Erai_sedai✭✭✭will I hope I don't get (any) more of (their) Bound trash anymore. This total campaign was a big joke (and) they never told (us) all this stuff was bound to one person.

Ah, much better.21 -

✭✭✭✭✭Nothing to see here, just complaints about free stuff. Free insightfuls please.
Side note:The gear it comes with isn't meta anyways, you don't lose out on having that gear be unusable.Edited by Aliyavana on October 13, 2019 9:46PM22 -

✭✭✭Contrary to all the trolls in this thread, the op is clearly talking about how the items were bound, but more importantly how they are nearly useless if you open them on a low level, and due to being bound the chest within a chest could not be passed to a level 50/160CP.
The customers of this game appreciate the free items, I think they just wish ZO$ was a bit more forthcoming with how the mechanics of the event work in regards to opening loot boxes.
My GF was on an alt leveling when she opened the chest within a chest (I forget the name of that particular loot) and was also upset that she could not pass it to her main.
If armor/weapons are going to be part of the "treasure", that should told up front to ensure the player knows to open them on a level 50/160 CP. Or, make the item account bound so it can be passed. Then they player can send it to a level 50 character to use the armor indefinitely, which is why they are upset.

Dracofyre✭✭✭✭i like those gifts, no matter what, if you claim with wrong alts, sorry.
next time make sure. please.5 -
YaYaPineapple✭✭✭✭You are complaining about 10k gold (or less) worth of gear that most people will deconstruct?
Did you at least enjoy receiving the other items, which have a value of around a million gold?11 -
Bekkael✭✭✭✭✭Unbreakable ESO rule: ALWAYS OPEN ALL BOXES ON YOUR MAIN. No exceptions.
I learned this truth very early on with character bound items getting stuck on the wrong character. Treat every crate/box/gift as though it is character bound and open on your main. If it isn't character bound, no big deal, just pass it to the character you want to use it. Fraedda (my DK Nord main) opens everything, then puts it in the bank or house storage container for her brother/sister characters to use.
Learn from this misfortune and avoid future grief.

✭✭Should have opened them on your main character.
Every other reward boxes gear contents are determined by the level of the character opening them, it should not have come as some big surprise.4 -

For completing the amount of dragons killed during the event. Everyone having Elswyer got 10 crates with items worth around 1 million gold. Including unique training dummy etc.2 -

Well, thanks everyone for killing dragons for me and thanks ZOS
They were an awesome welcome back surprise. Those crafting stations will be amazing
Like an idiot, I opened my boxes on a level 20 toon, except I kept my sets in their boxes. I'll open them when that toon hits 50 and hope I didn't bork things up too badly

100% this^^^
Fortunately (hopefully?), it only takes one or two times for this to happen for most people before they, too, learn to open everything on their main.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I opened the first crates on my only 50/160cp. I didn't want any of it for her. So yeah, bummed - I might have a 50 someday on that account that one of those sets might work for, but I doubt it.
So the others, I opened on a level 30, and the mains on my two EU accounts - a level 18 and 20.
'cause y'know.... those level 30, 20 and 18 sets will be a LOT more valuable to me on there than a bunch of "meh" sets at 50/160. See.... I have GOBS of alts who can use those lower level sets FOREVER.1 -

Pretty sure we are not trolling and responding directly to what OP has said. Without the experience you had via your wife there I doubt any reasonable mind would have figure out what you did. So it is not as clear as you suggest.0 -

That gear is easy to get, no need to hold onto those boxes until you are higher level.3 -

True, but I'm way too lazy to farm two more Darloc Brae pieces for my khajiit to finish the Thieves' Guild quests and the Alfiq set will save my crafter a little effort when it's time to gear this current level 20 up.
My little "vacay" in SWTOR-land opening Galactic Command crate after crate has left me with a whole mountain of decision fatigue I'm glad to delay any more of these kinds of decisions for a few weeks

Your post is literally trolling, which is against the forum rules. Here let me show you what you said.This. Such a tragedy.
That offered nothing to the discussion, nothing to help the OP or any other reader understand what the OP is talking about.

Yuffie91✭✭✭✭✭Umm..is it not common knowledge that gear crates you open are the level of your character? I opened them on my main and then banked the items for my alts to use. As I do with all boxes containing gear if any of them can use it..the crafting stations can be placed in your house so they can be used by all chars also0 -

✭If you played eso at least 1h you would know that opening chests and loot will make it your current level.
And assuming that he already has a cp 160 char he should nknow that by now.
So in my opinion...your own fault.

FYI bound items are bound to the account not to a specific char.

GenjiraX✭✭✭✭✭I, thankfully, opened them on my lowest level character because I didn’t stop to think what the consequences would be. If I had, I’d’ve opened them on my highest ranked character and have three completely useless armor sets that I’d never use on 50/160+ characters. As it is, I have three lvl26 sets to give to new characters when they get there.Edited by GenjiraX on October 14, 2019 11:34AM0

✭Every MMO I have ever played you have had to open stuff on the character you wanted to use it or get the achievement on, especially gear. Them making all the rewards account bound was an awesome thing to do and not something I've seen in the other games I've played.
Sorry OP, but the gear is really EASY to get in a couple dragon farming days so all it is not lost.0 -

I haven't checked before claiming my reward, but did the crown store specify that the first offering box would be character bound when bought?PC EU
