I got a mount...... I already bought months ago with sub crowns. And the usual junk to be converted. Still I'm only 60 off a new mount now. If I keep handing over moolah I will soon have another mount to go with the Augean Stable I already have....(That's not a property guys)
Over to NA account. I got an Orc scout costume which I could make, I don't see the point? And some green aura thingy those sad questless people who already did everything use near a wayshrine or Undaunted base use hoping someone will duel them. And a spinner costume, which again is just a rehash of armour and isn't a good look for a khajiit. the rest was so worthless I managed to convert 5 gems. But it was free. 100Gs 100Gs keep playing keep playing.

I'm so glad I waited so long for the 2 Wild Hunt Crates only to get the exact same [Bravil Retriever] pet that I already had from BOTH crates.
I think the last time I bought crates was a few of the Dwarven themed ones like over a year ago...
Why would anybody buy crates at this point with this obscene RNG that is becoming worse and worse even with in game Drops becoming more and
more Rare with each new update taking the grind to a disgusting degree. I don't really have anything else to say, I'm just annoyed and disappointed lol...

Are you me? Because my two crates were identical, and had the doggo.

also 2 identical but the banekin pet

Wish I did that’s all I wanted a banekin. All I got was a costume I will never use and potions

I forgot I got that too because I didn't want it, I wish we could gift stuff, you could have it.

I got the dog on each of my two crates as well.

Just took the gems and moved on.

Ask yourselves this question: why can't we buy everything in the crates with normal crowns? Why use the crates distribution model? The answer is that they are taking advantage of gambling psychology and taking advantage of people who can't control the gambling impulse. I've bought crates in the past, I feel the urge to gamble with more crates to get what I want, but I see this scam for what it is and exert some self-control.

They are hoping that by giving away free crates they will hook people into buying more crates. It's a despicable practice akin to pushing drugs. You're taking advantage of human brain chemistry. Shame on you ZOS, clean up your act. I thought the gaming industry had learned their lesson with loot boxes.

Surely you see this isn't the same? Nothing in the crates provides an edge in gameplay - it's all cosmetic or such a minimal advantage (I'm thinking of the scrolls or potions here) so as to be negligible. They're just giving away free things. With the noted exception of The Bots, we're all human - and yet we're not all buying crates. I don't say this lightly: Folks who struggle with this addiction should uninstall or seek help if ESO (or any other game) is a stumbling block (let someone else handle the account information, etc.). The primary responsibility lies nowhere else.

Here's what my 4 accounts recieved on both NA and EU
All the cool stuff went to my off accounts. But free gems Over 600 now, all of them without buying a single crown crate.

Just bringing something to light...I have opened free crates right next to multiple people and received exactly the same thing from the exact free crates. This happened either during the Dwarven crates or ones before that I believe? I would have to look again and I am not at home. Take from this what you will.

Let me give you a hypothetical example:
Person 1 opens crate 1 and gets potion, a dog pet, a scroll, a meal, and an outfit...in this exact order.
Person 2 opens crate 1 and gets potion, a dog pet, a scroll, the meal, and an outfit...in this exact order.
Person 3 opens crate 1 and gets potion, a dog pet, a scroll, a meal, and an outfit....in this exact order.
Now repeat this process for crate 2 and so on. These items were exactly the same...no variability whatsoever, not even with pots or meals.

Now some of you may say this is purely coincidence and that I completely agree that it could have been. HOWEVER, it certainly LOOKS bad on ZOS. It APPEARS to be a facade in order to sell crown crates to someone who is impressionable to fall for a ruse. Give people the exact same things from pre-programmed crates that seemingly look random on purpose.
Make sure you give them a bunch of trash and something considered "medium tier" in order to pique their curiosity about their own possible luck, then sell crates to the most impressionable people. who have that gambling mentality.

I do realize that people have their own free agency to spend money on whatever they want and I do realize that the responsibility falls on the individual for purchasing something or falling for a trick, BUT that doesn't make the practice any less trashy. A dummy gets what a dummy deserves, but the practice is dishonest and dishonesty like that really truly does make me sick.

Please save the goofy opinions for someone else because I'll simply scroll right past someone that doesn't have anything constructive to say in a CONVERSATION. If you have anything to add or something to point out that I may have missed then I'm all ears. Happy questing.

If I handed you a turd, would you be upset that I handed you a turd...even though it was a free turd?

No I would not be upset, I would tell you that you need help for picking up a turd and attempting to hand it to someone and politely refuse, I do have the right to refuse in this totally accurate scenario right? lol. Turd diplomacy.

No, you do not have a right to refuse. This turd was given to you freely, therefore you cannot refuse it or complain about receiving it.

Just because something is free, doesn't mean it's flawless or even good

Wait a minute, when did the choice get taken away to accept something or not? Just because something is free, does not mean you have to take it. That's hoarding mentality. If its free and it has value, then take it and move on, if its free and does not have value, simply do not take it. Now in regards to crown crates, can we not just let them sit unopened therefore not taking them?

That would be more like taking a box of turds and putting it on your shelf, never opening it and knowing that there is turd inside

I got a Banner of Hircine, and a Doom Wolf - both Gold Quality - and I got a purple tattoo as well... in 2 crates. Granted I didn't want any of those things....but people need to realize these things are luck.

You didn't know there was a turd inside - it was just a high chance there was - but there was also a chance there was something that wasn't a turd in there.

Well, the standard crate is 3 <whatever> and 1 blue-or-better. So, yeah, that's the normal setup.



anyway, my two crates gave a memento, a non-dog pet, and ~39 gems (the usual common consumables and yet another Gold Coast XP scroll that I don't care about. I've not used the XP scrolls that I've gotten from leveling rewards or daily rewards either. I'm not sure what the attraction of them is.)

But yeah - two more crates that demonstrate why I can't see ever paying for a crate. All the free crates/card packs/boxes/whatever that games give these days, are a wonderful advertisement not to spend your money on them. (but I'll happily let them keep trying to convince me. It's moar stuff. )

Schrödinger's turd.

All the same, my entire point was "just because it is free, doesn't mean you can't express your grievances about it"

If I'm being honest, I'm suspicious about them intentionally giving you gimped crates for free.

I got two of those ugly banekin pets in the same crate, a bunch of useless potions and a hat I'll never wear. I wish I'd gotten the dog, you lucky peeps, you
