to never make the game P2W is also as vague as hell. I mean, what P2W is really??Edited by oxxalejandroxxo on August 23, 2016 2:40PM -

✭First of all that is not a promise. Second that was a year ago and things change and at that time it was true. Third Gina was an assistant manager and is now a manager. She has no say whatsoever in this decision. She was told it will happen. For me I could not care less it has no impact on my game play its cosmetic stuff and useless. I still have and use my one gold imperial horse on 11 toons. Btw this decision has nooooooooo impact on your game play. This game is fun for you and me but this is and always will be a business. Business's need money to survive and more money to grow. Grow up or leave which also as you might guess has nooooooo impact on my game play. When those boxes come they will fly out of the crown store why... For every cry baby there are a thousand ppl who want to gamble. Btw I was a manager for 11 years and director for 4 and I had very little say in what the higher ups wanted. I was there to deliver expectations and results and get my staff to swallow the bitter pill. Even when I was taking the first bite (in private).Sorcerna, proud beta sorc.

The Reddit post is from a year ago. A lot of change can happen in a year. And Gina may not be in the best position to know what zos is planning. Many companies compartmentalize information, revealing it only when they are ready. That post is likely based on what Gina knew at the time. If she could, she might say RNGboxes are a surprise to her as well.
As for a refund, doesn't seem likely. But the addition of RNGboxes will affect my decision on whether to ever renew my sub. If you can't get a refund, just get what enjoyment you can out of ESO for your remaining sub.PC/NA/DCBreton Sorcerer Maester.White - BB meets GoT >Master Crafter< { 9 Traits completed 4/23/15 }
