Twitch crates - Why are they not a guaranteed drop?

I am thankful for the offchance to get my 4 gems (sometimes 5) but not knowing if you watched enough or did something wrong the day before its really annoying.
Just either tell us we did or didn't get one, and let us get on with our lives. Not everyone wants to watch PC players PVP while they speak in heavy accents for 6 hours.

✭✭✭✭✭If they were a guaranteed drop, players would watch for just over 10 minutes and then tune out. With it being random and players not knowing whether or not they got one or the exact way the RNG works, they tune in for longer for that chance to get the crate. Free advertising for ZOS as the expense of transparency. They want you watching the streams. The crates are just the bait to get you there.2 -

They are really sendnig mixed signals with these things.
Free crates! Yay!
But they wont have anything good! Boo!
But they'll give free gems! Yay!
But you wont get one each day you watch, even if you watch 6 hours! Boo!
They walk a fine line between useless and manditory.5 -
xxslam48xxb14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭IM watching like 5 streams at once, does this increase my drop chances?I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."
As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
but my delight will last and you will respawn.
My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.
The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
A miserable, loud deuced fool.
With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.
I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.0 -

✭Guaranteed (so far) at 0710 local email time - if not an (rare) additional at 2012. PST. So - 1 a day for sure; sometimes 2.
I always have someone’s stream running while I play, if drops are enabled. Some are actually really fun!
I don’t have a Torchbug Pet or Twitch Guar Pet, so I always type. the. thing. for giveaways... even though I haven’t won - and I don’t run pets, ever.

Langdon64✭✭✭✭I just afk my phone for ten minutes, usually while I am getting coffee or petting the cat. Maybe it's my age but, I find the streamers incredibly boring, and a little creepy. If you look at their frozen, expressionless, dead looking faces while they are playing intensely, it's scary. If I get a crate, yay. If I don't, no big loss.0

✭✭I don't mind watching twitch for crates. I don't even mind that they have crap 99.99999999999999999999999999% of the time. I just wish they'd take the RNG out of it so we don't feel like our time is wasted or we did something incorrectly.
Or at least tell us "Sorry, you didn't get a drop today" so we know its just RNG and not a bug.
That way when we watch 5 days in a row and get nothing, we know its just bad luck.2 -

I think this is the best explanation. The funny part is that it doesn’t guarantee actual viewership. If I wanted free crates from twitch I’d just mute my iPad and let it suffer in my place. But of course it’s not about how many people are watching, but how many devices, so I suppose there’s no difference to the marketing people. The numbers are what they are.forever stuck in combat0 -

I, as many others, have been supporting this game for years: I don't buy crates but I've subbing for years.
Regarding free crates, it's better to have some than none at all: I'm glad that console players at least now have an equal chance to get them."Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear"- Sons of the Night Mother [PS5][EU] 2165 CP

✭Yeah I don't really like how ESO does it
Almost every other game starts drops at specific times in the streams, and they also usually pay out instantly.
I don't know why we have to sit here with Twitch open all day, or why we have to wait until the next day for our drops.
I'm not in the least ungrateful for the free stuff - I just think the distribution method is wacked out.Edited by lagrue on December 6, 2019 4:45PMPSN ID (NA only): Zuzu_With_a_Z

✭✭IMO, they just need to lift the daily restriction, and it'd be fine. If they actually want us watching their streams, make the reward worth the time. As it currently stands, they're absolutely not worth the time, unless you really want that mount or pet.0
