The saddest thing is to hear some say (especially at the same time that we open our boxes) that they had for example the statue of Sheogorath (my revered gods) and that others have only potions, dishes and baubles of this kind uninteresting in view of the cost of these boxes !!!

Not only is it sad to know that a person has what you want more than anything, but even more sad when he plans to sell it for gems ....

Could not we make sure that people have the opportunity to give this guild or friends?

    Well, two things. First you can't choose to liquidate a costume. Just consumables.

    So, if you get potions, or food, that can be turned into gems, but if you get a stupid looking hat, you're stuck with it.

    The second thing is, "no." And there's a fairly concrete reason for this. One of the more subtle ways to sneak around the, "we only offer cosmetic items in the store," is to sell items that can be traded between players. This means you're buying something that's cosmetic, but can then turn around and sell it to a farmer, so you can use the cash from the sale to get your hands on more direct improvements. This also leads to situations where studios can legitimately sell power, or outright paygate the game, and then say, "but, you could just grind for 23 years until you have the money to buy it legitimately."

    I understand your intent, but there's a solid reason why the crates work the way they do.

    I add a frustration more, the fact of having 2 or 3 times the same item in the same case ... bing bing zenimax !!!!

    One thing I would like to see is the ability to trade Crown items to friends or guild mates for either Gems or to Gift them as a magnanimous gesture.

    I would also like to see the ability to gift Crowns, Crates , Gems and game time to friends. If any community needed the ability to show random acts of kindness as a foil against the growing Toxicity its this community.

    a good other problem raise on your part, loot this kind of item non-tradable against gems, is very annoying, especially when one loot x numbers in a lot of boxes !!!!

    A tad bit off topic, but I do find it strange that you can't gift crowns.....Or can you?
