That's the fun of it though, the mounts will actually be "rare." I can't stand it when everyone has the same cool mount as soon as it gets released. When you see a Crown Crate mount you will know the guy either got really lucky or had to pay out the beejebus fot it lol

Plus I like the fact that they will switch up the crates for holidays and special events and put special items in them if you purchase one during those times. Just adds a whole new element to the game for people like me. I know some kids can't afford it but why punish us adults who want to spend a little money on a game? it is my main hobby after all. My father likes to bass fish and he bought a 25k bass boat and hundreds every year on fuel, baits, rods and reels, etc.
My Uncle likes to play golf so he bought a fancy golf cart, a custom made set of clubs and pays green fees and club dues throughout the year.

I love video games, so I bought a big TV, a PS4 and don't mind spending a little bit here and there to support my habit :P
There are many more like me out there, in fact I was kind of shocked to learn how many adults play this game vs others I've played.

My opinion is that if we are already paying a monthly sub we should get EVERYTHING included with our sub, and not be nickel and dimed to death with a crown store and Gambling boxes.
If you don't pay a sub and play for free, go ahead and support the game by trying to win some super rare whatever.
I will not be purchasing any Crown crates; I don't care how cool the pixels are.

This is a good video about gambling and such in video games. It is a bit long but if you have the patience then you should definitely watch it

Why are you entitled to everything just because you pay a monthly fee? For your fee they already give you a ton of benefits that other "Free" players do not get. As an example, you get a craft bag which in itself is worth the 15 bucks a month. In fact I've had so many folks tell me that they don't wanna cancel just because they would lose that one benefit. Then they give you an extra 10% experience which lasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with your subscription. On top of that, they still give you 1500 Crowns a month so I think for your monthly fee you are actually getting a pretty great deal! I mean if a free player buys 1500 crowns he doesn't get the bonus xp for 30 days nor the crafting bag. He also doesn't get access to EVERY DLC which is another huge benefit of the monthly subscriber.

So, it ain't so bad that they offer some other incentives to make some profit for the company. You can say that you don't care about the new mounts but 90% of the people do care about mounts. In fact people are so vain about their games that they will pay absurd prices for a new dress, outfit, mask, etc. from the Crown store or just to make their toon look "cool." Mounts and pets are part of that mindset as most players want to look cool just standing around in the city waiting to run a dungeon or trial.

Go in game to a major city and stand near the traders and count the number of Crown pets and Mounts that come and go. Do this for 10 minutes and you will see the impact and the popularity of these items. If the majority of people didn't want them, there wouldn't even be a Crown Shop. The fact that there are so many running around tells me that people love these items. I for one, love to see new stuff added from time to time. As a person who at this point has done pretty much everything in the game, it is exciting to look forward to these little extras.

I agree people like the items on the store. People like to buy them.

Shouldn't they be able to do so without being ripped off? It is designed to keep fools spending absurd amounts of money. Also, how are they going to decide to rip us off when they need to pay for their new Bentley?

I am super hyped for the crates also. Just to watch all the crying babies complain. So funny to watch all the people get on their moral high horse.

The world will not end, eso will still be here after the crates.

I guess you never finished school, or if you did you failed reading comprehension. I clearly stated "MY OPINION". If you want to spend $200 a month hoping to get a pixel item, then by all means please do so.
I pay a monthly sub to get all the content this game has to offer. Exactly as I have done in other games. If my monthly sub isn't good enough for ZoS, then TFB. I will not spend my hard earned money gambling to get an item. I don't spend my money on lotto tickets, and I sure as hell won't spend it trying to win.... a pixel.

I remember when devs would release a quest on older games that took you like 3 months to complete, and that's how you got an item that you could show off or some bragging rights. Now it's all about the rhino mounts and them soccer mom dollars. Im gonna go drink and watch baseball now, at least that's still kind of pure.

Yep. Either they got lucky, or they paid craploads of money for it.

I won't think, "Man, that is so cool.", or 'Wow, what a fantastic mount.". All I'll be thinking is "Oh man were they stupid." And then move on and not look twice.

Dammit, people will look at me using the retired cosmetics I own like the High-Collared Coin Ball Gown or the Palomino Horse and think I'm stupid

Nah, you can always tell someone you got them before they went away. There is a difference between the players who use items, and the HEY LOOK AT ME!!!!!!! people. I have the feeling that most of the happy for crown crate people are the ones who want to be the center of attention. It isn't enough to ride a black panther, clouded leopard, leopard leopard, lion or lioness, they have to have the "rocks and lightning stuck together with magic" atronach mounts....

So people are stupid for paying money for something? Are you serious? I think maybe you just don't have any extra money in life. Not judging, just that I work hard every day to make money to "buy" things that make "me" happy!! If a Coca-cola and a Twix bar on the way home from work makes me happy, then I'm gonna pick one up. Is it a waste of money?? I'm sure it is, I won't die without it but it makes me happy.

If I go to the dealership and buy a new car should I get the regular Toyota Camry cause that is what everyone else drives? I mean it's the easy one to get and everyone can afford the $299 a month right? What if I want the Corvette, should it be off limits? I mean if you want a normal white horse and you wanna save your pennies, then by all means ride that horsey until the sun goes down! I on the other hand like my life to be filled with flashier or more unique things.

Your also saying that people who buy Lottery tickets are idiots and wasting their money as well? Isn't the Lotto supposed to be fun, kind of like the new Crates? No one seriously plays the lotto to win, it's just a fun dream of hoping to win something if you get lucky.

I'm really sorry if you live at home with Mom and Pop and can't buy the cool stuff yet but if you did like me and my brother when we were young then maybe you can buy some Crowns. Get out and rake some leaves or shovel snow for some Crown money! Get a part time job at one of those fast food places like Dairy Queen or something. I do love the guy that serves me my Blizzard every Saturday

If I may say so, I'd be too embarrassed to ride around on a mount from a Crown Crate. People would know I'm a moron

Waffennacht

I just really wanna be that person that buys one crate and gets the mount...

Most accurate statement. I'd be happy I got the mount but don't want to look like a rich snob riding it

Oh how shallow humanity has become

I like the assumption that people aren't willing to spend money because hey lack the funds to do so. Defiantly couldn't be an individual's personal evaluation of perceived value. Keep it classy.
