[Suggestion] Crown Crate Variety Crates

hexentb16_ESO

I think it would be super cool if there were crown crates available that had a chance to contain all the crown gem items of a specific theme that are normally available in other crates. I don't mean the arbitrary theme ZOS assigns to crates, like the Nightfall crates.

What I'd like is something like this...

Costume Party Crates
A crate with a variety of costumes, hats, and outfit styles from other crown crates. The costumes, hats, and styles that one could find in these crates would be ones that you could imagine people wearing to a Halloween party.
The Toxin Doctor outfit style for example.

Or...

Large Furnishings Crates
Crates that have a chance to contain large home furnishing items from other crates.

Or...

Crazy Cat Lady Crates
Just crown crates that have a chance to contain any house cat from any other crown crates.

...maybe don't add that last one. I collect house cats in ESO and will probably max my credit card.

Anyways, the reason I think these kinds of crates should be added is because it is REALLY annoying for us dedicated players to have to wait a full year or more for one thing we decided we want. If you added these kinds of crates ZOS we could give you more money sooner. Plus it would be a better alternative to the boring crates you guys put up for a while sometimes when there's nothing new.

Oh and if you start introducing these kinds of crates to the crown store please do a poll allowing us to choose which theme...and cycle themes in and out of the poll so we cant vote the same theme again before 2-4 months have passed.

This whole game is about waiting. Waiting on Research, waiting on Riding Training, waiting for crate seasons and houses...it's how they keep people subbed and playing. I don't expect any changes.

I’d like one that is just all mounts and pets, but probably they wouldn’t do it because those things are worth too much. It is a fun idea though

Unfortunately I agree. Its a shame ZOS never realized that the waiting has never been what keeps us playing ESO.

I mean, there’s nothing wrong with waiting a while for crates to come back, but it gets pretty aggravating when you have no idea IF they’ll be back

Maybe some kind of all-star crate withthe most popular item from previous crate (with their assorted potion and poison)
The 3 most popular radiant
The 6 most popular apex
Etc

Popularity coud partially be mesured by crown gem purchase for non radiant item

Why not just stop buying crates. If people stopped gambling for stuff in games they would be in the store for direct purchase. The reason they exist is some people will pay thousands of dollars to try to get something with an incredibly slim chance of actually obtaining.

I say let's NOT give them reasons to keep doing lootboxes.

I agree with you but I doubt the whales will ever stop wasting their money.

I mean...ya...but since the whales will never stop wastint their money ZOS will keep pumping out the gambling boxes. At least these variety boxes would improve the situation a little.
