PSA: How to remove crown crates from YOUR game

Yolokin_Swagonborn

Tired of waiting for ZOS to grow a conscience when even EA is beating them to the punch?
Tired of waiting for lawmakers to start regulating video game gambling like regular gambling?

Don't make another thread about it, instead, take action into your own hands if you really don't like crown crates. Remove them yourself!

Steps.

1. Download the No, Thank you Addon from ESOUI.

2. Check "Disable crown crates" in the settings.



3. Enjoy the game.

That's it.

Ban this cute furry little scumbag from your game entirely. Unless he wants to send you crafting materials in the mail. Then he's cool.

Lol. He’s just misunderstood. He gives me free crates a few times a year then seems to go on his merry way without needing any special settings.

I don't think he really wants to scam people out of their money but he must have a lot of debts to pay off and got involved with some really bad people. His other business ventures must be failing.

I kept accidentally clicking the button for crown crates instead of crown store. You can disable the key in settings too but this way works the best.

Besides, the no thank you addon also can let you ignore raid score notifications, guild invite spam, those annoying marketing ads from the crown store, its a really good addon to have.


I was just tired of seeing 500 posts about deleting the crown store without really any suggestions on how do do it.

Good luck removing my apex mounts from your game.

I wish we were getting more actual content instead of clown crates, but they found their $cheme and they're not changing it as long as they can get away with providing minimal, buggy content.

DRAGON_KILLER_HUNTER

if you dont like them, just dont buy them.

some people like crown crates and it supports the game you are playing so why not?

Yeah, I think he must have gotten on the wrong side of the Hla Vegas mob.

@Yolokin_Swagonborn Serious question here. Have I ever told you that you’re 1 of my favorite posters on these forums? I’m talking in the Top 3. Brilliant thread here, comrade. Easy +1 to you.

Darkstorne

Now we just a mod that turns all the fire-wreathed, rainbow-farting, sparkle-glamour mounts into regular horses. Until then, Crates definitely aren't removed from my game =/

EA’s system was pay to win.

I would rather ZOS milk whales for radiant mounts then ever head FTP/pay-to-win like almost every other MMO on the market.

Oh hahaha I see how you changed it from Crown to Clown so CLEVER never saw that before...

Separate teams by the way. Crates don't affect other content from being released.

Then good for them, what does this have to do with what this topic is about?

I don't even understand why people are commenting "then don't buy them" when he obviously isn't buying them and removing even notifications that the crown store exists in the game.

Don't make another thread about it

People farm forum points from safe, tested topics. Complaining about game monetization is one such tested topic.

Because being slightly inconvenienced by completely optional features in a completely optional game on a completely optional chunk of cheaply manufactured metal and plastic is all you need to scrounge up an angry mob on the Internet.

So threads in the past. Threads in the present. Threads in the far future where people can be all oh my god you were so right crown crates killed the elder scrolls.

Doesn't matter much. Complaining about this game is still talking about this game...

Heres my how to:

How to remove posters from your feed that continually spout the same old diatribe and forget that people have a right to choose how and what to spend their money on.

Block/ignore them, job done!

That was sort of the point of this post. If you don't like them, you can never see them again if you disable them via addon.

Over the long term, I think that video game based gambling is going to ruin both the quality and integrity of video games and lead to us getting a lot less content, but that's a discussion for another time.

Thanks for the appreciation. I enjoy your posts as well. I don't post as much anymore. This game desperately needs new leadership and a better way of communicating with its playerbase. Until that happens, we are either preaching to the choir, or beating a dead horse, depending on who you ask.

Yeah the point of this thread is to solve your own problems. Don't like crates, well now you dont even have to look at them. I have about 5 free ones now, and I haven't even opened them yet. Maybe I'll get some Mega awesome super edgy mount that looks like particle effects vomit or maybe just some potions. I don't care. My original horse I bought for 20k gold will suffice. To each their own.

That being said, I am against gambling in video games until it is regulated like all the casinos. Where they are required by the Nevada Gaming Commission to post the odds of winning, and give some of the profits to gambling addition rehab centers. Until we get that, gambling in video games will decrease the quality of our content. Why would a video game company make content when they can make more from gambling? So over time is bad for the game, but for now, as long as they stay cosmetic and arent P2W, I'll disable, encourage others to disable, and move on.

It isn't scam lol. You get extacly what is written.

Really? So tell me then, what are the drop rates for the top items? Give me historical data of how many crates have been opened and contrast that with type of prizes awarded.

That's what I would expect in Vegas, I should get that here too.

The irony is, if crates were taken out of the game today, ESO would be dead within a year probably. Odd, that.

I've been using this add-on for a long time. Does not work as this thread advertises.

Drachenfier

I think I'm going to go buy some tonight for the first time ever.

Separate teams by the way. Crates don't affect other content from being released.

Except, they do. When most of the funding is being put toward the cosmetics and fluff, less attention gets paid to QA, content development, balancing efforts, bug fixes, etc. Things that make the game better but require putting money into it regularly.

Just look at the most recent patch. Half of the issues reported and commented on during the PTS pass of Dragon Bones got completely overlooked. That storage bug where it deleted all your bound items if you deleted a character? That was reported a full week prior to release, and it still went to live.

There are year old bugs that still haven't been fixed.

The severs deteriorate further every week.
Cyrodiil is nearly unplayable.

"Balancing" almost always means "decreasing damage" and "increasing monotony of combat".

When was the last time the community was collectively looking forward to a content update? I have hope for Summerset, since we're finally getting jewelry crafting, but try to name one before that.

Now look at the excitement for new crown crates, primarily a recycling of assets already in the game, but with a little variation in textures and particle effects. The target audience is changing, and you'd be a fool not to see it.
