    Crown repair kit = gold saved = gold bought with real money
    Respec scroll = gold saved = gold bought with real money
    Mount speed purchase = advantage substituting 180 days played requirement sold for real money
    Experience scroll = advantage substituting large time investment to achieve max CP sold for real money
    Race change = stat advantage for rotating meta-build sold for real money

    Lol

    The outrage you see over gambling boxes is that they are a pretty clear indication of the trajectory of the game going forward. Several people have discussed what always happens once a game implements these. It's seen as a death knell. And sadly, I don't think these people are wrong. At the very least it shows that ZOS has once again ignored player feedback on this issue as they have so many others.

    Geez, you've got those lines a little too close imo. Especially since those lines are passable for free. Literally all of them.

    Sell drop gear to repair old stuff

    Respect in town. Really, gold isn't hard to come by

    Play at least 5 minutes every 20 hours for a few months (admittedly, this one sucks majorly)

    Potions do the same thing, and more bang for your buck tbh. Instead of one straight 2h shot, you get 4 50 minute goes (assuming provisioning perks, which take an hour to get)

    Reroll.

    Until such time that the crown store sells something non-vanity that I can't do for free, I personally have no issue.

    A death knell? Might be a touch dramatic. I'm a realist, and I still don't see this going bad. The crown store has avoided Pay2win since it launched, what makes you think an RNG box for cosmetic stuff people already had will kill off ESO? Genuinely curious.

    Leave and uninstall, it's just re-skinned mounts and costumes.
