Huge crowns price hike?

Also note the 14000 and 21000 packs are new additions, the original cap per purchase was the 5500 pack
The bulk saving is minimal...
14000 = 5500x2+3000 so the 14000 is only £3.98 GBP cheaper.
As for the 21000, it's 1000 short of the 22000 (5500x4) and is cheaper than 5500x4 by £9.97
But that makes the missing 1000 worth £9.97 but the 1500 pack now costs £10.99
500 difference (£1.02) but 750 for £5.99 then doesn't compute.

IMHO they should have added a 22000 (5500x4) pack instead of the 21000 making the choice easier.

I have a thought on the crates too, to improve ESO RNG for the current crown prices I'd drop the common tier and most of the fine one and reshuffle the remaining tiers
The crate only Apex for 800's the current Apex tier as Legendary 400's the motifs going for 200 their own tier and shuffle the rest down, 100's 40's 16's and the 16's tier can have the remaining crate only consumables, the ones you can't buy directly in the crown store.

• 800 Apex - Old Crate Locked Apex
• 400 Legendary - Old Apex Mounts
• 200 Epic - Old Legendary Motifs
• 100 Superior - Old Legendary
• 40 Fine - Old Epic
• 16/5 Common - Old Superior (Etc.)

This would be a huge improvement reducing the amount of garbage to be recycled, whilst retaining the gem cost/collection ratio.

I think the best way to look at it is by calculating crowns per dollar. The two new larger packs offer little extra savings but are much more convenient for larger crown purchases. Also, I suspect they chose 14000 and 21000 packs because in US dollars they sell for $99.99 and $149.99 respectively.

I do like your idea for the gems but I doubt ZOS will do it.
