With no perks or added time to our subs, it basically equates to current ESO+ members paying for a week of sub that everyone else gets free. I can't see how that works in any way. Bad form, ZOS.

wow what complete bs people complain about getting crates and getting a bunch of junk even when it's free, people complain about free daily rewards and some of the junk in them, now they change it up a bit give a statue instead of crates (which we get in the monthly rewards already). You people never stop complaining about getting free stuff.

You do realize the ESO+ subscription costs money, right? Considering they're giving away 20% of what you've paid for that month for free to everyone, it's more like compensation than a free gift.

I wonder about this though:

"So, from November 13, as an existing paid member, you’ll be able to benefit from an increase of the monthly crown stipend from 1500 to 1650 crowns and enjoy a host of new, exclusive rewards every month."

For those of us with an active six month sub with a little over three months left on it before renewal, do we get the difference in the new crown amount per month or does it only begin when our sub renews? For example, my six month sub renews around the end of January so are they going to toss me a few hundred crowns now when Nov 13th hits?

As mentioned above, ESO Plus Free Trial members will not benefit from the above rewards and bonuses.

I'm guessing that's the reason for the no crates - all those "new ESO+ features" (crown store discounts & exclusives/etc) are only for actual ESO+ subbers. So that's your "but I'm already subbed!" bonus.

Why is there so much entitled b.s. around stuff like this.

You made the choice to buy ESO+, regardless of whatever else was going on.

To say that a company is now "stealing" from you because they are giving other people a taste of what you paid for is illogical.

You are the type of person to *** at the cop who pulled you over when everyone was speeding. WHY ME?

Comparing yourself to other people is a very unhealthy way to go through life, you will never be happy.

Why can't you simply realize that some people have no idea what ESO+ is or does, other people can't afford it. Just because you made the choice to buy it, that irrelevant to any one else.

When an item that you bought yesterday goes on sale today do you go to the store and demand the difference? It's the same thing, that store is stealing potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars from you.

Equity does not mean equality, you don't deserve anything beyond what you paid for. Demanding compensation for some weird idea of fairness is not what intelligent people do.

I'd rather have the 6 crates rofl

They will apply the increase pro rata. That has been confirmed. I think it's intended to happen before the end of November.

In this case, it's not free stuff. This is a week of subscription that we have already paid for, and when it is given to everyone else for free (and we are still charged for it), it basically equates to stealing from us. The previous rewards issued were basically compensation for services that we had already purchased.

Good luck with that argument. Report back on how you got on when you've pursued it with your energy company, broadband company, and insurance companies etc, all of whom offer special rates to new customers including free trials while still insisting that you continue to pay the full rate.

Dear travellers

It has just been confirmed on the tweeter that indeed there will be no crates.

"We are aiming to give ESO Plus members more consistent benefits every month, rather than a few extra bonuses here and there. Additional, monthly rewards are rolling out to ESO Plus members starting November 13"

I mean free crates would be awesome (more gems for this one ),
but I'm also happy I get some more crowns and a mini molag bal statue.

Some people don't like crown crates, so I imagine this is good news for them, if only briefly.

Just a heads up in case you were expecting them.

Entitlement can be a disgusting thing when it rears it’s head sometimes.

Don’t worry about handouts for once and just play the game.

People are so quick to use this buzz word. ZOS set a precedent with the ESO+ free trial crates, to the point where you can see many instances of people saying things like "I'll buy that with gems from my free trial crates" or "I'll hope for that crate cosmetic when the trial comes around" throughout the year. Bucking the precedent is worth commenting on, it doesn't mean someone thinks they HAVE THE RIGHT to something bestowed upon them by a private company. Sheesh.

And then they clearly explained why they are making the changes they are making and what they are replacing those free trial crates with.

Precedent doesn't exist outside of law, just because they did something previously does not entitle you to feel you deserve something this time.
