    Taking away our freebies and talking up the bonus which is making us have to PAY for something instead. Good move, ZOS, real slick.

    Now, back to the real world and there is little incentive being offered here, really.
    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.

    what a bunch of whinging whining wasters of air you all are!

    Its a simple enough deal - pay the sub for the defined benefits - or don't.

    why there is there an expectation of 'free stuff' at all?

    Too many people with too great a sense of entitlement...

    i'm so happy to pay a week to have the same benefits every other player got for free, except for a Discounted mount consideing that i will get the free statue after this week.

    Great move, you are increasing the number of paying customers with this marketing mastermind

    Eager for the next great move for subscriber. Maybe a free wooden chair?

    What they need to start doing when giving free weeks is moving the ESO+ payers date to pay up a week. Then at least it's really a free weekend to all.

    Weird part is Zenimax seems to be having money problems to have so many of these free weekends. Maybe they should just move past this whole crown store thing and make the game a monthly sub for all. Like I stated in past, maybe even up the monthly charge a couple of bucks. Yet it sure seems like they are hurting for money.

    I would just quit playing if that happened...

    ZOS would have basically stole the game and all the DLCs I bought from me.
    Hoping for more playable races

    I had no expectations where the free crates were concerned so them not being offered was no big deal

    except....

    the only time I got a radiant apex was in a freebie........

    I think as long as I just don't give a damn I'll be fine.

    As for the offers for members... I fully expect a large chunk of them to miss the mark, its what I've come to expect over the last couple years with the very occasional good thing thrown in. I'll just meh and ignore the majority and say thank you when something decent does crop up.

    Though my base expectations being where they are.... doesn't say much for the marketing team at all.

    Who is actually going to spend that much on the reskinned spider? Ridiculous.
    Remember when ZoS put out a dark elk mount for 4000 crowns?

    Also can we get more elk mounts? I kinda want one because I don’t have an elk mount yet, and I love deer 💕 - but no way am I paying 4,000 for a mount.

    We remember that December. We don't forget.

    Being a customer with a complaint does not equal whiny and entitled.

    If that is still up on their website with today's date, I do believe they would be legally required to provide the Crown Crates considering a large number of players do not frequent notifications from the forum. Otherwise someone could go at them for false advertising.

    In no walk of life are you entitled to benefit retrospectively from a promotion of a product that you already bought.

    So you do NOT have a legitimate grievance.

    So they really keep only the special mount discount as eso plus bonus.

    Nice move, the paying customer will be thrilled by that.

    It’s pretty much natural progression. They are obviously doing okay subscriber wise as they don’t feel we need as much free stuff to keep us. TBH though, I could do without another Reaper crate anyway. I was kinda disappointed they were basically the same as last year. I already had most of the junk.

    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.

    Oh boy what a bonus, the offer to SPEND MORE MONEY.

    When they give away something for free that we're paying for then yes, we expect to be compensated for that. They should credit our accounts for all free days they give to everyone. Because my billing cycle doesn't line up with the free trial days I can't take advantage of the free trial so instead I'm paying for it.

    and no, ZOS saying "we see you like spending money, here's something else you can spend money on, and it's ONLY FOR YOU!" is not compensation.
