After paying 240$ trying to get a sweet roll I've rethought my life and will be taking my 40+ nix hounds somewhere else. Am I pissed? Yes. Will I still play? Sure, I'll even keep my subscription. Am I going to stop buying crown crates? Absolutely, and I'm going to make sure everyone I game with knows what kinds of odds they're looking at.
Aftermath:
1 robo senche
1 Gorne wolf
1 dwemer bug pet
1/2 of the dwemer masks
4 order of the hour motifs
3 Grand crown xp scrolls
7 major crown xp scrolls
Dozens of regular XP scrolls
30+ nyx hounds
20+ dwemer puzzles
30+ crown mimic stones
Some riding scrolls, some drinks, some crummy food that shouldn't even be there because it's so easy to make/get (literally thrown in to take up one of the card slots) and a couple of the weird beanie flower hats.
For those of you number crunchers I had to estimate because I started counting after I noticed a trend. 90 crates and over a third had nix hound. Over half had nix hound or dwemer puzzles. Not a single "crown crates only item" and the only thing I'm told through customer service is we're sorry you have bad luck and feel free to try the forums. Elder scrolls off the record on Twitter did a poll on if players were losing faith in zos over crown crates and it was 75% yes 25% no.
I don't have any issue telling every guil and zone chat not to buy these crates.

My condolences; what a misery your luck was. This just makes me all the more certain that these crates are WAY more rigged than the last two series have been; 30+ hounds and puzzles is beyond excessive. At least you were spared all the useless eyebrow spikes (or whatever they're called).

Usually I wouldn't follow these threads, but I was really hoping that some clarification would be shed upon the situation or maybe even some acknowledgement that it's happening at all. Instead... just silence. They're obviously just milking the cash cow at this point and probably won't put out a statement until a couple weeks from now when the new crate hype has died down. Really discouraging

Gina Bruno has created an individual thread with elder scrolls off the record and it has apparently closed with either no posts or no posts to us. The overwhelming feedback has apparently left them reeling and they are treading very, very carefully. I put in an average of 500 a year between crown crates, dlc purchase and subscription and I'm about to cut down 200 a year for subscription/ dlc release.
I think the best solution to this would be to fix the weighting firstly -and rather than refund or free crates - simply give everybody who got way too many hounds an extra 10 gems per Hound we received. Seriously unreal that they're spammed in such a frequency and worth only 5 gems. It's horrible.

Yes, about 6 nixhounds here and about 8 useless mimic stones. <<< does anyone actually use those?
