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

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.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. Our goal is to provide our ESO Plus members with valuable benefits and exclusive offers on a more consistent cadence every month, instead of a few bonus rewards every once in a while.
In addition to the original ESO Plus membership benefits such as full DLC access and the Craft Bag, on November 13 we will launch additional monthly improvements to our ESO Plus membership. These new benefits - available only to paid ESO Plus members - include exclusive Crown Store items and deals, free in-game collectibles, and an increase to the monthly Crown stipend. If you haven't yet, you can learn more about them here.
Yes you're right, for once I agree with you! I'll be interested in seeing what the exclusive discounts/deals actually look like for ESO+ members and I'll mostly reserve judgement until we get a feel for those. If there are genuinely some good opportunities to snag a deal on crown items every month, I can see the benefit.That's also the week when we get to see just what kind of discount they're offering on the Ebon Steel Dwarven Spider. If it's a deep discount, then honestly inexpensive collectibles throughout the year will probably feel better than farming some gems every few months. And with the 12 month ESO+ plan just announced in that article, there's probably a few other things we don't know about yet.
Yea makes no sense. My sub runs out right before the free trial. Whats my incentive to sub during the trial now? Might as well take the free days and sub after. The dumb mini statue can wait a few days.

Will any of this stuff be retroactive for us 6 mo. subscription members?

So it looks like you'll be getting a lump sum at the end of this month (150x the # of months you are into your subscription).As an ESO Plus member, you will receive an additional 150 Crowns as part of your monthly stipend, bringing your total to 1650 per month. Note that if you are partly though a 3- or 6-month membership, you will be credited your bonus crowns by the end of November.

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?

I was wondering about this as well. If you buy in 3 or 6 month packages will we be retro-actively awarded this increased amount? Somehow, I sort of doubt it.
There's a lot of zos white knights in here. A couple points:
1. Some have mentioned items/services going on sale after you buy. I would point out that you're a fool if you DON'T go back to the store and get the sale price. Or, price match through credit card. With services like cable, all you have to do is call them and you can get the new customer price. I mean, really, "a fool and his money are soon parted."
2. If you go into a restaurant and buy a burger, pay $4, and then after you the cashier gives free burgers to everyone then you will be mad too. Just because you don't see the ESO+ scenario the same, does not mean it isn't.
3. Zos can just add 1 week to all our subs to make up for the free week.

I don't need free crates to "make up" for the time I could have had my ESO+ sub without paying for it. I already elected to pay for ESO+ because of the benefits it offers, not for possible bonuses(free crates) at some later date.
