BEWARE - Twitch Promotion £/€ Rip Off.

Coolio_Wolfus

As Twitch is currently only shows prices in $ that you will also get charged both a conversion fee and a higher price
on any DLC/Crown packs bought through Twitch alongside the ESO 'Free' Twitch Oroborus Crate Promotion.

Depending on the current exchange rates this can vary but it is around a £2 increase on a 750 crown pack compared to the ESO store
I would hate to see the increase on both DLC's and the 21000 crown pack prices although I suspect it would be nearly double the cost!

(FAO ESO Staff this has also been reported under: Ticket #180628-001777)

Twitch charges tax on eso plus as well. I was going to get it through twitch till I saw that. The crappy crates you get aren't worth the extra couple bucks.

One workaround is to get a UK PayPal Access MasterCard, add that card to Twitch's Amazon checkout, and then set your PayPal local currency to dollars when doing purchases in dollars. Then you should only be dealing with the current exchange rate.

That is state sales tax, not Twitch.

(map for sales tax on digital goods/services:)

If anyone isn't aware, the crown crates that you receive through twitch have abysmal drop rates. I have opened 5 and have gotten 4 potions/poisons in each one. They are not even worth watching streams for (unless you already are watching).

"Ouroboros Crown Crates contain a random selection of in-game consumables such as Crown Poisons, Mimic Stones, Riding Lessons, or Experience Scrolls. They also have an extremely rare chance to contain an exclusive Senche of Scarlet Regret mount or Senche Cub of Scarlet Regret pet.

Note that beyond the typical “Common" and “Fine" rewards found in regular Crown Crates and (on rare occasions) the above mount and pet, Ouroboros Crown Crates do not contain any other tiers of items."

Not really if you consider the price difference with the eso store. (Unless you are unlucky enough to have a certain PotUS.)

They have to keep the droprates low to prevent us console players complaining about an unfair advantage for pc players...

Or they could just activate drops for console players... I've heard that other games do that.

Good job buying overpriced potion crates.
