Will any race in any alliance be in the crown store?

So I know that Gina said that the explorer pack being in the crown store was a mistake in the notes, but explain this please.
Exhibit A:
So in those two pictures it says I purchased those "DLC" in the crown store.
Exhibit B:
And in these pictures it says these Items were awarded for six months of loyal subscription( before anyone says because those are pets the crab says it was purchased in the crown store as well.)
ZOS why does the any race in any alliance not say it was awarded for pre-ordering, Is it because you can purchase it in the crown store?

✭I can see them, your pictures that is.
I also noticed this last night when I was on PTS. Their locations on the collections tab made mention that imperial edition and explorers pack were crown store purchases. Whether or not this is just a placeholder value for a different designation, I had just assumed they were being added to the store because "reasons"($$$).Edited by BBSooner on January 28, 2015 9:21PM0 -
Spiritreaver_ESO✭✭✭Don't know why i had to fiddle with my browser, but i saw them finally.
Just going by what was said in that last ESO Live vid that i just made myself pay attention to all the way through, they are in the collections tab-which mean that however they were obtained, they are applied account-wide.0 -

Haha just kidding, I don't see why it's a big deal because you can still but any key of the explorer pack for like 3 dollars in any shady CD-key site and have the explorer pack just like I did.
For what it seems there are plenty of explorer packs cheap CD-keys out there yet and ZOS is only making it be viable from their store which is much more safer than any site with a questionable reputation.
Obs.: I'm not in favor of their B2P model or even this crown store and I find disrespectful to the people that preordered the game the explorer pack is still available to be brought at this point but, not sell it in their store would be hypocrisy.Edited by Beerbill on January 28, 2015 9:35PM0 -

✭✭✭✭I don't care. I have nothing against giving everyone access to the Explorer's Pack, IMO it's an important part of the Elder Scrolls experience. I never liked locked races, the Pack was the only reason I pre-ordered.1 -

I bought the preorder for the same reason. I feel like the race lock is against the spirit of TES.2 -

✭I actually HOPE it ends up in the crown store, since my friends are going to want to get it, and I'd rather see them give money to ZOS than some shady site that stole the codes from pre-order packs.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It makes sense to have things in the crown store people want to buy. Imperial edition, explorer edition, whatever, I see no reason at all that the preorder people should be the only ones to have free race selection (not that I ever felt too inclined to use it myself, but... everyone should have the option if they think it worth the price)
Though of course, I for one -would- have liked it if cross-fraction race characters were met with suspiscion in in their story... but I can see that doing conversations multiple times would drive up the game production costs and memory usage and all that. Still, would have been neat if playing a breton in the pact will leave you less then trusted with all the covenant incursions
Back to the OP... in the end, it will be their decision if and when they allow purchase of what pack in the crown store. Explorer pack, if not now, then someday, I doubt they would really want to miss a chance to make more money from the people who may jump into ESO once the subscription is no longer scaring them away...0 -

It quit being a preorder bonus when they realized they could use it to make money, at least I still have my Molag no Balls statue to keep me companyThat which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.
