So, no crates for logging in? Or did I miss that somewhere?
And did the Four-Fabric skirt ever get its leg mesh glitch fixed?

They do give a good amount of crowns tho, which can be used to buy crates for "free". From an accounting point of view this does look better, as they can be counted as sales (since crowns are spent), unlike straight freebies that aren't accounted for in any way.
But I admit that, personally, I'm very unlikely to spend my free crowns on crates.

Would it have been THAT hard to put a saddle on a wamasu?

"FREE" would imply that there was no payment involved...
STOP SAYING THOSE CROWNS ARE FREE. IF YOU PAID FOR IT, IT'S NOT "FREE"
Ok, so I have to ask - will the Deadwater body markings be able to display over the Deadwater skins? Because that's definitely in my top five wishes (skins would still allow body markings).

What do they do?
2. Some of them will start searching for whales so to trade their gold for crowns.
3. Whales pay real money for the crates and gift them to the mentioned gold sellers.
4. ZOS gets money from crates sales that would probably never happen otherwise.
Edit: Some people say that this will hurt ESO+ sales. Yes, it will, but we do not know how much additional money gifting business model brings. Maybe it brings more money that they lose from subscriptions. We can only guess at the moment.

Are people really unsubbing because they aren't getting free crates from ESO trial events? Seriously? Most of the time you get junk, and only occasionally will you get lucky. I'd rather just get free stuff outright, like they're doing now. Sure, I may not always want the item, but I certainly didn't want even half the stuff I got from the free crates.
I'm guessing that they didn't get as many people like me, who never bought crates, to start buying them once they got a few gems and started paying more attention to what was in the crates. I bought stuff with the gems I got from the consumables and duplicate collectibles, which was great. But it never got me to start gambling with my money.
Will I miss the free crates? Sure, they're fun to open and see what's inside, if they're free. But most of the time I ended up disappointed with what I got. We may still get some as daily rewards in the future, but that'll be it for me, since I'm on console, so I don't get Twitch drops, except on a couple of occasions.
Luckily, there isn't even one thing I want from these crates. A handful I wouldn't mind getting from a free crate, but there's nothing here I actually want (that I didn't already buy outright). The mounts are HIDEOUS and I would never use those FUGLY skins either.
Oh...and to answer @VaranisArano - they did fix the skirt on the Argonian costume. I have it and it looks fine now.

Exactly. This is pure laziness. Camel Lizard, good grief. People wanted to ride wamasu, instead they got these ugly abominations. They look like deformed mutants that escaped from a lab.
Behold . . . I present to you the "War Wamasu" for you and your friends!!!
I drown in a river of sorrows and my spines sag with longing for that which one cannot have, but my scales glisten slightly at your timely response. Please let the team know that if there's anything I or my tribe can do to hasten the manifestation of simultaneous body markings and skins, it will be done fast-fast with utmost moistness and glee!ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »Ok, so I have to ask - will the Deadwater body markings be able to display over the Deadwater skins?

Just checked with the team and it sounds like these ones do not stack. The body markings are hidden by the skin.
