    After 60 crates i got my green senche the main one i wanted in this season. Ya 60 crates is a lot of money in a way but man does it payoff at times.
    ...

    What is the payoff in this instance?

    Was actually hoping to see it in game. The pictures do not really give you an idea of how it looks in game. I thank you for the attempt though.

    Having a beautiful mount that i get to see every time i mount is the payoff. Sometimes to play good you gotta feel good. Too feel good you gotta look good. To look good you gotta open a few crates here and there ;)

    After 60 crates i got my green senche the main one i wanted in this season. Ya 60 crates is a lot of money in a way but man does it payoff at times.

    I now have a radiant apex mount from every crate season :)

    Its sad that some players spend 500$ and still dont get a radiant apex. I was on my mount and someone came up to me and said “you lucky sob” he then said he spend 450$ first day on crates and only got psijic mount.

    I think if a player spends over 400$ on a season they should be allowed a radiant apex mount. I know it sounds crazy but think about this.

    I spend about 200$ every season on crates. By the time i open all my crates i have EVERYTHING i needed in there. I mean literally everything i want i get with either gems or through the crate.

    So after that 200$ EVERYTHING I receive after is 100% useless. Nobody buys crates to get soul gems crown food or mimic stones. Nobody in their right mind would buy a 5500 crown pack to just get soul gems crown foods and poisons...( which all under perform compared to guild trader consumables )

    So in reality any crates we buy after that point is a 100% waste unless you get a radiant apex mount.

    So imagine being a player 300$ into crates already and you haven’t gotten your mount. You buy another 30 crates at 70$. You open em and get nothing but same stuff you didnt need..

    Its kinda sad i know its a personal choice to buy crown crates but its still a shady tactic imo to the community who does nothing but love and support the game.

    I think they should calculate if u spend over 250$ in crown crates you deserve to pick what apex mount you want. I would say players should boycott micro transactions but that time has come and gone a long time ago.

    Anyways if you open your crown crates in cyrodil or public dungeon it might be good luck i gotten mine from there ever since i got my first apex mount i go there everytime to open crates lol.

    Good luck everyone

    Thats exactly the issue right here.

    Even as an owner of one radiant apex mounts I am against radiant apex mounts and anything thats not obtainable by direct purchase.

    yes i do know that. I still feel like the preview screen in game is not an accurate representation. One example would be the aura it gives off when you make it roar as well as the particle trail it leaves when running. Also does it leave behind green footprints? These are thing that you cannot determine via the preview screen.

    Unable to relate, do not find the psijic skins particularly attractive on the mounts
    but suppose congratulations are in order just the same, so long as you are satisfied with the outcome
    personally looking forward to new outfits this month on similar basis, and am thankful ZOS has not yet stooped to stat-modifying cosmetics as radiant prizes

    I'm not here to tell you what you do with your money but dang. People purchasing in mad bulk like this is why all the new content ends up on the loot roulette with terrible returns for investment.

    Hey remember when you'd just pay $15-25 for a guaranteed mount? Instead of paying $200 and not getting one at all, locked being an added arbitrary tertiary currency? I spent much more in those days, felt respectful and wanted to support ZOS. But the crates value return is awful. Dang crates trying to get people to burn $50+ on mementos and crown poison.

    It's amusing reading some of these negative comments... how many of you have spent $$ going out on weekends, partying, movies, etc... and what have you to show for it?!? Yet, paying $200 or more for something that gives you enjoyment for hundreds if not thousands of hours... there IS value to that for some of us.

    Gratz to you. I spent nearly $300 taking the family to Universal Studios Osaka yesterday. We all spend our excess money on something that makes us feel good. However I do think they should make ALL crown crate items purchasable with gems.

    I spend over $200 on ESO a year with my sub and occasional crown purchases. I was just remarking on what they considered an "Apex" mount. It's a senche with the same translucent glow as the free horse they gave away only in green instead of red. I don't consider that a negative remark.

    "He spent $450 on the first day? Sounds like he'd be willing to dish out even more money!" Is the entire line of thinking when it comes to Gamble Boxes, if he got what wanted then he wouldn't be buying more.

    At least with the first two seasons you would eventually get enough gems to purchase what you want, making it exclusively a miniscule chance means they can drain more money out of people.

    I find it weird there is a safety system with crown gems, then Zos decided to put these ultra rare radiant apex mounts in and that crap all over that. They could make those mounts available for a 800 gems or something.
