    Spent 17m gold on crates. Got ripped off by one person for 2m. Sent in a ticket, nothing from Zos yet. Anyway, after over 200 crates, maybe even 250, i cant remember anymore, i finally got a radiant. Of course it was the wolf when the Senche is the one i wanted. Would have taken the horse second. Needless to say, fairly salty. I totally understand that it is gambling and it was my choice, but yea, still salty. F crates.

    It is all on you. I mean you are gambling with virtual boxes. That stupid ripoff crates exist because of peeps like you.
    I mean, it is a casino game. House wins.
    Except in his case it sounds like he just spent in-game gold for them, not real money. Virtual money for virtual items from virtual boxes.

    SOMEONE still paid real money to ZoS, which supports their crate system, even if the person who ultimately opened them only spent in-game gold. So in this case, buying with virtual currency just adds a middle man or two and changes nothing for anyone morally opposed to them.

    Personally, I say gold, cash, however you pay doesn't matter - spend what you have however you want and don't let others dictate your happiness. But the "I didn't spend the money so it doesn't count" misconception is one I've seen around here before and it just doesn't jive.

    "I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.

    Well, at least we get cool ice mounts because ice mages aren't a thing.

    That would be awesome but the Frost Bear fits the Warden tank pretty well.

    I always buy a bunch of crates (the pack of fifteen crates), and this time I liked most of what was inside - there were crate seasons I certainly didn't like as much.

    I got the frost atro horse (I like the sounds it makes, very ... frosty), frozen eyelashes, cute doggo and coaly bear mount, plus I spent some crown gems on the coaly horse.
    Yes, 'tis a nice crate season.

    I’ve changed my mind about these mounts. They look neat, but the summon sound effect is waaaay too loud. They need to cut the volume on it.

    They are great and exactly what I have been waiting for, for two of my characters. But given the average person will have to shell out a truly ridiculous amount of money for one to drop in a crate [snip].

    Just put apex drops up for direct purchase in the Crown store, so that I can choose what pixels to spend my money on. Its not even that I cannot afford it, its the principle. Crates are ridiculously over priced.

    Gambling mechanics, sorry "surprise mechanics" are a sick joke.

    I am precisely the opposite. What breaks my immersion is a normal looking mount, materialising out of thin air. This only makes sense to me, from an immersion perspective, if the mount is magical. Most of my characters have magical styles of mount as a result.

    They're lovely...but TCE is running out of sellers so they jacked the cost way up for crowns and you can only buy 15 total ever, so the only trustworthy way of turning gold into crates is...that.

    Well exactly, clearly the only way for the mounts to be "summoned" in such a fashion, is some form of magic. So this is another reason I dont mind magical/fantasy mounts. I guess thats why I find it strange an ESO player would complain about magical mounts in a world of magic.

    Do you know that in Elder Scrolls you can summon daedra in any form that is determined by a spell? For example, bound armor pieces and bound weapons are actual daedra creatures (scamps, dremora, etc) in a form of equipment. So, atronach horses or guars are completely lore friendly (given that a rider has some protection of his rear part).

    All I have to do is check crowncrates.com and look at the stats for drop chance, those ice mounts have less than a 0.5% chance to drop and it puts me off straight away, even with gems you still need to buy silly numbers of crates to get enough duplicates to buy one.

    Ice mounts are around 2 %
