I don't agree with them but people can do with their own money whatever they want. Its not down to anyone else to judge.
It is the people who do not buy them in the minority.

I think that is one of the best parts about being an adult - if I see something and I wants it, I GETS IT! lol
I like Pacrooti. We have some really great times together. The free moonsugar is always a nice touch, too
Save Pacrooti!
BUY CROWN CRATES! SUPPORT A KHAJIIT LIFE!
Also you don't get the thing you see, you get some random garbage you didn't ask for. Direct purchases are what you're talking about, not RNG boxes.

I 100% disagree with OP. I did it myself once to test the odds and got the exact mount I wanted and some other awesome cosmetics.
Do support this.
Thats the main reason I do not support this, it is pure gambling and ZOS abusing the human psychology, there are underage kids who are take advantage of and actually are not legally allowed to gamble
There are no cash rewards in the crown crates. It may be a fine line, but buying crown crates is not considered gambling in the official sense. There's nothing but digital fluff in there, so no regulatory body would condemn or regulate it.
True, but still feeding an addiction
Any signs of better customer support? In-game gamemasters zapping and banning bots camping dolmens? Bug fixes? New content that hasn't been in development from before the "monetize everything as much as possible" person was hired? ETAs on any of this because people are buying the clown crates?

I didn't buy crown crates yet, but I saw some videos on youtube of openings and I see how many people were disappointing and just threw so much money away.
Even if you have too much money to spend, there are other more useful ways to spend it other than supporting this massive scam.
Even if there was 100% chance to get a mount every 15 boxes it would still be the equivalent of 40$ for a mount which is the price of many brand new games.
Supporting things like that only encourages them to scam you more.

Gaming (excessive) can be an addiction too. And mmos are basically endless. Should they start regulating your daily ESO dose to avoid feeding an addiction?
Like you believing the money is actually going to improve/support the game? That kind of naivety?

I don't get why people automatically assume you're an addict if you partake in 'gambling'. I'm sure you know someone who buys a lottery ticket every once in a while, but you wouldn't call that feeding an addiction... Maybe being stupid but not addiction unless it's a compulsive thing they really can't control.
but but I am addict...its a very addicting game..I get dragged out of arcades, at least they can't drag me out of eso. fun times.

While I agree with your feelings about the crates specifically, I disagree with the 'useful spending' comment. It's all up to the person with the money to decide what's useful and has value for their own dollar.

I suppose ZOS should now be responsible for kids who have garbage parents?

Well Casinos do put age restrictions on gambling enforced by the government so that even if the parents are bad the government would protect them, ZOS is the government of ESO
