Sunburnt_Penguin✭✭✭✭✭No & will never!I freely buy cosmetics from the Crown Store but there's no chance I'm buying the Crates just for the chance to obtain something I like the look of. Even if I did get what I was after, chances are I'd be paying well over the price they would have listed them on the CS for if Crates didn't exist.
There's a limit on my tolerance towards corporate greed and I look fly af as it is anyway.19 -

✭✭✭✭✭No & will never!I have 13800 Crowns right now, but I don't partake on this kind of thing for multiple reasons.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.17 -

✭✭Yes, 4opened 4 to see if odds were still as bad, yep no mounts at all, no "epic" or "legendary" things.
managed to get the red pit wolf i just overlooked but i'v no interest in non-magical pets.
but thats not the worst part. pacrooti is STILL egging you on to buy more. sickened by this.
@SantieClaws Pacrooti is trying to fund some sort of scheme or habbit if he's sinking this low

✭✭✭No & will never!I want to know what I'm getting so will only ever buy direct from the store.
However, if I feel I'm financing more crown crates then I may stop buying anything altogether.9 -
Jim_Pipp✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, but maybe....It's been interesting seeing how the forums responded to crates. I personally find the gamble-box approach quite cynical and exploitative, but I have tried to have an open mind about them.
If the drop rates in crown crates turn out to be reasonable then I may have a flutter on a different theme (skeletal mounts were datamined ages ago), so I can't say I never will, but I definitely won't anytime soon.#1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.2 -

@Cazzy sums up my feelings.
I'll only buy when I know what I'll get, I have no desire to pay for something I potentially don't want. If they ever decide to let us convert unwanted collectibles, I might reconsider. But as it stands now... I'll pass.
I simply don't want to clutter up my collection with items I don't want.10 -

TerraDewBerry✭✭✭✭✭
✭No & will never!Nope.. nope.. nope. Just remember... "friends don't let friends buy crown crates"
For the people who are getting good things right now... This is likely just a classic bait and switch... At the beginning, you get great stuff or the drop rate is pretty good... then later on when people think the crates aren't "so bad" they ninja nerf the drop rate and or items....
Seriously people... don't be fooled by this!!Edited by TerraDewBerry on December 1, 2016 6:52PM12 -
Slurg✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭No & will never!These crates are not for me. I like to buy cosmetic items and mounts directly and hope that option will be available to me next year.
I wish good luck and temperance to those who want to gamble for these items and hope the drop rates have changed enough from PTS that they aren't getting ripped off. But I haven't seen enough evidence of that to change my signature yet.Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

✭✭Yes, 26 - 49Its not that much bad, i got everything from crown crate store (all non storm mount, skin, pets and momentos) but only one storm mount.

kevlarto_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, but maybe....If zos was to start putting some of these profits back into the game to fix things add more content, crack down on cheaters and exploiters, I might me inclined to spend some money beyond my sub, and it is hard for me to even keep my sub going.
If they were doing these things I would have no problem opening up my wallet and buying something beyond by sub from time to time, I just don't have enough trust or faith in zos to spend any extra at this time.6 -

jedtb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Yes, 16 - 25that was fun....
got a couple of atro mounts, three pets, four costumes, a hat, a memento, several mount training scrolls and a load of junk that i traded back for gems.
do i feel like i've been burned? no
do i think i've been scammed? no
do i think i've been ripped off? no
but how can that be???????
because i fully understood what i was getting into.
and the really fun bit is..... it didn't cost me a penny because zos keep giving me crowns that i have no real use for.
for less than 25p a day i get all the dlc, extra xp and a craft bag and a great game to play - i call that a really good deal.8 -
