They are a really greedy studio but we as a player-base also deserve some of the blame for being able to show 0 restraint when we are shown a shiny thing.

If you think ZOS is a greedy studio, you really don't have much experience in MMOs + greed. Holy.
I cannot think of _any_ that are less cash shop grabby.
People need to chill - crates are in no way required so being upset about them is pointless.
When they say there's a small chance of getting an item, what they really mean is that somewhere in the world, someone will get it. But it won't be you.

Yeah mounts are character bound instead of account bound but they dont have radient apex tiers and you can buy everything for a little more and pay a little less and try to gamble for it.
I am upset about crown crates and the crown store because since I have been playing the game, ZoS has instituted so many polices and added so many new things such as housing and furniture radient apex tier that we can't buy with gems, and drastically cut our crown sale discount amount.
Literally so many new ways to generate and maximize revenue and performance has gotten actively worse over the last 18 months instead of better. If i didn't crash to the xbox dashboard every damn day and freeze and stutter in PvP and PvE you wouldn't hear A DAMN PEEP out of me about the crates and the store and their little shenanigans. Their business practices make me feel undervalued and insulted as someone who pays a premium tier subscription fee while the game is also performing like a game still in Beta. I know others feel the same.
