Way back in 2014 when I was just a noob and vamp pyromage DKs ruled the world, one of my very favorite things in ESO was Pacrooti. This friendly Khajiit would send me mail every day chronicling his exploits in Tamriel. His wit and clever dialogue were a delight, the first thing I would do after logging in each day would be to scour my mail for the latest tale of misadventure from my favorite feline friend.
Apparently the woodworking trade in Tamriel has not been a growth industry, because dark times have fallen upon our erstwhile lumberjack. Instead of scouring the forests of Nirn for the choicest woodworking materials he now lurks in the dark alleys and dank sewers of our cities peddling the Tamrielic version of meth. "Just one more" he pleads with us, speaking to the vapid and hollow impulses we all share. He's become ESO's Walter White except without the misplaced sense of honor or the obstinately noble goals. He's become nothing more than a dirty street-corner pusher seeking to separate fools from their money while feeding us drivel about our "perseverance."
The gambling boxes are terrible ZOS, many of your customers seem to agree on that. We know we can't stop this pending dumpster fire, but PLEASE LEAVE PACROOTI OUT OF THIS! Do not take one of the most universally loved characters in your game and turn him into this reprehensible scam artist. Keep the NPC, the model, most of the voice overs, whatever. Just take the name "Pacrooti" off everything associated with the Crown Crates and put him in the game somewhere that's actually fun. PLEASE.

Making the whole thing a little mini-game doesn't make it any easier to stomach.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.

Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.

What I found interesting... this is the first ever mail Pacrooti sends you. (Bolding done by me)This one is forwarding crafting materials to you. Pacrooti looks forward to a long and rewarding relationship with his honored friend, especially since the crooked dealers at the gambling caravan tricked him out of his hard-earned gold.

Hireling who sends you materials. You get about a month's worth of notes from him with the right passive unlocked. He also did an Answers Your Questions segment (I still miss those).
I would however like to point out that this is not new information; they mentioned Pacrooti would be doing this when they announced the Crown Crates initially.#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

It has to be a cute, likeable character, whose cuteness and likeability would conceal the smell of scam. In other words, someone who you would look at and open your heart and wallet, which Matt Firor is not. [snip]

I don't know about you, but from Pacrooti's component gathering methods, I would not really say that I would not suspect him of a scam.
Just not an organized one. His are more crimes of opportunity, so this does not really fit his character.Why be normal when you can be better?
