    Well, looking at the bright side, this is going to be the second time they give free crates (third time, with the one that came with Morrowind's preorder, though I don't think that can be considered free since you had to buy the expansion pack), so if they keep doing this eventually you can get enough gems to get what you want is not drop-only without buying a single crate (though it might take a few years if you want anything in the Apex category).

    Obs: I know that it is easy for me to talk when nothing I really want went in a crate so far, I'm sorry, I do not want to downplay your disappointment.

    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.

    Karthwolf? You mean the ice wolf mount and non-combat pet with the red markings?

    https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/crownstore/item/785?karthwolf-charger-mount
    and
    https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/crownstore/item/787?karthwolf-pet

    Those aren't crown crate items. You can buy them individually or as the Collectors bundle for Horns of the Reach DLC.

    I had seen the same datamine that floats around before an announcement, and I hoped fewer of these were locked behind crown crates. Guess not.

    I hate the crown crates and refuse to ever buy a single one. I'll take the free ones but that's about it. I refuse to waste my hard earned money gambling for digital items.

    They make this event only to get moar people into cc gambling. It's disgusting, but we can't do anything about it because no one forces us to buy them, just like creation club. And btw. will I get crown crate If I will kill one or two alits each day?

    Seeing ah how these crates are littered literally with dead horses it seems apropos to kick the dead horse,

    Limited time(time pressure), check
    RNG droprate (gambeling), check
    Free crates (feed the addiction), check

    In no way do I oppose a company making money in fact money made and invested into content is a win for everyone but predatory business-marketing practices are predatory marketing practices.

    The crown crates alone were terrible enough.
    Then they added the even more ultra rare pieces.
    Then they added "free" boxes just for logging in which to some would sound good except marketing research tells you if you give a person three boxes they are more likely to purchase a box.

    The crates have some cool things but outside of that's in an exploitation of the players in my opinion.

    Like I said at the top dead horse for dead horse.

    The Stag-Heart Skull Sallet. Was really looking forward to that.

    But apparently the Crow-Heart's not in one of the boxes, so I'm still hoping for that.

    If you log in for the next three days (22nd to 24th) and kill any monster mob, you get a free crate.

    If you log in for the next three days (22nd to 24th) and kill any monster mob, you get a free crate.

    EARN FREE CROWN CRATES
    Want to earn some of these creepy new crates for free? Log into the game and defeat any monster or minion every day, from Friday the 22nd until Sunday the 24th of September. Note that for the purpose of this event, each day begins at 12:00AM UTC and ends at 11:59PM UTC (that means it starts at 8:00PM the day before for those on the US East Coast).

    You'll be rewarded for your efforts with one free crate for each day you participate, so don't forget to log into the game and slaughter some enemies! You'll receive the Reaper's Harvest Crown Crates you've earned (via the in-game Crown Crates menu) on Wednesday the 27th of September--the day before the new season begins. Good hunting!


    oh yeah baby - i am feeling lucky :)
