    I'll be listening to Bastille's Pompeii on loop during these two days of maintenance, since there is the possibility of Crown Crates to be added this week.

    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.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    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.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I'm not referring to the store being down.

    I'm referring to what is about to be put in the Crown Store. As most of us are waiting in abject terror that the game we love is about to be irreversibly damaged.

    @runagate they might not. These two maintenances could be for the trial weekend and crown sale.

    I hope.

    It really pains me to say this, but I think ultimately ZoS has enough sense to make changes that are acceptable, although in some cases they might tarnish their reputation. Everything people complained about so far has turned out to e not nearly the issue they thought it was. For example, I have been able to buy every motif but the very latest from the guild kiosks just using crafting writ gold.

    Having said that, if they do leave the reservation, it could be an entirely different story. If this game turns into a Neverwinter, I and everyone I know are gone the same day.

    Haha, if those crates work the way they've been on the pts I'm probably going to unlock the dlcs and prepare to stop putting money into this game.

    Not as any protest or unsub threat. I just know myself well enough, if I ever had spare crowns lying around something in those crates would call out to me. I'd rather not be left with a load of [explitive] useless crown consumables and some momento to taunt me evermore for my folley.

    Eh? They said "most of us", not "all of us". And yes, there is a very large majority that agrees with the OP. Why are you so butthurt about it?

    I still can't see the problem,, the crates themselves don't affect your gameplay. You do know you are not forced to buy them when they are in the store. This is my point of view as I might dump some excess crown into them but we shall see.

    You're right, poll results mean squat. I get my feedback from people on the forum and guild members in-game talking about crown crates. Literally nobody in any of my guilds has said anything positive about them, so for me, a majority seems to be against them. There's very few people singing praises about it.

    The problem has been discussed ad nauseum and is easy to find. I, for one, think these are thus far the rock bottom for ZOS. If you don't agree, that's fine, but not agreeing with the problem is not the same as not understanding it.

    I guess the complaint is that people with a gambling addiction will spend a lot on this. The thing is, if they really have an addiction, they will just spend that money elsewhere anyway. Now, if they ever put the Maelstrom weapons in crates, that would be a different story.
