Just checking in to see if that exploitative crap has been removed from this game yet or not. If it has I'm back in, if not... moving on, nothing to see here.
For the King!

    LOL, they have not removed Crown Crates. You'll be waiting a long time.

    No, but they hand free ones out like candy. Many of us have gone through hundreds of gems, without spending a crown.

    Ignoring a game just because of optional junk like crown crates seems really silly.

    (but I'm sure, even if you got past that, you'd probably moan about it having daily login rewards now.)

    'Loot' boxes? Hah, no, Crates still exist.
    Drops aren't working right, but they give out free crates every once in awhile, for dailies.
    if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

    Yes still here but I think it's a fair balance with free ones each month.

    Well, only two free this month. Eh, it's the ESO+ trial, I get it. Annoying though.

    Well, some folks have some serious issues with the whole "gambling" thing I guess.

    Game devs do love the RNG boxes; so much so that it's become meta for the industry.

    However, some folks should just play the dang game if they claim to "really enjoy" it.
    You can do that without taking part in the "evil" "gambling."

    If you really missed ESO, you wouldnt have such a weak excuse for not playing. Oh btw because your not playing you miss out on things like free houses, free non combat pets, free mounts, and of course free crates. But hey, you keep fighting the good fight!

    Silly. Not a single mechanic depends on those crates. I never bought one and still play.

    I d rather ask to not put in neo mounts. But there are plenty out there already.

    What’s your problem? there are, there was and there will always be people who enjoy to throw some coins in slot machine and see what’s come out, nobody force you to do that, and gems allow you to buy something particular without extra crates

    No but I'm sure they will remove them about the same time they remove PvP as an incentive to keep ME happy. They're thoughtful like that.

    Yep, I don't like crown crates but since they started to hand them out freely so often it has really softened the blow. I now feel like I can get some of the items from the crates without spending any extra money on them. It has been a good move from ZOS.

    The pearl clutchers and 'loot' boxes are hi-larious.

    "How dare you, sir and/or madam, provide entertainment at a cost!"

    In their world, video games are simply an axiomatic truth, immutable, always present, as if they require no labor and capital to birth into existence.

    @DYSEQTA Please explain your logic behind not playing ESO over Crown Crates?

    Love how people call them loot boxes when you can still buy what you want from them in the crown store- unlike the literal gambling crates in Overwatch
