Crown box, swindle ! let's react !!!

Khatou

I come here to yell at this damn loot box system that is clearly stealing the odds are getting lower.

I bought a set of 15 boxes and I did not even get the right to the fifth cards I am outraged by this infamous system that TESO frankly does not need, given its commercial technique, purchase of the game, purchase of extension and subscription, it is really outrageous to take us for pigeons of this kind, there has been controversy on Star Wars Battleront 2 and Overwatch it would be time to attack all the video games exploiting this infamous system and without a state of mind!

So, you're going to tell me that I don't need to buy and that there's enough frames in the game, except that I really liked this one, but unfortunately it's impossible to have one other than in these misfortune boxes!

Simple answer. Don't gamble if you don't want to lose.

So you're saying that you really wanted something that is contained in a loot box. You then bought 15 of them hoping to get it. Um... yeah... ZOS won't be stopping this any time soon if people keep doing that.

Breaking News!

The RNG in RNG boxes is is random!

More at 11!

Thank EA's director of the Cartel Market for the Crown store

Slick_007

knows what crown crates are and buys them: check
gets outraged because he didnt get what he wanted, even though he got what he paid for: check
compares ESO crown crates to battlefront crates: check

did i miss anything?

nothing to see here people, move along. Dont feed the trolls.

Beardimus

Seriously these threads are getting boring now. No offence OP, it's just I get it. People want shiny and get upset when they dont get it and hate on this type of marketing strategy.

When its illegal they will stop, am sure. Right now its not. It's profitable..and ZOS are gunna continue. That's that..

Right to your MP / King / President. Make a petition. Maybe that will work.

I bought 15 crates for 1.5m gold in an auction, got that lighting frostbane horse mount, but you know when I pay real money I never get anything that cool /:

idk

If you do not like it do not buy them. They keep selling them because people buy them.

Unfadingsilence

I got a set of 4 crates and got a wonderful rare blue lighting horse, it's beautiful thank you ZOS

Aeslief

The fact that you bought 15 boxes knowing there was a good chance you would not get anything you wanted is why crown crates exist and will continue to exist unless they become illegal. Thanks for supporting the game and ensuring the crown crate scam continues.

Khatou

this system should be a way to get something faster and not a way to use CB for something you're not even sure you get!!!!

Knows what crown crates are
Assumes that they are only going to contain the crap items that should not even exist & therefore I get my 3 or 4 free ones per season and no more

Also assumes that anyone who cannot control the impulse to gamble needs to seek help (and cannot say what I want to happen to those that prey on these people)

Right. This is why we have loot boxes in games. They exploit some basic traits related to gambling and winning that are shared by a good number of people.

How can you buy crates for in-game currency?

There's a gifting system now

Ah get it now. Thank you

As much as I dislike the Crown Crates for the fact that ZOS tried to put Pyando stuff behind them and lock a motif behind a time-sensitive gamble thing...you really can't be mad for buying gamble crates and not getting what you want. That's like buying fifteen lottery tickets and complaining when none of them are a jackpot.

15 crates is a splash in the pond if you’re whaling for something with these or any gatcha boxes. Go open 150 and get back to me. Treat these as if you have absolutely nothing you need from them and you’ll be much happier. I know that I’ll be selling the crates that I usually would’ve bought for myself this season and I’ll be much happier sitting on millions and millions of gold than I’d ever been at the end of a crate season

has a value of 35€ I think it deserves at least 1 mount!

I stopped buying them altogether when they brought out the apex mounts that you can't buy with crown gems. Up until the I bought at least 15/20 boxes each season. Now I have 834 crown gems & nothing worthwhile to spend them on. You're killing the whale Zos

That’s the whole problem... you don’t deserve anything because you didn’t buy anything. It could’ve been 300€ and you still only bought a chance at something you wanted.

If you want a 35€ mount, then buy a 35€ mount. I wouldn't buy 35€ in Crown Crates and expect to get a mount. I would expect to get 35€ worth of poisons, potions, food, and drink.

I don't whine about crate luck, idgaf, but you're kinda overlooking the fact that you can't just buy the really rare mounts in the crates

Oh, in some odd way I'd find that rather OK-ish. However, for $35 I would expect to get £5 worth of Poisons, Food and Drinks.

Um, maybe I'm missing something, but you can still use those gems to buy anything (other than radiant apex mounts) that are available in each season of the boxes. Which includes lots of ugly, ugly mounts. So there's still lots to buy, unless your judgement of 'worthwhile' is 'the rarest items only.'

I assure you that I am not overlooking that. My stance is that everything that you can get in a Crown Crate should be available for purchase directly.

PAWS.

Don't gamble, don't buy. Simple.

15 crates with no 5th card is unfortunate. However, here is some real broken RNG for you. I opened 135 scale caller crates without getting a SINGLE MOUNT OF ANY RARITY. No radiant apex, no apex, no 100 gem mounts. Not a single one from $360 worth of crates.

This just in: it's a scam.
