they. have been. advertising. free. murkmire. in november. for MONTHS now. we knew it was going to be a free november reward at least a month before DLC was even released. this was in no way, shape or form hidden.
people bought it, KNOWING it was going to be free. pretty much everyone I know who did it - did so becasue CE comes with mount and pet and they wanted mount and pet and buying them separately wouldn't save them any crowns.
you know what this reminds me off?
when company advertises their black friday sale for over a month before black friday, mentioning specific products that will be on sale. and people still buy things before black friday at full price and then complain about being cheated. if you have chosen to live under the rock and ignore all advertisement? that is YOUR problem
I didn't know it will be free don't generalize...

The mount is 3k crowns.
The pet is 1k crowns.
The dlc bundle you purchased is 4K crowns.
You got the dlc for free too.

While I find this thread silly because plenty of notice was given about the reward, a mount and a pet are worth about zero crowns to me. Sure, there are people who feel such things add value and they could feel they got the value they coveted from the mount, pet, and early access. But this post reminds me of when Humble Bundle claims a monthly bundle has a value of $200 by claiming a game regularly given away for free is worth $10.
There is really some absurd salt over a freebie.
Just one of the traps for them to get people to pay for little / nothing. Another being the trader companion which only buys, but doesn't repair, and banker which allows to access personal account bank, but not guild banks / traders, both for 5k Crowns. No hint in the description about any such limit, how thoughtful of them.

What is Humble Bundle?
And I speaking from the perspective of someone who purchased a dlc bundle SPECIFICALLY because of the pet and mount. The only adult gray wolf or “dire wolf” pet in game so far came with the Horns of the Reach dlc bundle. The Karthwolf amount and matching pet. I haven’t seen another direwolf yet. I have no interest in dlc dungeons that I’ll be rushed through and get bored of/frustrated with in 1 or 2 runs.

To be honest and not to jump on the wagon of "patronizing/flaming" those who dont visit the forums, don't pay the slightest attention on launcher news etc, there are a lot of people , that quite regularly play this game and had no idea.
Its not only Plausible/Possible but to my experience it is all what i see around me.
btw. here is the original news article from mid September where we first knew it was going to be a free reward, not counting actual live announcement during ESO live twitch stream
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/54803
relevant quote - we knew it was going to be free before we even knew exact release dateThe Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire is coming soon for ESO Plus members and the in-game Crown Store, and it will be available as a Daily Reward for the month of November. This new DLC game pack will arrive with Update 20, a free base-game update for all ESO players
and before anyone says "oh its hidden" those things are plastered all over the game launcher AND if you signed up for news mailings? they email them to you. that is NOT counting their social media presence (they announce those there as well)
P.S. as a subscriber the way I see it - this is part of the reason they added all those extra subscription perks - including monthly freebies. and if I ever for any reason drop subscription, that DLC will be accessible to me without having to buy it, so.. /shrug
