Why can’t zos put a little disclaimer on crown store items that can be obtained in-game? “This item can also be obtained in-game. For more information see the help menu.” Or something to that effect.
One of the big issues is that very few things are explained. There is no guide that I know of. You just get a few information blurbs during load screens.

ZoS apparently are preying on the player base by giving them a free way to change skills and attributes.
The funny thing about this is that most people I know have saved an "unmorphed" slot in the armory for their characters so that they can change skills for free.

So the new euphemism for cheekyness is "convenience" now.
If ZOS decided to offer stacks of basic style materials or potency runes for 700c, it would also be a matter of convenience because the player doesn't need to go and find the NPC?
Also, it is funny that you mention the fact that not many players are aware of the gold/crown conversion rates as an excuse and assume that those who are aware of the rates are the ones that know how to port to a shrine That is EXACTLY the point that people are complaining about: Taking advantage of a lack of knowledge. If players do that by selling NPC stuff to newbies, it creates an outrage. If a company does essentially the same, it is convenience.
As for the help menu: I might be wrong at this one because I just briefly checked one of the videos on the matter, so feel free to correct me, but as far as I know, the word "respec" does not exist in the help menu. It is called rededication. And if new players don't know how to find a shrine in a city, they most certainly don't know the correct word to look for.
All the discussion aside, in my opinion, Rich Lambert shouldn't have replied to all this on stream. [snip]

I saw that stream and the way he was dropping F bombs and was so rude shocked me. Not to mention how he banned the content creator for simply asking a question? A lot of players were taken aback by his behavior and i know few who decided to stop playing the game over this.

A lot of the YouTube videos is merely chit-bait to generate views for personal gain. So, I take them all with very small grain of salt.

You do need the banker. Everytime I see guildie/discord friends asking for what item should they get from crown store, I always answer
"Banker", "Banker", "Banker"
You'll need it
The videos were specifically critisizing Rich's response to someone calling out ZOS for advertizing respec scrolls, and his support towards that practice. If you check out the tweets below that advertisement, or the comments on those videos, there's been indeed a lot of players who didn't know better and bought scrolls/bites/cures, and regretted it when they found out the alternative means not involving real money. [snip] (and while I concede that maybe a player would knowingly rather sprend a few thousand crowns because they didn't have 1500 gold in-game, which was one of his main arguments, I guarrantee that these would be a rarity). Of course he is entitled to express his opinion in his own platform, and personally I think it's great he's engaging with players even regarding the not-so-savoury aspects of the game, instead of avoiding them, but in this case, I still think staunchly supporting these crown items, [snip] was perhaps not the best idea.
Personally I am just annoyed by the constant decline of quality they offer. Last sub I had was Nov. 2017, after they stopped the crown crates for subs during ESO+ trial and gave out a whopping 10-15% discount on specific crown items I was done.

Huh. I consider the "free Crown Crates" to be largely worthless. In a daily reward scenario, I tend to rank them along with the free Crown Poisons, which I have never found a pressing need for. When they were in the rewards line up, they basically replaced better items. I get that people get "upset" that ZOS is not putting them in the daily rewards, and I have no recollection of them ever being involved with ESO Plus, but to me ZOS might as well be handing out free handfuls of dirt.
The entire Crown Crate/Gem system should be aged out and scrapped, the rewards they provide mainlined into the Crown Store, and Seals used to buy anything in the Crown Store.
