I miss free crates =( How comes they took them away AND added gem exclusives?

Ah no sweet treats at all for existing ESO subscribers - at least a little something for the one week when it is free for everyone but us would be nice.

A bit of a kick in the tail.

Throw us a small ball of yarn perhaps?

A) "We think ESO+ subscribers will appreciate more consistent rewards in the form of our monthly discount!"

B.) "Players have too many gems sitting, we have to get them to spend some so they have to buy more crates when something shows up they really, really want."

I doubt that crown crates will give given away free now, after the incessant whining about gambling that took place here when they were part of the daily login awards had them.

I am no fan of the way zos has treated pc eu in the last few months, nor am I a fan of the crates, but it is the fault of the keyboard warriors here for them being stopped, not zos.

Be careful what you wish for.

Er, no, not really.

ZOS made it pretty clear that they started doing the monthly ESO+ rewards as an alternative, and that they regard those consistent rewards as a good substitute for the previous crown crate rewards.

Hi everyone,

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.

Cool now give those of us who actually pay for ESO plus something actually worthwhile. The people who use this free trial will just dye all their costumes and be like "cheers for the free costume dye bye"
