    Is that a kick in the tail from the start?

    Nothing at all new in the rest of the article at all as far as this one she can see.

    And... We still don't know if the themed items are the only ones that are exclusive.
    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.

    Yeah I got that, I imagine that the Skeleton, the Wild Hunt and the Dwemer ones will be exclusive to their own crates too. And I don't mind this so much.

    I'm worried about recolors. Specially the Ice Wolf, since the Red Pit Wolf was marked as exclusive on the PTS.

    its funny... i cant count how many times they talked about giving players information on their chances of getting stuff out of these boxes.

    I guess the numbers are so bad, they figured it would be better to not tell us anything.

    Agree, no new info at all really, and also nothing specific of what items can actually be exchanged for Gems and also the most asked about question the 'conversion ratio'

    You will also have the option to convert several items obtained from Crown Crates to Crown Gems any time you want. Items that can be manually converted include potions, poisons, riding lessons, experience scrolls, and other utility-type items. Any Crown Gems you earn can then be used to purchase the collectible items of your choosing from the current Crown Crate season.

    So, it seems you won't be able to get rid of all the "consumables" you don't want or need. After seeing literally hundreds of "consumables" show up on the pts, "several" isn't going to cut it.

    What about the costumes, hats, pets, frills, horns, whatevers that you don't want or won't use? [For me anything for argonians, none of my characters is one, and I have no plans to ever make one] I guess they aren't "utility" items and don't meet the trade-in requirement.

    Are items instantly bound to your account the way it was in the pts version?

    Yeah, still not considering then better than the pts

    People are wondering about the ice wolf/red wolf/black mane lion/black lion. None are atronach mounts.

    they could have one per week in the shop for a decent outright price and actually sell them , no doubt lots of them.

    Not just that crown crates are now going life and the game converts into a scam, what is "offered" looks more and more ridiculous and is basically polluting the TES world with stuff, which should never be in the game in the first place, because it kills the whole scenery. ESO becomes more and more like Archeage.

    Disgusting, I despise ZOS for this move - they are terrible dishonest people - (to use the phrase from Trump)

    This is a dishonest move, a real scam to drain the wallets of players - I am outta here now. Have a good life - not you, ZOS.

    You can apparently convert everything into Gems, and you get Gems if you get stuff you already own.

    ...

    You know what that means, right? The ppl who benefit the most from it and have the best chance to obtain the exclusives are the ones that have spent a lot on the Crown Store already

    I meant in terms of them creating it. How many did we have so far? I'm only in my second month, I did not go back the whole history of releases.

    Yeah, I would have probably bought one of them, oh well.

    Some generalised assumptions and based on old PTS info, but assuming you have everything that it currently available in Crown Store it'd take you anywhere between $110 and $200 per atronach mount assuming you weren't lucky to get one from gambling.

    That means after spending $100s on every cosmetic, costume and other item in the Crown Store you'd still need to fork out that much more at the very most for each of the 6-9 top tier items, or roughly $1500-$2000 per season, or per season of the whale.

    Let the good times roll... :|

    What I bolded was from the announcement. I don't see Costumes or Adornments or Pets in the "potions, poisons, riding lessons, experience scrolls, and other utility-type items".

    The 4 dogs/other pets I got in the pts crates that I never bought and don't want aren't potions, poisons, lessons, scrolls, or utility items. If I want a pet, I buy it. If I don't want it, I don't buy it. That means that every pet I never bought and don't want can show up in the crates and I will be stuck with it. I know how many items I didn't like and haven't bought, compared to how many items they've offered. I know how many items I'd be stuck with if I was foolish enough to attempt to get a specific item from the crates.

    If I was foolish enough to buy the crates. Which I'm not. I really want the lions, but not if they are in the crates.

    I have no interest at all in the atronach mounts. The next to last crate I opened on the pts, on the last day [8th, iirc, after getting the full number of crates we could buy for 5500 crowns everyday] was one of the atronach mounts, the camel. I didn't buy a camel. I don't like the camel mounts. I can't trade in that camel even though I really dislike it and would never use it. I would have to hope I would either get another camel so I could trade it for 1/3 of the gems, or hope I'd get the mount I really did want.
