Request for crown crate rewards

When crown crates cycle to the next season, perhaps offer the contents for direct sale? This helps on multiple levels:

1) You have a resurgence for the same items already available and produced, since those abstaining from crates (like myself) would definately buy them.

2) Reduces the requirement to gamble for THE chance of an item. You still have A chance, just much later and after everyone already has one (which keeps meaning to crates)

3) Would help collectors by giving them a CHOICE to wait or gamble.

4) At least to me, would diffuse a lot of guff to forseeably throw at crates within the community.

5) Maintain a standard of "Everything is for direct sale eventually, but keeping up with the Jones' will cost you extra."

6) Possibly the biggest deal, you make money from out of season sales and gain some of the community's respect. Some argue regain, I'd say this would utterly diffuse the outcry over crown crates anyhow.


And on the subject, the statement regarding the release of a crown store exclusive motif (Grim Harlequin) also mentioned it was crown store exclusive for now. Maybe crown crate items are not the only things to revisit in terms of method obtained... :)

    Agree so hard! 100%

    There are a lot of things in the crates that I would gladly buy for direct purchase. Please, at least consider this.
    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.

    I really like this idea!

    There are things in the crates I'd definitely buy if I could, but I won't ever gamble for them.

    I think this is probably the best solution to blunt the crown crate negativity. Even if ZOS would commit to just the non-themed items becoming available in the crown store at a later date I think it would earn them a lot of good will.

    Agreed, the promise that as long as you're patient you can get around the RNG of the crates is a huge plus, and it would take a great deal of concern out of the community.

    Exactly my thoughts. I would gladly pay 2500 crowns right now for the atro horse. And I don't mind waiting 3-4 months. Let the ones willing to brave RNG get it first, I'll know the exact price I pay for it and that matters more to me.

    C'mon folks - get real. They'll never do that.

    People buy the crates specifically to get the items; it's not like the apex mounts are just a bonus for the willingness to gamble your money away on tats and hats.

    "I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.

    I was under the impression that the crates held items that were brand new and only available there. Then again, there are several "limited time" items that are now in the crown crates, so re-adding old stuff is definately a strategy they'd consider.

    But it IS just a hope, at the end of the day I suppose.

    Well....


    I'm not holding my breath
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
