"Dwarven crate". Beautiful advertising, inside nonsense.

It's good that I had little money. More precisely, I had 400 Crowns left on my game account, after I purchased the DLC. I decided to buy something for a good mood.
  I bought the item "Dwarven crate" for 400 Crowns.
I open it, some kind of kajit appears on the screen, and starts to lay out some cards for me. Reminiscent of a slot machine, one-shot bandit. You throw money, it's spinning... Oops! Failure. Give me more money.
And it happened. Well, I decided that it was so necessary, I took cards , there was garbage.

I did not need the bottles of healing potions, I gave them to the Khajiit, he gave me two purple stones for them. There are still 98 stones left, and I will have the ghost of a panther instead of a horse. Bravo!

...You must make normal traditional game settings, not need mucks and provocations. Accessories from these "Dwarven crates" should fall out in accordance with the race and the character's profession in the game. Otherwise, this is rubbish, which undermines respect for your game.
In the meantime, I'm not going to buy anything from the Store at all. Because my mood to shop - was gone.

The house always wins, unfortunately for the consumer. It is a real shame that these art assets are locked behind chance as some are truly amazing, although many are out of place.

It's a game. You gambled. You lost. I didn't need those either as a woman; gender has nth to do with your problem.

No, this is not a game. This is the Zenimax store, where You pay real money from Your bank card.
  I do not play cards at all, with street swindlers, in real life.
  If I pay real money, I need to get a normal product.

lol. The boxes are a gamble. If you want a normal product, then buy it.

ll the info on the 'rewards' is available and you bought it anyway.

No one NEEDS a rose hat. No one NEEDS anything from crown store.

Then don't gamble on crown crates.

I think, there may have been the odd post about Crown Crates before. I'm not certain tho.

Turelus

Surely you understood the premise of what the crates were before you got one?

It's a blind bag of items stacked in the favour of the seller, you can be mad but you probably should have known this.

Definitely a case of wanting cheese with that whine....

The problem is that lots of stuff is crate only and the price of getting one costume or hair you want is idiotic high.

The crate rewards are filled with fluff and the point is to make you feel rewarded and purchase more crates at the same time because you did not get what you wanted.

Basically don't expect anything, you have to be willing to "gamble" those crowns away.

Edit: Nothing is character bound btw, it's all for your account basically.

Yes, I do not worry! It's all nonsense, this whole game! I'm just disgusted with rogues and scammers on the Internet.
Can I somehow get rid of this knitted blue sports cap in my inventory?
In my country, only sex-minority dresses like that.
I understand that it will be fun to walk in such a hat in the game, but this is a bad evil cynical fun. Something like the trolling.

The only items you are guaranteed to get from a crown crate/rngesus box are consumables. If you got potions, food, or poisons, then you got what you were promised. The chance of getting one of the apex or legendary rewards is there, just a chance however.

No, afaik there is no way to get rid of items that you don't want and will never use.

If there is a mount, or costume, or hat, or whatever that I want on the normal crown store, I will buy it outright. If I think the mount, or costume, or hat or whatever looks silly, or I don't like whatever it is, then I don't buy it outright.

There is no reason on earth or Nirn for me to buy the rngesus boxes that have random items that I don't like and wouldn't buy that will end up in my collection. And although people might not *want* the stuff in their collection, getting rid of it somehow would simply allow the item to show up again and be instantly bound to your account. You can't trade in duplicates if you don't have the items in the first place.

You don't have to use the items you get from either the rngesus boxes or buy outright from the crown store. The hat can stay in your collection out of sight forever, if you don't want to use it.
