with still no info people are beginning to think this is on purpose, to get rid of crate gifting. Can you at least confirm or deny this if you cannot give an ETA?

We are not getting rid of crate gifting. As stated before, the issue our team is working to solve is a bit complex. So it is taking a bit of time to get through. We still do not have an ETA to share, but the team is working towards solving this solution as soon as they can.

I am really worried that such a bug takes so long to fix.

During the accidental activation of crate gifting by the team demonstrates their ability to work on its functionality.

Would love to know the cause of such a long undertaking.

Here is my attempt to help out, I am new to coding just watch a few videos, but if anything here works feel feel to take it.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

// Player class representing a player with a name and crowns balance
class Player {
public:
    Player(const std::string& name, int crowns)
        : name(name), crowns(crowns) {}

    std::string getName() const { return name; }
    int getCrowns() const { return crowns; }
    void setCrowns(int newCrowns) { crowns = newCrowns; }

private:
    std::string name;
    int crowns;
};

// Function to gift an item to another player
void giftItem(Player& sender, Player& receiver, int crownCost) {
    if (sender.getCrowns() >= crownCost) {
        sender.setCrowns(sender.getCrowns() - crownCost);
        receiver.setCrowns(receiver.getCrowns() + crownCost);
        std::cout << sender.getName() << " has successfully gifted an item to "
                  << receiver.getName() << ". " << crownCost << " Crowns have been deducted from "
                  << sender.getName() << "'s account." << std::endl;
    } else {
        std::cout << "Insufficient Crowns. " << sender.getName() << " does not have enough Crowns to make the gift."
                  << std::endl;
    }
}

int main() {
    // Create two player objects
    Player player1("Sender", 1000);
    Player player2("Receiver", 0);

    // Gift an item from player1 to player2 (cost: 500 Crowns)
    giftItem(player1, player2, 500);

    return 0;
}

Also, it was said an answer would be given the week of June 12th. So could be Friday the 16th.

Do you have any memories of this time? For the newer players. I also heard that horses used to take up an inventory slot.

TheForFeeF · June 2023

Bit mad this still isn't fixed.

Can you believe it? Crown Crates, giftable, in your homeland... what are you going to do?

All the new players are never gonna believe it when grandpa tells stories about the golden years when crown crates were gift-able.

Had enough and already lost faith with the ZOS….. f being playing like 7 years above, I don’t know wether gifting mean a lot to the player base , but it was important for me since buying with gold and unlocked the cool contain is the only affordable way…

It’s like the most important of features of the game.

Since everything is ESO that is cool is behind the crown store, having a way to earn it with gold, makes it possible to play and earn it.

Other mmos have mounts you can earn, wow or ff14….

This is a disaster to know from now on, the only way to win is … well to pay.

well you are only indirectly earning it with gold

someone still had to spend $ to get crowns and then spend those crowns to gift you the crates

it certainly helps people who dont want to spend real money on the crates (out of choice or because they cant afford to)

i know it wont make enough of a difference to get rid of crown crates, but im sure they are losing out on a lot of crown and/or crown crate sales because of the ~4 months with gifting disabled (almost this entire crown crate season)

Since everyone is hear waiting for the update....

Here is a poem that summerizes all the updates we got for the crown crate gifting bug... But with a Twist, I made it sound

There is a significant number of players engaging in gameplay to acquire gold for purchasing crates.

If I'm unable to engage in gameplay to earn gold for buying crates and instead have to work in real life to earn money for purchasing items from the Crown Store, it disrupts the cycle of needing to play the game. The essence of playing the game is compromised if I can't earn crown items through gameplay.

I disagree on the assertion that ZOS is losing money because of the gifting, as there is no evidence to support this claim.

Similarly, there is no evidence to substantiate the conspiracy theories suggesting that ZOS intentionally designs marketing strategies to gather data on consumer behavior and entice them into purchasing the 25 crate FOMO exclusive polymorph bundle.

I sure hope this gets fixed sooner then the "foreseeable future" time frame mentioned by Kevin.
